@SoufianeKHIAT @tetsuoai I've no opinion on args ordering with high level lang like C. But I was shocked seeing x86 assembly using src, dst, the default order of my fave and lovely CPU : Motorola 68000 :)

@leonard_coder @tetsuoai I even know some people who do in C: func( in0, in1, ..., out0, ... ) Non sense it should And must be: func( out0, ..., in0, ... ) Like memcpy !!!

x86 segmentation maps memory references through segment registers. It is still used in modern x86-64 for FS/GS, especially thread-local storage and kernel per-CPU data. In sandboxing, segmentation can restrict untrusted code to a fixed memory region. MIT 6.858.

@johnrheritage We use raster lines time (a complete frame is 313 raster lines). I would say typical YM music takes between 10 to 15 lines. Amiga MOD is 5 lines on average but have peaks at 10 to 15. But now in modern era you have very fast players ( 0.5line for MOD :) ) tinyurl.com/ymw6ncd6

@leonard_coder Tech question if I may - How much CPU time (%) is typically required on the ST to play YM music? And on the Amiga, what % of time did the CPU use to play MODs or basic instruments via Paula? I'm just curious how much overhead was for music on these systems.

@vlad_mihalcea maybe you're not rich enough?

In 30 years of using Windows, I've never used this Rich Text Format.

@Generations7080 au moins tous les films francais des années 70 :)

Quel vieux film serait extrêmement problématique s'il sortait à notre époque ? 🎬😏

@thomasklemenc really impressive, in general custom made UI are bloody fast but looks bad. Yours is both fast and good looking :) what's graphics API? directX?

@leonard_coder yes custom made widget based mixed mode UI.

Exactly two weeks ago, TaskSlinger launched and the response has been incredible! Today, I am releasing the first major update,with more metrics, customizable graphs, ARM64 support, a lot of polish, and much more. Highlights below or try it now: taskslinger.net ↓↓

@FelixCLC_ very nice talk indeed. It inspires me writing a blogpost about some weird SIMD instruction: arnaud-carre.github.io/2024-10-06-vpt…

Periodic reminder for anyone designing ISA and hardware to rewatch Tom Forsyths SMACNI Talk; one of the best resources on designing ISAs for real problems and the like: vimeo.com/450406346?shar…

@sudox7 this code doesn't look correct at all for any serious C prog

the most dangerous code in C looks completely correct

@DefenceForceOrg what's this tool?

Software has a natural tendency to get more complex over time, specially if you listen to all the user requests. I can't say I'm particularly proud of the interface of that tool, but it's been doing its job (mostly) for about 8 years now, with very little maintenance needs. 😅

@MusicPills10 Poor drummer, he only uses one cymbal for the whole song :)

@Vivek4real_ Meanwhile, some children born in 1985 also have stupid reasoning today...

@teslacarsonly so fake

TESLA Optimus just arrived at home with Elon Musk.

@LouiseLabrande film génial

@Djoko_UTD I thought it would require more energy to break a racket like this. Impressive :)

🔙 Medvedev madness after losing last years US Open… Probably the longest racket smash..

@logiclpd how this thing doesn't spin on itself?

@app_settings no doubt macbook hardware is way better than any windows laptop, esp regarding the price. But still, no windows.. :( I dream of Apple reviving their great BootCamp and macbook M5 able to natively run windows on ARM. That would be instant buy for me

we’re now living in a timeline where APPLE gives you twice as much ram and storage as the competition, and for less money too…

@cliv3twit @ComputerLove_ who knows? :) richest BASIC programmer ever :)

@leonard_coder @ComputerLove_ I guess he does not write BASIC code today anymore :D

Chris Espinosa is currently the longest-serving employee at Apple. He joined in 1976 at the age of 14, writing BASIC code while the company was still based in Steve Jobs' garage.
