When the dude is walking across a 3 way 45MPH in each direction street in a low light situation. Then 1 block away was a well lit cross walk. Yeah he gets the horn. Sorry if I did …

It varies from state to state and city to city. Some have the very regulation you are talking about. I have never seen it enforced. In your case if there was no indicator light. Th…

Anyone who can say with certainty what the market is going to do is usually selling you something. Especially, when they trot out a magic number that predicts something. The divisi…

My issues is it is that data 'elsewhere' bit that they want. Even when I pay they want to harvest my data. Most of the time it is to do the opposite of what the main article is tal…

I am becoming more and more convinced that keeping my data and programs on other peoples computers is not a good idea. They can not seem to resist the idea of 'harvesting' informat…

I am not on reddit. But I do read it a lot. I usually spend a couple of years before I make yet another account somewhere. Because most of the time other people have made my point …

Most of that effort to archive games is not IA. It is from 2 other groups who sometimes work with IA if they all are not fighting. Specifically one group is the one going through a…

Remember one of the goals was 'just works' too. As they wanted to move people off win3x. The win3x apps had to work/look the same but pick up some of the nice styling from win9x. S…

It was annoying. The problem they had was the upper left already had a control there. The system menu. In some programs it is still 'there' but hidden. You can see it if you left c…

The problem with most economic models is they all work great. In the moment. Right up until it is 10 seconds later and something changed. Then they don't. However, over time they h…

The way I usually follow it is 1) Is this OK? For example It is only called once in the code in an error path? 2) Did I do something silly? For example, I left in some extra debug …

Plus the OTHER 32k they have saved. Over 30 years that is an extra 50,000. You could save it for 15 and have 37k (7k interest)after 15 years. Or 0. You could save it for 30 and hav…

Would probably depend on the drive. There were utils out there in DOS land that let you format higher than normal. Usually by playing with the sector/track sizes. But it depended o…

COM was not really well designed to be consumed from C++ that is why it felt horrible to you. It was designed for visual basic and Office. If I never see another VARIANT I will be …

MFC was built for a reason. To provide that doc/view/OLE GUI. If you wander too far away from that it becomes well, lets just say, 'interesting' to use. I would many times just inc…

His books on x86 assembly helped me out a bunch too.

Another is eat your own dogfood. If you enforce rules on others, enforce them on yourself. One project I keep an eye on and gave up trying to contribute to has users who berate oth…
