I remember .cc being marketed as "the new .com" 20 years ago or so. Never did see many .cc domains.

Considering viruses are basically just spring loaded injectors, I guess about as much of a soul as a rock ready to fall over in a strong wind.

Oh that sounds cool. I guess that would make it a ZISC? What kind of applications did you have in mind for it?

What's the architecture specialized for? Like a GPU or something?

Me too! Having your own working CPU design running actual programs is a whole different rush. Hopefully this year I can get mine running on an FPGA.

According to the linked heise.de article the defendant assumed the credentials were for a database that only contained his client's data, and immediately disconnected as soon as he realized he was actually seeing data for all of the co

Hell, at my school you couldn't even listen to a CD at lunch. It boggles the mind.

I remember in the late 90s/early 00s PC Magazine or something had an ad in the back for a "monster" 47 GB hard drive. That's so quaint now.

There's an excellent video series by Ben Eater on YouTube where he builds an 8-bit CPU on breadboards. I followed along and built something like it in Logisim, but 16-bit. Logisim wasn't very fast, and I was getting really sick of

How to design a microcoded CISC CPU, then a RISC CPU. Nothing fancy in terms of getting modern applications to run on it, but it was a lot of fun seeing how much faster it could be than the CISC CPU. I've been looking into FPGAs but ma

They probably meant cases. Nominative, accusative, dative, genitive, and vestiges of the instrumental.

I don't know what they're talking about, my mouse takes a couple AA batteries and I can count on one hand the times I remember changing them out.

I have a tool I've been working on on and off, and after several years it's actually working. But I was barely smart enough to do even that. If people actually started using it and asking for features that would be a nightmare for

When I was a kid I used to have this Charles Petzold book that I learned this stuff from, it was basically my Bible. I don't have it anymore, I wish I could remember what it was. People recommend Code a lot, but I don't think that

Maybe it's because I learned to type in chat rooms and never bothered with the home row thing, but I guess I just don't type enough numbers to have muscle memory for the number row. But the numpad is stupid easy to develop muscle

I once wrote a program to actually do this for me when that was all I had to migrate files off my computer. But that was like 25 years ago so the files weren't so big.

Any tips for getting started for a software engineer? I built a couple CPUs in a circuit simulator, I'd love to get these things running on silicon of some kind and benchmark them against each other, but I wonder if I would be biting o

Reddit already closes unmoderated subs specifically so they won't fill up with spam, so what's the difference?
