Today, I am revising Portuguese grammar and so I've mostly been exploring the things I can remember well and those that I can't. Portuguese has a lot of verb forms that I need to get right. But it also has really interesting const

Huh. I would never have thought of "pile up dirty crockery until some later time" as an option!

Sadly, Scott Adams' political opinions came to overshadow Dilbert, but I shall choose to remember him as Dilbert's creator and how Dilbert captured a moment in time and work so aptly. Back when Dilbert was massive my company ran t

Nothing to apologize for; knowing I'd retired wasn't required reading to participate in HN :-) But thanks for the correction, and even more thanks for choosing me as your example!

Thanks, but doesn't look like that'll update the box on the main page that reads: "Who counts as a blogger? I explain more in my methodology page, but it’s basically anyone who blogs as an individual rather than as part of a

Neat. Hey, OP, can you update my bio though? I used to be CTO of Cloudflare but I retired last March[1] and the new CTO is Dane Knecht (dknecht here). Now I'm just a hoopy frood who knows where his towel is. [1] https://blog

Sure, but I didn't express myself clearly enough and HN was a great editor :-)

Yeah, makes total sense why they'd do it, but in my case it was increasing "alert fatigue" (why is my camera on?) and so I moved it.

For many years I've been trying to buy a cross section of an undersea cable to no avail. Anyone have any ideas where I might look?

I wasn't clear about what I meant by hovering: you touch the icon but then you move your finger somewhere else so the app never gets opened. I've edited the post to make this clearer.

by jgrahamc 10mo ago
Yes, maybe hover wasn't the best word.

What is this "LD A, 0" syntax? Is it a z80 thing? On the 6502 you had three instructions LDA, LDX, LDY where the register name is essentially part of the instruction name. On the Z80 you had a lot of "load" instruction

by jgrahamc 10mo ago
The 6502 instruction set was really limited but there were three registers: A, X, Y and there were immediate load instructions for each: LDA #0, LDX #0, LDY #0.

I am sad you don't believe this story. The CEO was very technical and this is exactly the sort of thing he would spot.

I started out writing machine code without an assembler and so had to hand assemble a lot of stuff. After a while you end up just knowing the common codes and can write your program directly. This was also useful because it was possible to
