For the graphically oriented, TextMate has had columnar cursor and clipboard operations since 2005, IIRC, and recent versions of Xcode also have a good implementation.

This is a fine thing that can work for some people and not for others: it's really hard to live a decent life on a single (tech!) income in Silicon Valley if you're not already wealthy, and young people may not have enough saved u

The Trump presidency forever cured me of the last vestiges of the idea that government would be capable of recognizing the importance of something like this and authorizing something like an assassination as a remedy. Which is mostly a good

One of the problems is that hashtag usage evolved into a form of signaling for emphasis (#your-slogan-here) instead of a useful way to tag a topic, to the extent that it can read as obnoxious if you do it at all in a serious way. Another is

Sideloading is Android terminology, isn't it? What does that have to do with Apple?

Sure, the lineage of declarative UI is pretty long. I'm aware of Windows resource files and the Mac's resource files that inspired them; there may be earlier antecedents on 8-bit micros. SwiftUI provides a fundamentally different

Thank you for this overview -- the article itself doesn't seem super useful unless you already have this context. I glanced at CLIM, and it's very much still traditional verbose, imperative GUI code. Someone should really take a l

This was one reason I thought programming the classic Mac was great training — the nature of the memory manager, where most data structures were double-indirected pointers and the inner pointer could move at will -— you had to understand po

This is definitely not the Buddhist view, which, clumsily reduced, is that you want to root out the cause of the anger, which is not actually external to you. (i.e. Your buddy doing something didn't make you angry; you chose at some le

I remember being told in 1996 that Java would eventually be faster than C++ thanks to JIT compilation and certain language features (like `final`)... (Edit) Oh, and discovering that AWT was useless for just about anything.

tangentially, your point about meaningful shades/colors breaking the design for non-color-blind people situationally is a great example of the need to always keep accessibility in mind

I know people who were very upset that Mac OS X required login/password. The "personal" part of "personal computer" was important to some people.

Just to answer the original question: that's an example of something Apple handled -- no external AV required.

Most RISCs would fail the "instruction only does one thing" test. ISTR there were instructions substantially more complex than FJCVTZS in the PowerPC ISA. I think it's time for a Mashey CISC vs RISC repost: https:/&#x2F

You are being incredibly naive to think that the people in question are capable of changing their minds on this particular topic at this particular time.

Lack of CD-ROM was a gigantic problem, though. Doesn't matter if you have better hardware if you can't fit all the content. Square moved to PlayStation for specifically this reason.

What would your goal be? I think locking a modern, general-purpose OS to a small number of cores would artificially constrain performance, assuming a reasonable scheduler.

I'm pretty happy with it (on a high-spec PC). I've never seen a great interstitial "hacker" interface in a game. Unless you go full Shenzhen I/O, it has to be simplified into meaninglessness. I wonder if some people
