The mid-'84 ads for is unexpectedly reacquainted me with (through the ads for the Computer Innovations C Compiler) the Coronado Enterprises C Tutorial by Gordon Dodrill.

I got some of my first insight into what could be done with one of these $400 "compilers" to make my own software, which was an innate part of my 8-bit computing experience, but was locked away for quite some time.

Selling StrongARM / XScale to Marvell might be something they regret. Wonder if they held onto a cross-licensing deal for the architecture.

Maus book I and omnibus are not available, but Maus book II is available in the Open Library. https://openlibrary.org/authors/OL250856A/Art_Spiegelman

OP however appears to be an illegitimate archive submission.

US-based commenter here, I first heard JMJ in the soundtrack to the 1988 gaqme "Captain Blood" by ERE Informatique/Exxos which is a clip of Ethnicolor from Zoolook. Oxygene IV was advertised on TV in "Pure Moods" and a lot of other new-age compilations.

Hadn't heard of this, found concerns about the environmental impact & the CEO's previous company Nautilus Minerals:

Thanks for the reference! Found the 1974 paper https://web.archive.org/web/20030410020522/https://www.acsac... and the "Thirty Years Later: Lessons from the Multics Security Evaluation" followup https://web.archive.org/web/20030410095057/https://www.acsac...

Always neat to have lost sources show up eventually. Librarians rule.

https://www.hboehm.info/gc/ is a windows+linux+unix allocator implementation - it uses VirtualAlloc on Windows and mmap or sbrk on Unix.

For performance reasons (avoiding a syscall) almost all malloc implementations only use sbrk / mmap occasionally and keep the malloc calls in userspace.

So fully-functional blob-free RPi3 / RPi4 is a thing now?

Digging for dirt. On Mudge. Apparently they forgot that he is the one who port-knocks.

MPEG-LA Patents, over 5,500 of them.

To get h.264 into Firefox, Cisco stepped up and offered to take the heat -

but that doesn't mean they can safely be in Chromium.

See also: The entire reason VLC can do MPEG-2 decoding being a French student research project.

I believe the project's supporting files for other formats aren't complete ...

I also ran into the texinfo => tex => PDF version having title page & other errors in the rendering steps - but saw that the ASCII version "make c.txt > text.txt" generated the indexes / cross-references.

I think the build environment will be likely getting several enhancements to render correctly.

Bravo

I found it interesting that the article chooses to not acknowledge several projects like

Hardware documentation and developer software not generally available, and expensive.

Internally, Atari did development on minicomputers and cross-assembled the output. For me there was just (slow) BASIC. Information on low-level features (Display Lists, I/O, etc) only came out in 3rd-party magazines & books years later.

I experienced the same mindset on the Atari ST & IBM PC later. Reading about GNU was a very novel idea.

Excellent analogy. You could, if you had a full CD pressing & mastering plant, copy those discs with "wobble groove" and all. But it's a clever clever side channel. https://archive.ph/LuPaY#:~:text=they%20track%20the%20%27-,w...

At least a dozen friends I know swore by QModem :^) I was always a Telix user but found QModem a solid term program when I used it! Cheers!

Thanks for the clarification - it's the corporate-shoggoth of HP>Agilent>Infineon+LSI>Avago "Broadcom Inc." not underground-dungeon-scandal "Broadcom Corporation". Their NASDAQ ticker is still AVGO. :)

An example I've seen is a dozen construction workers on a big job site whose phones push-to-talk goes to the speakerphones of everyone on their team. This functionality was big with Nextel phones/service in the early cellular era.

The RV service for Colorado - $707 upfront w/ first month, $135/mo thereafter. Looks like Metro Denver is on the waitlist for 2023. Interesting.

TIL - thanks for the correction. It looks like they were complimentary, I incorrectly assumed that links to the hyperreal archive that were moved to Erowid were a name change, I never saw that it was a separate site.

https://erowid.org/general/about/about_article5.shtml

Erowid's previous name was hyperreal.org - '96 snapshot:

https://web.archive.org/web/19961226004356/http://hyperreal....

previous to that it was a mailing list from '92:

The founder has other items to his credit :D

You could write a complete from-scratch decoder, and be sued if you distribute it.

This is the case with MPEG-2 formats used in DVD Video, and the reason that the VLC Media Player exists as a French student research project distributed as source code instead of a normal library.

The Micropolis name was used to avoid hitting EA trademark, but it came from the original game's porting team:

Can confirm. In 1990, I managed to send him a letter from a borrowed Internet account (I didn't have an email address at the time.) He tracked me down and telephoned me(!!), I still remember his friendly demeanor, and at the end of the conversation he said "Happy hacking!".

mods: (2011) should be added to title.

Professors Noll & Trickett have published more recent work as of 2016 (Trickett passed away that year.)

Seeing as you could use a 1959 IBM 1401 to print out nude pin-ups ( http://www.threedee.com/jcm/aaa/ ) and subsequent examples ( https://asciipr0n.com/ ) - the answer is an unqualified yes.
