Honestly it's amazing how fresh these elements have stayed over the years. The rag dolls are so exaggerated it's really funny. It was like an early version of Goat Simulator.

I'm not an expert on the topic, but the way from a x86/x64 disassembly to an ARM binary is very long. The identification of segments is not 100% accurate, manual corrections will be required, addresses have to updated etc. I'

Yep, I'm surprised how quickly we phase out perfectly healthy machines, just because the software quality keeps getting lower and lower. It's not good for the climate, among other things. I appreciate how zealous the Notepad++ dev

Quite possible. In the article I mention that a Lithuanian hacker by the name of notaz statically recompiled StarCraft, Diablo 1 & 2. But it's a huge effort, of course. Even better would be to (partially) decompile to, say, C for b

Imagine being able to play these games on ARM without emulation? This is also one of my goals, but as stated in the article, the effort to port them without source code is substantial.

This is exactly why I prefer Notepad++, it's resource efficient, it doesn't matter where you run it on. Even on the Raspberry Pi the performance is quite decent.

It was very frustrating at times, I cannot lie... It's my favorite editor though, so I just HAD to do it. Now I have to compile all of the plugins I use.

Thank you very much!

by mivanchev 8y ago
Yes, this is the truth, thank you for saying it! I do feel phyiscal pain when having to edit something without my favorite editor =)

Sorry to be so late, I love rich GUIs and clickable elements :)

I think the receipt is a proof that the store recorded the transaction and is not evading taxes.

by mivanchev 8y ago
Haha, good one, I'm completely sharing that perspective. However, I sometimes buy largish Dunkin' Donuts boxes for my colleagues or for our clients and throw the receipt away. One time a manager wanted to pay me back, because it w

I have no other option, but to agree with you fully. Thanks for giving me a perspective :) Have a nice day!!!

Random things like displaying text you mean? I don't think this has changed that much since the Netscape days. It would be OK if the site needs scripting for some legitimate task to compute a nicer layout, play some animation, interact

I'm more conservative since I don't really see how the lack of scripting prevents them from dumping the content and it works OK normally, but here it's just an empty page with the said "error" message and a single &

I just love this huge bluish background with the text "You need to enable JavaScript to run this app.". I guess in 2018 I need scripting even to display some text and images.

I think I'm traumatized by the Ajax spinners in Jira. It was just TOO MUCH.
25.
by mivanchev 9y ago
Yes, I can relate to that. Jira is extremely slow and counter intuitive to use. So much that I believe it will create friction within an organization, because people will try to avoid using it. Weird filtering system, weird keyboard shortcu

Hey, thank you for contributing to one of my favorite pieces of software :) The Fish shell is my primary choice, because it's so intuitive and easy to use. I never encountered a situation where the Fish shell behaved contrary to my exp

I'm always glad when someone calls and I always call people instead of typing down thoughts. Even better than calling is meeting someone IRL, but of course that's not always feasible. Then I usually begin by telling him or her how

Or you could divide the files in classes like that <pattern> -> "backend code" <pattern> -> "frontend code" and upload only the class a file belongs to.

Well, because it's a mechanism the user is not controlling and is potentially problematic if someone makes the plugin download an update package from another source. I'm a bit paranoid, but I would prefer all functionality to be w
