Retail stores should still be an option.

Yes, of course this is true but the tooling ecosystem still hasn't made great strides over to Linux. Rider does exist but is not open source. As far as I know the debugger is not open source as well.

Bonus points for using the same tooling and languages from then too. 6502 assembly, then a bit of 16 bit x86 assembly, and finally some C with Borland's 1992 tooling.

1. The same thing we do with Raspberry Pi's

2. Retro gaming / retro development, which given the age of something often means C or C++.

3. If things are really broken, e-waste is probably the only option.

Does Mac not ship with X11 anymore?

Yes, but media outlets that go "hysterical" are the ones that get the most views and get talked about most. Nothing we can do about that in a free society, it's just human nature.

Non-support does not necessarily imply non-working. Anyway, QEMU still work just fine.

But ".NET core" is "dead". The latest is .NET 5 or even .NET 6 (bleeding edge).

Wait, why wouldn't you have rate limiting on your API? Providers like Cloudflare offer this although I guess you could roll your own too since our industry loves to reinvent the wheel.

Wow. There's just no straight talk anymore... Why does everyone have to dance around the issue. Just say the facts and this article could have been quite a bit shorter.

Well, hopefully that is not the norm, but it's not like you are limited to a single branch (fork) at a time.

Aren't C projects relatively easy to build? C++ is a little more complicated, so there is more of a push for header only libraries there. I see the problem is probably with external libraries, but that is largely not a huge problem on Linux/Unix. Windows was more of a pain but msys/mingw alleviated most of it.

Federal will end on Monday, Sept 6th, but certain states may have longer term benefits.

Super interesting, but I wonder if there is a historical accurate account of bootstrapping that is well documented. This jumps into ELF pretty quickly but there were older formats like a.out and OMAGIC? before ELF. Is there good documentation on the bootstrapping of x86 BSD or Minix since they are even older than Linux.

True, but the same statement could be made about most software (including perhaps 95% of apps on Android and iOS app stores). Perhaps mobile apps provide some form of return on investment through mobile advertising, although it's probably not much.

Anyway, there are people that are perfectly willing to toil away on their labor of love because it's a hobby for them and they get some form of satisfaction from it all.

Take public transportation sometime. Notice all the devices with cracked screens. Totally "anti-fragile" :). Android devices are no better, but the article is talking about Apple.

Their devices are still fragile though.

It's especially difficult to watch without paying. Over the air (or locast) is about the only option but that only provides highlights or coverage of shorter events. No broadcasting of football.

There was supposed to be a free tier on Peacock but everything I've seen, outside of 2-4 minute clips, requires Peacock Premium.

Depends on the definition of complete: https://old.reddit.com/r/cpp/comments/old0t6/why_does_msvc_b...

Even more amazing on the old interface:

The only problem with .NET is that the best tooling is quite expensive. Visual Studio with ReSharper or JetBrains Rider are both up there in price and MonoDevelop didn't work with .net core last I tried (2 years ago). That kind of leaves you with VSCode or a plain old editor (vim/emacs), but you really don't want to write C# code in a basic editor.

"Of course it runs Doom"

Nice work!

What scenario are you talking about, or what does VS Code have to do with anything?

Did you mean running VS Code on a remote server and forwarding it to the local machine? X11 based forwarding?

Clickbait yes, but it's more than that. It's a momentum/filler piece. NPR's Marketplace ran a short segment on this last week (although I can't find the link), now Bloomberg, coming up MSNBC and CNN(?).

They didn't fix all the warts, D's compile times are just as bad or maybe even worse [0][1].

Flint's water was contaminated and only just recently cleaned up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flint_water_crisis

In reality it's not really like that. Yes different shops are going to be using different C++ features in different ways but they usually share some common "core" of the language.

Cisco Webex is a repeat offender. The experience is much better in Chromium. If I am using Firefox I have to dial in to a meeting using my phone instead of being able to use my USB headset.

They have 2 billion users though, so I doubt they care if they lose a couple percentage.
