   In 1980s I used (pirated) Hisoft Pascal on a Zx Spectrum clone (48 KB of memory). It wasn’t as nice as Turbo Pascal but it was great for computations - by 8 bit standards it was very fast. I learned about Pascal from a computer magazine art

   For me switching to Python 3.11 was really tough because of various legacy stuff removals (like coroutine decorators etc). While my code did not use these, the dependencies did. For some dependencies I had to switch to different libraries a

   I actually learned Pascal on a ZX Spectrum clone. It was Hisoft Pascal, so it was a bit limited (no strings - you had to use ARRAY OF CHAR instead). But it was awesome to draw 3D graphs due to its “fast” floating point routines.

   I love Expose too. Even my background image is the famous “bliss”. My colleagues laugh whenever I share my screen which brightens the mood as well.

   I just noticed “Apple Fitness+ Free for 3 months” in Settings. It’s definitely an ad but less annoying than candy crush.

   So a completely broken product went through the review without problems. This makes me wonder: what do they actually review? Do they even try to run the thing before approving?

    For me the only KDE distribution that works is OpenSuse. I tried many others (including Fedora KDE spin) and had significant issues each time. Even KDE Neon was a disappointment. So I’m in the green chameleon land for now.

    I used to have a job where I always had a feeling of being watched. Pretty much anyone passing by saw my monitor and there were always lots of people passing by. So during (rather frequent) downtimes I just had to “look busy” - always pagin

    If you “happily pay” that means you have money to spend on things that are not bare necessities. This makes you a very valuable advertising target. If Instagram eliminates people like you from ad audience (by allowing you to bypass ads), th

    I don’t think Rust is inherently bad to write emulators. For example one of the best cycle-accurate IBM XT emulators is written in Rust: https://github.com/dbalsom/martypc
