Then it was the weekend again, and time for another round with him good saturday. The column where kode24 editors collect some of the best, funniest and weirdest things we’ve found on the internet this week.
Have a great weekend!
AI-enhanced developer tools
Peter’s oil:
I wrote the most painful article of the year this week, about how Notepad and Paint are now getting AI. But there are a lot of other developer tools that have been updated recently as well, for the better, and not just by getting AI down. A fireboat goes through the main events:
How do the “Hello World” pixels end up on the screen?
Kurt:
I expect most of our readers will understand what happens when you run a simple Hello World program. But you understand really So what is happening “under the hood”?
Former Microsoft developer Dave Plummer explains in this video what happens in Windows when you run a small C program with a printf command (“Hello, World!”n”). the screen:
Duck Tales on Nintendo Piano
Arnfin:
I was recently thinking about one of my favorite tunes from video game history. And with my desire to hear it again I came across this treatise. Nice rehearsal, beautifully explained, and OH MY GOD look at that piano (or organ)!
Don’t stress it!
Peter’s oil:
What would happen if everyone in the entire world pointed at the moon with laser pointers? I know, of course I am. Why am I asking? For some unusual reason, someone else has asked, and XKCD has prepared an answer. Why should you care? I know, of course I am!
Linux tablet since 2005
Kurt:
Did you know that Nokia made tablets with Linux in 2005? It used a proprietary Linux distribution called Maemo – which was also used in later Linux-based smartphone-like devices from the early 2000s such as the Nokia N900 that I actually own. test for PC world Norge i 2009.
The tablet is called the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet – if you can call it that and it lets you browse the web, check email and much more. Check it out:
VHS was bad, yes
Arnfin:
It’s been a while since I’ve seen someone argue for VHS and against DVD, but that was this year. It was a strange conversation in its day, and perhaps there are few things that showed it better than the loss of quality on a copy. Have you seen how bad it is with 16 rounds of copying and digitizing before? Damn it!
New Tetris game!
Peter’s Oil:
The story of Tetris is one of the most interesting stories about software. You’ve heard it before, but now you’ll hear it again, through another new Tetris game, which apparently is also a small Tetris museum. Søren instead, here I think it costs me a few hundred pounds.
Email in 1994
Kurt:
It’s fun to watch old TV programs about computers and technology. Like the Swedish program “Computer window” from 1994.
Here you will hear about e-mail and modems, hear about educational programs for children, and see tests of computer games. You can also enter a contest to win a USRobotics fax modem! It is possible to admit that the date for participation has passed.
Boys don’t grow up
Arnfin:
In the series “Boys don’t grow up”: What about building a Power Weapon that works? This gang has built a lot of weird and wild things in the past, and now they are starting a new series that will take homemade weapons to a new level.
