Same! Also built external peripherals for my ZX81.
Like it! After drinking the ale, the FORTH person says "bye".
Then a FORTH person walks into the same bar... "cold temperature ale drink" to which the bartender replies "go you here". The janitor smiles as no sweeping required on a clean stack.
It's interesting that today Radio China International is everywhere on shortwave.
Totally agree. Thought about this myself, as a way of having true community radio. A simple hobby broadcast license of low cost might be pooled to cover copyright music only to prevent the types raids of seen on pirate…
You covered all the points I was going to make. As part of the pre-internet generation that grew up with radio and a ham radio operator since my school years this is second nature and common sense to me. It is…
I do some personal work in MacOS 9 on a MacBook Pismo and use the standard Platinum sounds at a low sound level. I personally find the little click and chirp soundtrack quite useful as audio feedback. Though if I were…
I find Bertrand Meyer's Effiel System very compelling. The design by contract methodology is baked into the language. I did try a DBC library [1] for Python but eventually gave up trying to build it into my work. Not…
I am old. And fashioned. "a b * c +" rules! :-)
Have you heard of PickOS [0]? Maybe similar to what you are describing. I admit I just read the first couple of paragraphs of the article and thought, yeah - PickOS vibes. [0]…
For you maybe, otherwise a very broad sweeping statement.
I spent a fair bit of my career in that sort of environment writing embedded software on MSDOS. Have fond memories of that but I wonder if I re-created that today would I be able to mentally cope? Might be the…
To be fair I think MacOS classic (i.e. MacOS 9 et.al) was well thought out and usable IMHO.
There can only be one OS/2 :-)
In the US more than likely. In the UK I'm not so sure (can't speak to Switzerland) as there is a healthy community radio scene who may have some democratic influence. There are mutterings of trying to close UK FM…
I am a fan of Joe Editor and the jstar "mode". Works well for me in SSH/Terminal sessions and where I need a bit more than nano. Also puts me left field of the vim vs emacs debate. :-)
Thank you for this. It lives! I will try these forks out. Don't you just love open source!
They did yes, after quite a few funding campaigns targeted at their users. I felt quite bitter about that and I fell for the hype myself.
I used, and liked, the predecessor called Revolution which was closer to the original HyperCard ethos. They are now stuffing so much into LiveCode it feels lost in itself. As a company I find them all over the place…
Ah, yes. I see that now. Thank you.
I have not heard that before. My somewhat litteral spectrum disorder brain implies the bridge is burnt before it is crossed. Common ones I hear are "I'll cross that bridge when I come to it" - to delay an action or…
I have been waiting for someone to re-invent PickOS [1] but with a PG heart and a multiuser shell with PL/pgSQL as first class CLI language or some modern form of Pick/BASIC :-) [1]…
Give it time my friend. Give it time. Now, if the headline is that Voyager 1 has been mysteriously upgraded and is transmitting a 5TW signal and appears to be heading back, then do please do the 'aliens' thing.
I'd have called it COBWEB :-) I think there was also COBOLSCRIPT (sp) a few years ago, which, IIRC was a COBOL -> JS converter.
I don't remember the name of the MSDOS shareware vendor, but they had a monthly catalogue which was sent out by post. Each item had a pretty good description and I'd spent hours reading through the catalogue trying to…
