I'll tell you what is NOT hot! I have Phonak Audeos paired over bluetooth with my iPhone. A few years prior, I used to have Oticon, also paired with my iPhone. With the Oticon, if I made a cellphone call, the iPhone would use the defa

I learned to program in VAX Pascal, and didn't learn VAX C until later. I always found Pascal more intuitive, especially for string handling than C, and combined with the VAX/VMS System library and Runtime Libraries was able to b

In addition to your points, I can't figure out the licensing - they state that CheerpX is a commercial product, but I am unable to find any information about paid or free usage tiers... Or maybe I just didn't dig deep enough...

Yes, and also they are not HP servers, they are HPE. HP split off the server division into HPE Hewlett Packard Enterprise some years ago. I have a very high regard for HPE products, not so much for HP products...

It does sound amateurish eh? I do most of my business logic inside Microsoft SQL Server Stored Procedure, and MS SQL just takes care of date pretty well. But then, come to think of it, you don't need to use SQL to have good date logic.

I would say Yes and No. I think Effective C++ was one of the first books to use this name, but now there is a publisher who uses "Effective xxxxx" in a series: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08R2PKL9M?binding=pap

I'm somewhat bemused that your school ran the toy ISO Pascal on a VAX, because VMS came with its own version of Pascal! VAX/VMS Pascal had some cool language extensions that made it extremely suited and extremely popular for VAX&

A good example of how a well chosen title can have an effect on HN. I've never heard of "Fyrox" so "Fyrox Engine" didn't trigger my attention at all. However I'll (almost) always click on a title that has

The title should probably include the date, 2020. It is a well written paper: I enjoyed reading it and learned a lot from it. Well done to the authors! A relevant link for the current status of OpenBSD on RISC-V would be: https:/&#x2F

William of Ockham (of Ockham's Razor fame), and an important advocate of Nominalism, died in 1347. Surely you're not suggesting that the Medieval Period ended then?

I agree. My 80 yo mother in law has stopped using her Apple TV because she is simply unable (or perhaps unwilling) to learn how to use the remote and how to navigate the Apple TV menus. I'm baffled as the Apple TV UI seems intuitive t

I agree, until the early 80s, while most computer owners I knew in NZ had a ZX81, Spectrum, Vic20 or C64, but there were a few people I knew who had an Australian made TRS80 clone called the Dick Smith System 80 - https://www.cla

In the long term, you are probably quite correct. In the short term though, the sea-walls give an impression of safety and protection, allowing the owners to sell their properties at great profit before the values collapse. Here in New Zea

In the book it described Paul feeling almost unbearable pain, almost to the point where he was pushed too far, but the Priestess turned off the gom-jabbar just in time. Wincing was the last of Pauls problems at that moment... Paul was not

You are entirely correct in what you say, and if this was just a virus that most people get sick then recover from, then I'd agree with the point you are making. But there are reports of lingering after-affects that suggest that many
