I've never been entirely convinced. He published it in the form of two floppy disks, at a time where floppy disks genuinely were floppy, and his approach was the same as the economists': sit down with a lawyer, get her to explain to you how it was she solved a legal problem, and ...
When setting out to change the operating system version number, my colleague was shocked to find so many different version number mechanisms were scattered throughout the various Windows header files. It so happened that the DDK people were already in the process of cleaning up the version number...
Don’t worry, floppy disks. We found a use for you. Some types of media are not practical or affordable for a typical home computer user looking to back up their data (tape libraries, for example). Some of the technologies were prohibitively expensive back then, but are much more affordab...

My main point is this on why is programming so hard: 30 years ago, all I had to know to create a program was the programming language BASIC and how to structure code into subroutines — which is what we called functions and methods back then. Printing was a bit harder because printer ...
At first the company released shareware games on 3.5-inch floppy disks, sometimes packed in Ziploc bags. Titles like ZZT and Jill of the Jungle were simple but showed Sweeney's coding chops: ZZT was written in a scripting language Sweeney invented, and it was one of the first releases that...
It's called film; a write-once, read-many (WORM) medium. I made this shot on a Contax G2 with a 21mm Zeiss lens at f/8 on Fuji Velvia 50, which was processed and scanned at the same time at NCPS. The dynamic range is so great that the hellacious sunbursts you see are just...
