Variable Number of Nested For Loops
An old problem that came to my head a couple of days ago. I solved it as an excersive in Fortran class about 25 years ago, my current solution is: $lbound = 1; $ubound = 4; $loops = 3; $numbers = array(); for($i=1; $i=1; $l–) { $numbers[$l]++; if( $numbers[$l]>$ubound ) { $numbers[$l] = $lbound; } […]

My computers in time.
Today i realized that i am programming for maybe more than 25 years (that is 35 years in 2021) (still have gw-basic printouts) and i started thinking the machines i owned and special ones i worked on. So the story starts around 1985 or something: Sinclair ZX-Specturum +2 Euro-PC (intel 8088, single 3.5″ floppy) – […]
In Praise of Scripting
“…it permitted rapid development, often regarded as merely “rapid prototyping,” but subsequently recognized as a kind of agile programming….” “…Proper and professional software engineering supposedly permits managers to level the playing field and extract considerable productivity from less talented and less motivated programmers. This makes software productivity a commodity, and programmers become disposable and exchangeable. […]
Prevent Windows Update From Automatically Restarting Your PC
Windows Update’s automatic reboot can be one of the most annoying “features” in Microsoft operating systems.
