A good debugger that shows the registers and flags, inspect memory and single step instructions is also a must when you're starting out. I spent many an hour staring at STmon on my atari ST.

My major takeaway from this: 1. Big cities are really boring! 2. Street level has more going on, but some people have to live with quite a lot of noise, higher up is quieter. 3. The world is a much windier place than I realised. Great idea

>many of us developers have been practising social distancing long before anyone heard of COVID-19 ;-) I would even argue that we invented the internet to solve exactly that problem, keeping our distance from other meatbags :-)

That's good to know, 'cos my poor old iPod nano (circa 2007 I think) that I love definitely is in need of a new battery.

It was invented once in the 50s, but they didn't get the message, so they invented it again in the 60s.

Stop producing plastic bags and go back to selling soft drinks in refundable glass bottles would probably make a big dent. The extra energy needed for glass production and transportation of heavier glass bottles would have to be factored in

Well that should just be about enough for each customer on Apple iWeb Cloud Services to have their own ip address once it gets started.. :')

Also means attackers are much easier to spot in the logs. It's also a point of real interest if an attacker took the time to port scan you first in order to detect which port your ssh is on.

I loved Firewire too, I can still remember the jaw dropping speed (at the time) that it copied music to my iPod.

Great place to store meta data about a file, never thought about that before. I guess if the download stream is interrupted it reads that to know where to pick up again if resumed? Another obscure feature of NTFS is Transactional NTFS which

Switzerland is pretty clean, and it's largely due to the Swiss culture, and the fact that there's plenty of bins which are regularly cleaned and emptied. However There's one class of people who believe that it's their Go

I had exactly the same start, with the Input series. It's thanks to that magazine that I even learned about assembly language programming, which although extremely low level and in many ways arcane opened the doors to understanding so

If you wanted to see an OS that really was way ahead of the curve then NeXT Step was it. By mid 1993 it was already on the 3rd version (running on a Motorola 68040 no less) and was already doing everything that NT could. I really love watch

Just wanted to say I find Notepad++ to be an excellent tabbed editor, especially for XML or SQL. I use it on windows all the time and really miss it on OS X where I find Textmate to be a bit awkward.

Another app (just for Linux) for throwing a few controls on a Form and making a database front end is this : http://data-forms-action.com Doesn't support database creation, just Form building.

Switzerland actually has quite a diverse economy, and depends a lot on the export market to the rest of Europe and tourism. That's why the strength of the Swiss Franc is always a problem for the economy here. One downside of living her

Well, when over 20% of residents in Switzerland at any time are foreign born, you can kind of understand why some of them might feel that somebody needs to fight for their corner.

Interesting read. So what has happened subsequently ? Was everybody encouraged now to upgrade to the 0.8 client across the board? Otherwise the same thing could occur again, deliberately or not, couldn't it?

It probably also gives somebody discovering the flaw a disincentive for exploiting it just for fun and then bragging about it since there will be no payout in that case.

I find it quite interesting that a lot of these About boxes have the programmers names - not something you see so much of these days, except maybe in games where there's a show credits option.

Do you pre-allocate all bullets per shooter? Or have one big bucket that all shooters use? I take it that having a finite number of bullets in the game at any time is obviously an acceptable trade-off.

Very informative to someone who's not a designer. I found the part on text on images especially interesting, and like the arrow in the FedEx logo, once you know about white text on images, you'll probably start noticing it every
