Is this going to break the internet or what?

A web page is for presenting structured text with embedded media, and optionally associated—and user-replaceable—style information. A web page does not need direct or even indirect access to your GPU, and it does not need to run a Turing-co

Sure there is: Design your game for the systems the majority of the users who will want to play it—after you’ve marketed it to them to them—will have. Don’t start with system requirements first and make a game targeting that because you wan

Game developers who insist upon working a certain way and insist that they have to target a certain kind of high baseline hardware say this. Game developers who want to reach a broad market and are willing to meet their deployment platfor

When games are targeted to the Macs potential users have, they have always sold reasonably well. Back when the Mac market was far smaller, and it was much more difficult to develop a game, developers did OK. If you start with the premise th

You can write applications that run all the way back to Mac OS X 10.6 using the latest Xcode. However, our of the box a new project is going to be configured to build for the latest macOS supported by the version of Xcode you’re using. It’s

Other than the cryptography, how does Scuttlebutt really differ from UUCP?

Yeah, it’d almost be better to use SD for virtual memory to at least put the flash wear on something consumable.

You don’t need a dependency injection framework to write unit tests, you just need cleanly separable units with well defined interfaces.

Pascal as used on the Apple II, III, Lisa, Mac, and IIgs had the minimal extensions needed to be a systems language and was pretty much isomorphic to C. The “switch” from Pascal to C in the Mac market was less a “switch” and more a change i

So no running MUMPS code on Google Cloud then?

Don’t sanitize it, he was fired for being anti-gay. That should make it a little clearer why funders won’t touch him (and many won’t touch his new work).

Any chance of putting it on github, perhaps even starting with the original?

Lvl Up and AFK aren’t all that similar to businesses already in Campbell though. The empty bank building was a real eyesore though, especially with its prominence on that end of Campbell Ave. And now that it’s filled, a couple more of the e

Sounds like you don’t understand what Mach actually offers. Check out Amit Singh’s book.

OpenGL has not been removed from macOS though. It’s just been deprecated.

X window managers don’t supply the widget set used within windows, they only provide exterior window chrome. You need a matched pair of window manager and widget set to get a coherent UI. This is the result of the “mechanism, not policy” de

The Windows 95 look and feel is almost entirely attributable to NEXTSTEP. Proportional scroll bars on the Mac go back to Lisa and were used in GS/OS before Mac OS. Windows had nothing to do with their adoption.

What do you mean by “disposable?” As far as I know, Apple will take back any previous product for recycling.

Because the 32-bit runtime has a fragile base class problem that can’t be fixed—without breaking binary compatibility. Class instance variable layout and instance sizes in the i386 runtime are fixed; making this flexible was the major imp

You don’t think Singapore and Malaysia are part of China too, do you?

by eschaton 7y ago
Sure it can. Especially since Tibet is a separate country; invasion is no longer recognized as a way for a country to increase its area.

And how can one obtain this emulator? If you can’t get it, it may as well not exist.

What made you think it was “no longer in use?” It’s a very big world. Just because something isn’t mentioned regularly in headlines doesn’t mean it’s not out there.

In DCL on VMS, this would look something like: $ INSTALL /MODULE=DockerMsftProvider /FORCE $ INSTALL /PACKAGE=Docker /PROVIDER_NAME=DockerMsftProvider /FORCE $ RESTART /NEEDED /CONTAINERS=*

Sounds like the author wants the VMS shell with its concept of command tables and attributes that provide fully consistent syntax and standardized online help. It even makes it nearly trivial for any utility to provide its own command line

Does it censor Pooh-bear though?

Nah. There are literally historical and current events you’re not allowed to talk about in China without being arrested and charged with a crime or even disappeared. That’s not an overestimation, that’s the very definition of authoritarian.

Sounds like someone needs to start an Ada on LLVM project! Maybe US DoD, automakers, medical device manufacturers, etc. would even provide support/funding.
