Will it meet the same fate as the gimmicky Autosafe SkyPark that opened in 2001 and went bankrupt in 2003, and still had cars in it when the building was demolished nearly 20 years later? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-s

I'd be jumping out the top storey window after about 2 minutes of being required to use Python as a shell. Python is a full-on programming language. Its REPL is a REPL for that language. Interacting with the OS and filesystem is a nich

If this is as stated, then Oracle will still offer macOS/x64 ports of Java 11 LTS, Java 17 LTS, Java 21 LTS and Java 25 LTS. Java 25 LTS was released last year. All these LTS versions are still receiving updates. You'll only be in

I should correct myself here and say it's not potentiometers, but that the mouse has vertical/horizontal wheels that let infrared light through to detectors, and the hardware is counting a quadrature-encoded pair of pulse trains,

If the Amiga's mouse-pointer sprite was removed and the pointer was rendered onto a bitmap, it would still be 50Hz . There is more than enough time to do that. The flawless refresh rate comes from the fact the update is executed as pa

It would be simple, but somewhat incomplete. It would not look like a virtual memory subsystem where merely accessing an address can allocate physical RAM to it. The API is already there! AllocMem(, MEMF_PUBLIC) allocates shared memory, ot

nitpick: ARM1/2 were 26-bit . The PC register used the bottom 26 bits for the address of the next instruction, and the upper 6 bits for status flags. Lots of code involves getting or twiddling those flags by amending the PC register d

MUI was slow because it was written in C and went all-in on BOOPSI, as well as supporting fully dynamic layout. It could likely have been faster, but the sort of people who paid for it were also the sort of people who bought CPU accelerator

To give a corresponding example, try moving the mouse while loading from floppy disk on Windows 95, ten years later. The mouse pointer judders! This does not happen on a 1985 Amiga, even with a fraction of the CPU power, which it needs all

That is not the case. The article is quite clear that LG runs an "app store" where 42% of the "apps" likely contain residential proxies, and LG is going to make its "app store" developers stop doing that. From

While I'd agree that the 10.11.x releases have terrible performance on some APIs to the extent that I rolled back to 10.10.x and marked it as held, until they release 12.x... Jellyfin is a daily driver for me and works amazingly. I hav
