   1. coders will use every available resource, and 2. there is no limit on resources. The consequences can be left to the reader (re: the article in this thread), but these two postulates are the source of all ills in commodity and open-sourc

   Agreed. Playing VGA games in a DOSBox is nice, but I recovered my 386sx clone from my parents' garage that still boots DOS 6.22 on 5-1/4 floppy and I very much wish I hadn't given away all my disks (diskettes :) before I move

   Makes sense. Apple needs more inroads with the yokel demographic.

   thanks for the suggestion i just installed it (macos). it solved problem #2, I'll have to wait and see what happens with #1 and #3. I like it but it's like going to a new grocery store and everything is in a different place than i

   ...yeah but it is a pain in the ass. i end up with a percentage of unspent money every week that i have to coalesce into new bills of useful denominations. that leftover screws up my accounting system and takes extra work to put to use. i&#

   I downloaded the rooms.txt file and the word "handcrafted" is doing some heavy lifting. It's like one sentence per room. Did I miss something? I don't want to play the game (I hate text adventures), but I want an idea of

    So basically you're a linux user who is mad macOS isn't linux? Don't get me wrong, Tahoe is the worst GUI upgrade ever, but the last time I had problems with lack of native Mac-Arm support was ... 2021? I think your arguments

    I switched from Google Docs to Libre Office a few months ago. I'm surprised how buggy LO is, because I tried it a decade ago and it doesn't seem to have gotten any better. I don't plan on going back to MS or Google, but I am

    Thanks. Honestly I'm terrified about what is happening, and feel 100% impotent. I worry that no matter how many protests we have, he and his fascist ideology are still winning. Voting every 2 years doesn't seem to be doing much.

    Tell me what to do. I go to protests. I vote. I volunteer for Indivisible. What ELSE should I be doing?

    Back in 2008 I downloaded an app similar to this and then during one update 6 or 7 years later it vanished from the app store... and my phone! Been looking for a replacement since. I even studied Swift to write my own. Thanks for writing th

    Yeah I was a burn-it-all-down person too when I was in my 20's. It hits differently now after 40 years of work and the desire to retire and play with my grandkids. I guess in the current batch of 20'something's eyes that make

    Wish I had saved my VHS C++ Tutorials from 1990 with Bjarne Stroustrup. It was mostly him staring into the camera teaching C++. They don't appear to be on his homepage either. Bummer, because this was back before C++ went crazy, and th

    Thanks for listing these, this is really an impressive compilation. I see how naive I was. I assumed everyone agreed that Dodd-Frank was a great bill, and protection of FCC from being carved up by billionaires was also a good thing. Same go

    I did the same on Tahoe and now the formerly glass buttons are grey with a weird blue shadow in the upper left. One example: the sound slider on the menu bar. With all the GFX turned on, it is a transparent blob, with the reduced settings,

    Yes. 28 years ago I founded a small a software company (4 employees) that made test software for a Tier 1 automotive vendor's ECUs. I sold the IP to them in 2007. Next question? Or do you think my background makes my opinion invalid fo
