Interesting. Found this story: https://stackoverflow.com/a/8061758/254477 So, it has been ported to some weird platforms.

Isn't stack direction an ABI convention rather than language or processor limit? I mean if you are trying to run existing PDP-10 binaries (I don't know of any that are publicly available), sure. But just to get to the point that y

Does that matter? As long as system level instructions are emulated. I’m sure you could also whip up an FPGA if you wanted to. http://pdp10.froghouse.org/ http://www.fpgaretrocomputing.org/pdp10x/ htt

I’ve never understood people who enjoy the Diablo end-game but I love playing the games through for the story, vibe, and lore. The voice acting definitely contributes. The voice of Deckard Cain is instantly recognizable to me.

You don't have to. The producers of the microservice also produces an adapter. The adapter looks like a regular local service, but it implements the code as a REST request to another microservice. This was you get you type-safety. Gene

> Well...the -11 does have a super-clean assembly language. Sorry, I meant objectively better in an absolute sense. Just that it's not like the -11 is a sequel to the -10 like a 486 to a 386 is. But you are absolutely right, there a

For those not close to the PDP family, the numbers don't really mean anything. The 11 is not better than the 10 in any way, they are just the order in which they were released. The PDP-10 was not a mini-computer for which PDPs are gene

Absolutely not, but maybe there is a reason why we have used it for centuries? If you watch videos of people travelling to remote villages one of the first things that old timers do is offer them a drink. There is a value to a social lubric

I mean I feel like Java evolving has really eaten into Groovy. It used to offer so much more that Java 5, but over time it's value-add has diminished as Java has picked up features. It is essential for the language to stay relevant and

Do they ever rebuild things? Or just add features ontop of features till the whole thing creaks.

OpenSCAD is the default for me for 3D-printing parts and adapters for home since I can know the dimensions will be right.

Does anyone have metrics for some sort of benchmark per transistor? I wonder where the sweetspot is between something like these and SERV [1]. Obviously GPU wins on parallel math, but I wonder how much we are chasing in terms diminishing re

How people think that code is OOP when it has setters and getters, especially when then don’t do any validation is beyond me. It’s just transaction scripts.

The code that uses those frameworks often works with turns into spaghetti and meatballs. Spring has real OOP, but code that uses Spring turns into DTOs and repositories and services.

by Pet_Ant 2y ago
I think that is more descriptive and less prescriptive. I’ve never seen a codebase ever really use OOP in an enterprise setting. Just spaghetti and meatballs architecture. Meaty god objects “services” with long strings of structs.

The Phi is was many-core and not multi-core. It's a much harder paradigm to wrap your mind around. I do recommend learning about it for the new perspective. Try TIS-1000 by Zachtronics.

All this complexity, impressive, but still feels misguided. Nearly ten years ago Sun/Oracle put out the SPARC T7 that had 256 threads on a chip (October 26, 2015). x86 just managed that with the AMD Epyc 9754 (Jun 13, 2023). How did th

Sun waited till Solaris and SPARC were no longer relevant before releasing anything. It smelled of desperation.

One of the key factors is the increased migration for China and India. While people did emmigrate before, it was much lower. So effectively they were walled off into their own pocket. Now, most of my co-workers are immigrants from India. It

I mean, I guess that's the benefit of formal proofs? You don't need to "understand" it to know that it's true. Just going line-by-line and if checks out you are good. The notion of "understanding" gets the
