Remember when the web was (almost) all static content and all browsers had to do was show it to you? When applications were native? We really need to go back.

The way governments these days use corporations and NGOs to work around constitutional restrictions, I'm sure they're pretty happy leaving the payment processors as-is.

"Don't worry! I'm from the government and I'm here to ~~help~~ identify you to everyone else on the planet." That's no better, and in many ways far worse, than the corpos doing it.…

You can always use a distro that doesn't use systemd or roll your own. Sure you lose the GNOME desktop environment, but if you ask me that's a net positive.

systemd is not monolithic in the same way that a brick wall is not monolithic. Sure it's made up of a bunch of smaller parts, but when you start removing any of them, the whole thi…

Qt?

>I couldn't see a 16-32 bit story. It's like it hit the spot, and stopped growing. And yet WDC (Bill Mensch's company post-Commodore) put out the 65816, a 16-bit expansion of the 6…

Steam's end of service on Windows 7 and 8 is based on CEF, just as it was for XP and Vista. I don't see Google/Chromium dropping Windows 10 support at Microsoft's EOL especially gi…

That's a shame, because there's a lot more to Commodore than just the 64 (even if that _was_ the best microcomputer of all time).

This is the first I'm hearing that Steam's dropping Windows 10 support, got a source on this?

We really do.

How can they just claim the city's been "found" when it's been known about for half a century? All they did (that's relevant to the article) is a recent LIDAR survey of a site they…

HTTP(S)-only _is_ the limit.

Nobody has ever accused Cogent of being reasonable or competent.

Yeah but there's nothing saying that you have to support _every_ platform Unity runs on if you offer some package extending the engine.

And an MFC demo application.

Because you bought a closed-source device by which you surrendered your privacy to whatever the source-controlling company wants.

Any hints on what's next? Smalltalk, perhaps, or HyperCard, or maybe NeXTSTEP Interface Builder?

There are so many quality of life improvements I could make for myself if only Pipes was still around. Nothing I've encountered since has ever matched or beat it.

Nah, in those days everyone was either offering POSIX.1 support or even providing their own custom Unix distribution for their machines, because it was the only way to get US gover…
