Nearby Glasses on Play Store does this (not affiliated, I did a simple search before writing an app myself)

Agreed. It's still my favorite Windows version.

I left this scene many years ago. The article brought back memories and curiosity. What does today's scene look like?

Not sure if sarcasm, but it's not true. For example, high performance software is still built the 80s way.

Not really. We would have to downsize our life. I'll have to explain it to the wife: "well, you see, we cant live in this house anymore because AI in Notepad was just too much". I'…

Your solution for us to all agree to do the same thing is not realistic for the same reason that recycling doesn't really work, why we have a myriad of programming languages and si…

That's why we have text editors, markdown viewers, image viewers, etc. You were never able to "click a link" in Notepad in the past. Mixing responsibilities brings with it lots of …

You were homeless and didn't have a choice, so now obviously you're qualified to give assurances that essentially, "it is unlikely that your family will starve", right? /s And if y…

I personally found the text hard to read (both because of the typeface and the small size), the animations distracting during scrolling (while I'm trying to skim the content), and …

Mostly gamedev books: * Blood, Sweat and Pixels * Press Reset * Play Nice * Masters of Doom * Color & Light * Video Game Art * 2d Graphics Programming for Games (in progress)

I speak Russian and some Bulgarian as third/forth languages, and while I agree that Russian is more difficult, I wouldn't say Bulgarian is "extremely easy" in comparison. It's mayb…

Several of my colleagues were laid off. We all worked on the same project. I reviewed their code and was in meetings with them daily, so I know what their performance was like. The…
