You wouldn't believe the amount of crap I take whenever I introduce very basic version control at the various 3 to 6 man shops I find work at these days. I'm 100% sure that once I left that the devs went back to remote server cras

No...the REAL wildest part of this is that I am old enough to have sat in a Radio Shack window display and using a TRS-80 and TANDY-BASIC I believe it was (?), and actually saved and loaded my attempts at writing games using a off-the-shelf

I started learning python about 6 months ago and this game is absolutely the most perfect codebase/project i've seen to help me "level-up" my coding game within this particular language, plus the game is an absolute gem

With all the overt and hidden biases that us flawed humans live with daily, the idea that you will be able to pick really skilled devs consistently is laughable unless your doing some sort of blind interviews like symphony orchestras do now

You have obviously never built a house in the U.S., otherwise you would never make such a statement. As almost everyone knows, construction delays and cost overruns are the norm, not the outlyer. Construction projects here very often suffe

So I am extremally disappointed that I just had a very poor interaction with your project. So I wanted to see how radios looked at work, but I completely unable to understand what i needed to do to actually see an example. I clicked the &q

Its hard to pirate SaaS for rather obvious reasons. The cracks don't work for very long and usually don't work for 20% of the system. However, I agree...pirating is a must-do these days. It's almost impossible to figure out

“It’s communication, in a way.” Yes..."get the fuck away from me douchebag" has always been understood as an effective way to communicate.

Hmmmm why my first instinct is to agree with you wholeheartedly, after a few moments of reflection I start thinking “well isn’t that the actual point here?” Perhaps the program designer wants people to see actual coding as an artistic expre

Oh the horror stories I have using that built in MS-BASIC without an UPS and living in Central Florida with all the lightning... I must have spent half the developement time of my early programs simply retyping in stuff that I had done the

I had that url active for over 5 years here and never once was contacted by anyone interested in talking to me about a project, so forgive my cynicism with not being very concerned about keeping it alive. Fpr the sake of not being a total j

The dissonant intervals that were introduced by modern composers in the late 1800s and early 1900 by composers such as Rachmaninov, Revel, Debussy, and Varèse were hardly "pure". The most amazing feelings often wash over me, in fa

Introducing major key based songs would do a lot to improve the mood of the music. In general, major keys are used for a lot of pop music...for example, both the Beatles and Nirvana wrote almost all their hits using major keys (Let It Be an

Of course Galacticomm was HQed in Lauderdale and they made the MajorBBS multiline BBS system so I can't help but wonder if you had any experience meeting the quite brilliant devs that ran that shop? My company, Magicomm, wrote 3rd part

So being semi-retired (unable to find work due to 10yr+ past background issues) and living in Vegas, I've really given serious thought to building some sort of NN to help with gambling in general and specifically the picking of horses

QNX was/is simply amazing! Talk about an OS that should have utterly destroyed DOS and all other CLI-based OSs. I first encountered it at an oil-terminal company I worked at in the 80's and couldn't believe the features packe

Exactly $499US is all you need even today to get a pretty damn good machine in my book....4.4GHz 12th Gen i5, 4k OLED, 8GB DDR5, 256GB SSD PCIe4.0...from, of all places, Best Buy? Now trust me...Best Buy is pretty much the last place I woul

The problem here as I currently see it. What could be complex to some could be simple to others. How could grug developer possibly make sense of such a contradictory statement? My name is Groot!

In this highly realistic tennis game... Its always a plus, in my book at least, when the dev has a solid sense of humor...thanks for the work and I hope it helps a youngster get into game programming.

Fucking Smalltalk... This...what do you call it? A mindset? A way of life? The answer to all questions? Because you cannot simply call it a programming language that's for sure. I started programming in 1979 and throughout my long car

Pretty impressive results if you ask me. The bots really seemed to grok the issues at hand and did a very good job of both processing the natural language and figuring out the answers. I can see some pretty obvious applications for this te

Only you, as it's sole (or soul even) developer, could possibly be aware of its current state and result sets and how they may or may not be differing from your ideal vision for it. For the rest of us, it's a really cool project a
