You know what else you can do... google an existing song and copy the lyrics then make it make a version. It is HILARIOUS! https://suno.com/song/52a61a54-e25b-438a-908e-01074e6b75fa/

Well - it is even more than that. They basically used Apple style code resources to define PalmOS apps. You used to be able to compile Think Pascal code on a Mac, and some guy has worked out how to use that code resource to convert it in to

If you look at the version in C that Ian C Bell did for the trading engine, you can see how all that was procedurally generated. It is fascinating.

Firstly, I guess you state these aren't built in yet, so I guess it might change, but I wonder if the lack of unsigned primitive types is intentional? It seems like something I would want to be built in. Secondly, you have byte as int8

Symbian actually had a negative effect - it held back Maemo internally and that and the internal politics surrounding the Symbian group asserting their dominance at the time ultimately hurt way more in the long run.

My "just won't die" laptop is my trusty MacBook Pro 2012 pre-retina. I have owned it for 8 years and it is still perfectly usable. I can get it to run Ventura with OCLP and honestly, it is only that I now really, really need

Some might argue that most software ends up "testing someone's code for free" because many products do end up leaving QA with bugs. There's a lot to like about JetBrains. Their IDEs are good. I've use a few of them

Hey wait - I know that Bosnian, Serbian and Croatian are very similar. But Macedonian is basically a dialect of Bulgarian and Slovenian has a much more complicated grammar than BCS, it still has the dual and stuff like that. Slovenian and M

Probably, but my org leans very heavily on outsourced IT, and so we are at the mercy of whatever their policy is. Also - if I let the said outside IT take over management - it will go wrong. The current system just means I need to go find a

So - I'm not a Java programmer, but I do a lot of C# in Visual Studio 2022, Visual Studio Code and JetBrains Rider (which is built on the InteliJ engine), so I guess I have a unique perspective. Rider is hands down better at refactorin

The way Apple handles this sucks. It is not clear how you can transfer purchases, or if that is even possible. It would be nice if there was an easy way to merge obsolete/outdated accounts in to a valid one.

That sounds a lot like your company allowed either a personal account or an account tied to an individual to be used to purchase the software. Surely a better policy would be to use an account not tied to an individual in that case? This is

The z80 was "compatible" with the 8080, but I think the 8088 was a variant of the 8086, which I think used slightly different registers. They described it as "source compatible".

I did Delphi dev for about 10 years. For me it was Delphi 5 that was the king (I did use every version prior to that too.. including version 1). Delphi 6 added CLX and that was weird and awkward. No where I was working wanted to go to Delph

We have a very similar printer and I wondered if we had the same sticker. We do, but I obviously peeled it off ages ago because it was stuck randomly to the back of the printer and the USB port is already accessible. I seem to recall having

I think I have been using FiraCode now for about 8 years? Something like that. Ligatures are the best thing ever. Some of my co-workers don't get it. I can digest code either way, but prefer the concise and crispness of ligatures.

Word meaning can be fluid though. Like Wrist in English and Vrist in Swedish mean completely different body parts - despite the words obviously being related. English has a special way of changing meaning - so words like "meat", &

yeah - it can mean "by" too... it has a number of meanings. It is the usual "almost but not quite the same as" you get when languages and prepositions diverge. Norwegian and Swedish are pretty similar, except when they a

Not really. US copyright law is based around protecting the rights to use a "work", but European copyright law tends to protect the originator. It might seem similar, but in practice it is not. "Fair use" as an example,

Well - it depends on the topic really. And, not the fact a law exists in the US. A judgement in the US has no bearing on law in other countries, except where it is used to then set a presidency as others had said. US law is actually differe
