Does anyone remember ToolBook? I spend a couple of years from the mid to late 90s working with this daily, crossing from Windows 3.11 into Windows 95/98. It's a bit Visual Basic-esque, as a matter of fact, Paul Allen was a founder of the company that produced it.
Does anyone has experience with AWS CodeCommit? It might not be what OP is looking for but since we're talking about moving away from GitHub. Personally I already pay for GitHub so I don't mind paying for something else. Just wondering if anyone has experience to share.
I think GP is referring to EGA which also used address 0xA0000 but you had to program it in it a planer mode of 16 colors out of a palette of 64. VGA provided backward compatibility with this but introduced the 256 color modes with mode 13h being the linear addressable 320x200 res mode, however this mode sacrificed 3/4 of the video memory. This mode was also referred to as "chained" mode as it chained all 4 bitplanes together for convenient linear addressing. There was also unchained mode, sometimes referred to as mode-x which allowed you to access all 256kb of video memory, resize the virtual screen, page flipping, etc. at the cost of compute overhead. Lots of tradeoffs to be made in those days. Some amazing looking 16 colors VGA games were produced in the early 90s, one that comes to mind is Gods by Bitmap Brothers.
It's certainly the most rudimentary. Small optimisation on the inner-loop would be to pre-calculate the scanline offset before going into the pixel loop:
int s = y*screenRect.w;
for (int x = 0; x < screenRect.w; x++) {
pixels[s + x] = argb(255, frame>>3, y+frame, x+frame);
}
That was not the case in this scenario. I was told I would be offered the role if I came out favorable with the CEO (did he like me or not? did I jump when the said "jump"?). To me this meant that the CEO doesn't trust the people he hires. He clearly didn't trust the hiring manager's jugement and/or respected their position. The CEO delegated a task and responsibility but then felt to have to authority to override that, which maybe he does. However, that's not a culture in which I want to operate. If I was wrong, so be it, but I saw a red flag and I made a choice.
I had something similar years ago. I applied for a job at a company, size around 150 people. Did two rounds of interviews which were great. They wanted me to offer the role. However, as a third round, I was going to do a meet and greet with the CEO and he was going to yay or nay me. At point I dropped out. If a CEO can't trust his delegate managers to hire the people they see fit for a role, then thanks but no thanks. That's not a company culture I want to spend most of my waking hours in.
There recently was a change to VSCode where commits are being co-authored even if AI wasn't used. Not saying that AI wasn't used in this case, but it could be ambigious.
