There are no error returns from an APC? The return type is void and the system expects the routine (whatever it is) to return: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winnt/nc... - which

My take on all of this stuff: 20 years ago, you were young. That's all there is to it. There is no alternative today, not for you at least, because you are no longer young. Whatever the corresponding phenomenon might actually be, it wi

If your spare time projects don't feel important, that means they aren't. So ignore them!

If the display is working and the input layout isn't changing, you shouldn't accept any jumps at all. If the sync signals are coming at the same rate, the display should remain steady. (Well - as steady as you get with a CRT.) If

If you have a telltale prefix for any internal phony targets (I use "_"), then you can have the Makefile list all the interesting targets itself. Cat the Makefile, print every line matching "^\.PHONY:[[:space:]]*[^_]", t

You want to use GNU Make, and then you can ignore the Make dependency tracking. GNU Make is much easier when you only use so-called phony targets (consult the manual), which always execute without doing any dependency tracking. As for the a

Yes, but just because the C compiler doesn't emit them, that doesn't mean it can't understand them. If there are already tables for the assembler, specifying acceptable addressing modes and encodings, those can probably be re

GEM on the Atari ST supported the .app (short for "application") extension for gui executables. One of its components was the AES, short for Application Environment Services. This stuff dates from the early to mid 1980s.

It's always been a mystery to me why people put up with this stuff. Adding strings to the assembler output is fine if you want to assemble some unsupported instruction, and a useful getout clause. But as the only option, it sucks, and

The idea is that you set up the CI system to build from a different path as often as possible. Per build, per build machine, per build machine rebuild - whatever works for you. Just ensure it's a different path from the standard one th

But what if Britain was the people inside the system all along? The fact this stuff is so popular suggests this might actually be the case!

I think some of the WSL stuff refuses to deal with SUBST'd drives. And if you use voidtools's Everything, it's worth spending 2 minutes setting up some excluded paths so that you don't get doubled up entries. But it seem

TypeScript has "unknown" for this, forcing you to cast it, possibly to any, every time you use it. A much better type for your variables of unknown type!

Surely 6800 rather than 68000. You can't put the 68000 in the same category as the 6502 and 8086! It just isn't fast enough! (Also: the 24-bit address bus meant not much need for bank switching. The 16 MB limit wasn't a probl

Well, my response was slightly tongue in cheek. I was just struck by the implied theory that because works of art depict something, that automatically means that thing actually existed. Regarding your specific example, I'd actually say

It's also worth noting that the anatomic accuracy of the art of Tom of Finland, depicting men with penises in an anatomically accurate position, indicates that there were men with enormous bulging dicks in the early 1960s, enormous bul

I remember thinking roughly the same thing when I was a regular vim user. This was a long time ago now, so I forget the details, but from memory I used to use visual mode quite a lot, meaning I'd get to use the motion commands to selec

I guess. Wake me up when you can enable Emacs mode in vim.

Indeed you should! All that's over is automatically looking good while you do it (or so I claim). Time to accept that you might actually look weird, even though you have the ideal body fat level for somebody 25 years younger. Maybe ski

by tom_ 2y ago
It should, but you can't expect to be as lean aged 45 as you were aged 20. And if you manage it anyway, you'll probably find (as - in my view - Johnson shows) that you look weird, in a way that you wouldn't have done when you

Feels like a bit more body fat would suit him a lot better. The lean look is fine if you're under 25, but at some point you have to admit that it's over. > the way he looked while taking “TRT” looked nothing like a “testosteron

Yeah. It's kind of ironic given how unhappy the author sounds about people being unable to figure out what's going on after seeing the same thing over and over again.

I've got a mono->VGA cable for my STe, and it doesn't work with all LCD monitors. I've got a 4:3 1280x1024 display that (after tweaking display settings) resolves it to a pretty clean 1280x800 with a border at the bottom,

Include more of your dependencies in the repo and build them aa part of the ordinary build process. Now a package manager does not need to get involved.
