Both reasons apply. There's probably orders of magnitude more learning material for the 6502, and the 65816 is strictly more complicated than the 6502 because it has the entire feature set of a 6502 plus modifications like register siz

Is facil.io maintained? Last commit was 2 years ago, which is a bit concerning for something written in C that handles a bunch of security-sensitive things including a from-scratch JSON parser.

What a plot twist that the appropriate mental model for LLMs is one with a near-fatal flaw that's neatly solved by SourceGraph's product. Edit: Not trying to be dismissive, this is actually giving you a bad mental model because it

It makes more sense when you consider that many of the journalists who have gone into newsletters are there because they felt that the need to appeal to "average readers" and build a broad customer pool (edit: often at the insiste

I served on a jury fairly recently, and it was a much more mundane thing than anything you'd see in a Hollywood film. Whole thing took 10 hours start to finish. Got picked from the pool, had the case presented by the prosecutor, heard

If you look closely, you may notice that the code that "adds to the insurance fund" doesn't _take_ that money from anywhere. It's just retrieving a number from the database, adding a value to it out of thin air and writi

Mostly that right now is a very interesting time for Grusch to claim that US government rules on document classification are inviolable, even when the stakes would be proving human contact with extraterrestrials.

Fond memories of OpenLinux because (iirc) the installer had off-brand Tetris you could play while it laboriously copied files from CD to HDD. Always thought that was a little funny given the antics they got up to later.

Mailing lists and RSS feeds don't incentivize me to compulsively check them so that the important updates I care about aren't buried under a 47-post rant about why I should be angry about something in the news or hidden by an algo

This is exactly right, but it's really hard to see when you're still in the mindset of needing to be part of The Discourse. The people I know who were Twitter addicts and left for Mastodon have become Mastodon addicts. They&#x27
