Thank you very much for pointing this out! Fortunately I still have the code locally. I'll try to raise another PR to get 6303 support into Ghidra.

I've spent a lot of time reverse-engineering vintage synthesizer firmware (which is a bit simpler than modern games). I did complete end-to-end annotations of these two vintage synth ROMs: - https://github.com/ajxs&#x2F

I've never worked in aerospace, however I'm interested in safety-critical software engineering, and I've written a lot of Ada (and written about my experiences with it too). My understanding is that yes you can write safety

I did see this article when I was researching, but it's incorrect. You can find references to the HD44780 in earlier catalogs. The earliest reference I can find is 1981: https://archive.org/details/Hitachi-DotMarix

It's really fortunate that the history of the 555 timer is really well documented. Its inventor, Hans Camenzind, wrote several books, and even had a Youtube channel in his later years[1]. It's a shame that so many iconic chips tha

One disadvantage that I don't think I've seen anyone mention so far: You need to use an in-band value to represent the absence of a node. That may or may not be a problem for your particular implementation.

Thank you for sharing this! I'd love to know more about what led them to develop their own CPU, and what the instruction set looks like. It looks like AdaCore actually merged their support for VISIUMCore into upstream GCC. The slides s

We wouldn't even need anything as complex as XSLT, or a functional language for transforming JSON. Other markup-based template processing systems exist for higher-level languages like Pug, Mustache, etc. for Node.js. You could achieve

The core concept behind XSLT is evergreen: Being able to programmatically transform the results of a HTTP request into a document with native tools is still useful. I don't foresee any equivalent native framework for styling JSON ever

This was already the case in Australia as early as 2003. I distinctly remember being shocked that I had to provide ID when I bought a phone from a store for the first time.

Lots of sources online say it was shot on the disused platform at St James, but that was the subway scene in the second film. Some sources say it was shot at a freight siding at White Bay. If that's true then the actual station must

We call them 'pedestrian crossings' down under! It's been sampled in a few songs actually. The sound is so ingrained in our psyche that you recognise it instantly.

Very cool! I knew all of them, except for the two hotel locations! Sydney's inner city has changed a lot in the intervening years. It's surreal revisiting that Castlereigh St shot in the film, and seeing how undeveloped it looks i

Operating systems have gotten a whole lot more reliable since Windows 95. The way I remember it, Windows 98 would regularly corrupt itself and need to be manually reinstalled. I'd done it so many times that I could pretty much recite

Where do I input the yearly growth of the property's value? Property prices where I live in Sydney have grown ~7% on average over the last ten years. That's higher than the average loan interest rate over the last ten years of ~4.

Would that be from Perth? Perth is around 180km away. Cervantes and Jurien Bay are nearby towns that could account for that light pollution.

It doesn't cause any problems. I used the phrase for poetic flourish. Aside from the general rough treatment of being quickly unpacked and packed again in a hurry. In the past there were a lot of urban legends going around about airpor
