I just wanted to hijack this thread to say thanks for your deep dives into die reversing. They've really turned what always seemed like arcane runes into some sort of actual understanding on my part.

Pretty much figured that would be impossible until this point.

We all figured this would be coming, but man does it feel weird to be rooting for B&N to stay afloat when they were basically the evil empire of book stores just a handful of years ago.

The indie bookstores will probably be around forever, but I'll be super sad the day that the big book store is dead. I'm still fucked up from Borders going under.

+1 for KDE2 love

As if the quality of HN threads is better by leaps and bounds.

That and brushed metal. Such thrill.

This is the first that I'm hearing of this. That is absolutely sick.

Greedies gonna greed

That sounds a lot more like yuppies than hipsters

I have my $20 wired Sony buds drop out about once every never.

If you're getting fired for not being the perfectly optimal worker automaton, then I'm very sorry you ever had to work for such a business in the first place.

Except for that part where they were spending free time watching play-by-plays of their own work.

Oh, hey, Atomic Object! Just wanted to say it's neat to see you guys on here, and, if you're from the AA office, hello from just the other side of 23.

I've been writing to 65816 lately, so it may be that they're extended mode instructions. But does the 6502 not have PHX and PHY?

I love, love, love Ben's videos, and this is an awesome project.

But to be as painfully pedantic as possible: can we please use the word 'monitor', here? Calling it a 'microkernel' really gives one the wrong initial impression.

Still, very neat. Now write a BASIC!

It's disgusting how navigable most of Japan is. It makes even urban Europe seem like garbage.

I'm not sure what you're talking about, here. Used to live in Nagoya and have been to Toyotashi many a time. It's a pretty average small Japanese city.

Super late, but the term MCU refers to the actual chip -- analogous to SoC for the main chip on a raspi.

You don't call the raspi an SoC, and it's debatable that you'd call a prototyping platform like Arduino an MCU. The MCU is the main Atmel AVR, Microchip PIC, or similar part that drives such a board.

VMS feels like DOS if DOS were actually secretly UNIX

Also, don't forget about OS/8 for the PDP-8 series. Very DOS-y, and released by DEC all the way back in '71.

David Murray? Or did you work with him? Probably not, but I figured it's a shot in the dark.

It's about familiarity.

Learn those cursor movement keys combos and you'll find it ends up being way faster to get to the middle of your line to drop your ctrl-v that way once you're used to it.

Not that I mean to rag on you in a superior way like so many keyboard-only primadonnas like to. You do you, and I understand that for a lot of people the investment in learning this non-critical stuff just isn't worth the time.

Can confirm. And I'm not embarassed to admit it.

When did wanting to just have fun become shameful?

You say that like it's not ridiculously impressive and interesting.

Could you imagine using something like this for reviewing finish options for a product with zero turnaround time?

TBF, I'm fairly certain that only certain types of breads are affected by the speltdown issue

People rarely consider the fact that just because someone is born to be a genius doesn't mean that they'll want to grow up to be an academic.

I was born reasonably smart-ish. Did okay in school, have a good job writing code because I have an aptitude for it. But if I had a big dream, it would be in entertainment.

Every time I clean right after I cook I'm stunned by how quick, easy and painless it is.

You know, the two times a year I actually do it.

Holy hell, how much are you paying for that? I just did a quick look through rental prices in Cambridge and I'm seeing 1000sqft one bedrooms going for $2000/mo and up.

So... okay. Maybe that number of rooms in such an area exists, but it's not exactly something the average working family can even think about affording

I couldn't even imagine. My family upgraded from dialup to satellite around 2006 as a luxury, and the latency was basically unworkable for anything remotely realtime.

Even for a reasonably decent plan, the caps were also ridiculous as well. I could realistically watch maybe 45 minutes of YouTube per month.

Yeah, as someone who grew up on 12 acres off a dirt road -- in the comparitively populated SE corner of Michigan and still within the suburban area of a small city as well -- I think a lot of the more Eurasian crowd have a hard time understanding the true scope of situations like North American rural communities.

Cable didn't even come up to our street, and this is ~4mi from the local town -- pretty far from 'super rural' in local terms.
