Looks like v86 doesn’t implement the INT 3 (0xCC) opcode, which the debuggers use to step through: https://github.com/copy/v86/discussions/653

I think the UI is just confusing. T means „execute the instruction at CS:IP, advance IP and display the next instruction to execute”. So the first T executes the first instruction but displays the second.

I tried in DOSBox. It was years ago, so I don’t remember all the details. Maybe it’s a DOSBox issue that has since been fixed!

Ooh, I used to play around a lot with DEBUG.EXE when I was like 12. To this day, almost without looking at the keyboard, I can enter some assembly that enters Mode 13h and draws stuff on screen. These days, I sometimes play with it to debug

I just noticed that it overlaps with „Practical Typography” ( https://practicaltypography.com/ ) to a large extent. So much so that I’d consider them two flavours of the same book, rather than two separate ones. Also, if you

I’ve bought myself a reMarkable 2 with the approach that „I’m just getting an expensive toy” (ie not an everyday work tool, just a nice gizmo). And it’s been great, if a bit pricey. (On the flip side, I have a free subscription.) Some thing

It is open-source already (MIT)! I just need to make other languages more easily pluggable, and factor out the search engine so that it can be used on its own. :)

I've written a full-text search engine as well. I don't tout it as a replacement for Elasticsearch, but it does have a few advantages: it's fast; supports HTML documents; supports Polish inflection (via a full-blown morpholog

Comments like this are what make me come back to HN. I hope the memories are kept alive.

I thought “what a weird name”, then silently pronounced it and my Polish ear heard “drzewko”, meaning “little tree”. What a fitting name. :)

Not only are there a lot of Google closures, they even have a closure compiler to optimize them away.

There’s a neon museum in Warsaw, Poland. Worth a visit if you’re in town, especially after sunset.

There are ways we as a society could endorse these kinds of libraries while also keeping authors incentivized. Here’s how I see it: https://blog.danieljanus.pl/2022/09/24/paying-for-books/

I’ll piggyback on this to show something I made: autosummarized HN. https://danieljanus.pl/autosummarized-hn/ I originally intended to run it for a month only, but when OpenAI slashed prices at the beginning of Septemb

Also, do yourself a favor and read the Inform Designer’s Manual, Edition 4. It’s dated (I think it came out in 1998) and pertains to Inform version 6, but it is still very relevant (modern Inform uses I6 under the hood), and it’s a lovely p

OP here – I got it second-hand, from a guy who ordered it directly from GPD as a note-taking device but it didn’t work out for him.

OP here. I’ll leave ‘The article...’ for now, as my idea was to show off what GPT-3 does when you tell it to summarize, without editorializing. Your second point is addressed in the FAQ: it is actually being called by a cron job, but I need

Windows Commander was the former name of Total Commander. It changed the name in 2002 after Christian Ghisler received a cease-and-desist letter about trademark usage from Microsoft.

Reminds me of John Stump’s “Faerie’s Aire and Death Waltz”, with an insanely hilarious score.

I got myself a 1000HE (2 GB RAM, 160 GB HDD) in 2009, installed Ubuntu (was it Jaunty?) on it, and loved it. I got the slightly heavier one, with a 6-cell battery with uptime touted as 9.5hrs; in reality it was more like 6-7 hours, but stil

Reminds me of Stanisław Barańczak’s paraphrase of Hamlet’s soliloquy where every word on the first line starts with A, on the second with B, etc. Unfortunately, I’m afraid you need to understand Polish fluently to appreciate this: https:&#

I dream of a SQLite-like embeddable database engine based on Datomic’s data model and queryable with Datalog. Written in something like C, Rust, or Zig. I’m toying around with the idea of hacking something up, but it’ll likely stay in the d

Well, I can live with not blaming Dostoyevsky. But when I read Pushkin's "To the Slanderers of Russia", or Brodsky's "On the Independence of Ukraine", I can't help noticing the same mindset of entitlement
