Oldest still supported? Probably gotta be GCC. Oldest unsupported? I have some VB6 tools I use to make tilesets for Sega Genesis homebrews.

Programming, BASIC in particular, was pushed very hard in the 80s and 90s because it was viewed as the next common household skill. After numerous advances in UX, it sort of returned to its professional exclusivity.

Not even making services age-appropriate?

I've known many people who have Jobsian tendencies. They don't have depression, just a low tolerance for bullshit.

If you're sharing a large van with others, it absolutely can approach cheaper.

This wasn't particularly true by 1990 but early in computing history, most engineers didn't have any computer in their house; being expensive and all. Maybe they thought of it from that angle. There'd still be a lot of older

Adobe formats are notorious for bloat and scope creep. Implementing a conformant PDF reader would require you to implement a full 3D engine.

Definitely had the same observation that Google prefers subterfuge through obscurity/difficulty as opposed to legal methods. Their open source projects are notoriously impossible to build.

Those working in the industry often know what's coming. What they often get wrong is how it's economically deployed, when it arrives, or what effects it will have.

The ending seemed like the perfect depiction of an AI dying in a late-20th-century film.

Still makes me scratch my head when the car was billed as having "full self driving hardware" at the point of sale. This is the second hardware upgrade they've done already, although if it's free I suppose nobody but i

"Discovered" in place of "invented" is actually cited as a common error in many English style guides.

I advise Google stop pissing off both conservatives and liberals, or antitrust action will rain down pretty easily.

It's very obvious that the author has an extreme pro-socialist bias. How is suburban living "conservative"?

I'm also pretty sure no state managed to successfully pass and keep a "bathroom law", especially after the enormous outrage against North Carolina.

It's probably more accurate to describe transitioning as redefining what it means to be a woman, not simply asking people to deny one's physiology or to "play along with a delusion". Before, it was simply being born a

All they need to do is box it in, and if it's functioning properly, it will stop itself.

Don't forget horrendous build systems. Ever try to build a Google product? I wanted to use Skia for my game's GUI - I never got it to build.

"Non-PC" is often used as a dogwhistle to bring back white racial communities. I stop reading when such nationalism is even hinted at.

The author doesn't do a particularly good job of hiding the fact that this article is little more than a complaint that "his side" (white, Christian, conservative majorities) no longer enjoy unearned first-class citizen statu

I have OCD as well. Picture opening htop and seeing a process stuck in D state filling up all 8 cores.

Is it just me or does it seem this would be trivial to detect with tangible proof? One or several software-defined radios can be set up to listen to the full breadth of the radio spectrum. If an incident like this is ever reported again, co

It doesn't have a use case, at least not yet. But easy, cheap gains are running out in general-purpose computing as we near 1nm process. Heterogenous computing will then become more relevant, and a great way to do that is an FPGA.

A lot more incentive now that they're the copyright owner for many TimeWarner productions. It just all becomes part of the big math problem.

Boy, this is really starting to remind me of the controversy over bundling IE in Windows 98. Makes me think that all products eventually end up as bloated due to market pressure.

I was floored when I read the responses to malfunctioning equipment in Texas. "Voters are moving too quickly through the pages." That is a BUG! not user error in the slightest.

This is primarily the legacy of the baby boomers and the younger generations have a less profit-centric view of the world.
