It's amazing what hoops people are keen to jump through so they don't have to program in Forth.
Simple 8-bit Assembler Simulator in Javascript 13 years ago
This is not an assembler simulator (i'd enjoy having one, though), it's a 8-bit computer simulator that includes an assembler.

Firefox OS: System wide orientation lock in 45LOC 13 years ago
The one with icons you use to start programs. Probably "main menu."
Firefox OS: System wide orientation lock in 45LOC 13 years ago
Off-topic, but I always wondered why both on iOS and Android some built-in applications (notably program selection screen) are always portrait-locked?
As a Nokia E70 (Symbian) user, this always buggers me. What if I want to search for something (and for that, use the long-edge keyboard)?
What is the rationale here?

Do Devs Need Custom Linux Laptops? Dell Thinks So 14 years ago
Remember we are talking about "power user" hardware, or something like that. Of course I'm going to install the O/S of my choice on my work laptop.
Do Devs Need Custom Linux Laptops? Dell Thinks So 14 years ago
You've probably misread "going to use" as "heard of."
Do Devs Need Custom Linux Laptops? Dell Thinks So 14 years ago
If by "custom" you mean rebranded consumer hardware coming with some Linux distribution I'm never going to use preinstalled, the answer is likely to be "no."
Clarification added later that I never anticipated to be needed: my point here is that there are more significant departures from mainstream needed to call something a "custom Linux laptop for developers": most likely, significant hardware changes.
