It's basically a micro Unix implementation aimed at old and resource constrained systems. I've been following it for a few years. The documentation is terrible, there are hardy any…

Frankly, if you think that, you're not exactly a power user of office suites. Apple apps are a complete joke in the professional world.

The statement that Apple has been supporting businesses for decades is just the most self-serving bunch of crap. You can tell how thin this is by the way they push local ads on Map…

I unexpectedly liked this. I thought the recommendations were actually useful.

Wow, that is one ugly vehicle. It looks like it's been in an accident.

JetBrains does a great job with this by actually rewarding users who report bugs with free licenses and such.

Delusional.

They're still using CVS?

Why are the words 'Computer Vision' not above the fold on the front page? How am I supposed to know that CV stands for Computer Vision rather than Curriculum Vitae?

I've seen a bunch of companies do this. The problem is always that it isn't Excel. This means usually things like XLWings, Excel-DNA, etc. are actually more useful.

There probably _is_ something in the port compressed up against the back - try scraping around inside with a non-conductive pointy thing.

There has been several articles about this man recently. I come away from them wanting to help him financially. I feel if you're going to publish an article about him, and make mon…

The only thing that might make Apple improve their documentation is if there was evidence that people started actually abandoning Apple's platforms. Currently it seems there is a n…

Bizarre, pretty misleading pages about electro-magnetic radiation were a huge turn-off.

On the original ARM2 this design made a lot of sense because if you understood how the instruction timing worked, you could essentially perform as well as a specialized blitter. I …

Great book: computer architecture a quantitative approach

You're making a mistake many engineers make in thinking that getting a startup off the ground is all about engineering. Frankly, engineering is often the easy part, and I say that …

These examples actually were more obscure than the usual list.

When a blog about a collaboration tool devolves into a formal state machine definition and blocks of lisp syntax, I have my doubts about the project's ability to communicate with p…

Yes, the communications primitives line up with event synchronizations and the select with the external choice operator, but Go doesn't implement the process operators parallel, se…

This is realised in a real language as occam. I've never understood why so few languages have a par construct, it's much more natural than asynchronous launching.

I've had a good experience running Windows 10 on Azure DevLabs VMs accessed via Remote Desktop from Mac and PC. Even with the VMs running in Ireland (I'm in London), they're very s…

Having the buck stop with you. With nowhere else to turn, you have to step up pretty fast. It forces you to own your decisions and not run to more senior people to help with your p…

It's a lot more than 10 rashers. It's about 1kg or 2lbs of bacon (around 100 rashers). Completely nuts to eat that much, if nothing else, the amount of salt consumed would be enorm…
