A good percentage of Java is because of the cost of replacing it, in the same way COBOL sticks around, it is just too important to break and it still works. Android development is a large part of it too,

I still have wordstar keys muscle memory. In fact, I should add that to the emulator :D

Console and arcade emulation is way beyond my abilities because you are dealing with all those extra chips and timings and shudder Such a shame that Nintendo in particular are hostile to it, we are going

I didn't get to use CP/M much back in the day but the times I did the experience stood out. Our NHS region used a db/os/programming platform called MUMPS and the main system was on a PDP11 but we had an

Oh I didn't know that! I know a lot of Apple folks were big on Pascal for a long time, whereas I mainly knew it as a university thing until Delphi

can figure out when things go wrong. That is key

What are you coding with C? I did a whole bunch of C# early on, even contributed to a Wily book about it, but as soon as I moved over to Linux and Mac I let it dribble out of my brain and would barely

Yeah the home ones have gone from fishing wire and plywood to super high tech, we are finally almost at the point where they are an appliance rather than an automated disappointment machine ;) This was

If it complains a lot then give in and lube it up :) After that, unless it is very dusty, dry, or full of cat hair, shouldn't be needed for a long while. PLA is not bad for picking up moisture but a bunch

Love to see you getting into 3d printing, and that's a great choice! My first experience of 3d printing was 2010 and I met up with a guy in Calgary off a WordPress forum who offered to show me around Calgary.

So it's python for the backoffice and hardware testing stuff too? A thing I love about programming is it means so many different things to different people. My buddy John coded software drivers for things

Hive and Python are a great paring to get yourself programming again because they give you a purpose and goal to aim for. The people I think who struggle most to get back into programming or get into it

I got into the web in 1994 and never left, it has been the majority of my programming ever since :) Even the COBOL and Oracle I did I think prepared me for it when you consider how "batch" oriented

I was just writing about Pascal! I didn't really use it until my friend Colin really advocated for Delphi. He'd learned Pascal at university. Now I am like you, mostly using Python for my own stuff, but

Some serious skills too, I have tried to do far simpler things with WASM and struggled!

Yeah, and learning, and also no risk of smoke coming out

I would be happy and willing to help any worthy projects with programming, content, project/product management, or marketing but right now I have more month than money so I couldn't do a lot of heavy lifting.

Unfortunately the incentives are so much higher for scamming/milking/defrauding Hive than helping it with projects such as yours. It is the usual problem of opensource or community work, we can't choose

The only things that matter as far as brand in crypto are "line go up", next is trust, with third place being technology which we have in bucketloads. That money invested properly would mean

This is amazing and also enraging. I can't understand how this community of otherwise smart people have allowed the rampant abuse and wasteful spending to get so bad.
