Big IT upgrade shenanigans at Mrs’ work. Summary: “The presentations were lies, the test site are morons who didn’t test anything but said it was all fine, functions don’t work, half work or are simply not there, everything is on fire, and everyone is very, very cross.”
Been over and over this. Implemented the HoH sort function from the Z80, but I think there's edge cases where it doesn't work? I'm going to have to use computer science.
The state of Labour with this. “Labour has no plans for a youth mobility scheme. We have already suggested some tangible ways that we would look to improve the relationship and deliver for British businesses and consumers, including seeking a veterinary agreement to tackle trade barriers, mutual recognition of professional qualifications and improved touring opportunities for artists.”
@craiggrannell@JugglingWithEggs It’s just peachy that the current best option to replace the Conservative Party is a fractionally less shit version called “Labour“, but with seemingly little connection to any traditional Labour Party values.
People are crying out for real change, but all they’re going to get, at best, is a watered down version of the same thing, led by someone who lives and dies by opinion polls.
@guffo@Lingmops Largely for curiosity value only these days, but Objective-C always felt vastly more sensible, although perhaps that’s just because I’m a sucker for the method declaration approach it uses.
The NeXT/Apple libraries were also very “complete” for their time.
Mastodon users shared my CPC post (thank you*), as did Bluesky users. There was even traction on LinkedIn. Threads? Not a sausage. Presumably they’re all Oric fans over there or something.
Genuinely. Retro gaming articles do really inconsistent traffic on Stuff, and so the more eyes, the better. I’d like to be doing more pieces like this, but traffic needs to be sufficient to justify it.
Curiously, the C64 equivalent has been doing really well, but we’re not entirely sure why!
@craiggrannell I would say I feel sorry for those Beeb owners out there, but their parents were likely loaded, so they’re probably doing alright for themselves.
