It's different for me. The youtube page just starts with a whitened stationary placeholder where the video should play. It has a "skip" button and I don't have to wait 4-5 seconds (watching an ad video). This is probably

I actually liked WPS Office which does not seem to be based on Open/Libre office and looks more compatible with MS Office. But in the recent years, I just purchase MS Office licenses, so I am no longer aware with the current state of

Perhaps Youtube shows differently where I am, or perhaps the ad block extension I have installed is helping. But I also just noticed that Youtube is now occasionally showing skippable ads before starting the video. I actually find the worka

I actually had to Google search just to confirm it is not a coincidence. Unfortunately, I can't say much about other DAWs as Reaper was pretty much what my budget allowed, and that was my first (and last) paid full featured DAW. There

Thankful that is a dialect of BASIC! The other great references mentioned here parse C-like languages. Although I can try figuring out, I'm interested to see a good tutorial that does parse BASIC syntax. Also interested to see how it i

Wow. The title looks like a link to a toy project. But this is actually the origins of REAPER!!! My favorite DAW. Feature rich, original, not bloated, cross platform and reasonably affordable. Pretty inspiring to see its early stages and ho

Not just for games. Imagine VR tourism, meetings... or even escapism. Especially these days. Last time I used one the graphics isn't as immersive yet. I don't mind tethering it to a powerful computer. But image quality is a must.

Modern browsers these days are powerful things... just a curiousity, are there non native browsers?

This guy really deserves an award. I wonder decades from now, how many people would look back and say how much these books have influenced them.

As for video courses, I have Alex Aiken's compilers course on my list. It seems a bit more advanced, and I'm still on introductory material, so I haven't started with it yet.

I just recently finished Crafting Interpreters. The third part of the book covers a bytecode virtual machine and overlaps with compiler concepts. Perhaps Bob didn't put "compiler" in the title since the bytecode VM still requ

In BASIC the equal symbol "=" can mean assignment or equality depending on "context". Is this an example of a non context free? On the other hand, I've seen EBNF definition of BASIC (VB, actually). Is this a contrad

Was reading the PCem forums to figure out how to share files with the host. It seems disk images or getting networking up is necessary (which is not uncommon for similar emulating programs). One thing I really like about DOSBOX, is how ordi

Stating the obvious, a web browser with a search engine. Then custom scripts I made to do specific tasks on hundreds of files. So familiar scripting languages, in general, such as those regularly used at work. I had actually used MatLab for

Now we just need an automated image stabilizer for those shaky videos... Just kidding. This is awesome! Just imagine the possibilities with enough computing power.

Many thanks! This is a gem. Within a few minutes, I've seen interesting courses that Google search never found for me.

I wish it had more dedicated IDE besides the atom/electron based ones (like GNU Octave has its own). I think Julia's performance deserves an equally performant IDE.

I think the real news here is that people still use these search engines. :D

Thanks. Though, I still think it would be cool if there's a more native port that runs out of the box. Curious to know the experience on the Gambas apps produced in Windows. I guess they would also need Cygwin?

by signaru 7y ago
Their instructions for compiling it on Cygwin hints on its dependencies. Looks like a long list, but many of those probably have ports for other plaforms (e.g. Windows). The Wikipedia article says it has been ported to Mac and FreeBSD &quot

VB classic was my first programming language since it was so easy to spit out GUI programs that looked like any other program you use. I'm afraid current popular languages like python and javascript do not offer that "instant grat

Amazing! It would be fun if they could somehow integrate jspaint.app which is a very close replica of 90s MS Paint.
