I've been watching those videos after seeing this, it's interesting to see such an obscure system these days, most of the hardware from that era is usually well documented but I've never heard of this system before now
I don't play many modern games. Not really interested in the latest consoles and my graphics card in the PC is around 8 years old. It seems a lot of games now require a large time investment and not for causal gamers.…

Can't say that outside of HN i've come across a link to anything about Mastodon so not sure it's won much.
Only used discourse in a limited way but it lacks the searchability of the old forums. I can't imagine how much useful information has been lost when some of these sites have shut down. Discussions on a well run forum…
I've released software which has been pirated, i'm sure that's a common thing that many on this site have experienced. Photography is a hobby of mine. I don't watermark any photos I post online but this is essentially…
SUBQ also seems to be missing. Interesting project and it may be a useful tool for learning M68K assembler for a beginner, but as an editor or simulator it seems very limited at the moment. Always nice to see some new…
Anecdotal for me, before the pandemic I was working in an open office and there was times that it was not a good environment when you need to focus, working from home work a bit improvement for me and still enjoying it…
I started working around 29 years ago, pay was not great as it was a very small company and my first job out of University. I was writing assembly code for a fire alarm interface system. Code was assembled using a DOS…
I don't know if it's a common feature or just part of the Samsung Keyboard app, but when the phone is rotated it does seperate they keyboard quite nicely so you can access each half with your thumbs. Space in the middle…
I've run a forum and worked on a couple of others. First one was for lactose intolerance when there was very little information available. Others were technical sites. In that case more information became easily…
There are still many micro controllers, especially memory constrained or less common devices, that there isn't an option beyond C for them. C++ is sometimes an option but even then it can sometimes be a cut-down version…
I have a MSDN subscription and one of my colleges wanted a Japanese Windows 10 ISO to track down a particular bug. While I had to login to get the link to the ISO, once I had that link there doesn't seem to be any…
There's also this one: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFhc0MFC8MiCDOh3cGFji...
I think I designed my first website using HoTMetaL. The WYSIWYG interface was basic but worked but once you hit the limitations of it then at least you could edit the HTML directly.
The Last Starfighter game from the movie, always remember watching that movie and wishing it was possible to play the game. Basic by any 3d space game standard now but had a nice style and looked fun.
On an old TV I have it can take at least 5 seconds before it starts counting down. I've just assumed it was a badly maintained app. Have 3 smart Tvs and YouTube seems to behave different on all of them. May have to look…
Most business software can be installed by the network admins, software that can't doesn't matter for a lot of these companies and just won't be used. Even in my smaller but rapidly growing company they are doing more…
wordI think it can be hard to recommend a particular codebase, well written code can be good to read but if you want to become better at a language or problem domain then sometimes reading badly written code may be a…
I've always worked in small companies and been responsible for getting the work done, as a solo developer in a lot of cases here was nobody to blame if things went wrong. In a larger company now but it's still a smaller…
You could do that but if you want to support a lot of different microcontrollers which may all have different implementations, separating the code into a different file makes more sense. Even if you add ifdef statements…
I've never had an issue getting in touch with a human on Amazon. On the contact us page there's even an option for them to call you. Enter your phone number and they usually call in under a minute. This option is…
In the late 90s I was involved in replacing a software for a financial system for a company that was written in a basic of all languages. It was complex and had almost no documentation. All knowledge of the system was…
I know the main issue with Windows here on HN is usually around the telemetry that Microsoft collects but I don't have an issue with that. Windows 10 for me has been a rock solid OS for years. I think I've had 2…
Back around 1999 I worked for a company and one of the jobs we had was to replace a financial data entry system which was written in BASIC and run on an aging mini comupter. Access to it was done via a terminal and it…
