It's simple. It doesn't fit in with the rest of the defamatory narrative they were just itching to write for the rest of the article. Either that, or they simply didn't know. But I find the latter hard to believe. Even if tha

Existing is one thing. Adoption is something else entirely.

After decapping an IC, an experienced eye can usually identify patterns and make educated guesses at what each module in a circuit does, at least at a very high level. This can be helpful in and of itself, without diving into an exact under

Not yet! I have a bit of work to do before trying to show this project. There's a MENTAL-2 being built right now, and a few software tools I need to clean up. Hoping to get it up to at least 1MHz.

Slick work! I've been on the hunt for similar projects to compare approaches, but I haven't find many implementations outside of FPGAs. I like the approach for handling [ and ]. My design is "dumb" in the sense that it u

Watching Ben's videos inspired me to finally assemble my Brainfuck-based CPU. That is to say, its native instruction set is Brainfuck. https://hackaday.io/project/4237-mental-1-a-brainfuck-cpu/lo... And a mor

Does the internet archive not suffice? That's the most coordinated, well known long-term preservation effort I know of. You can upload media, the foundation isn't just for archiving websites.

Second the default tools. The open source tools are really cool, but especially if you're just starting out, the proprietary tools are much gentler in helping you debug your own mistakes.

To be fair, it seems like it would be very difficult to guarantee you own the account without access to your email or phone number.

Well, compared to Atom, yes. Two somewhat similar tools with trade offs between them, one of them being speed.

It's funny you mention switching from Windows to MacOS for the command line tools. I booted up a pre-NeXT Mac (an iBook with OS9) the other day, and was blown away to learn that there is no terminal at all! How quickly things changed a

The useful features of hardware are emulated. The quirky edge cases, unused opcodes, and more esoteric features are often left out. The programming oversights in the game logic will remain, but the behavior can sometimes vary when you get t

Yep! There were a number of 64 titles released this way. Pretty sure older games made an appearance as well.

They weren't actively against Project M. For the most part, they turned a blind eye to it. It's just in a bit of a legal grey area that makes it the elephant in the room. It definitely provided insight to the competitive scene, bu

What if you made community contribution a limited resource? Continuing the reddit example. You could limit contribution by three routes: 1) Limiting the number of posts. For example, 3 posts per week, max. 2) Limiting the visibility of post

Really, the only reason it's creepy is because it actualizes the difference between what a user thinks the location services know, and what they actually know. Your phone pretty much always knows roughly where you are, it usually just

This is more a plug for the EFF than it is for a product, but these camera stickers have served me well and helped strike up a healthy conversation about privacy - https://supporters.eff.org/shop/laptop-camera-cover-set
