Getting any legacy OS to run on modern hardware is very hard. For example, in my case, BeOS has no EFI boot capability, has a serious RAM restriction, doesn't really like anything past a P4, and has no drivers for anything but legacy h

This is a nice project. I use it to emulate BeOS on an Apple Silicon Macbook.

It wasn't really. It was just another closed platform. BeBox had a real struggle to boot anything but BeOS and the platform was so poorly documented that other than the manuals that came with it and the few brief descriptions in Be New

Nitpick, nitpick: BONE was actually a BETA for R5 also, but it was also never released. The Dano version was much more mature and Dano in general is a much later version of BeOS with a lot of changes under the hood.

I think this is very much an age dependent thing for me. When I started programming, there were no LSPs. There was not even any real code completion. I was using the Delphi 1 IDE in my first job and that didn't even really have any t

"clay ui" actually fails. My top hit is: https://clayui.com/docs/get-started/how-to-use-clay which is a completely different UI library from what I can tell, and probably had the name first too as the

I am forever horrified when my 5G phone, which at my house already only gets 4G at best (the politics of cell towers in Southern England is just a sad sad story) drops now to 2G!!! Dropping a modern smartphone to 2G is like basically saying

Sure, but the first link is surely only benefiting those using Windows on ARM? I do have Windows on ARM on a MacBook under VMWare, but my daily usage of Windows is under x64. Second link - not really knowing much about Java I don't kno

I use the Microsoft JDK daily - to develop in Maui for Android. Other than that, I'm not too sure what anyone would use it for over the actual OpenJDK versions. I'm pretty sure the MS OpenJDK is mostly there to support pushing peo

I wish they were SVG, that would make rendering them less of a headache. There is still no good library which takes in a MVT tile and spits out the appropriate PNG or JPEG for rendering in via a tile base mapping engine. There is still no g

So - to answer you two points: Interface Builder was a lot more like VB and Delphi in the past, but around the time of iOS 3, Apple completely broke the UI programming metaphor in it. It used to be all drag and drop (with quirks) but action

VB beat Delphi to market by a number of years. I remember Delphi 1 arriving in about 95. VB was on version 3 (though I honestly don't remember the prior 2 versions.) I do remember a lecturer in University saying that he was excited f

With multiple repos, we can get a single deliverable for each project requirement, manage convergence and still maintain a main branch for each repo. The artifacts can be packaged and consumed by the other dependencies that are changing. It

by memsom 2y ago
No offence, but you might be a little confused by how complex your actual delivery is. That sounds simple. That sounds like it has a clear roadmap. When you don’t, and you have very agile development that pivots quickly and demands a lot of

Good for you. For us, because we have multiple projects going on, pulling the code in different ways, code that runs on embedded, code that runs in the cloud, desktop apps (real ones written in C++ and .Net, not glorified web apps), code th

It is a pretty well established IDE. I used it back on a Nexus 4 when that phone was actually "recent" to give you some context.

monorepos are appropriate for a single project with many sub parts but one or two artifacts on any given release build. But they fall apart when you have multiple products in the monorepo, each with different release schedules. As soon as y

If you open, say Android Studio (or IntelliJ) and start a new project, then open Rider and start a new project - the UI is actually very different for how the projects are managed. PyCharm is different too in different ways. I think the dif

Yeah, the VCL was the first UI framework I used. With regards to multiple inheritance, this was the C++ Builder criticism, not mine. That and the extra macros needed to support the VCL. I was a Delphi guy, so I appreciated that the Object P

The C# dev kit plug-in improved VSCode a lot, but it is still under the same licensing as Visual Studio Community. So, you need an account to use it, and it is pretty restricted for commercial use without an MSDN/Visual Studio subscrip

I think the issue used to be that proving that involved them vetting you and I know that my contributions were deemed too sporadic. Which is chicken and egg - I would do more with a good IDE, but I can't have a good IDE till I do more.

It depends on the platform. For example, Rider on Mac will not open vscproj/vcxproj files, because it doesn't support C++ really on non Windows. But I think that is mostly because it would need to use a different C++ compiler and

The latest version can now even open SLNX files, which are the newest format that removes a lot of the stuff that makes VS Solution files painful to maintain in source control.

I haven't touched C++ Builder since mid 2000's. Does it still rely on the VCL? That was always the criticism I heard at the time. The VCL was written in Pascal and no C++ developer liked that it was not C++. It constantly got flac

Not sure which version of VSCode you think the new UI is a clone of, but I don't really see it. The tool buttons? VS has always had those, thought they had text by default. Tabs? VS has those too. Bottom bar? VS also. In fact, Rider lo

Rider is an IDE that replaces Visual Studio and includes the resharper engine built in. Resharper is a plug-in that is hosted by Visual Studio. Resharper in Rider is pretty much the same as in VS, but in Rider it is native and always feels

I have access to both an MSDN subscription paid through my employer and Rider that I pay for myself. I use Rider over VS2022. Why? VS2022 is slower and way more flaky with Android development. Rider has Resharper built in. I like that I can

Well... the way the Mac lineup was broken in the date range you have given was less to do with wanting to kill the line, more to do with poor management of the designs being used. It was a very egotistical "we can make a better keyboar

Nokia failed because Nokia was Nokia. To elaborate - Nokia innovated a lot. But internally Nokia was chaotic. They were Google, before Google got the reputation for creating projects only to kill them when they had hardly started. Couple th
