When I started using a Mac many years ago, I also could not believe how terrible Finder is. This is software from the "design" company. One of the biggest pitfalls I ran into at the time (and remember from the top of my head) was

Syndicate on MS-DOS is the only game I know of to look good with 16 colors on VGA 640x480. The other one would be Gods by Bitmap Brothers also 16 colors but on 320x200 resolution. Great examples of limitations driving amazing outcomes.

A few decades ago I was diagnosed with hypertension (high blood pressure) and for about the last 15 years I have been tracking my blood pressure and weight. Every morning when I wake up, I weigh myself and take my blood pressure. I write t

Solitiny :) > NOTE: For DosBox users, DosBox doesn’t seem to support AT&T 6300 but the other modes work fine. I'm pretty sure DOSBox supports the Olivetti M24 graphics mode.

What's even worse is that, when you do this on the description of a story or task, everytime it comes up with a slightly different format of how it's going to layout the "enhanced" description.

Anyone working in an organisation where teams are trying to map business logic errors into HTTP status codes? Wasn't Fieldings original dissertation meant as a formalisation of the web? I.e. it had nothing to do with APIs until later,

I scanned through it and settled on Design H as well, birds and buildings. One thing I started to notice while looking over the design that I had a strong preference for the number to be in the corners. The last two one are "portrait&q

> The problem is most people don’t realize how short disc media’s lifespan is. I have audio CDs from 1990 that play just fine and look to be in tip-top condition. Not so much CDs I have burned in the 2000s, they seem to fade, clearly a d

Does anyone remember ToolBook? I spend a couple of years from the mid to late 90s working with this daily, crossing from Windows 3.11 into Windows 95/98. It's a bit Visual Basic-esque, as a matter of fact, Paul Allen was a founder

Not super familiar with Azure, but didn't they already have Cosmos DB? Or is that just MongoDB under the hood?

I think GP is referring to EGA which also used address 0xA0000 but you had to program it in it a planer mode of 16 colors out of a palette of 64. VGA provided backward compatibility with this but introduced the 256 color modes with mode 13h

It's certainly the most rudimentary. Small optimisation on the inner-loop would be to pre-calculate the scanline offset before going into the pixel loop: int s = y*screenRect.w; for (int x = 0; x < screenRect.w; x++)

I wouldn't work at Google either. If you can't trust the people you have hired to hire people then you shouldn't have hired them.
