I have been a Linux user since 2005 or 06. It was one of the best decisions I ever made in the world of computers. I started with Ubuntu and went on a distro hunt such as Fedora, Mandriva, Mint, and others. In the end, I have stayed with De

They keep reminding you so you end up buying a new PC with Windows 11. That's all it is. No extra code logic is needed. Just keep pestering the end user with a popup. They don't care for any variations. The goal is to get everyone

Being a teenager, I honestly viewed the N64 (Ultra 64) as being an unstoppable force during the early news. We even had a 486 PC running Doom since the early-to-mid 90s. LOL. I couldn't wait to see what Doom would be like on the N64. I

I was doing some pretty decent rendering in HTML4 back in 2008.. supporting various browers (let alone IE6, 7 and maybe 8 at the time) Around 2010, I did experiment with things like Silverlight and SVGs. SVGs was OK, but the performance qua

My only gripe is with Vec3_new() function in "Memory Ownership" section. It assumes you want a single malloc of Vec3. It tries to behave as if you are doing a 'new' in an OOP language. Let the programmer decide the size

I made a lot of uses for the Push-Pull pattern in ZeroMQ.. but there was others used as well here and there (Pub-Sub, etc) However -- I cannot praise the use of ROUTER-DEALER !! What a GREAT pattern for sending large chunks of data without

I am a big fan of 'do one thing and one thing well' -- that UNIX philosophy. Whether it's a program that does something well... or simply a function/procedure --- it all depends on the problem I/we are trying to sol

While PHP is not my goto language.. and the language has likely changed a fair bit when I last used it.. I don't think the issue is PHP.

Very sad news. Always appreciate her work on the 3DO Doom. Although the worst port it certainly was no fault of Rebecca. Always enjoyed reading her stories and respected her skill level as a programmer. condolenses to her family and closest

I have been a GNU/Linux user since 2006. While I still had a Windows PC (likely dual-boot on one machine) for games and my full-time job, Linux provided ALL I needed 90% of the time. I tried various Linux flavours. Starting with Ubuntu

In the past, I have managed to get my Nvidia Cards working on Linux. It was a bit on tinkering but nothing too difficult. Well.. that was over 10 years ago! I cannot comment today. But the next time I purchase or build my own PC it will be

As much as I can be biased towards Linux and Open/Free Software.. and that I can be anti-M$ at times.. I agree that Windows is a GOOD OPERATING SYSTEM! Underneath all the bloat and features I do not want.. is a clean and fast OS.

Glad I am off Windows (officially) I've been a Linux user since 2006-7 but still had a Windows PC around just incase I needed it. The odd games or in relation to work. Windows 11 was just sloooow. It would take 5-20 seconds to load som

Yes I am aware that IM UI's are popular for games - level editors etc. Just nice to see other possibilities.

This is an interesting project and the picture can certainly fool you for a moment. I do wonder who the target audience is. Sure, this is a nice tryout if you are a VSCoder and want to try emacs. This essentially comes down to new users of

A few years ago, I created a simple Broker (middle layer) program with NetMQ (C# implementation of ZeroMQ) I did not have to worry about a "Heartbeat" because the way the... Client <--> Broker <--> Worker ...would comm

I have the original Steam Controller. It's OK, and a nice alternative even for general usage to move the mouse cursor, etc. I also have a GameSir Cyclone 2 controller. Works great for Steam, Epic/Heroic, and works well for Switch
