I highly doubt it, Windows is known for its stellar backward compatibility. Code signing means a lot of older software, that is still in use, would not be able to install or run. This is not going to happen (at least in the enterprise).

Check left menu for more details. Looks like a cool project. We get a computer with VGA output, FDD and RS232 ports.

- You can still learn from the best of the best, its called books, try to read at least one per month. - Conferences, not my thing, but if you are new, you may learn a trick or two there. No just go there, try talking to the people. Approac

Blogs and small sites still show up when you look for obscure contents like "RS232 DTR line". So far when I had a very specific question related to hardware or software I could find it via Google. I find that blogs and small sites

My bet would be to write a small program using your target language. With ChatGPT this is extremely easy as you will get a list of recommended libraries to use. Try to choose an app that requires some serious coding e.g. creating an image b

Ad Scala - it depends if you already knew a JVM based language. If you are coming from Java you will have a head start: use Maven/Gradle instead of SBT, you will already know IJ, you will know your way around managing JVM versions and

Let's hope it won't be Oracle. ehm... jokes aside. I think a more reasonable way is to setup a foundation, composed of biggest players in tech, also companies like Google, Meta, Microsoft, Mozilla Foundation, Linux Foundation, App

This is not my domain so my knowledge is limited, but I wonder if the chip designers have some sort of a standard library of ready to use components. Do you have to design e.g. ALU every time you design a new CPU or is there some standard c

I am a bit concerned here. I wonder how much time will pass before someone decide to use it to hack a computer?

Indeed you are right, there is syntax highlighting. Also my last comment sounds a bit harsh. That wasn't my intention. It is a great project.

When you dig into the code you can see that the author did the bare minimum to have a nice demo. For example only 2 functions are supported: MsgBox and InputBox: https://github.com/BAndysc/AvaloniaVisualBasic6/blo

Scheme is a small LISP written in C. It is smaller and simpler than Clojure. Common LISP is much more advanced if you find Scheme limited. Erlang and Smalltalk are both interesting languages based on message passing paradigm. Verilog - a ha

You may always put an "innocent" looking file into the output binary that states who is the actual authors. Say you may create AUTHORS file in your repo, but store a SHA512 of that file in some obscure file in resources e.g. META-

Great that JavaFX is not dead yet. I still use it for hobby projects e.g. apps that communicate with Arduino or MIFARE card readers via serial ports. Ad 2024 the framework is seriously behind any other commercial GUI be it WPF or Qt. I foun

I think they selling point is that you do not have to solder. Soldering is not for everyone: you need expensive equipment, soldering in an appartment without proper ventilation is quite harmful to your health, young kids should not solder.

I only want to add that you need resistors with slightly ticker leads. Most of the cheap resistors have either too soft leads or too thin and they do not provide a good contact with the breadboard. I use quite expensive (comparing to noname

This assumes that you will have only a single model. I expected at least one model per race (elves, dwarfs...) x adversity (friend, enemy, neutral) x some psychological models (e.g. Jung personality archetypes). So with ~100 GTP models lear

Not sure about physics but I am really looking forward to see games with NPC characters powered by ChatGPT. That would make some game world really deep and involving.

Isn't this expected. Bitcoin seems like a completed project, you can fine tune it to get better perf, fix security issues. Any significant architectural change is basically impossible now without breaking backward compatibility. Not on
