If it's still running I wonder what they are going to do about the year 2038.

Make c5 great again <3

Enjoy paying for your yearly Adobe subscription as your shrink wrap software won’t work.

Ahhh Arstechnica, I wonder if the technical article is by Dan Goodin. (It is)

I enjoyed his C Programming books for dummies series.

Internet streamers will need to know basic math unless they are clowns.

Depends on the sport. I don’t think the Olympic equestrian competitors would be dirt poor.

Yes it is cheaper and who will steal or rob a student of pencil and paper compared to a iPad also pencil and paper doesn’t require age verification.

it's easier for people to use slurs then to contribute to the source and make it better.

haha what a fun site :D. Two dance sections to the rave site, will you be adding a Psytrance section?

If only Amiga assembler books hit those type of numbers.

Are you thinking of getting in to NeXTSTEP 3.3/OpenStep 4.2?

Yes I have both copies, prefer the ANSI C second edition my self. I brought another second hand C programming book and when I was working through the exercises in the mid 2000s the GNU C compiler kept issuing warnings as the code used gets() to read strings. :D

If you make 20 billion and the fine is 0.2 billion…. I don’t think they care about their users mental health.

Try switching to desktop mode

Www.neocities.org is waiting. It’s a small fun site to practice with :)

So does this mean bool true = 3 or should bool true = 5?

This will bloat the code a bit.

Ahhh Devs:system-configuration or SYS:system-configuration at 232 bytes. I remember being 11 and trying to make my own compilation disks and trying to figure out what file kept the system prefs on my A500. Don’t forget to copy the RAM: handler from L: if you wanted to use RAM:

  I used Kindwords to make my first compilation disks until I discovered Diskmaster 1.3 and then later on Diskmaster 1.3 and shell commands. 

  This is a nice pointer collection, I used to enjoy putting in compilation disks and seeing the 4 system colours and the 4 mouse sprite colours. I also remember the compilation disks that used “rainbow” or “stripes” which changed the background or text colour on each scanline.


  Bonus points for the kiwi pointer (personal NZ bias).

I thought you had to use your real name when posting on USENET back in the day before spoofing.

Was contracted to a New Zealand government department and all the Edge browsers had AdBlock installed by default. I guess the New Zealand government that I worked for is a terrorist organisation. The department that I worked for did take other peoples money though. (Won't give any more information than that).

AutoCAD R12 here I come

Would have been good if the license doesn't allow training in commercial LLMs :/

I wonder if Retro washing machines and refrigerators (non-IOT) will go up in price because of this?

There were a lot of global crews during c64 days and a few crews on the Amiga. In New Zealand on the Amiga a lot of the warez and compilations had importros on them. So was a small coding scene here but not as big as Europe or during C64 days.

You are correct with fast followers: Google to Alta vista, Apple to Nokia.

I’m still waiting for Patrick Rothfuss to finish his third book as well in the kingkiller chronicles.

When you couldn’t afford a ps1 or your DOS pc was shit. https://16colo.rs/pack/fire-43/AVG-LARA.ANS

Hmm people will go back to using lingerie catalogs or start using LLM prompts?

Are you 18 or older?

You don’t get that notification show up when you buy alcohol or cigarettes at a shop, would have been easier being a minor buying beer. The porn companies know what they are doing or they would create a adults robots.txt and published a RFC. Hope they won’t ask for age verification for the shroomery

Yeah. Can’t watch king of the streets or some video game trailers.

I would like to see a advertisement for “The C Programming Language - ANSI edition”. Yes I have a copy but would like to see it advertised on YouTube. Wish my copy was signed :/
