Yeah, in both TIS-100 and Shenzhen I/O the limits on number of instructions on a processor is probably the main thing keeping it from getting boring with straightforward implementations. Which works very well for me as a player!

The Wikipedia article has a section "Reed & Solomon's original view: The codeword as a sequence of values" which I think is fairly easy to follow. The fundamental idea is a polynomial of degree n is uniquely described by

As sagethesagesage said [1], you're protecting the user from having their browser pass the user's data from your site to a malicious site. The attacker shouldn't be able to make the user run an old, vulnerable browser. [1]

The article in question mentions they reported essentially the same bug in IBM solidDB [1], and I recall that the first big break in Nintendo Wii application signing [2] was similar. [1] http://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advi

Here's a direct link to that prediction: http://rw.runnersworld.com/sub-2/ Lots of data, but I don't see how the 2075 date is calculated, is it just an intuitive guess?

Default bugzilla search doesn't include resolved, verified, and closed bugs. That said, I only found one slightly relevant, which was resolved invalid, saying the env var should be used: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla&#x2

I agree with your approach, one suggestion: If you're using struct to introduce product, does it make sense to use union to explain sum? Although maybe that's too complicated given the need to tag it?

Irrelevant anecdote: I first saw that radial evolution chart while wandering the UT Austin campus, I think it was in a lobby, though I remember it being dominated by bacteria. Interesting to think that might have been Hillis's lab.

The cartridge just plugs directly into the CPU, essentially every game provides its own BIOS. You can only get away with this with systems where software is provided on pluggable ROMs, Fairchild Channel F being the first video game example

BIOS ROMs can be copyrighted, without which a system won't work, though they can be reverse engineered in a legally defensible way. An interesting read on the history of computer cloning here: http://www.filfre.net/2014

IANAL, but: Someone else can do it with the legitimate copy you own, e.g. I take my cartridge to the copy shop and the tech copies it to a floppy for me. The fact that someone online could send me exactly the same data is irrelevant. Legall

Dictionaries both started and ended the need to memorize correct spelling.

In some sense that seems to be true. But I just meant that while it's easy to make a reversible circuit, no tech we have today can make it as energy efficient as might be theoretically possible.

> Does it imply the computer would not give off heat? The implication goes the other way: if the computer does not give off heat, it must be reversible.

Sorting is not reversible, at least if your output is no larger than your input. [0,1] and [1,0] both sort to [0,1], so you'd already need 1 extra bit to unsort 2 bits. I don't see how it would help anyway, but maybe I'm misu

The word, at least, was coined [1] by Ted Nelson, published 1965. The idea goes back at least to Vennevar Bush's Memex proposal [2] in 1945. I haven't heard Kay mentioned as an early proponent of hypertext, I'd be interested

The title of the video is "Viewpoint demo" or "Viewpoint: Toward a computer for visual thinkers", (1987) is also appropriate. It's a strange interface for a graphics/text editor, lots of weird features in the b

Got a 404 on the above, looks like it should be: https://www.sourceclear.com/blog/millions-of-program-builds-... But I don't see where it discusses sending PRs to affected repos, only detecting them.

You might find Perelman et al's "Test-Driven Synthesis" paper interesting, it also cites that post as inspiration. http://homes.cs.washington.edu/~djg/papers/tds-pldi2014.pdf
