Deluxe Paint on the Commodore Amiga

Back when EA was cool, they packaged their software in album-style sleeves and promoted their developers like rock stars. I was a Dan Silva groupie. VisiCalc on the Apple II. Lotus 1-2-3 on the IBM PC. Aldus PageMaker on the Macintosh. Deluxe Paint on the Amiga. The computer industry loves a “killer app,” that unique piece of software that compels consumers to purchase new computer hardware just for the privilege of running it.

These Are the Catchiest Songs of All Time, According to AI. Do You Agree?

Catchy songs have been around as long as there's been music, but what makes a song stick in our minds is still a mystery. I recently chaperoned the all-night graduation party at my daughter's high school. After hanging out at an all-games-and-rides-free arcade until 2 a.m., we took the graduates on chartered buses to a private all-ages nightclub in downtown Seattle. It boasted free unlimited fountain soda and snacks, a photo booth with props, a trivia contest, glow necklaces and, best of all, a

Contracts for C

C++ seems to finally converge with their contracts proposal, https://wg21.link/p2900. I decided to give it a try and come up with ideas how such a thing would look for C.

In particular, the C++ feature is full of sidetracks that I don’t like at all, such as user-defined global handlers and ignorability. But there is a core of ideas, syntax and semantics that I found interesting
