The only thing i miss from macOS is preview's ability to copy/cut/paste PDF pages. It is way too convoluted anywhere else.

Now, that easily wins the "most unexpected combo" of the year as only one word comes to my mind : Why? I mean, I get it, it is about money. It always is. But I'm really wondering what is the benefit of GOG, and more insidious

I see this one as the same level of inline ASM in C code. It is certainly a bad practice, but on very particular occasions it is invaluable.

I sense incoming bikeshedding in the comments. Just have a look at how many C make replacement exists

I guess the fishy thing was the Patreon, which I was not aware of. Hell, I just even knew about Yuzu because of that lawsuit. #streisand

I immediatly had a chain of questions: * how will they pay $2M? * why did they settle for that much? * isn't strict emulation legal? Maybe not in the US... * is there something fishy that was hidden somewhere?

Scripts like https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat help, but should not be needed in the first place. Note that modern Linux is also leaning towards the same trend. But i admit it is still much easier to avoid those

Perl is the canonical example of "less is sometimes better". I love coding in Perl. But it seems that everyone uses a disjoined subset of it, which makes collaboration awkward. And, if C let you shoot yourself in the foot, C++ giv

If you plan to scale horizontally with a microservice strategy, you'll in a lot of pain. As if you have say 100x more customers, will you divide your application in 100x more services? As others said, microservices scale manpower, not

Soldat was actually the first shareware I bought, as I totally didn't have to, yet I sunk so many hours in it. Without doing much progress skill wise :-D

I'll have to try it, if only to honor Wirth. And mostly to see if those fond memories of learning to code with Turbo Pascal survived the test of time...

That it is true or not is irrelevant. Fact is that it will a endless quarrel between scientists, until enough time has passed, where it is either: * forgotten as the problem was not real * too late as the problem was real History will repea

I can cook myself using only my free time. But I'm willing to shell out some money for having someone cooking for me and doing the dishes. Yet, only if the price is right. A good legal bargain kills illegal ones. But then capitalism gr

Best is to hire a mix, but code like only juniors come in. As a senior is always a temporary junior at first when hired. https://blog.pwkf.org/2022/09/18/always-optimize-for-dummies...

i wonder how much of that is due to rust being too young to have myriads of dubious code to copy from. Perl is even more memory safe than Rust, but the amount of crappy code is overwhelming...

I use mingw/msys2 with great success.' I even do some directx dev with it. All with very portable code that can even be built in the standard github action ubuntu.

My first idea was the Push-Over game from 1992. Awesome memories... then I realised it was much more than 10 years ago... I guess i'm just too old.

With DRM you never purchase _content_. You only purchase a _license_ to access it. Words do matter. I sense possible legal grounds for reimbursments if it wasn't crystal clear to the layman.
