That's why some computer mags started introducing tools to type in programs without ambiguities.

Here's a recent example I made: an Amstrad CPC program that's both valid BASIC and machine code at the same time, and running it both ways (RUN or CALL &170 -- loading address of the BASIC program) produce the same output: https://github.com/ssg/yello

Still waiting for the Windows version.

You seem to be confusing Z80 with 6502.

Actually, BASIC’s flat structure helped me a lot in understanding Z80 assembly when I was 12. You see, memory addresses were line numbers, registers were variables, JP was GOTO, CALL was GOSUB. CP was IF, JP, Z was THEN GOTO, and LD was LET, and so forth.

So AT is governed by a single for-profit entity

A Public Benefit Corporation to be precise. So they are legally obligated to favor public benefit.

What's missing in .NET AOT?

When I watched Jurassic Park when it came out, I got so enamored with the computers in the movie, especially the SGI, that I adjusted the looks of our DOS GUI library[1] so it would look more like it. (I had already a liking to OSF/Motif then)

I argue the opposite: there’s no better fix for this. You can write the most elegant fix, whatever it is, and prevent that from happening only on the codebase that’s fixed. That doesn’t mean that the codebase will always be the only authority on authentication.

The username policy fixes this issue for good, regardless of whatever you write in the future, or whatever new mechanism is introduced.

It’s a restriction for sure, but it’s not a nonsense restriction? Who would have a username starting with a hyphen? I didn’t even know it was possible until today.

Their fix just future-proofs it in case the same bug gets reintroduced.

Simple. I can operate any button without taking my attention from the road at all as long as the said button has a distinct feeling and/or location. That’s immediately an infinitely better experience.

BMW iDrive buttons are an excellent example for that.

More importantly, car touchscreens are dangerous. It’s impossible to operate a touchscreen without moving your attention from the road to the touchscreen itself.

That’s why I think it must be a legal requirement for any car with touchscreen controls to operate car functions must have driver assistance features enabled, no exceptions.

This is what Windows task manager reports

Just to clarify, Windows Task Manager uses Private Working Set by default for process memory usage which does NOT include shared pages with other processes such as libraries or memory mapped files (hence the name “private”). It only shows the memory that maps to privately allocated physical memory per process. It’s probably closer to Resident Set on Unix.

You probably meant the memory usage in performance tab but I wanted to clarify in case people mistake it for all memory usage fields.

Snapdragon has excellent single-thread performance (unlike Ampere) if that’s what you’re asking.

Putting apps in a container sounds like a great idea until you need to access your files.

Cool!

How did he get 50ft controller range though?

EDIT: To quote GamerNexus, “ Using the Puck outside, we were able to get around 146 feet (44.5m) away with direct line-of-sight before it completely dropped out. In a house, you’d lose connection much sooner due to walls and obstacles. Still, it’s an impressive range.”

Too late. Had to switch to Fedora last year because my machine didn’t support TPM 2.0 and the CPU was one generation older. I know TPM 1.3 is less secure, but I didn’t care in the context of that specific machine. I wish I had the option. Fedora runs great on it though.

GamerNexus found out that an equivalent DIY machine would cost $979 in parts only to give a perspective on the pricing. It would probably be bigger too due to the discrete GPU.

Sure, I know all that, but it’s ironic to me that Unix, which was boasted as the epitome of portability once with C, POSIX, X11, X/Open and whatnot, actually struggles with backwards compatibility while Microsoft, the notorious developer of a closed-source, locked-in platform, has managed to become the key to portability :)

A Windows binary is just more portable

How the turntables…

is there a specific reason that the XSX is harder to homebrew than the PS5?

Xbox 360 was notoriously hard to reverse engineer at the time. Maybe for similar reasons.

Good luck playing PC games on PS5 or Xbox Series X.

They already require you to have made at least one purchase on Steam before April.

Insant buy for me because as an owner of a PS5 and Xbox One X, I’ve been using my Steam Deck a lot for gaming on TV using the dock. It works really well. This is just the dream version of that setup.

Christian Simpson has said many times that’s what Commodore is

Well he’s wrong. Commodore’s original spirit was all about entering the new digital era, not running away from it. We learned programming, games, demoscene, BBSes, and even Internet on our C64s and Amigas. C64U makes this even better thanks to USB ports and Wifi support, so it’s trivial to keep it connected to the new material while experiencing the nostalgia closest to its authentic form.

This phone is nowhere near it.

Not Commodore-looking. Not nostalgic. Not novel. It unchecks all the boxes.

I’m saying that as a very happy C64U owner.

Not immutable. Not good with binary files.

Thanks to the flexibility that Quake console provided, we were able to set up a three computer null-modem cable network using an additional serial port card on one computer, and play Quake multiplayer like that. We’d felt like we’d hacked the planet at the time.

What I mean by arbitrary is that like raising bread prices from $5 to $50 kind of thing. That’s not a sign of cost-based pricing. It’s arbitrary.

One month I could use Github Copilot fully with no disruptions. The next month, after pricing changes, I’ve run out of tokens in two days.

Such drastic changes tell me that pricing of tokens is arbitrary, and AI business is running out of money fast.
