Ada is measured to have 9 times less bugs in average
I use Yandex search every day and did not notice any problem in search. So far I can only see automated e-mail fetcher stopped. So I check non-Yandex inboxes manually until they fix.
I want Windows/KDE/GNOME whatever, to just copy Mac OS X, not the other way
IIRC SUA required recompilation. Putting the motto "Windows NT is a UNIX" to life was challenging, and introduction of incompatible SUA added multiple versions maintenance to the challenge.
SFU ended in XP/2003. Vista/2008 had SUA
Some assumptions of holographic principle either do not match with standard model of cosmology or predict yet another consequences. This model acknowledges expansion of the Universe, observed via Hubble in 1990s and…
Book 386 is a ready notebook. It mainly targets gaming, so it has speaker, OPL3 sound and MIDI/GamePart port. But also ISA as yet another "port" on its outer side.
Perl was popular
I recently found "free" version of Lossless Scaling on GitHub. The release installer is definitely malware. It took GitHub 3 days to shutdown malware distribution. Category of my ticket was malware report, not copyright…
I presume this Xcode 27.1 beta will not want to launch on our Mavericks Forever, the last Mac OS we actually like and use.
Developers should know that built-in stack is something like arena, aka dynamic region. And alloca() or VLA is using built-in stack as arena. If neither alloca() nor VLA is available, then additional arena can do the…
That loosely resembles research about economic impact of adopting PC. Which was not as great as could be imagined. Increased competition sets prices lower, increased data flows are not compatible with manual labour.…
It became a good tradition to release version of software with my favorite number in such a way everybody will hate it. Delphi 8, Windows 8
Will you happily pay for Ada IDE? Another part of your proposal is already true. Ada has free compiler and libraries. Paid IDE is all that remains, that's how things work, right?
Delphi.NET was so much central project that 8 only supported .NET. Nothing else was ever needed as it seemed. Delphi.NET was 8, 2005, 2006 and 2007, then dropped. It was hosted in common RAD IDE and language was close…
Pascal was comparably clean, but Delphi library is quite messy. SysUtils is about local time, exceptions, floating number formatting and OS error handling. SyncObjs are about synchronization which is very good. But…
Lazarus does not support BPL. Android and iOS support are under question. Free Pascal devs for many years did not look into Ada, and looked into C++ more, and that made Free Pascal ugly. Delphi did not look into Ada…
I recall I was using Dropbox on Windows 2003 and Mac OS X 10.4. I was student and actively writing Office documents, AutoCAD, NanoCAD, LabVIEW, plenty of cryptic formats. Eventually Dropbox stopped working on Mac OS X…
There are retrocommunity sites. DOS, OS/2 (eComStation, ArcaOS), Amiga (Apollo Vampire), Mavericks Forever. Amiga is quite alive community. If I am to write game, I consider this platform. Steam game will be lost in…
> The whole system runs on a low-cost development board (Xilinx Spartan-3 by Digilent, with 1 MB of static RAM) If somebody wants their FPGA work to be available, they better choose MiSTer FPGA from the beginning.…

Steam has some backup feature. I do backups of my games. Compressed to slow HDD dedicated to backups. Faster to install than downloading again from network. Don't know though how much will that help
I have not seen good web apps like native apps on Mac OS X of period let's say up to Mavericks. Web apps often forced single rectangle. I can group my chats in iChat and Adium into different windows as I want, but…
Where have you seen Amiga in "all places" of ex-USSR? Amiga is quite unknown computer here. Hard to find anyone aware of Amiga at all. OS/2 and Classic Mac awareness is not that rare. Many people knowing the difference…
That's something many did not have. 85% sales were Amiga 500 and not upgradeable. IIUC possible to put Motorola 68060, but AGA required full replacement. And it remained something unseen. Something too late to crave for…
