So. That. https://blog.pwkf.org/2022/09/18/always-optimize-for-dummies... "Easy to read" means "easy for others". Current efficiency is usually borrowed on future one.

A nice beginners book in French is "Le livre du C premier langage" by Claude Delannoy. The same author has a serie of books that are nice, but this one is the best to begin with. My 8yo did managed to learn programming on his own

Ah... the dilemma of which CRT to bring? - 'portable' old 14" for safety and ease of transport - 'shiny' new 19" for showoff and ease of gaming

Flash. Had a love/hate relationship with it. Mostly because it was already awesome for the time, so the quirks were rather surfacing. Very much like an "Uncanny Valley". And I really think that it was the "steam revoluti

A 90s retroLAN would be great... Playing 90s games, that are rather cheap nowadays.

I remember thinking this TCP/IP will never work out, too complex. Whereas IPX works just perfectly. DHCP was a god send that proved me wrong. Well, until someone, somewhere forgot to disable its own server...

They embrace liberal ideas but hate liberal persons? Joke aside, referendums are a narrow scope usually. So you choose what you like the most. Or a candidate has a broad scope so you usually have to choose what you what you dislike the leas

Same thing as a Commando of few soldiers can accomplish focused tasks very effectively. But you still need an army to hold ground. Guerilla tactics only get you that far. Same in business, you can have very focused teams when you are a star

Awesome idea! But why a fixed year range? ;-) Make it "as soon as EOL, and at least 5y" That will put some incentives of longer support, as otherwise everything will be released immediately.

I'd argue that UK and EU aren't of the same size. And threatening is one thing. Actually doing it is another.

I name it HDA: Hype Driven Architecture. It is much more driven by personal career goals than real business or technical incentives. I also don't usually care as everyone is free, unless they are on my payroll ;-)

That is exactly why I like to learn and teach things in chronological order. Why study long-obsolete tech? Because it helps you better understand why the current tech is what it is, and it even makes one think about possible alternatives, w

I actually was also thinking that way. But then, after looking back at my old code, I struggled and crafted my 1SLOC guiding principle. I never looked back. Wasting time when writing code is actually an investment into future read speed. I

This just looks like the poster child of "hell is made of good intentions". It may look seemingly harmless at first, even a good idea. But you'll seed doubt. As that will erode the value of the whole site. Which was its main

The battery is indeed the HW part that has the most decay. But in that 5y time-frame the SW part is the one that is the most problematic. It would be nice to be able to replace the ROM easily after the EOL of the device. Will self-regulate

Exactly my thinking. If the problem is TLB evictions, why not improve these? PG isn't the only software that is hit by those. And if you carefully craft your CPU scheduling and address spaces mapping, you can reduce them by a lot. Yet
