Relevant aside: while the Ryujinx Avalonia UI has more features and is generally nicer, due to a small number of outstanding issues, Ryujinx uses an older GTK+ UI in its default builds. Avalonia builds are, however, readily available with e

This is true; at one point, there was even an instruction that deleted the untranslated code ("program template") to save disk space, https://bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/system38/GA21-9331-1_System_38...

Incidentally, the term "microcode" for the OS kernel originated with the AS/400's predecessor, the System/38, because, as a legacy of '60s-era lawsuits, it was IBM's policy at the time to separate hardware

IANAL, but even if we assume the act of backing up a DVD to hard drive is legal, it's not clear to me how one could legally use the resulting copy without somehow circumventing CSS. And with only narrow exceptions that probably don&#

While the CD data format is defined in terms of constant linear velocity[1], and CD data is always written at a fixed linear density (plus or minus a small margin of error), some drives are, under ideal conditions, capable of both reading a

Correct — many cars before the DeLorean had gull-wing doors[1], Lamborghini-style scissor doors[2] also predate the DeLorean by many years, and AFAIK, both of these door styles are still available on production vehicles today. The most inte

Probably, unless you need to share LibDependency data structures between 1.0.0 and 2.0.0, in which case, it depends on the implementation of LibDependency. Rather than trying to do this at the language level with namespaces or whatever, it&

As a practical example, POWER architecture uses the densely-packed decimal encoding[1] to encode decimal digits within its IEEE 754-compliant decimal floating-point format[2]. IEEE 754 also supports encoding decimal integers as binary, by c

That's not unusual for a CISC instruction set; even x86 has rudimentary decimal (BCD and ASCII) arithmetic support. Modern z/Architecture (64-bit 360/370/390 successor) has instructions to convert numbers between EBCDIC,

IBM 3590 and 3592 SCSI drives support the "READ REVERSE" SCSI command[1] which (in variable-block transfer mode) is equivalent to the "READ BACKWARD" channel command. For application details, see Knuth volume 3 [2], whic
