Decade old code might compile but might not run on modern hardware. E.g. I have some code base, s7 scheme + c++, which is 100% posix and it compiles on M1 macs but does not run. And no this is not due to the change from x86 to arm, as the c

It doesn't truly matter or? It's not like you are going to work on sundays. You only realize it with calenders in e.g. Outlook, and long gone TV guides....

Crosscompatiblity? IIRC the same concept was used for some exo-lisp gtk bindings, IIRC fennel, and I couldn't get it work for the life of it under M1 macs....

At first I had the same thaught, but then he speaks about Arduino and embedded systems with hard constraints, and it makes sense tho.

What baffled me most about that time, was that (some) developers would use PCs to develop ZX spectrum games. This was e.g. described in Bob Papes fantastic book "It's behind you", where he recalls the development of R-Type. N

Thank you very much for the detailed explanation!

I am not sure if I understand correctly. So this is a scheme running on a scheme. You need e.g. Chicken to compile/minify it and then run it via Gambit.... Why? Why would I do, except of learning puroposes of course, do such thing. I c

Yeah, the M1 is fast and does not get loud when doing heavy tasks BUT the whole system needs polishing by Apple. Last night i brew installed haskell-stack (HEAD) which would compile the whole thing. It takes quite some time and while doing

I just saw that there is sales on PS Store. So if you own a PS4 grab the whole collection with all 4 Jak games. But yeah, an open source JAK would be unbelieavble.

2021 was the 2nd year in a row that there was sales on Apress where they throw out great Lisp books for 6/7/8 Euro printed or digital. Subscribe to r/lisp or r/common_lisp and you will get the news.

So if they have C Functions for all the things, this mean I could improve render depth? I just played OOT with mupen64 and realized that e.g. when you run around in Kokiri Forest some object like npc's will appear only when you are pre

From the github page ( https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-eeprom/issues/28 ) you can see that this needs an updated firmware which you can install via rpi-update. Never used Ubuntu on the Pi only raspbian, but

If you buy a e.g. 2+ plus some mods you can attach it to a modern TV and use SDs or even harddisks to load roms in a jiffy, which exeeds, at least my, childhood dreams. That you get for half the price imho.

Same here. When I first saw that feature 2014 on my MBP back then I thought Linux will have that soon. Man was I wrong....But actually it should work, as I can e.g. tap 3 fingers on a link now here on a XPS to open it in a new tab.

Cool write up/experiment, and I can feel the pain with Linux and Sound issues. A few days ago I had a job interview and they used MS Teams. At first I was completly blown aways that there is a native linux app. For the first 5 minutes

Actually the MBP is a poor example imho. If your dGPU dies, like it used to in the past and needed resoldering by a specialized shop or replacement of the whole logic board, you lose your external monitor capabilities. Maybe they improved t
