> and apply a mask before using it for memory accesses So it never goes onto the address bus. So it never causes an addressing issue. The 24-bit issue of the 68000 is fundamentally different. Those tagged 32-bit pointers were used direc

It's worth going into why the two CPUs. Basically, the original 68000 isn't capable of atomically restarting an instruction interrupted during a memory access cycle, and so there's no way to implement a standard MMU. So Apoll

Super late, but I think a good approach would be to use an issue/work tracker of really any flavor (even manually), log all of your to-do headings as issues, and then just name each branch after the associated issue/job number.

It's kind of interesting, when you compare WinAPI to classic Mac Toolbox, how incredibly similar their core concepts are. Especially when you take into account that the first GUI application MS made was Excel for the Macintosh. And the

I've been playing around with VMS on my MicroVAX 3800 lately, and between that and getting into Windows internals I'm just super fascinated by the difference in feel, when it comes to what the system-level APIs provide, of these h

Most ideas in CS are old as dirt. There was a flurry of theory advancements mid-century and a lot of work since then has been putting those ideas into practice.

It's inertia. Among other things, the much higher inertia of the broomstick has a damping effect on changes in its motion.

In what way? Regardless of whether they're using CI they still have to pull and mainline your change.

Wow, so I just decided to do some digging because I hadn't heard about this and I wanted to educate myself. Literally the only thing I can find that paints that transcript in remotely the light you're implying is an absolutely gar

Am I old? Everyone's talking about whether this new 'cheese grater' name will take off. But that's what we called the old aluminum case since the G5.

Who on earth is moving from the well-typed, statically compiled world of C# to some dynamic scripting language? I mean, not to besmirch the merits of scripting languages, but C# and, ex, JS excel in very different domains.

There's a major gap between 'technically superior' and 'subjectively superior'. You sound pretty out of touch here in a time when LPs and casettes have made a comeback, chiptunes are pretty hip, some artists have li

I think his point was that it would be a bit silly to put this kind of solution into a product -- which is, in a word: jank -- when capacitive touchscreens are already a tried and true solution in production devices.

Even then, isn't the 'capacitive sensor' just a conductive coating on the glass?
