Thank you for making that. There are are articles that mention how we forgot the octal connection to the x86 isa. Your ascii art table is just a really clean way of visualizing it.

Neat approach. I like how you are trying to simplify the problem.

That was probably an amazing decade for the Bay Area. I wish I was there then to see it.

Truth

I think the Caltrain people ran their stuff on emacs too.

Ah, sry. I can no longer edit the title.

This is a great list. What is the truth about wine?

What does that mov do?

Not a single person got the watchmen reference

Interestingly, many old workstations that did 3d (primarily SGI), had what was called an overlay plane. This was essentially a separate frame buffer using indexed color into a palette. One of the colors would indicate transparency. The overlay was traditionally used for all UI or debug output on top of a 3d scene. For example, the Alias/Wavefront 3d modeler required this feature in order to run. It allowed the slower 3d hardware of that era to focus on a complex scene vs the scene AND the UI.

Do most people have to go through all of this ceremony or is there typically a JTAG port on a motherboard that will do the trick?

Thanks for writing this up Ken.

Strangely enough, I was researching a related topic a few days ago. I was wondering if disassemblers did the right thing with these opcodes. I was wondering in particular if they could reproduce the exact binary after disassembly.

It turns out that most assemblers do not have a specific way to make a distinction. The gnu assembler (gas) does have a ‘.s’ suffix for mnemonics to differentiate.

At a job I had, they gave people a book titled: Your Mac Is Not A Typewriter

One of the big things was the single space rule.

Interesting thing tho. Many years later I read on Steve Losh’s blog that he uses two spaces after every period. Why? So he can just do a simple search to move through sentences.

Same story for me up to the IBM selectrics.

Same thing with PayPal

Haha - thanks :-) I thought it was an abbreviation for some special tome on Operating Systems design.

Hi msbarnett: sorry unrelated to this thread. In an older thread you mention an acronym TFA. The thread was a discussion on sparse files and removing bytes from the front of a file. What is TFA?

This is an excellent article. It is comprehensive and has simple explanations.

Why is he making a packer?

I miss this guy

I know that this phrase was used way back in the early 90s. I suspect it was used before then as well.

Whoa - nice. I just ordered one in March. I was OK with having to try manjaro, but i wanted to try void. Thanks for sharing this.

Totally. I really like that he has kept it all these years.

This is a really good story. It is important to remember that this is the spirit that built Silicon Valley.

Which parts are the coroutines?

Who wrote this?

Rust does name mangling by default. However, you can turn it off per symbol just like in C++.

Connections was such a great show. Thx for this. Wish I could find the old black and white Dr Who episodes on YouTube as well.

How quiet is the EPYC build?
