I wrote a firewall and a few proxy servers, a couple of wimp guis and half a dozen real-time operating systems. I was never fond of event driven setups (beyond timers of course).
I learned to program standing in department stores. The local mall had three so I could move to the next one after I got kicked out, though I could usually spend a lot of time there if i made some nifty graphics demo to run (being my hobby at the time).
The synchronous que was the eventual downfall of os/2. The timeout counter was a kludge, but by that time I'd already moved onto linux. I think IBM had seen this light also.
If it is anything like aerospace, they certify complete systems, hardware and software configurations. You can't change the software and remain certified.
I dropped almost everything google, but occasionally scan gnews, after they changed the interface on maps for no reason. For everything that I used google for, ddg works perfect as does firefox. I missed google and chrome initially, but got over it in about a week. I'm sure I'm not a demographic they care about, good luck to them..
This. I do real time code and some of the things I've seen done make you want to ask the person who wrote the code if they thought about how it would be used for more than 5 seconds. Do no pre-optimize is not an excuse to be stupid. You do not need to run a sort routine inside an interrupt handler, even if it is only 5 elements.
I have a very rural house, nearest neighbor is 1km away. I get most everything from amazon 2 day delivery, grow my own food, off grid utilities except internet have a very nice house, dogs, various farm animals. And if I were really bored, I could blow up a stick of dynamite inside an old tree and nobody would complain. But I have enough space for my own shops (wood, metal, mechanical, art studio), rvs, boats and planes. And it all cost less than three years of salary at minimum wage.
Friend lived in apartment near downtown. He would send me pictures whenever they would poop (he called it bum dookie) in front and smear it on the fence. They would sometimes stack it on top of the fence.

Now, good luck knowing
True, but it's all the same, just different numbers. Except the GPU, those things are weird.
Is that booting or resuming from a saved state?
What happened to make you so dull?

Only rich kids were about to afford video games. The rest of us had to be content as spectators.
Pull the power cord. Works every time, except on laptops. Then remove the battery.
What's wrong with being elitist? It's taken me most of my life and a lot of work to get to that point.
Depends on what you are trying to program and the goals.
I liked peeks and pokes so much, I learned how hardware worked and grew up to be an electrical engineer.
celebrate computer geeks
It used to be about this. Now it's about some business leader, political movement or environmental outrage.
OS/2 was multi processor since 94 or 95. I remember learning about spinlocks at the time because that is what OS/2 was using.
Atari forever

Sounds like a kickstarter level project.
I got into computers so that I could make outer space robots. I wonder what kids get into computers for today?

No, it's by customer request. Microsoft listens to its customers.

Sounds like an accounting problem. Like why TaskManager uses 25% of cpu time.
True that. My walk to work is .3-4 minutes depending on whether I am working in my house or out in the shop.
Cities are best for people who pay for their entertainment. Rural is best for people who make their own entertainment.
and I have some of the best dark skies in the country. Most people have never seen a dark sky, and underestimate its value.
