Ah LAN parties, AoE, BfME 2, C&C ... good days. The LAN setup times, not so much but we had it down to a spritely 1.5 hours ;)

Having lived in both NZ and Singapore I can second these comments. Although the 'a business cannot rent out a home' bit would probably not work in practice. There's definitely an ongoing need for commercial landlords, althoug

So, not disclosure from a security ops / policy perspective, but it is 'disclosure' this the equivalent of a 'here be dragons' comment on a map ... an endorsement for the 'curious'

This is very cool! I hope this code get supporting in Unity / Godot and better still gets some (financial) love too.

4 days from reporting to public posting is not a responsible disclosure policy. Even if they are slow in responding, the usual grace period is about 4 weeks if I recall.

The Cuckoo's egg is certainly a candidate for a reboot - a factual one, not with Hollywood 'based on a true story BS'. There's enough material for a decent Netflix movie I would have thought.

In that instance their smartphone access and traffic is almost certainly monitored too making the point somewhat moot.

+1 to this … I’m so over endless discussions individual philosophical and aesthetic preferences in o/s and window managers. As long as I can be productive and not have to ‘fix’ things constantly

So not actually open source yet, just a non binding statement …

I would have thought so too ... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

TL;DR Use cloud based development environments to avoid machine (developer) specific, non reproducible problems, and increase productivity (speculatively) Probably ok for certain needs, but not something I would use. My productivity comes f

I personally enjoyed coding very much 30 years ago - first professional gig doing C (moving on from Basic / Turbo Pascal). The good: Fun projects to work on, and no cargo cult programming BS. Lots and lots to learn, programming books

Yes, there are numerous micro benchmarks that demonstrate this. Python has improved in speed, but outside specific uses cases where a C based library performs the bulk of the computational lift, it certainly lags behind. This despite some m

I think it depends on the size and makeup of the development team. Smaller startups / teams need a CTO with strong coding and especially architecture skills. Larger orgs probably benefit from a CTO that has a strong product background

The provenance principal as it relates to artwork, and cultural artifacts is a pretty well established process for determining ownership. This should really be what governs if artefacts are considered stolen / looted or were gifted &#x

Looks very cool. I'm going to be in Switzerland next week, but sadly no time to make the trip down from Zurich... :( Reminds me of the Computer History museum in Mountain View, CA. I visited many years ago, it was very cool then, but m

My 2 cents ... If I know the individual inviting me then a polite 'thank you for the offer / thinking of me, but I must decline.' no more is needed. If you do not know them, i.e a blind invite, then ignoring is more than a re

Interesting, this case does indeed look to be a new variant - something in between the original 64 and the 64c. I would say (without knowing for sure) that the original was surely released in Australia as well. The original C 64 was definit

1+ hoping this project gets some momentum. I'd love to see a 'native' Clojure, something that operated more like SBCL would be amazing.

A slight variation I prefer, and strongly advocate is ‘own (or control) what makes you successful’. It may not be unique, and doesn’t imply always building it yourself, but you should be in control of those things.

Second vote for me. While C# may have the greater 'head count' in usage now. TP and Delphi were ground breaking, revolutionary products IMHO.

Singapore has been this way for a long time - living essentials are localised, public transport is great. Car congestion is still a problem though, even in a city with such a good public transport system. Better bike paths is still somethin

I have to say, any tech organization that has its engineers only coding 20% of the time is doing it wrong. Yes there's much more to software development than pure coding, but 20% would suggest serious organizational structure and proce

Ah, Battle for Middle Earth 2 (BFME2)! Now that brings back fond memories (and countless wasted hours defending Helms Deep / Minus Tirith from 2 other players!). Perhaps not an iconic example of an RTS, but certainly a fun one for any

For those people that wonder why consumers still torrent movies and TV series, here's your reason. And while media companies continue this behaviour, piracy will continue unabated.
