Re: ld: warning future deprecation

Hi All If I change to the folder examples and type fbc hello.bas, there is no display output and the executable file hello is created. Runs correctly. If I add -v to the line, Iget: FreeBASIC Compiler - Version 1.10.1 (2023-12-24), built for linux-x86_64 (64bit) Copyright (C) 2004-2023 The FreeBASIC...

Re: Basic programmer will die?

Hi All Exactly my sentiment. In fact I only ever used maybe 10% of FreeBASIC's capacity. It has a lot of power but only in the hands of those who seem to be just as proficient in C++. Had it not been for forum members experienced in C++ FreeBASIC would have been useless for my LATER projects and I w...

Re: Adapting to change

Hi All I took the whole thing tongue in cheek. When my wife read the INTJ description, she said SHE could have told me all of that. Still ; you think of yourself a certain way and then to see an algorithm verify it, is somewhat satisfying. Then again at my age, are the personality traits amplified d...

Re: Adapting to change

Hi All

2.1 % and my DNA shows I am further removed from Neanderthal than normal.
I am feeling very special.

Shame I didn't know that 40 years ago.

Re: Adapting to change

Hi All Until I saw the link (@ 78 years old) I had not done one for 50 years. INTJ I was head hunted for a job as Technical manager and the test involved ticking boxes just like this one.

Re: Program design

Hi All Purest coder: “Saving milliseconds counts.” Pragmatic coder: “Yes, but only if you save millions of them.” That is a huge generalisation. All my programs control machines or processes and I will spend weeks improving performance to the mSec. eg: A machine that injects Ice Cream into a bag, by...

Re: USB RFID reader not recognised by Inkey

Hi All An update on testing. If I run the same software and the same Rfid reader and the same 3 port usb hub on my laptop, there is no problem. So considering that IF I use a Notepad type of app or CLI or Geany it works correctly, the Rpi hardware is in the clear, leaving only the FB compiler for Rp...
