I couldn't be more grateful to my public school and my teacher for teaching us Logo in computer class on 486s.

For many of us, it was our first encounter with programming.

Add some color blind option, please.

I cannot distinguish the two reds/browns/greens or whatever hehe.

Impressive!

I spent many many hours in UO when I was young.

It was so great playing in some shards with hundreds of real persons.

Re:KDE is now my favorite desktop on Thursday September 18, 2025 @01:21PM (#45292372)
I've been using it daily since I installed Corel Linux, which included KDE 1.

Even during the difficult transition from KDE 3 to KDE 4.

I really like it. Complete customization and control.

A few months ago, I added some basic features to Gwenview; for the first time, I was able to give back to the community.

I followed the tutorials from https://github.com/thalesrDev/godot-raycast-car-tutorial to learn a bit how to create an arcade racing game in Godot.

I was fascinated by AngeTheGreat https://github.com/ange-yaghi/engine-sim simulator

So many hours training a necromancer.

Really nice game.

Re:Postgres WASM on Monday October 03, 2022 @12:05PM (#33069400)
Agree, it is much slower.

I would be interesting to see a comparison between a full recompiled version running on top of a wasm runtime vs some container solution but seems they found a lot of problems recompiling it.

Re:Postgres WASM on Monday October 03, 2022 @11:08AM (#33068535)
Great! Really impressive.

It seems that WASM could be an alternative container solution.

This approach is like an intermediate step before recompiling it to wasm.

Try NetBeans, works quite well for remote projects using SSH.

Also found vscode + remote SSH very useful, as others users recommended.

Aren't they providing NIC with hardware timestamp? That's bad.
