Personally I quite like Pyhton 3, but the original comparison was flawed simply because with Fortran 77 you can just take your 30-40 years code recompile it with a new compiler and in 99% of cases wil…

> A lot of people still program in Fortran 77 That's because you can compile Fortran 77 with a modern Fortran compiler and link the old code into your new one without a lot of work. On the oth…

Use a cache plugin or migrate to a static site (works really well for blogs).

Have you tried to use DosBox ? I was able to run DOS era games and applications just fine on Windows 7/8.1/10 with DosBox.

Probably because some modern CS programs use Python for their intro courses and Java for the advanced ones.

Hopefully the compilation time will be drastically reduced in C++17 with the addition of modules to the language. Obviously, this won't be of much help if you work with an old codebase or old lib…

Not exactly what you've asked for, but you can use Vim in Emacs (see spacemacs or evil mode) and have org-mode and everything.

The good part about using an open source editor is that you can disable (and know about them) these packages if you don't want to be tracked.

How is Guile Windows support ?

I read "A Tour of C++" and I found the book terse and the information too condensed. I honestly doubt that a programmer that doesn't know C++ could learn C++ from this book.

The real question is, given how much work is involved in implementing a CAD system, how can a person/business make money from an open source CAD ?

While I don't 100% agree with how Casey codes I wouldn't get as far as saying that The HH code is just plain bad, dangerous . He defined a problem space (implement a game like in the 90…

All it matters is the actual time spent coding, 200+ hours of coding is well reflected in the actual code size and game development.

You are as wrong as you could get, the Handmade Hero project has about 200 hours and not 200 days as in 200 working days. Everything is coded live and recorded, so for 200 hours of work he is doing qu…

What I find a bit disappointing is that this won't be a remake in the sense of writing the code in modern C99/C11, but rather a copy/paste with comments of the original code according t…

I know you can use the simulator to test, but I prefer to test directly on the device and when you need to wait ~1 minute per build it is a bit annoying. I used Corona SDK for a small 2D game two year…

LÖVE is free, open source, runs on desktop and mobile, local builds and so on. Also, it is based on SDL2 so, if you know C, you can modify the code. That being said, Corona SDK is probably more mature…

You can pretty much learn the language in 1 - 2 days if you are an experienced programmer. Try the LUA website, they have some links to good tutorials.

NDK is only for Android (as in a C++ toolchain for Android, the toolchain runs on Windows, Linux and Mac but the resulting executables are meant for Android) ... what do you mean with Win64 in this co…
