Flagged this submission for that very reason.

There are inconsistencies, to be sure, for both sides. I guess it mostly depends which you grew up with, or were otherwise exposed to first, which determines which one makes most sense to you.

You can find (compilable) versions of CP/M on github hosted by many people. I've referred to them a fair bit in recent times as I've been fighting to get my golang CP/M emulator wo…

Indeed. His post says: It’s trivial to create malformed Markdown syntax That's because his specification is loose, and there are no test-cases nor updates to clarify ambiguities.…

Some times they get so many (often low-quality) applicants they just bin hundreds at a time for arbitrary reasons. Other times the jobs were never real, it's a "growth hack" like other …

I did the same thing, on the 48k Spectrum, a year or two later. I also remembered to add some NOPs between functions, to avoid me having to recalculate all the relative jump instructions if I made ch…

You can start way simpler than that, as forth won't need an AST or a complex parser. See this repository for a tutorial-approach to building a minimal forth-like language, in golang: https:/…

Author explained that by default if two files are the same size, and have the same modification date/time, that rsync will assume they're identical, WITHOUT CHECKING THAT. Author clarifies t…

Sadly I seem to have kindles which suffer from increasing numbers of stuck pixels after 3-5 years. I think I'm on my third now, and while I kinda begrudge buying new ones the paper-white I'v…

How does it compare to the existing open-source boards, such as: https://wekan.github.io/ https://taiga.io/ https://kanboard.org/ …

Indeed running a vintage, closed-source, binary under an emulator it's hard to see what it is trying to do, short of decompiling it, and understanding it. Then I can use that knowledge to impro…

I wrote a summary of my issue on a github comment, and I guess I will try again https://github.com/skx/cpmulator/issues/234#issuecomment-291... But I'm not optimis…

It comes back to the nature of the work; I've got a hobby project which is basically an emulator of CP/M, a system from the 70s, and there is a bug in it. My emulator runs BBC Basic, Zork, T…

I've been forced to use linear a fair bit recently and I have to say it's a mess of client-side javascript that often gets itself into a weird state. For example open five tabs, each pointin…

There was a while where I had a complex lookup system Apple got "strawberry.cake@example.com", and posting to mailing lists were sent from "steve@12.2025.example.com" - which would…

I remember that tutorial fondly. I played around with kilo when it was released, and eventually made a multi-buffer version with support for scripting with embedded Lua. Of course it was just a fun …

Yes it really does suck - apparently I've been breached numerous times but I can't see details without paying.

Like many people I have a "main" email address, and I use per-company addresses for almost everything else. Now that the domain-searches require subscriptions this site has become much less…

Custom hardware running CP/M :)

I continue to run Turbo Pascal on a Z80-based machine, with 64k of RAM. A pentium would be luxury!

Once again people post in the "community", but nobody official replies; these discussion-pages are just users shouting into the void.

There was a nice post here recently about speeding up interpreters via closure-based interpreter: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43595283 I hacked up a toy brainfuck interpreter…

The number of emails I get "Your website is vulnerable to clickjacking attacks, PS. how much bounty have I earned?" suggests that there are many for whom a desire for literal rewards is thei…

I'm spending some time this evening debugging a failure I have with an emulator I've written - it emulates a system running a Z80 processor with 64k of RAM. Sometimes I too take a step back …

I copied the same idea in my static collection of sysadmin utilities: https://github.com/skx/sysbox/

I have everything possible set to English, yet when searching for street-names or other random things I get shown Finnish about fifty percent of the time. A "change to English" popup sometim…

Sadly your incantation fails for me - I've been fighting this issue for years. If I copy and paste your search-link but change the word from "hedgehog" to äiti I get back a page of Finn…
