„Sind Fotos vom Eiffelturm bei Nacht illegal?

Die Antwort ist ja und nein. Man darf den Eiffelturm bei Nacht fotografieren und die Bilder für den Privatgebrauch verwenden. Will man sie aber öffentlich verbreiten oder kommerziell nutzen, muss man die Erlaubnis der Societe d'Exploitation de la Tour Eiffel (SETE) einholen“

Die #StZ erklärt hier diese Regel.

Stuttgarter Zeitung · Eiffelturm nachts fotografieren: Warum darf man das nicht?By Lukas Böhl

Imaginez un homme si convaincant qu’il réussit à faire croire à de riches investisseurs que la Tour Eiffel était à vendre. Et encore plus incroyable, il réussit cet exploit… à deux reprises ! Victor Lustig, maître de l’escroquerie et de la manipulation, orchestra une fraude si audacieuse qu’elle reste l’une des plus fascinantes de l’histoire. Retour sur l’histoire de l’homme qui vendit Paris à prix d’or.

Mais qui aurait cru qu’un jour, la Tour Eiffel deviendrait l’objet d’une des plus grandes escroqueries du siècle ? Victor Lustig, un homme au talent exceptionnel pour la manipulation, réussit l’impensable : il vendit la Dame de Fer. Non

REPOST (JAN 2024): My first thoughts on #Psion's dialect of Object Oriented C for the Series 3 and related portable computers.

Includes the JPI/Clarion #TopSpeed #compiler, a proprietary preprocessor, the Eiffel programming language, and a handful of calling conventions.

Also, did somebody say Objective-C?

This is an old blog post from the beginning of the year. If you've been following my journey in recreating #CTRAN, this was written a week before I decided to take the plunge.

(Yes, I did say in the article that I definitely wouldn't be writing a compiler. I did say that.)

I've been calling it "Psion OO C", but the main library that it uses is called <strong>OLIB</strong>, which contains the root class. The others are:</p> <ul><li><strong>HWIM: </strong>The OO graphics library</li><li><strong>FORM: </strong>On-screen formatting </li><li><strong>XADD: </strong>Additional graphics library for 3a onwards (but not the Series 3 "classic")</li></ul> <p>To Psion's credit, their OO ecosystem is well documented in the SIBO C SDK across 5 books (hence the 1150 pages mentioned above). Each of the libraries has its own, dedicated book. There's also an "Object Oriented Programming Guide" which acts as an introduction to the whole ecosystem. I don't have the latest versions of all of these books - they seem to be lost to time. But I have all the 3 and 3a features documented, plus (I think) all of the 3c/Siena extensions. (3mx-era EPOC16 remains sadly undocumented.)</p> <p>What's nice about Psion's approach to OO is that they assume no prior
