Or just throw modern web app development with its insane ways of trying to work around the fast that JS is a broken paradigm and start over.

Develop a good vm that can either be part of the browser or can be easily launched from it and get all of the browser/OS makers on the same page.

We only have what we have because of a lack of real leadership.

Their old buildings are still all around here, but now holding karate studios or vape shops.

Sure, but the point is that you can't treat a zero page address like a register. There's a LDA, LDX, LDY, but no way to load directly to a zero page address. You have to load a real register, then store it in the ZP address.

Zero page isn't a bunch of registers because register operations by and large don't work on them directly.

It's really not a bunch of registers though...

If you could so something like LD[$0f] #65 - then yeah, you have registers. But you can't do that sort of thing with zero page. You'd still need to do: LDA #65 STA $0f

The 65816 is a pain to code for. It has what's basically a segmented memory architecture with only two segment registers: D (data bank) and P (program bank).

You can't just make a 24-bit pointer w/o doing things using the direct page, which is admittedly a bigger problem for a C compiler than an assembler.

You always have to be able to know what mode the 'A' register is in (8/16) as well as the index registers. These are separate switches. Even disassembling code on the '816 is tainted by this, because for any section of code you look at, you have to know what mode the thing is in to accurately disassemble the code.

So basically, it's a 16-bit processor, sometimes which is a bit maddening.

And you'd have to spend a ton of time porting to each target system.

OTOH, the Z80 is better for this, because you can at least get CP/M up and running with a minimum of trouble.

When I was in college, they taught the Computer Architecture course using the 68000. Coded GUI stuff on the Mac 128k with assembler, and it was surprisingly easy, especially compared to doing anything with the 8086.

Both can be true: people get hacked because of lax security, but "security" is often used as a vector to enshitification.

> Also, Fedora's gnome has no windows minimize/maximize buttons if you can believe it!

That's a setting, isn't it? Install gnome-tweaks, then under "Window Titlebars", you can turn them back on.

Granted, it's a stupid default, and I have no idea what the GNOME team was thinking on that one.

Every development shop has a Dave.

I really hope you're being sarcastic.

Exactly. I've been using Java since 2000, and I haven't once written an AbstractFactoryFactoryService. To be fair, I skipped over early versions of Spring.

Need a Microsoft service status page status page.

Then why does this sort of thing keep happening?

This is another reason why police officers should be required to carry malpractice insurance, that they pay for.

This kind of nonsense is very much on brand for the Cleveland PD.

But why? What is there to be gained in all of this work around the inherent limitations of this technology?

Yeah, I don't want a streaming app. I just want to be able to easily play the music I already have.

No. Just what, two years ago, no one was really using LLMs to do this sort of thing? Why do we suddenly have to use these tools now?

If your job is to write software, then you're the accountant or lawyer or doctor. Otherwise, what do we even bring to the table?

to wreck it?

It's not fashionable.

Not to mention that the human body is completely opposed to losing weight, and will do anything it can to convince you that what you really need to do is to gain it back.

I’m going to go with shortest as in length of time he was in the job.

This is also a problem with ActivityPub. The 'delete' command is basically a suggestion.

I've run into problem with Chase and I've heard from other people who have as well.

Your account will get closed without explanation, and getting your funds back is a major hassle. A branch manager told me they had a lot of AI-type account reviews going on, the output of which isn't questioned.

Well, there's also the 4.3 million US autoworkers who'd ultimately be the ones to get shafted.

I don't think we can keep killing off entire industries and expect it to work out in the long run. At some point, what's left? WalMart?

The Bolt isn't exactly a good looking car though.

It might sound silly, but not everyone looks at things through a utilitarian view.

Out of curiosity, how long are those trips though?

In the US and probably Canada, there's an expectation that spending 8 hours in one day going somewhere is easily doable. (as in 800 km in 8 hours with a few 10-30 minute breaks for gasoline or food). It doesn't seem like that's a particularly normal thing for a European to do.

Indeed. I won't buy a car that doesn't support CarPlay.

As a GenXer, I think it's hilarious.
