Feeling Hot16th June 2025
That's not terrible unless the inside of your house is that hot. Throw on some shorts. ;) A swamp cooler and a fan works well if you don't have AC. We hit over 100 units (F) by late summer. 🧑🚒 |

I would think you'd want functions though to help keep things modular with JSE. |

Learning Java ... I guess13th June 2025
@kuron It's interesting how we've gone from ''programmer''/''cod er'' to ''developer''A ''developer'' can be asked to do anything at any time and the domain is unbounded by the employer. In a sense, they can expec*snip* |

Learning Java ... I guess13th June 2025
The real sad part is like the project above, programmers aren't programming. They're memorizing frameworks at a very small level and writing glue.Sure, it's been the case since we've had libraries but it's been pushed into configurati*snip* |

Learning Java ... I guess ...13th June 2025
I'm just glad to have a shot at a job. My team got killed during post COVID layoffs.Never thought I'd be doing Java but you do what you need to survive and stand on your own two feet I guess. I'm not really scared by the size of Java, a lot *snip* |

Anyone try Forth on your retro machines?12th June 2025
I keep wanting to make time to learn Forth but damn, where is the time these days!?Also available on quite a few 8 bits with some swapping the Basic ROM for Forth. Seems like an excellent fit for the Spectrum. ;) It's cool that it's interactive*snip* |

Supporting Modern File Formats12th June 2025
Hehe ImageMagik has a really bizarre inconsistent nasty interface. It kind of wants to be a programming language without being a programming language. |

Future of Blitz12th June 2025

Steering Behaviors - Level Up Your Movement11th June 2025

Future of Blitz10th June 2025
Hmm I know in BlitzMax I usually just bypass the IDE and use Emacs with some custom Blitz aware package. Mark exposed the compiler so you can call it directly and not have to rely on a specific IDE.Is the other stuff too built in? If they give you a bui*snip* |

Flavoured Pickles10th June 2025
I wonder if it was a proper ''Koolickle''? I accidentally bought some sweet pickles and I usually get kosher dill. These are awful I don't know how people eat this stuff - very gross flavor with a taste of clove or something... |
