"P.S. The dev engine has all the same limitations as the game, so Mac 10.10, Win 10 (dx12) and unfortunately (at this time) no Linux build" No Linux build yet. Ouch. Well at least better than nothing.

"Contains no build scripts, makefiles, or tools required to generate executable binaries, nor does it contain any pre-built binaries / executables" Considering the repository is 80's assembly code, I have no idea how to

"is there still a place for native desktop applications?" What if your program needs to directly access some kind of hardware, say EDC machine?

Kinda reminds me to the legendary Canon 50mm f/0.95. Manual focusing at f/0.95 is not that easy and with that reaaallly shallow depth-of-field, making interesting composition is hard.

No. It's not "yet another UNIX/POSIX-based OS". It's completey written from scratch. I haven't followed Menuet for a few years. Not sure if now they have GCC or not. If not, probably you won't see your fav

The downside of being written completely in assembly language: what if someone wanted to port Kolibri to, say, ARM CPU? Hmm...

In general, you don't need to be exceptional at math for doing programming. A basic understanding of arithmetic is sufficient. Okay, perhaps if you work with numerical analysis on daily basis, or doing type theory/lambda calculus&

RIP John Conway. I think my interest on digital organism sparked by his famous Game of Life.

So what's CS, then? Probably a mix of applied math+engineering?

Very shocking news indeed. Rush is not Rush anymore without him. Definitely one of the drummers that raised the bar. RIP Neil.

Yeah, I'm not sure how my C experience can aid me learning Haskell, Scala, Lisp, etc. I'd say if you are just a hobbyist programmer, learning C is probably not always a necessary. Go/Python/Pascal/Java etc is fine.

I'm a photography enthusiast and hardcopy photography books is A must. Period. I mean books that display the works of the photographers. Sure you can find some of them on Flickr, Instagram, etc. But to study the complete work, gotta

I kinda miss Photoshop. Well, I'm a big fan of black and white photography. One of the plugins I rely on is Silver Efex: https://nikcollection.dxo.com/silver-efex-pro/ I still don't found the equivalent for G

So someday we can expect a $1000-ish smartphone which image quality-wise can compete with medium format gears like Fuji or Hasselblad?

I'm a firm believer in work-life balance. If I spent almost every day in the office till night, very highly there's something wrong with my self management.

Is this still actively mantained? I still use Windows and sometimes the machines I'm working on don't have dev environment to build SBCL.

I wonder why the author didn't mention Pascal. Hmm...

What about Pascal, then?

I once owned a Blad, and kinda regret selling it. D'uh. Now my main medium format gear is a Rolleiflex TLR, use it for shooting anything... but still miss the Blad due to it's versatility: interchangeable lenses and film backs.
