Initially I read this: "Write your own operating system". OS... with F#? I almost fell out of my chair :p

gaps means "the lesser-known figures"

Cool ASCI art-based design. Hmm... perhaps I'll take some ideas from it for my own website :D

Ah ARM. Nice.

Menuet (and Kolibri) are most likely the only OSes written in asm which are still under active development until today...

What's your recommendation material for first course? Strang, perhaps? I used Howard Anton's.

Amusing title. And by skimming at the table of contents, guess that's how I learnt linear algebra many years ago as an undergrad student. Guess I need to re-learn it again.

I think the last time I played the game was in 1280x800, and it's pretty readable.

Seems like it's closed source, and Windows/Linux only? Time to setup Wine again, I guess.

OK. Gotta give it a try.

Well, Uplink was certainly a very fun game for me. Played it around 2003-2006ish. I remember a quick way to increase your rank was by hacking the international crime database and put many hackers into prison. Hehe good old times. Definitely

Medium format film cameras like Rolleiflex or Mamiya C. Well, considering the price of used Fuji GFX50S (or SII) is gradually decreasing, perhaps one day I'm done with film.

perhaps for running whatever non Linux/BSD OSes like DOS or those homebrew OSes ?

Being able to easily access host files? Well... let's give it a try. Then perhaps I can ditch VirtualBox happily.

As a mobile app developer (Android Studio, XCode) etc, I definitely still like the idea of tablet as laptop replacement. So for, I see in general tablet are mostly used for: - content consumption (Youtube, Netflix, etc) - email and MS offic

Any recommendation on open source alternative?

These days, I mostly use WezTerm on MacOS. And ocassionaly iTerm2. iTerm2 is slow? Man I guess I'm not a heavy command line user. I mosty open 5 or 6 tabs. tmux? Very very rarely.

I wonder if this article is somehow related: " https://www.gamesindustry.biz/machine-code-is-for-kids-artic... " TLDR: The author (a game developer who started with BASIC on ZX Spectrum in the 80s) asked if there&#x

Wait a second. .. .. A table top board game... which involves assembly coding? Why I never think about this before? :D

CoreWar is definitely one of ideal programming games (since I like assembly coding). Not many games like it these days, unfortunately, perhaps the closest one is Zachtronics' TIS-100.

Ah, I forget Wine. Will try it. And the Rosco thing looks interesting. Too bad it's out of stock. Perhaps need to add that into my wishlist :)

Any recommendation on good textbooks? Now I'm reading Eugenia Cheng's Beyond Infinity. I'm aware this is not textbook though, more like popular math book.

Something like Easy68K (68K assembler/simulator) for macOS?

I did an unscientific comparison more than 1 decade ago... yep D was pretty fast (at least compared to g++). Of course FPC was faster. BTW, there are several D compilers: - DMD (the de-facto compiler written by Walter). Previously written i

I learnt D (D1 to be precise) out of curiosity in... 2005 or 2006. At that time, there's only 1 compiler: DMD (no GDC/LDC yet), and there was the tango/phobos fragmentation. I think my intention at that time was looking for a

My POV: Rust for OS kernel programming, e.g https://github.com/dancrossnyc/rxv64 And go for practically anything outside that scope: web service, CLI tool, etc.

Nicely formatted PDFs there. Bookmarked :D
