I remember when 8-bit machines ruled the Earth, IOS was a Cisco thing, and e-mail bounced around via dial-up, back before the first AI winter.
I'm now enjoying the new AI spring and doing all sorts of fun stuff.

That is true. I've been fooling around with Hy (hylang.org) for a fairly long time because it's nicer than Clojure for doing glue, and that has made me wonder how fast some things would go i…
comment
Because we need faster glue? :)

I was kind of hoping for a Pepe Le Pew[1] cartoon, at the very least. :) [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepé_Le_Pew …

I'm sorry, but as an occasional iOS developer, and seeing the amount of Portuguese users you guys have on Reddit, I find it hard to take that at face value. Is it the localised blurb you need? Cr…
comment
Hmm. Still can't see it in the Portuguese iOS App Store. This sort of thing happens time and again when someone fails to click the right options when publishing an app (typically in the US) :)

That is how things work on a Mac.

Or gogs, which is actually simpler to manage.
comment
Yeah. I've been using it on and off for a while, but git works fine locally, so it was mostly for private bug tracking.

Wow, this takes me back. Like someone else posted here, to around 2007 or so, which is when it was last updated. Good to have this, although most of what I get these days (work-wise) is HTML-formatted…

Back when I worked at a networking reseller, I recall arriving to the office at 9(ish) in Portugal and having the damnedest time trying to get my Spanish colleagues on the phone throughout the day - t…

It was the cost/performance ratio, not of the CPU itself, but of the entire thing, including software. Sun sold highly performing, but extremely overpriced hardware that rode in on the hype it bu…

When I saw RISCV mentioned as an alternative, I had to check the date twice to make sure it wasn't an April Fools'. I understand the concerns and all, but wish the alternatives were a little…

The strangest hit for me was this bit of C#: this.IsEvil = isEvil;
screen.Souls.Add(new Soul(screen, new Vector2(position.X+texture.Width/2-Global.Textures["soul&qu…

Loved it. Regardless of the yearly madness that pervades tech circles on this date, it was cute (perchance whimsical), well conceived, and executed with a lot of polish. Kudos.
comment
To his credit, these were usually on his/dev branch, and there were copious comments and docs. On the other hand, a lot of this was on a large PHP codebase, so the result soon became the stuff of…

I preserved for posterity a colleague's unique commit style: https://gist.github.com/rcarmo/c671555169abbae83a1a …

FYI, http://aka.ms/uowterms points to Canonical's site. Pretty excited about this, given that I've been using Cygwin for ages and always found it a pain to hit those edge ca…

Nice reading. Love the style. There was a typo (wok-flow) that I stared at a bit to make sure it wasn't intentional, though. :)
comment
Nice to see this again! I caught one of the earlier postings and lost track of it over time. Are there any more examples available? Folk using it in production?
comment
I was gifted a combo bedside lamp/alarm clock that lights up gradually a little before and starts chiming (in a variety of "natural" sounds) at the set time. Thought it was pretty usele…
comment
Actually, these are pretty idiomatic and understandable. List comprehensions (and inline generators, which you get by using parenthesis) make it trivial to handle fairly complex sequence processing, a…

Neat, but I'm not sure how much better it is over my current solution (I run Lubuntu on a C720 with an upgraded SSD, and use cros-haswell-modules.sh every now and then to rebuild the touchpad ke…

I've been running an ODROID-U2 for three years[1] now, and can't say I've had any real problems - still running Ubuntu 14.04 wonderfully. What was the model you got? [1]: http:/&#…

This. It just works (mostly), although be prepared to put up with some weirdness if you have custom fields and pixelated avatars.
