Re:Decompiler Explorer on Saturday September 05, 2026 @09:57PM (#49582598)
That’s neat, been doing similar in VB6. Wrote a semi vb decompiler 15 years ago which i released the source for, great for learning. Now with AI to help code improvements expanded from VB1 to VB6, .net, twinbasic, quickbasic. Details https://vbsourcecoderecovery.com Did reach out to the decompiler explorer site too but never heard back
This bothers me big time. One my forums got hit by 200k to 280k requests over a 15 minute interval multiple days. I ended up just blocking the whole range /16
Re:Google's advise to use abstraction to improve function on Wednesday January 29, 2025 @02:10PM (#42869634)
Agreed more readable, instead of searching/scanning. That's an issue I have with larger projects, more files and classes to jump to for not any gain really.

Check out auctions.ipv4.global website you can sell your /24's or buy others. I have used them before successfully.
It is probably a mixture of the following: is it anticompetitive, ongoing support, security. I think it is mainly anticompetitive issue.

Windows has been called many times for bundling software since it hurts other software companies. Which leads to government regulation. It is sad since I think probably the windows solution could be better in some cases with the native support.

I do for several large projects. But, I do not run IIS. Use Apache instead. I have webservers running windows server, and databases servers on centos.

Main reasons familiarity started as a windows application developer, the gui in my case window explorer feels easier for the tasks that I need do.

I have setup webservers on linux as well, Just I work faster in windows can fix things easier then having to google with linux when things go wrong. I prefer the windows file permissions

I just built a rough gopher server for createaforum.com just for fun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nws5oVpPY_g

Yes, I received at least of one theme as well. Very tricky since it is a real invoice from paypal.
