I don't understand why you have been downvoted. "abuse" is the right word. The "success" of the current model relies on (a) low production costs (not only cheap labor but also less social security, lower safety stan

Interesting... (I sometimes do reverse engineering for fun and I am always looking for new challenges). I see there is a DOS version and a Windows version. I suppose you talk about the DOS version? (SCOR4)

If the bank makes such an offer to you (how much was it? 1%?), doesn't it mean that the bank expects that the interest rate will stay low for the next 10 or 15 years?

The question is: why the effort to make assembly even more verbose? People who write assembly (they still exist, I guess) will prefer "imulq" after a short time because it's much faster to type. Remember that a line like &quo

Exec was written in assembly. http://wandel.ca/homepage/execdis/exec_disassembly.txt Intuition was written in C. Gfx was a mix of assembly and C.

Amiga Exec is not object-oriented, at least not if you think Smalltalk is OO. There is no dynamic dispatching involved when you work with structures like Message or MsgPort. That said, there are places where dynamic dispatching is used in A

Some of the chapters look a bit superficial. I have seen other books (with the same target audience) with deeper discussions on the impact of algorithmic/implementation choices on the accuracy of the results etc. Here, they sometimes j

If you doubled the hourly wage of the workers in Asia or Africa, the price of a 20 Euro T-shirt sold in Europe would increase by.... 20 cents (incl. VAT). Companies do this because they are not hold liable for the environmental damage done

Try a large block on a small block. As the authors also have noted in their comments the success rate is nearly zero. One may wonder why. Maybe because that's something you see rarely in photos? At the end, it doesn't "unders

Especially the lack of separate compilation units was a weak point of the original Pascal, as also noted by Kernighan. This was fixed later in UCSD Pascal (1978) and of course by Wirth himself with Modula-2 (also 1978). But that said, it&#x
