I was in the last year of junior high school in 2000-2001. We had computer lab running Windows 3.1 (each student had their own floppy disks to save their works before logging out). We learnt HTML basics: displaying paragraphs, images, blink

I haven't touch KolibriOS for a few years. It used to be 32-bit only, not sure today.

Amazing machines? I haven't tried extensively the M1, so my experience is still limited to the Intel Macs. They are OK. Not jaw droppingly good, just okay-ish. I work as a mobile app dev and unfortunately you can't avoid Mac for i

Writing an fully working OS is one thing. Writing an compiler is another thing. Writing an OS that is compilable with that compiler (and also able to run that compiler) is ANOTHER thing. Terry Davis was a mad genius.

I'm a heavy Pidgin user during undergraduate days (2006-2010), when Yahoo Messenger was still really popular. Thanks to Pidgin Portable, simply copied the zipped folder to the USB flashdisk, visit any computer lab then I can YM'ed

The price for 2nd hand GFX 50S or 50R is very tempting. For enthusiasts like me who rarely make huge prints and mostly only post on social medias, 50 MP is waayyy more than enough :D

I still use Zone system when taking portraits with film cameras. Meter the subject's face, then expose at Zone VI (for Asian folks with lighter skin tone). Works great.

When I started learning photography years ago, my genre was street photography. It was practical, no fancy equipment needed, don't have to go far away. You just go out and start shooting. I was interested in documentary work, trying to

Actually, I wasn't being serious. Sorry if anyone see my statement that way. I don't do Java for backend anymore, thus no need for IntelliJ. OK, Android Studio is based on IntelliJ too, at least it's not paid product. I'

Then should us, Android developers, abandon Kotlin and Android Studio? Both are also Jetbrain's products. Hmm...

I'll pick iOS, because that complements my Android experience. In some situations, it's preferrable for mobile app devs to able to work on both platforms. And thanks to Flutter, React Native etc, it's relatively easier. I occ

Learning programming languages, as long as it's on the same paradigm is not complicated, e.g moving from Java to C#/Kotlin. But if the paradigm is very different, say from Java to Haskell, OK this is pretty tough.

Even if we use iPhone mostly for Whatsapp/email, for us with bigger fingers, typing on smaller screen is more typo-prone. Annoying. iPhone 12 Mini is still acceptable. iPhone SE? Nahh... pass.

Why comparing Zig with Nim, though? I think Nim has quite nice standard library and production-ready. Zig, on the other side, is still highly experimental.

Interesting, as much as I admire Evernote, I want something that is open source and can be installed locally. Of course, Git integration is another plus point.

macOS because you need Xcode for iOS dev and Xcode only runs on macOS. If I'm not doing mobile app dev, then will easily choose Linux.

Nim. Think of hybrid Pascal + Python, pretty nice standard library, can be compiled into an executable. As much as I admire functional programming, my brain still mostly think in procedural.

Is there implementation that is actively maintained? CoreWar looks like my ideal programming game. Now I'm playing Zachtronic games (TIS100, Shenzen I/O) and occasionally Robocode.

I learn Turbo Pascal before Turbo C (about 2 decades ago, in high school). Both used the same procedural programming approach. It was a really easy switch. Trying to learn Haskell after C++, on the other side, was difficult for me.

Probably the standard Go compiler doesn't provide many optimization? I just checked that the one used by The Computer Language Benchmark Game, and not gccgo. Perhaps..

For some people, travel aligns perfectly with photography. And of course when they retire, plenty of time to do travelling.

I wonder how much effort were put into finishing C99 compliance. And if not mistaken, the compiler also wasn't even C++98 compliant.

Only as a part of learning OS kernel development, which is another hobby. We mobile app developers practically have no use of assembly code.
