I highly doubt it, Windows is known for its stellar backward compatibility. Code signing means a lot of older software, that is still in use, would not be able to install or run. T…

Check left menu for more details. Looks like a cool project. We get a computer with VGA output, FDD and RS232 ports.

- You can still learn from the best of the best, its called books, try to read at least one per month. - Conferences, not my thing, but if you are new, you may learn a trick or two…

Blogs and small sites still show up when you look for obscure contents like "RS232 DTR line". So far when I had a very specific question related to hardware or software I could fin…

My bet would be to write a small program using your target language. With ChatGPT this is extremely easy as you will get a list of recommended libraries to use. Try to choose an ap…

Ad Scala - it depends if you already knew a JVM based language. If you are coming from Java you will have a head start: use Maven/Gradle instead of SBT, you will already know IJ, y…

My attempt to use 8bit ISA graphics with Arduino Mega. The real goal is to use this with either 6502 (extra register will be needed to keep segment part of the address) or with Z18…

Let's hope it won't be Oracle. ehm... jokes aside. I think a more reasonable way is to setup a foundation, composed of biggest players in tech, also companies like Google, Meta, Mi…

This is not my domain so my knowledge is limited, but I wonder if the chip designers have some sort of a standard library of ready to use components. Do you have to design e.g. ALU…

I am a bit concerned here. I wonder how much time will pass before someone decide to use it to hack a computer?

Maybe there were in the past, currently there is entire industry there to help you game the system. - Cracking the coding interview. - Elements of programming interviews in Java|Py…

Indeed you are right, there is syntax highlighting. Also my last comment sounds a bit harsh. That wasn't my intention. It is a great project.

When you dig into the code you can see that the author did the bare minimum to have a nice demo. For example only 2 functions are supported: MsgBox and InputBox: https://github.com…

I am looking for a new position right now. I have a few open "processes" that are 2 months+ old and I still don't get any offer/rejection. This is a bit exhausting at this point, a…

Scheme is a small LISP written in C. It is smaller and simpler than Clojure. Common LISP is much more advanced if you find Scheme limited. Erlang and Smalltalk are both interesting…

You may always put an "innocent" looking file into the output binary that states who is the actual authors. Say you may create AUTHORS file in your repo, but store a SHA512 of that…

Great that JavaFX is not dead yet. I still use it for hobby projects e.g. apps that communicate with Arduino or MIFARE card readers via serial ports. Ad 2024 the framework is serio…

The fun was there until I got to the steganography challenge. I still avoid steganography during CTFs...

I think they selling point is that you do not have to solder. Soldering is not for everyone: you need expensive equipment, soldering in an appartment without proper ventilation is …

I only want to add that you need resistors with slightly ticker leads. Most of the cheap resistors have either too soft leads or too thin and they do not provide a good contact wit…

Gates is still a stakeholder in Microsoft. I think this piece is not independent of what Microsoft is doing right now.

This assumes that you will have only a single model. I expected at least one model per race (elves, dwarfs...) x adversity (friend, enemy, neutral) x some psychological models (e.g…
