Similar issue (seen in iOS 10 as well): when setting an alarm, swipe the am/pm selector and then hit "Done" before the animation completes... Yeah I missed a meeting once.

ScummVM may interest you, although I don't know if the source/developer docs are laid out to expose the VMs' evolution over time. It implements the LucasArts and Sierra VMs, supporting games from the C64/Apple II era all

I'm still surprised that "the computer knows where on the track you are, and alters the behavior of the car" is allowed. This is the sport which outlaws ABS because the driver is supposed to do the work, not the car.

I think this varies by location and subindustry. I've seen the front end devs you describe in (some) smaller Aussie companies. OTOH every front-end dev I meet in San Francisco does HTML + CSS + JS. In a large enough place, they don&#x2

When the "Hilton" hotel is actually a franchisee, aren't the aggregators and the "hotel chain" basically in the same business? It's structured differently, but you still have a company with a (multi-)national b

I'd look at old DOS applications - the last mass market (i.e. not just technical users) for non-GUI apps. Although towards they end, they were often just aping Windows GUIs as well as they could (see https://en.wikipedia.org

20 years ago people said the same thing about Java applets opening the web to hordes of developers without HTML experience. Doesn't make the result good.

I disagree in cases like this, where local wall time is the source of truth. I would go further than OP and not keep UTC time around in a separate column either. Why? On March 13 last year, Chile announced a new daylight savings change, to

Speculation: people may want to use Ragel-generated code in C++, where strict equality checks are idiomatic. p may be an iterator instead of a raw pointer. >= can be absent, or slower than == .

Could you talk a little more about DOSEMU2 versus DOSEMU? I'm literally spinning up DOSEMU today to run a bunch of old DOS compilers (Watcom). I can't find much on DOSEMU2 other than its release logs, which seem focused on games a

Veertu exists now - it's in the app store, and uses Apple's Hypervisor.framework (just like Docker for Mac). I purchased it because having Apple supply the in-kernel virtualization component strikes me at the Right Thing (tm). Vee

If you're a webserver and want to serve clients which support gzip encoding, you need to be DEFLATE compatible. For something like virtual memory where you'd control both the compressor and decompressor, there's little point
