Or just throw modern web app development with its insane ways of trying to work around the fast that JS is a broken paradigm and start over. Develop a good vm that can either be part of the browser or can be easily launched from it and get

Sure, but the point is that you can't treat a zero page address like a register. There's a LDA, LDX, LDY, but no way to load directly to a zero page address. You have to load a real register, then store it in the ZP address. Zer

It's really not a bunch of registers though... If you could so something like LD[$0f] #65 - then yeah, you have registers. But you can't do that sort of thing with zero page. You'd still need to do: LDA #65 STA $0f

The 65816 is a pain to code for. It has what's basically a segmented memory architecture with only two segment registers: D (data bank) and P (program bank). You can't just make a 24-bit pointer w/o doing things using the di

And you'd have to spend a ton of time porting to each target system. OTOH, the Z80 is better for this, because you can at least get CP/M up and running with a minimum of trouble.

Exactly. I've been using Java since 2000, and I haven't once written an AbstractFactoryFactoryService. To be fair, I skipped over early versions of Spring.

Then why does this sort of thing keep happening? This is another reason why police officers should be required to carry malpractice insurance, that they pay for.

This kind of nonsense is very much on brand for the Cleveland PD.

But why? What is there to be gained in all of this work around the inherent limitations of this technology?

Yeah, I don't want a streaming app. I just want to be able to easily play the music I already have.

No. Just what, two years ago, no one was really using LLMs to do this sort of thing? Why do we suddenly have to use these tools now? If your job is to write software, then you're the accountant or lawyer or doctor. Otherwise, wh

Well, there's also the 4.3 million US autoworkers who'd ultimately be the ones to get shafted. I don't think we can keep killing off entire industries and expect it to work out in the long run. At some point, what's lef

The Bolt isn't exactly a good looking car though. It might sound silly, but not everyone looks at things through a utilitarian view.

Out of curiosity, how long are those trips though? In the US and probably Canada, there's an expectation that spending 8 hours in one day going somewhere is easily doable. (as in 800 km in 8 hours with a few 10-30 minute breaks for ga
