Code is art
FINALLY. That was hell, but my Z80 assembler in Z80 now parses all Z80 opcodes (794!) and unlike other native assemblers it uses a static binary tree to match strings to opcodes so the lookup code is only 179 bytes and the table is 3'733 bytes! #z80 #v80 #cpm #retroprogramming #retrocomputing
Amazing how good this game can look with a few polygons and a rudimentary lighting system #MaxPayne #MaxPayne2 #PCGaming #RetroGaming
Time to try finally complete Max Payne 2 after two previous failed attempts. I bought the game new and for whatever reason the game never really gripped me like the first one did. The changes to how bullet time works always throws me off. #MaxPayne #MaxPayne2 #PCGaming #retrogaming
I have to admit that my mind is not able to comprehend these numbers -- 6.3M views in an hour. Just the bandwidth and spinning disks alone; how could any system supply that kind of throughput and that's just one popular video on a site with a lot of traffic already. The mind boggles.
Petition to change all ports to TRRS poles. Everything — USB-C, HDMI, PCI-E — uses the same connector. Building a PC should feel like you’re a roady setting up the audio equipment at a 1970s hair-metal concert.
On the left, #VSCode; this app is using ~470 MB of RAM. There's a lot going on in the background here, a web browser engine, a JavaScript engine and server backend. On the right is Visual Basic 6 (#VB6), with a very large project open, taking up 42 MB RAM. Now this isn't even to complain about bloat because VScode performs really well and is very extensible. It's the only editor I've enjoyed using since #TextMate on MacOS;
Just wow. The world is designing websites and apps for the iPhone at the top of this graph whilst the majority of users in the world are using hardware at the bottom. As always, JavaScript was a mistake. https://infrequently.org/2024/01/performance-inequality-gap-2024/ #webdev #css #js #html
#System76 #PopOS Widescreens were a mistake. I can't even with how much screen space is wasted. You can hide the dock or move it to the right, but that bar at the top isn't even a global menu like Mac meaning you get a stack of bars if the window has its own toolbar -- here I've forced the toolbar on Firefox to demonstrate; VSCode does this but I can't install that on a live CD.
