I hate how much emphasis is put on economic value. I love math because of how beautiful it is. I went to uni for math but ended up switching to theatre because of how it was taught as just a means to an end rather than an art form in itself

During my freshman year of college, I was in a general chemistry class. Halfway through the semester I wrote a little Python script that encoded mass of a whole bunch of (not all of) elements and wrote some functions to calculate mass of co

Yes - all of my grandparents are immunocompromised so I want to be very careful around them. Not to mention it will probably be a requirement on college campuses once it becomes generally available.

Love this - I actually started implementing these circuits in C [0] a while back but never got past combined memory. [0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23672470

I'm teaching myself some JavaScript with this project. Please feel free to make suggestions. I know I should modularize it (is that a word?) but alas, being new to JavaScript I don't yet know how to do that. I also know that ideal

Hey, thanks for the recommendations! I'll definitely look into the AVR instruction set. I'm not opposed to multibyte instructions but I'm trying for 8-bit instructions. I'm actually planning to use a special register tha

Thanks for the recommendations. I've briefly looked at the 6502 instruction set. Part of the problem is that most of those real-world CPUs use multibyte instructions, which I'm not opposed to, but I'm not sure how to actually

Yeah, I know since it's gate-level it will be slow (and it's already been tedious to code) but I wanted to get a better sense of how certain components actually worked. Multibyte RAM, for example, is not demonstrated in the NandGa

This is pretty cool. I actually remember reading your article a few months back. Once I'm finished with the actual computer I might try to write something with Xlib render a terminal and maybe even a GUI for the OS (unless anyone has a

It's not quite done. I'm still working on the memory components and the instruction set. Feel free to uncomment the testing functions in test.c to see the other components. Also feel free to give advice on ALU and instruction set

Cellular Automata got me into computing a few years ago - it's amazing how the Game of Life and other CA's are Turing Complete. So many people will miss him.
