@JanRingos @LinkedIn The thing I wanted to fix above param registers: Frame-Pointer chaining. For the same reason, change requires a time machine (on short supply). As the big philosopher said: "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, well, you might find, you get what you need"

@JanRingos @LinkedIn x86-64 does have alternate ABIs like verctorcall, but they are boutique ABIs, used in intimate contracts, not hyper-reusable API interfaces. Technically, compilers can make their own ABI (add registers) between transitive-closed calls to non-exposed APIs.

@mdf200 Learned IrisGL on that fella... oh, and played a lot of Tron Lightcycles.

Whoops.... what have I bought now.... 😳

@Bhuvan_RJ46 @lakshyalark Do you really think Chrome cares?!

Same number, different story.

Yesterday we celebrated 433 years since Pi day!

@straceX Coding Z80 assembly, duh!

13 years old kid and already coding in Python. What were you doing at his age?

@Fabio_Lolix No. This is the AMD "Seattle" Overdrive. It is the reference design. SoftIron Overdrive n000 were comercial products based on this reference design.

@itanium_guy It is the OverDrive 3000?

Now, this was one solid piece of hardware.

@Siddcodes1 Microsoft Surface SurfLink connector.

Show me a Windows laptop with MagSafe charging I bet you can't

@MuseumCommodore Me, last Friday, going through some floppies...

Turn up the volume 🔊 for a dose of nostalgia! Who has fond Commodore Amiga memories sparked by these sounds?

@splinedrive There is truth in this. Most of code samples in O'Reilly "Programming Rust, 2nd Edition" don't compile anymore. Not great for trust in a langiage, when even textbook code ages like milk...

Anyone who truly loves computers and feels connected to them—who builds them and programs them—won’t use Rust. It’s ideological bullshit. The whole world is C and C++.

@r0ktech Underscores for spaces any day. I am not a fan of casing tricks for spaces, especially when you want to use acronyms in an identifier.

as a developer, which one do you prefer?

Going through a box of floppies to check which still work and which don't. I'll keep just a few working ones to work in the Amiga and Alpha, dump the bad ones and donate the remaining working ones to Re-PC.
