There are electronic versions of 2-1 switches that also just connect the data lines through, no hub, but use electronic switches rather than multi-pole mechanical switches (they naturally work bidirectionally, so you can switch a computer b

I was disappointed that it didn't catch me editing the HTML when I tried changing the button's class to button2 or adding other classes. I wanted it to call me out when I clicked after that edit.

It's the same issue you encounter with audio mixing. You have to clamp out-of-range values, even though they don't occur a lot. If you don't you get awful artifacts, and have to lower everything so that it can never overflow

Another gem to avoid using a tiny phone screen even more. Worked with my old LG V20 (Android 8.0). Perfectly smooth over USB 2.0. Reasonably smooth over Wi-Fi (adb tcpip 5555 while USB is connected, then scrcpy --tcpip=192.168.1.xxx_ wirele

So you don't lose any of the protections, just are allowed the option of running anyway (or backing out and NOT running it after getting the warning)?

Such an RNG would be great for playing your 2^32 song collection, since you'd never hear the same song twice within a given time through.

It still needs to be relocatable because even VM can't allow two modules to occupy the same address range and run at the same time.

I also found the 6502 far more enjoyable. It feels like a refined, minimal design, since the Z-80 does bolt things on to the 8080 (which I've also coded a lot for, also not as enjoyable). There tends to be one straight-forward way to c

Apparently he agreed with me because he's eliminated that question and wording, with no trace I can find of what I quoted. The other language is irrelevant to what I quoted.

If any program I used moved my mouse pointer regularly, I'd quit using it. This is right up there with programs that move UI elements around or pop them up as I'm trying to interact, causing the wrong actions to occur.
