I just recently grabbed a Z81 and Timex 1000 from eBay.Always wanted to own and write some games on it. My current setup more complex. I grew up learning to code on C64 good times.
Just a word of warning. I signed up and their signup process requires you to link your card or bank account with stripe. And then the nightmare starts when you want to have access to the account at stripe. Stripe says you need to contact moonlight, moonlight says you need to contact stripe. I asked both of them to cancel my account. Moonlight replied that they cancelled it but stripe says they still have it and I can't get it cancelled. So yeah once you sign up your payment account is at the will of moonlight website.
Reminds me of that friends episode when Chandler tries to quit the gym LOL.
I enjoy reading the problems and solutions but every time I am trying to answer a question I get the "You don't have enough karma" lol. I just smile and move on :)
This!! x100, I am constantly working on features that are not even decided if they go into production. Using TDD for these would be a huge waste of time and energy.
Once a feature is accepted I write tests to cover it... after it's already being used and getting feedback from users.
" What me and other skeptics argue against is these kinds of overly futuristic announcements that have no ground in reality,"
I am pretty sure this is exactly the kind things people said about going to the moon, build a machine that can add numbers together faster than humans etc... lol
"This is such a grand and far reaching goal that were it to be achieved it would be by far, by very very far, the most important achievement of the human species so far. So far I've seen him put a rocket in orbit and land it again.* So excuse me if I tamper my enthusiasm."
What have people see NASA do when Kennedy announced landing a man on the moon? Would they be able to accomplish if people would tamper their enthusiasm? I don't think so. They had to invent technology that didn't exist to accomplish it and I believe this needs the same thing. Hence the reason I am stoked about it.
Someone who grew up admiring the achievements in space and technology(I was born the same year the Voyagers left earth) that kind of dreaming and willingness, set me on course as a child to study science and work in tech. I am very excited to see announcements like this. Because without dreaming it up and setting a direction we would stagnate. Just like NASA did with the space shuttle program.
Helping out and working on a CubeSat project that is going to be launched in June 2017, I see how much work it is to even communicate in leo never mind beyond that(I can't even begin).
Yet I can barely contain my excitement :)
Well I don't qualify for the free upgrade and I don't know if I want to pay for it. The fact is that Sketch 2 is a buggy mess!! I sent a bunch of bug reports to them and all they were saying I'll like the next major release and it will be fixed.
Don't waste your time with Sketch just download Inkscape and you'll be good to go. I am probably moving back to it as well.
Interesting to read this and other posts that talk about isolation. I am the total opposite. I like noise and people around me. I have an office at home and renting one too. But I get the most done when I am coding in one of the local coffee store. I guess I am just wired backwards:)
Server configs like this is premature optimization IMO.
I mean when you get millions of hits and the server slows down sure go for it, but in most cases apache2 with mod_wsgi does the work nicely with practically no config(beside the vhost file)
