• Apple QuickTake SF

  The challenge is that you need a mac that has a serial port, and then you need to be able to run the classic Mac OS (System 7 and higher). This camera pre-dates USB. However, you might be able to convince SheepShaver to use a USB-to-Serial cable and go with it that way. Source: 11 months ago

• How to Get and Run Rolypolys 2

  SheepShaver is a virtual machine program for running macOS, particularly the early PowerPC-era ones. It can run Rolypolys 2 just fine, although setting them up can be a bit tricky. Source: 12 months ago

• How to download games on MAC

  The Macintosh Repository has a lot of vintage Mac software from the '80s, '90s, and early 2000s. Getting it working is another story. I use SheepShaver, it's a hell of a thing to set up, but once you get it working, it's good for anything that didn't require a graphics card (I've been playing so much Rescue! The last couple months). Source: about 1 year ago

• Very random photoshop/iMac question!

  A new iMac M1 doesn't support older 32-bit apps so you're looking for an OS environment like SheepShaver that allows Intel/PowerPC Macs to run legacy pre-MacOSX apps. In your case for M2/M1 Macs to emulate a 32-bit environment... Sadly nothing like that is currently available or in development AFAIK. My suggestion is to keep the Macbook Pro and continue using it as long as possible. I still have an ancient Beige... Source: over 1 year ago

• How to run old Mac Software on new device?

  Meet Sheepshaver, a PPC Mac emulator that runs quite well on Apple Silicon. You'll need to track down a ROM dump of your old PPC Mac, but then you can install MacOS 7.x-9.x, and run old software. I've had good luck with Warcraft II, SimCity 2000, and Civilization II. Source: over 1 year ago

• Automating standups using GPT4 and Github APIs

  We think GitReport could replace standup apps like Geekbot. So we're making it into a product. More Git features are coming, like tracking issues and pull requests. Source: 8 months ago

• Agile / Scrum

  We run standups every day, however only 2x of them are a Teams call. The other 3 are run using a tool called Geekbot (Yes scrum masters do hate this) which is basically just a chatbot that sends you the standard standup questions and you can answer whenever you feel like it. This has helped our team heaps due to having such a huge mix of people in our team (Cloud Eng, Database Eng, Software Eng, Network Eng) that... Source: 11 months ago

• What do you really think of your daily standup?

  My new job recently pulled in https://geekbot.com/ to handle stand ups. Answer a couple basic questions when you login, and they’re all sent to a central channel. I’m not big on that type of communication in general, but it takes maybe 30 seconds each morning. Source: about 1 year ago

• As an IC, is there anything I can do about super cheerful team members using up meetings time?

  We use Geekbot to help standups. The feedback from each dev goes into a channel, then we talk about things that need to be addressed or things we're working on. Source: over 1 year ago

• Scrum Has Failed the Developers

  Back in 2005, I remember working on startups running on Scrum principles. It worked well at the time, we where able to ship, grow the team, and move forward with a nice few-features-per-week cadence, working remotely, on a small team; less than 10. Tt always worked fine, but very slow, as all-dev-things were at the time. I worked with ActiveColab in 2007, Skype 2007, Yammer 2009, Trello 2011, Pivotal Tracker 2013,... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
