Transform Matrix rain into sound with 16 bytes of x86 code, discover the art of low-level code audio synthesis
N-gated Hacker NewsAh yes, the classic "vibe coding" manifesto—because nothing screams casual fun like the joy of pointer arithmetic and segfaults! 😆 But please, let's sprinkle some x86 assembly for that extra sprinkle of masochistic flair. 🤖💻

💻🤖 Matt Godbolt's blog post is basically a glorified diary entry about how he discovered xor's magic in x86 assembly, as if he just found out the sky is blue. 🎉 Shockingly, he didn't stop there and took us on a nostalgic trip back to his 6502 days, because nothing says "I'm interesting" like reminiscing about the golden age of #microprocessors. 🙄

@haitchfivebim assembly detection
The barely improved editor now adds better heuristics to detect what flavour of assembly language you're using and what architecture you're working on, so it can provide better highlighting appropriate for the platform you're writing code for. It's not perfect, but it now computes a score if it can't tell right away, and decides based on that combination of factors.
It mostly works for x86/64, Z80, and ARM. I probably should get around to adding 6502, 68000, MIPS, and a few others next. 🙂

Hacker NewsA DOS-like hobby OS written in Rust and x86 assembly
😴 Oh wow, a 510-byte OS written in x86 assembly—perfect for when you want to relive the glory days of MS-DOS, but with even less functionality! #GitHub must be thrilled to host yet another micro-project that proves size doesn't matter when it comes to lack of practicality. 🚀

GateLinkerI remembered how hard it was to learn some #x86assembly code over 25 years ago without access to the internet.
And I was so happy when I got some bytes into the boot sector of a floppy disk to show a message.
When I did that exercise again,
I was impressed what we could do with 100 bytes of opcodes and some #BIOS calls.
Modern compilers generate 100-KB startup overhead for a simple "Hello-World".
There's a size factor 100 ... but is software 100 times better now?
