I have even seen pretty darn impressive things done with VisualBasic back in the day. And that were not hobby things. I've seen it used in very important mission critical telecommunication equipment. The compiler was custom, not the on

Was really the first commercial, programable, turing complete, binary (digital) computer. There were many special purpose built computers before, both analog and digital. For previous art (but not built until much later) was Charles Babbage

Yes. Absolutf*kingeverything is whatsup. That was annoying at the beginning. But: people there are practical and flexible. It would take days to a month to migrate, what is impossible in first world, just take Germany as an example. Also wh

Could be. But very poorly stated if so. Anyway, I do not think that even "typically" such statement can remotely be truth. It is 2 orders of magnitude away (20 to 5000).

This happens also with automotive companies. Peugeot has its own bank, which lends money to people buying peugeots. The big difference: is not circular. The bank is a bank, the OEM building cars build cars. The bank makes money by lending a

Setting a breakpoint ist just „b place“ place can be for example file:line, or the name of a function, etc. Then „n“ for next line, „s“ for step-in, „fin“ to go to the end of the function Dprintf for adding dynamically printfs for watching

He was the first hacker as far as I know. He was constantly making jokes, laughing at formal things. I was in the Zuze Museum (his house), and I remember I think in his master Thesis he made some jokes (I think wrote some numbers in binary,

I do not know who is doing the math, but deleting production data does not sound very cheap to me...

And in general maybe have a better working methodic, or however you name it. Sounds like messing around to me.

I know plenty of professional programmers (job title states so) that not even they do not use a debugger, many don’t even know how to install/use one or even the very concept of “execute step by step”. Plenty of python users don’t know

Maybe is personal preference? I like better gdb directly to VC. I’ve tried to debug with VC, but I felt slow working with it. After several tries, I gave up.

Almost every day. I use gdb both for JTAG targets in embedded systems, as in a programs running in my host. Emacs has a front end for gdb. Some colleges use other front ends. What I’m preventing to improve, in your opinion?

Or maybe even WSL?

I use Emacs. It does need some fine tuning, tree-sitter installation, etc. but after that, I cannot understand colleges using VS. I have seen no feature in VS not available in Emacs. Some colleges have switched from years VS to Emacs and af

Yes I don’t get the comments about salary vs hs. You need the same amount of people. The question is if you have 3 people doing 24hs shifts or 3 people doing 3 8hs shift a day… has nothing to do with more people/salary/money is ju

Yes. In Apple the memory can be writable XOR executable. MIT scheme needs to write on pages that will execute, so it will trigger the MMU..

Oh. There is nothing more contra productive than asking an experienced physician “could this not be X”. They will typically go in “if you think google knows better, ask it and fuck off”. Ask me how I know. I think that attitude even has a n

Being a pilot I can attest how important checklists are, and I do advocate for using them in medicine (have practicing relatives, and I have them tired with that). But maybe you oversimplified the book? (Or the book oversimplified how safet

Mmm bot really. First, it was HW and SW, and HW was simulated. Many go on to build something, then test Second, requirements are written in a formal language. I’ve never seen formal languages in DOORS (or similar) before Third we did not do

The written requirement were written in C, C++, python, Verilog, Systems C. So they could be run. The runs were sent to the customer who would validate (approve) or reject.

Yes. But that is a limited DSL. For systems programming, may be more difficult.
