Interesting read. I have a lot of respect for people who develop emulator for x86 processors. It is a complicated processor and from first hand experience I know that developing and debugging emulators for CPU's can be very challenging

How could it have been stopped diplomatically? When Russia took Crimea in 2014, the western world include the USA did nothing except for some rather symbolic sanctions. Before the invasion of 2022, not a single threat was expressed. There w

Most of that money has been spend in the US and to replace old stocks of munition. I also guess that European countries (who have contributed together even more when including civilian support) are buying a lot of weapons from the US. The w

It is indeed a hard question that one could also apply to humans. There is no way to know if someone else is conscious. It might be obvious for all people, but what about babies or people with advanced stages with dementia or certain types

strace is a rather powerfull tool if you want to find out what a certain executable is doing. Which files it is opening, reading and writing and also which other executables it is executing. I personally have not used the '--stack-trac

Took me some time to find my notes and it turned out it was actually based on an bit higher version of the 7-segment display: It uses four horizontal lines and three vertical ones. I spend some time writing some JavaScript to display the t

I once spend some time on a very compact writing system that would use five of the segments of the seven segment display (not using the two vertical segments on the right) and use those for the next letter in the word. With the requirement

The 'introduction' mentions Hans Walter Gabler’s book 'Critical and Synoptic Edition' (in 3 volumes) that compares all the different editions and notes all the (often small) differences. I feel it typically a book that w

Clean room design [1] comes down to one team reverse engineering the code and translate that to some high-level specification and let another team write the code based on that high-level specification. This still allows the use of a decompi

I wonder if they use any of the decompiler tools that are available. There is decompiler support for the Xtensa esp32 instruction in ghidra version 11.0. I also guess that rev.ng, which uses QEMU as its disassembler, could be used for decom

I understand that the inspiration for this talk comes from the fact that Doom is using 3.141592657 instead of the correct 3.141592654 in the source code. John Carmack admits that he incorrectly recalled the ten digit op pi.

I think it is important to realize that relational, object-oriented and structured data (such as XML and JSON) are all implementation of an often far more richer data model. Would it not be better to implement something for the richer data

From what I heard about the SMART-L [1] radar around 1990, it could spot reflective objects the size of tennis balls at a distance of about 100Km. I guess with modern electronics and DSP, a much smaller system must be able to detect drones

Immigrants get a 30% tax break, meaning that they only have to pay income taxes over 70% of their income. For the average income of people working at ASML, I guess that they have to pay about 30% taxes. It basically means that ASML can pay
