Since I became a convert to the "put your own VM in the frameworks and add a cute language for your core logic" kind of school of thought, I seriously cannot see the value in Obj-C and the Android/Java thing. I've been writing code in thes

We in the Oric-1/Atmos scene are still producing software for these 8-bit machines. (I say we, I'm just a participant in the party as a CLOAD'er, mostly, but one of these days that bit will flip..) Anyway, there is a huge resurgence of inte

It's a long shot, but if it were me I'd put everything in a text MarkDown/Up language (train everyone on it), then have things laid out in a managed directory tree that is administered by way of a source repository tool (Git, &etc.) The

Seriously, this is worth knowing more details. When did you lose it, where, and what else is on the drive? There is more mining to be done of hard drives, indeed, in your average metropolis ..

Because its an interesting example of the status of the Rust language, which some of us may or may not be familiar with, and with such a starting point as a quake3 renderer, newcomers to Rust may indeed be encouraged to explore the features

All thats missing is .PNG's instead of "0123456789". Not much difference beyond that, when comparing such style of games of the 80's with similar games of the 21st Century, to be honest.

You can remove the painful Unity interface with great ease, once you have the machine in front of you. There is no requirement to use Unity as an interface shell by anyone other than Canonical. If you don't like it, switch to another inte

I would say that you are wrong: its definitely ready for the general public, when that general public is using a modern, decent distribution, and not trying to fiddle so much. Less fiddling, more playing: thats the current state of the art

>Wine requires knowledge of what you're doing and a fair amount of fiddling for most things - this raises the bar too high for general consumers, probably more in terms of effort than skill required. I've been running games in WINE for

Linux has far more games than "25" or "165". Linux has far, far, far more developers than it has "game development studios", currently writing software for it. The Independent Gaming scene is ripe with great stuff that will run on Linux

See the response above - there is a window in 2018/2020 that private entrepreneurs will shoot for. I wish them luck, personally .. I'd love it if someone other than NASA got there first. It would truly ignite the human race.

I'm more bothered by the authoritative fact that 'the timeline for a manned mission to Mars is the 2030s'. Says who, NASA? They're not the only ones trying to get there.
