FYI, the ZX Spectrum Next is still available for pre-order until the end of the year. The original run was a successful Kickstarter campaign, so I had enough confidence to pony up $325 pounds for one. It is beautiful and has a lot of modern conveniences like USB/HDMI/VGA/WiFi...etc. People still make new games too. It's a cool scene.
- acqq 6y agoThank you and please note who submitted this 4 days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25081121 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25081121 However the topic in this thread is that the properties of the random number generators discussed in 2020 were a part of the user manual of the home computer in 1982, and I find that totally amazing and inspiring. It is also explainable knowing who wrote both the ROM and the book, which I also mentioned.
