There's an ISO for a Windows (95?) based SDK floating about. It possibly is the very same CD that you mention.

Maybe it does? A causal reader might not be aware of how hypocritical certain operators are in the IT space and are reading this for the first time. Just because it's obvious TO YOU doesn't mean it's obvious to everyone. Thou

What's worse is they are very resistant to change. Think Banks and Windows XP. Except without Microsoft drawing a line in the sand and saying that they're no longer offering even paid support for it. If the change doesn't bri

I don't think it's wise to add a magnet link here. But as I recall looking for Breach Compilation may help finding the requisite gist on GitHub.

Yep. Just got a reply from my guy at Amazon who referred me to https://youtu.be/U42mC_iKSBg Which clearly says compatible and goes into more depth than anyone really needs. I would say this person would be authoritive, rath

Yes! Mind-blowing isn't it? Aurora ... Is "compatible" with postgres and MySQL. Not based on it. I can imagine the reason Amazon moved away from Oracle's flagship DB because of the licensing fees. You've obviously n

Agreed. Like PHP, MySQL really ought not be used in production systems. (Also just because LAMP stacks are popular, it doesn't mean they're much more than toys)

The real solution is a single major social healthcare program, throughout all the states paid for by federal taxes. A single major provider of healthcare will have better negotiating powers than the multitude of hospitals and insurance prog

And air display was around shortly after the iPad was launched, yes including touch-mouse features. For me, the novelty quickly wore off. Amazing how long Apple took to replicate THIS VERY OBVIOUS FEATURE.

Pre-posix macOS (previously known as ‘system N’ where N was the version number) did indeed use pascal calling conventions, so the posters assertions aren’t unreasonable.
