Wait we’re teaching kids to write performant assembly language?
- BlueTemplar 3y agoYeah, there's another thing that is bugging me a bit about all this... 8-bit basically means ASCII when you deal with text (doesn't it ?) - how do you teach middle-schoolers that don't use a latin-based alphabet in their native tongue ??
- tayo42 3y agoDoesn't 8 bit of just mean the size of the possible address space. When you encode something more complex then ascii you use 1-4 consecutive bytes, the encoding in the byte tells you if you need to look at the next.
