The game operation (the ROM code) itself probably. MAME emulates CPU, various hardware components (which themselves were reversed).... except for a few exceptions, the game ROMs themselves aren't fully reversed.

This is also consistent with Boolean algebra where the empty sum is 0 (any), and the empty product is 1 (all).

In reality this is the effect of trickle up economics. Ie the upper class relies on extracting wealth from the bottom mostly through labor. This is a fight for their own survival.

> memset(&a, 0, sizeof(char) * 2); The example is sizeof(char)*2, not sizeof(a). If there is any padding at all the example as given will not guarantee zeroing out everything. Not sure what that has to do with unsigned vs signed.

Wonder where you got that information from, since CP/M is older than VMS by like 3 years. Can’t be... wonder where this keeps cropping up. Besides CPM filesystem wasn’t hierarchical.

The story goes that Microsoft advocated for a UNIX like path separator for DOS, and it was probably IBM that pushed for the backslash so that they wouldn’t be confused with the option switch character. In any event, blaming Windows for this

That reinvention happened years ago, and it is in the likes of things such as Citrix -- which has existed for years now. It is used widely in industries outside of software development.

Agree to disagree then. X is shit. I remember first reading that chapter in 1998, and it resonated then just as well as it does now. X is shit. It is the weirdest abstraction of network "transparency" which inevitably manages to r

With server side font rendering all but forgotten among other things, any modern app will struggle over a low bandwidth link well. And X has always been crap for latency, even with xcb, it ends up being very round-trip heavy. Modern technol

If you’re concerned about a close match, this is unlikely to give satisfactory results. Take your samples to a good paint store. Those machines are more sophisticated then you may think.

No this seems appropriate. And isn’t too far off from project ideals. The somewhat retconned* argument for using C for GTK+ was that it was the most easy to produce bindings for. This was in the FAQ years ago as a mild discouragement from a

MRIs are actually very expensive. Like they are just expensive... even in Europe. They’re costly to own and operate and maintain correctly.. just the labor alone. Unless you’re willing to pay out of pocket, I don’t see a problem with exhau

Sure you can. With a developer account nothing is stopping you from running a compiler on your device. You don’t need root or jailbreak to run a compiler. As other poster alluded to. It’s not the difficulty, it’s that given the environment

You probably wouldn’t migrate usr/bin across architectures? Just reinstall brew packages for the correct architecture.

uhh.. most brew shit is built from source, for which prebuilt binaries are often available. You’d just brew as usual building from source or prebuilt arm packages would be provided as usual.

Not sure how this is related. A general purpose allocator with a plain malloc interface can’t use this to do anything useful wrt lifetime because there is no correlation to lifetime provided by the interface. Internal arenas can be useful t
