I would actually recommend trying MacPorts first, because it can uninstall cleanly, whereas TigerBrew is a fork from before Homebrew got around to thinking that might be a thing people would want. Which means you won't be able to try M

Teeeechnically yes. But the barriers to file transfer get larger the farther back you go. I have two old Macs that I use for writing: a 1985 Mac SE 2/40, and a PowerBook G4 1.67ghz. The SE is indeed pretty thoroughly cut off from the w

The significance is that this console version is a new release. Note the dates in the update log.

Indeed. APIs do not just appear from the void, someone has to write them for anyone to have an API to glue together. Somewhere at the bottom, fundamental code is always present.

But you are mistaken. Increasingly buried underneath all the big talk about privacy and the blog spam, is the fact that Cliqz also is an advertising company: https://cliqz.com/en/magazine/press-release-cliqz-intr

Honestly, I have consistently found the changes in the last couple of versions of iOS on iPad to just make things worse and worse, for no reason. Moving the control panel to the upper right despite this making no sense on the massive iPad s

I honestly think the fault here is not technical, it's ISPs. Between the RIAA/MPAA breathing down their necks about piracy, and the realization they could make a mint charging inflated "business rates" than letting you d

Indeed, I will never stop being amused by the hysteria over the GDPR. You know what makes it really easy to comply with the GDPR? Stop spying on your users. Just stop. It infuriates people precisely because it threatens the ad surveillance

Seriously. And why isn’t the mining blocked on by default? Most users aren’t going to know to even look for it, and I highly doubt any of them would support what’s basically theft of their resources.

I must begrudgingly agree. I've spent less than that on entire actual retro computers that could emulate multiple of these in parallel.

Indeed. There’s a few proper games that trickle out now and then, and the App Store editors do try to highlight them, but they’re still few and far between and buried under crap. And now days even paid games aren’t immune to gambling and pa

In the early 2000s, it was Java and everything else. It still kind of is in a lot of places. My country barely bothers to even teach anything else at a lot of schools, and enterprise is almost entirely dominated by the JVM. You are exactl

Ocaml is ok, but coming from F# it feels just clunky enough to be noticeable, as if you’re using some early pre-release version version of F#, which in a way yu are, since F# started out as just a port of it. Adopting a light-ish syntax si

What are you talking about? Scala doesn’t even have a consistent syntax, on purpose. By design there are multiple ways to write many things in the language, often with unpredictable and inconsistent results, method syntax being the most obv

“Python-esque with ADTs” is exactly what I loved about F# when I first found it. Unfortunately, the tooling is just as much of a nightmare (though with the dotnet CLI it is slowly showing signs of improvement), and cross compatibility is st

Eager evaluation prevents many forms from being implemented at the function level. You can't for instance easily write a short-circuiting and() function in most languages, because arguments to a function are eagerly evaluated. So given

I like parser combinators, but I think they obscure the formal definition of the language being parsed. There's something to be said for having a declarative specification of what you're parsing. I used to feel similarly, but th
