That was mostly a "tongue in cheek" joke : ) What I meant was that the code base is overwhelming both because it has some years on top and I don't like/understand lisp that much

As an Emacs user for ~10 years the greatest deterrent is it being single-threaded and lisp. I just can't understand the love for it. I've spent countless hours customizing my own configuration and I just can't enjoy lisp. Ema

> History is repeating. Instead of investing into hard work and portability with programmers, the management decides to take the short part which looks cheap. I agree with this point of view for bigger companies that do chat and music st

It's an absolute mess of a software, to get running and if you're not paying attention you'll install 15+GB of packages you won't need. I've helped some friends with c++ assignments during college and with ROS they

This is the same for me barring the walking. Usually I'm at my best focus in front of a whiteboard and talking to myself out loud, because walking distracts me. I work in a busy office where there's a lot of noise (which I'm

While programming I don't need to be creative all the time. I find it very pleasing to understand how this systems work and emulate them. I do confess though, that after a while and after understanding them some Opcode families can get

Perfect, thank you. I've been using this image but only to cross-check the opcodes values and what they meant.

The mooneye-gb project is the one I've been checking the most to make sure I'm getting things correctly. His work is massive regarding the game boy.

I've been developing a Game Boy emulator with a friend as well, and struggling a lot with the poor documentation. There's a very thorough PDF with lots of information online but when it comes to Opcodes (and cpu flags) it's q

And Musk and his team (and I believe many others) are qualified enough to present other, engineering, alternatives parallel to the main one. Why shouldn't they? Why is that seen as attention-grabbing?

Nop, not because of Elon Musk per se. I would have lost my judgment and go "ad-hominem" if it was another person as well. I just hate the argument "He's just helping for PR, while I seat my ass doing nothing" You co

"think it's good that Musk tried to help, but the publicity he got..." If he got all that publicity, then hate the newspapers who kept giving it to him, not the guy who was just happy to help. He probably kept tweeting becau
