My family had Atari 400 with a tape drive. I remembered buying a tape with a game. We also use it for basic programming language and the Astroids game using a cartridge.
Yep, I had the BASIC cartridge and used the tape drive almost exclusively for that. Coded up all sorts of little projects on that machine. I hated the membrane keyboard, but it worked!
Attention hijacking becomes micro-habbits that become a rourtine. After just a few days, it becomes very difficult to undo, even if being aware of what's going on. This is what I understood from Tristan Harris several years ago and it's still happening today.
That's freaking awesome. I had no idea, is this a recent addition? I've read SDL source code some years ago and I remember seeing a X11 implementation only.
"bootcode.bin: This is the 2nd Stage Bootloader, which is run by the 1st Stage Bootloader which is embedded into the RPI by the manufacturer. Runs on the GPU. Activates the RAM. Its purpose is to run start.elf (3rd Stage Bootloader)."

Looking for a short term contract (few weeks) with option to permanent hire. I think this is a great way for companies to hire a great fit with minimum risk.
Over 5 years C++ Programming Experience in CAD software. In production release for over 10 years.
Great question. Generally easier to get a contract job, as the people hiring you tend to want your skills, and care less about things like "culture fit." Generally, I would say the contractor hiring process is more pragmatic. "Show me something you've done kind of like this...great, you're hired." Realizing that it's much easier to "undo" a mistake in hiring a contractor. "Don't come back tomorrow."
That's awesome, although it's not as great as it might appear at first glance. I once took on a job to write a .bat script to compile a GO app any Windows machine without any Go environment installed. The script ended up about 20 lines long, and could compile the app on a fresh Windows install on any machine. It just took all day to write when I thought it would be done in 30 minutes.
Working with GO on Windows can be a pain, but my takeaway from this ordeal was that it wasn't really the fault of MS or Google, but due to most Windows users actually having no idea how Windows works, even software developers who have been using the OS for 20 years.
The NT kernel/hypervisor is a marvel of software engineering but unfortunately it is not as easy to teach in OS classes compared to Unix/Linux family systems.
Which chromebook do you have? I was recently tinkering with my pixelbook on the dev channel, I believe you can launch kvm vms from the chromeos 'linux subsystem' it's kind of like WSL2 in reverse but with KVM vs hyper-v. Wonder how a win10 vm would run, although the lack of workstation grade hardware for chromeos seems like it would hold that back. Launching android apps is pretty slick though
I have to use a secure Windows laptop for work, but I admin Linux servers. WSL has been great for me, if only so that I can use a real linux command line and terminal instead of PuTTY when I SSH into boxes.
