Genuine question: why do you ask?

I believe PSX was originally originally used by Sony as a codename for the PlayStation; not sure whether it was referred to as such externally by them. I think I remember gaming magazines at the time before the PS1s release referring to it

Interesting! I wonder why they didn't include x86_64. Doesn't seem likely to be problematic since it supports PPC64 and ARM64. Edit: answered my own question by reading the actual page — "Unlike done in previous project, neto

Just fyi: if you’re viewing the PDF in Safari on your iPad, you can search by typing into Safari’s Location Bar and then choosing “Find ‘xyz’” from the popup that appears.

I don't think it was likely to damage the display (though, yeah, it feels iffy), but there's just something about having to exert force when you're used to lightly tapping that just feels … burdensome. No less burdensome than

Do you know how they were able to steal it without the alarm going off?

Because it's still a motivating number that has rules around it (even if they're loosely-enforced), which my monkey brain finds appealing to make go up. If I knew it was _completely_ meaningless—say, if I knew it were impossible t

The downer is that every function call in this system has only string parameters.

Thank you for writing it up!

Would love to see supporting evidence for this. That’s a great little tidbit if true.

Love those kinds of games. Don’t miss [Ivan "Ironman" Stewart's] Super Off Road and its spiritual sequel (which I only just found out about the other day!), Danny Sullivan’s Indy Heat.

YouTube video of this program. Not sure what hardware (or emulation) it's running on but it doesn't appear buggy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRnHzt7X0OE

Huh, all those chips had an "80" in their name somewhere.

It blows my mind how common taking a silly tone in error messages has become. It's _exactly_ the time the user shouldn't get the impression that you're taking a haha oh well attitude.

Aw geez one more reason to want one of those things…

The early PS/2 line, at least, would still boot into BASIC, if I remember correctly. I'm fairly certain my Model 70 386 would do so, but I can't remember if I had to disconnect the hard disk or what. Anyway, I definitely reme

And, on top of that, how much confidence do you have that your brand new code doesn’t introduce more security issues than the ancient “battle-tested” code?

I have to imagine the development process is a lot better, too. Compile with your 3 GHz processor, launch into it in your emulator… quick feedback loop. (Or maybe this kind of development is still done on the real hardware?)

Nice work, congrats! I think the most surprising thing to me is the lack of interrupts. If you read this, jstanley: did you struggle much with that decision? I think of interrupts as nearly universally available on 8-bit micros, much less 1

Believe the Max also has twice the memory bandwidth as the Pro. EDIT, upon reading the bottom part of the first page of the linked article: And double the cache, more cores on the Neural Engine, and maybe doubled media processing, assuming

Has it really? (Totally honest question, I don't follow that space well.) If Some Random Company is starting a new Android app today, is it more likely to be in Kotlin than Java? That's cool, if so.

Any idea what nudged them toward spending their time in shared spaces? It’s been a while, but I remember working in buildings where most employees had offices (or, at least, cubicles) and they mostly used those instead of shared spaces.

In the spirit of the project I'm surprised you didn't pick "Red" because it's one fewer characters. :)
