Unless you left them near something magnetic at some point, allowed them to mildew, or left them in a very hot car, they're quite possibly still readable. They are remarkably stable over time. See all of 4am's work for examples

Areas where OpenEmulator is better: GPU-shader CRT emulation that looks almost just like a real CRT (I have real monochrome and color CRTs for my Apple IIe, and did a lot of comparisons while implementing double hires support for OpenEmul

If you're interested in reading old Apple II disks, track down John Morris' recent AppleSauce work. It's fantastic. He's @DiskBlitz on twitter, and gave a talk at the last KansasFest about AppleSauce: https://

Let me leave a plug here for the rare hacker news commentator that has Apple II nostalgia, C++ skills, and Linux or Windows GUI knowledge. After having tons of fun getting my Go Apple II emulator basically working, I realized my efforts wou

Seconded. Following a class syllabus on your own time and without grading or feedback except knowing whether you did it is under-rated :-)

If all four on one side went out, I assume you'd be in big trouble.

Aside from the occasional partially misquoted and much-publicized opinionated statement from Go Team members, Go also has some of the most friendly, dedicated, and talented developer community I've ever seen. I'm more than fine wi

It really sounds like you might like Rust. Have you looked into it? /snark But seriously, for a long time before Rust was fully baked, I kept wishing it would be done, so that people hating on Go could go use Rust instead. Now it'

Here to plug using `--passthru`/`--passthrough`: it will print all lines, but highlight matches. I often do things like this to watch an output log, but highlight all entries with the string PLUGH in them: tail -F output.log | ag

See, my obnoxious questions are awesome :-p Actually, I came here to post the correction rodorgas beat me to posting. But your diagram works too: 1/2 base * height… nice.

lol. Fair :-)

How? I think the value would be in the real-life back-and-forth involved with really trying to understand and answer the questions, and in tailoring the questions to where you know the person answering needs to go next.

Alternatively, watch all of Casey Muratori's “Handmade Hero” stuff, and code along, and you'll probably be a better programmer than most of us here.

Mostly-joking-but-I-would-absolutely-make-good-on-it Offer: I will ask you one obnoxious* question at a time, with no deadlines, until you are a self-taught software engineer. The first question is: What is the sum of the numbers from 1 to

I command-F searched for GopherJS, looking for the obvious question -- how is this different? -- but found nothing besides crediting it as “inspiration”. So, how is this different? EDIT: asked in the Golang slack. Will update when I find ou

Would a plausible explanation of this be that one part of an image tells you a hell of a lot about another part of it? And that ConvNet structure captures that really well?

Oh well done. Taking the pun and then actually implementing it fully, for the win. > Pyramid Scheme is implemented using the appropriately-named Racket.

I'd love to see an updated version of this. After reading the stories from the Rust/Servo/Stylo developers, it feels like Rust might just be pushing both "fancy type systems" and "parallelism" to the left.

I did the Coursera version of this course a few years ago. I didn't read any book, but definitely watched parts of the videos more than once. Their scaffolding code is only available for C++ and Java, but (at least when I took it) many
