Another thing to consider is FASM (Flat Assembler): https://flatassembler.net/ If someone can build FASM 1 for 64-bit MacOS, it would be great.

I still use foobar2000 on my Windows system, and still regularly update it. But once Winamp is alive again, I might change my mind...

Android Studio, obviously when working on Android apps, which is my daily work. It's pretty much the standard tool for doing Android development: dependency management, profiling, debugging, etc. I used to be a big fan of Eclipse for a

These days, those who print their photos are usually: - Couples after finishing their pre-wedding photo sessions - Photography enthusiasts. Some even still have their own darkroom. The rest? Nahh. Printing is a waste of money. We have socia

True, for any non hobbyist, smartphone is more than sufficient. You take some pictures, do some editing, and post them to family Whatsapp group or Instagram. Mission accomplished. All done on the same pocketable gadget. Let's how the f

Sooner or later, I think DSLR is fundamentally "dead". To understand my PoV, perhaps we need to go back into 1940/1950s. Practically the most camera used at this time is a rangefinder (including Leica), which was a mirrorless

I started learning assembly a few decades ago in high school to learn how to write computer viruses. Not there yet, though :p Nowadays I re-learn with different motivation: to write old school console (NES, Sega, etc) games: https:/&#

What Terry Davis did wasn't just writing an OS, but also developed his own C dialect and the compiler (HolyC). In a way, I think that guy was even a greater genius than Linus.

How would you suggets developers born in mid 80s/90s to learn COBOL and find COBOL jobs? As far as I know, practically there are no COBOL jobs around me anymore. Big established institutions like telco and bank usually use Java. On the

Veteran assembler folks very likely still remember the good old Randy (Randall Hyde) vs Betov (René Tournois) debate in alt.lang.asm. e.g: https://groups.google.com/g/alt.lang.asm/c/gYJ4KYpczSc?pli=1 I like H

At least writing REST API in Go is much easier compared to Rust. Since you are writing OS (which Go is not designed for), what's your thought on Pascal or Ada?

Back to undergraduate days > a decade ago, I think I learnt both lambda calculus and Turing machine at the same class: Formal Language and Automata Theory. Of course Turing machine is more easy to understand because... it's a theori

Yeah that's still an unsolved issue. Now I mostly work on macOS for mobile apps development, and sadly can't run Red.

Well checking if your opponent argument commits logical fallacies is just the first part. The second part is, of course, providing your own logical counter.

This is very cool. If I were interviewing for candidates, I'd definitely ask for their "useless stuffs". Sure, being able to develop and maintain whatever you need for your company is important, but sometimes you don't h

I guess we have to wait for libraries like USB stack written in Rust.... and not to mention LLVM support for embedded devices, yes? Not really sure, though. I'm a mobile dev, and not an embedded dev :D

I have some experiences with few Kiev cameras. - Kiev rangefinders (2A, 3A) which are the Contax rangefinders copies. Overall they are pretty solid (build-quality wise probably the best, compared to FED/Zorki/...). The lenses are

Far superior to digital? I saw an exhibition a few years ago where big prints were displayed. Some were taken with 4x5 films, and some with digital medium format (most likely Phase One). I'd say I had a hard time figuring out if a part

"Even nine years ago, it was easy to see that, outside of high-quality DSLR and mirrorless cameras, standalone cameras were over." Hmm hard to disagree with that. For pros and experienced enthusiasts, sure nothing beats camera sys

Do I want a Linux phone? Yes, as a mobile app dev, I found our current situation a bit "boring": you either pick Android, or iOS (or on certain situations.... both). That's it. There's no another major player.

I always think that J2ME is practically stuck since most of BlackBerry users (which are J2ME-powered devices) switch to Android. Turns out I'm wrong. It seems that Java ME is still being updated: https://www.oracle.com/

Pangolin 15 looks interesting. Compared to the latest Thinkpad X1 Carbon, I wonder how bulky the thing is. Sure display wise, it's bigger.

Many years ago, I used to think that Scala was going to be my "next Java". Now, guess it's not Scala, by Kotlin. Why? - First class citizen for Android development. Yes, most of my works is on Android. - Not to foreign compar
