March 15th. I would expect a completely different view outside, but it is what it is. Snow. Again. Same applies to this blog. It meant to be a vehicle for my revival as an active programmer and coder, whereas… Silence. Again. Luckily it is not so bad . The fact that I write so rarely […]
Would you believe back in 90s that your Netscape browser may be capable of, yeah, running a future revision of your beloved AmigaOS? Netscape is not with us anymore, but take a look here anyway: http://home.datacomm.ch/mrupp/TAWS/WB.html http://www.taws.ch/WB.html
I’ve been using GNU/Linux as my primary OS of choice for 12 years now. In the beginning it was Slackware, then Debian for a short period of time. Next came its mutation – Ubuntu, that lasted for few years. After the infamous Gnome revolution, like “hordes” of other Ubuntu users, I’ve migrated to Linux Mint. […]
I cannot say I follow all the things that have been happening in the Amiga and post-Amiga world in the last years. Time is the most limited resource we have, indeed. Thanks to the Old School Game Blog however, I learn about Icaros, an amazing AROS distribution. Some time ago I installed Icaros v1.4.5 on top […]
It’s been a while since I made last note here. Despite plans and promises I’ve been making to myself, I failed again. Making a progress on coding (a general term, isn’t it?) and writing about it, is something I understand as crucial for self-development as an engineer. And what about that? Rather not much lately… […]
Lambda is a vicious horse. It is very hard to keep riding. Time after time I’ve been suddenly bucked off by knottiness of its constructions and complexity. I feel like not moving forward at all… After I went through several sections of pure, systematic theory in great “Learn You a Haskell”, I switched to something […]
Few months ago I was searching for Amiga e-books on the Amazon. One of the search hits was “The Future Was Here (Platform Studies)“. It did sound pleasant to my ears. I decided to get a sample. And immediately I got a message that due to customers complaints, it was withdrawn from the catalogue. Luckily […]
This is pretty interesting that one of the hobbies and no-work-related activities I’ve been able to find some time recently for is… Haskell. Don’t know if this is a constant trend yet, but it looks like I found a new Python. Not in a technical sense of course. This is just the same vibe and […]
The previous post was about a free book on Scala language. Book that introduces Scala and its ecosystem to an impatient person. I have made few attempts to make myself familiar with that language, but… Java language is something I intentionally left behind some time ago. I am no longer a Java developer and won’t […]
If you are interested in Scala, and you’re impatient (who is not these days…) this could be something you’ve been looking for: http://typesafe.com/resources/book/scala-for-the-impatient I haven’t had a chance yet to go through it anything more than briefly, but the book looks very promising. “Scala for the Impatient” concentrates on Scala itself and how to get […]
