I just checked out Coedit. It looks quite nice, although I'm rather baffled that it's written in Pascal. I assume it's forked from an existing open-source editor, but there's nothing in the source headers to say which on

At this point, is GNU/Hurd just for people who like to hack around with OS kernels? I mean, it's interesting to see the progress now and then, but I can't imagine seeing it on anyone's short-list for OS's that could

Seems like it'd be a good screen for a system that's intended for use outdoors. A lot of surveying hardware hooks up to a conventional laptop, but it's difficult to see laptop screens in full sunlight, and you either have to

Wasn't that similar to those Transmeta processors that had most of their instruction set written in software? Seemed like a cool idea, but (as I recall) the Transmeta processors couldn't keep up speed-wise with the existing x86 CP

COBOL has been "modernized" quite a few times, but the syntax still looks pretty archaic, most likely to avoid breaking too much existing code. I'm sure backward compatibility is of paramount importance for it. I saw that the

My first impression was "Oh great. The only thing we'll ever see from this is a bunch of luxurious overpriced Surface-branded hardware." At least if they're sharing the spec with other manufacturers, we'll possibly

One of the best things about Flash was that you could pack up all your bytecode and bitmaps and vectors and sounds and fonts into a single compressed SWF file that contained your entire application/game/demo. That made it really e

Is there a good explanation somewhere as to what someone can and cannot make/sell/open/close with Qt? Last I saw, platforms that allow precompiled dynamically-linked libraries (i.e. everything but iOS) could have the LGPL stu

I made it about 125 pages. I wanted to like it, but the endless digressions and footnotes wore me out.

And for games, there's MonoGame. http://www.monogame.net/ It's based on the old XNA framework. At least one successful commercial game (Fez) was written with it.

Yeah, my first impression was "This is exactly like Haxe". They definitely went through some steps to make it familiar.

I'm assuming that this is going to work natively via LLVM, as Kotlin's original target was JVM bytecode, which should work fine on Android right now.

I watched the video twice, and I picked up a lot more the second time. At first, it seemed like he had the speech set to "incomprehensible chirping". I'm still impressed at how he found the syntax error, though.

Yeah, looks like the site's not keeping up with demand. I might have to try it out in a couple of days.

Visual Studio for the Mac is a re-branding of Xamarin Studio, so it doesn't actually share any code with Visual Studio for Windows. I doubt that VS Windows plugins will ever work with it.

And if your engine version is equal to or less than 1.1.13701.0, then you still have the vulnerability and need to update ASAP.

Ahh, it's targeting a Lisp-based OS. I was having a hard time trying to wrap my brain around the possible uses for this. I mean, the LLVM->JS transpiler makes sense for running stuff in a browser. Lisp as a target was a bit of a puz

Is there something specific that's preventing Edge/ChakraCore from working with this? Just wondering.

Am I missing something with these machines? I just priced generic Acer and Asus laptops with the same specs to the Lemur, and they both came out $200 cheaper. Mind you, they come with Windows pre-installed, but the Ubuntu installer will hap

What's the practical upshot of this? Are there some apps that are waiting for this bit to expire so they can finally make things work the way they should? For example, Audacity for Windows doesn't install with MP3 support. You hav

There's not much to prevent that scenario from happening. There's now a "why" section in one of the app's descriptors where you need to describe what you're doing with the permission. So it's not enough to
