As a synthesiser designer, I'd like to thank you for the effort required to document this process and for sharing your fine conclusions. Now do a Fitts' Law analysis! :) Seriously though, your collection is pretty neat. My mind

I am a big fan of the MOAI toolkit, which is similar to Godot in some ways - inasmuch as its a game engine toolkit with a Lua front-end - and with which I have created a number of 'non-game' GUI apps. It was easily one of the nice

I am a huge retro fan. I go by the motto "Old computers never die, their users do." Every computer that was ever made, is still just as useful as it was the day it was put into operation, for some reason. Okay, its not absolute:

In fact, Atlassian is a security risk, for this factor. What do you think the ADF would do if, say for example, someone used Jira to manage their whistleblower contact and reporting? Those yachts'd be boarded, mate.

I have a pair of Atari Portfolios' in my retro collection, one of which is my original from the release, and the other was a contribution - and they're simply delightful little machines. My original still has Turbo C on it, and al

Would love to see a version of this but for ARM64 .. I'm assuming a few of these tips will be applicable, but I bet there's some ARM-specific things to be learned.

Its honestly not inconceivable. Here in Vienna, there is a serious contingent of pro-Erdogan demonstrators rolled out to counter any demonstrations against Turkey, and they're not disinclined to violence when things don't go thei

Oh, the downvotes are one thing - and I fully concur that many times, individuals espouse points of view that do not gel with the mainstream narrative - and that is what the downvotes indicate - not necessarily whether someone is 'true

We can no longer really know what the truth is, honestly. This is why the political foo-ha about "facts having a liberal bias" and all that was so poignant - it was an admission that the Internet had won.

I think it was because of tape-drive manufacturers. Tar was often used to move big data off the platters and onto magnetic tape - cpio didn't have that killer application. In the bad old days of metal, tape was how you saved things,

Yeah, that's kind of a rub. What if I don't want to be remembered in the future? This sort of seems cynical on Google's part. The right to be forgotten has just been irreversibly denied to some of us. I know for a fact that

Yes, exactly. And this is, incidentally, why Americans are so afraid of looking at the statistics of their wars. Because the very real evil of America's wars is obvious, in plain view, for all to see. “People tend to turn away from di

You didn't read the document. Read the document, gain an understanding of the statistics and why - and how - they are key to America's propaganda war - and then we can continue. Read the report. It answers all your questions. A
