Yeah... Exactly. Look at all the stuff Bell Labs came out with in the 60s and 70s that still survives today, without their involvement. Go will live on regardless.

Long term sufferer here.. One specific metal concert 15 years ago did me in (unfortunately). I too found that noise cancelling headphones actually flared up my tinnitus more; and resorted to selling my headphones.

I edited my comment. That's fair comments... I meant more the non-board stuff such as wires/interconnects etc. I actually saw a thread once where people were able to correlate bulk purchases on Alibaba/Ali (since they publish

Random fun fact... Nim was also played in Season 3, episode 9 of Halt and Catch Fire (between Cameron and Joe, at Comdex). Actually the title of the episode is Nim.

May I suggest the utility Eee ( http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/eee/index.html ).... Combines multiple files into one executable. Works great!

I'll be the one to say it: because a large majority of programmers are liberals, democrats, and anti-capitalist. And they feel everyone else should be too.

To be fair, by what I recall 007 and Turok both ran like garbage on any emulator... Unsure if that has changed any.

Yep, total garbage! How we've allowed this sort of nonsense to be acceptable is beyond me. Notwithstanding the article itself is also heavily padded with crap for SEO...

No kidding on 2005. I now only associate this magazine for mostly wannabe managers who want to read some entry-level article (likely while on an airplane), who go into their next monthly meeting spouting off what they passively read with li

Personally I use my programming language of choice to generate a ".r" script and then use the os exec system call of said language to call Rscript scriptname.r... If I'm understanding your question correctly.

Used Tiny Core as a daily driver for nearly 5 years. While it certainly is good at running on older hardware, the title is a bit misleading as that's not really the focus of the project... It's just a consequence of it being such

Agreed...one of my favorite books. Don't use snobol4 too often these days but the book is a unique read. Same with the Spitbol manual by Catspaw.

I'm not sure what's more unsettling to me: That we have managers here who believe that reading emails and sitting in meetings is considered contributing and making an actual difference... Or that HN has this many managers on it

Completely alarming this comment is being down voted. It's 100% true.

No kidding... We got managers here saying they don't know a lick of Python their "IC's" [1] work on, or they can only contribute by ordering pizza when their team is working hard. Seriously...talk about textbook Dunning-

Well said... Unfortunately some will then transfer this to their own resume in some sort of spin that they are a subject matter expert.

Says the guy who fleeced so many people with his 'pono' toblerone paperweight! Think it's time he stepped away from digital music.

I don't see any comments on the pink background.. Which pretty much burned into my retinas while reading. HN looked blueish to my eyes when I came back to it! Unsure if this was a high-level intentional play by the author!

This is very nice, thanks for sharing! Hope to implement.

The SNR point is well taken. It's probably why I find less popular languages to be more enjoyable. Practically anything Python or Javascript related is flooded with too much entry-level commentary and Medium articles (yick). Languages

Probably extremely minimal if any; especially with all the advances in Mawk/Gawk since 1988. The only immediate advantage being you can essentially turn your Awk into a compiled exe with Awkcc. However it's important to note that

Agreed. I'm sick of people referencing that damn website from 2.5 years ago. It's not vaporware whatsoever... It has over 12k github commits FFS. It's an excellent language and has a great community on Discord of excellent pe

There are probably many adequate CEOs already within Apple, making average compensation. You seem to believe CEOs are minted; they all move up the ranks like the rest of us. If the skills are there to lead a company, investors don't ca

It would probably drop 10% or so (out of investor uncertainty) and in 1 to 2 months be back to where it was, regardless of successor.
