#USB keyboards can't interrupt the CPU themselves, but the USB controller continuously polls them and will interrupt it on their behalf. Loudly.
Join me on my birthday as I map out Hyrule and raise funds for Autistic Self Advocacy Network (https://autisticadvocacy.org)! No walkthrough, no hints, just some vague childhood memories to help me defeat Ganon. Every $40 raised will extend my adventure by 30 minutes*. Starts Friday, June 19 at 4PM EDT https://twitch.tv/robotspacer
*I’ll stream up to 10 hours each on Friday and Saturday. If people are very generous and we raise more, I’ll do Wednesday Zelda streams, time permitting, for up to 50 hours max
I’ve been beavering away at two-player #BBCMicro Elite
These videos show the most recent improvements: laser beams, hit counters, two-player dashboard, planets, suns and more accuracy
It’s quite difficult to film!
See the thread for a tour of what’s new…

Isn't it weird how in 3D two axes are always horizontal?
Even if you rotate the object (90° anyway) it will still have two axes that are horizontal with the plane you're viewing it from. One vertical, two horizontal. I guess it makes sense, it fits with how we view the universe, as a species trapped on what appears to be a plane experiencing gravity.
Is it just our perception though, or a universal truth?

I guess my best option is #D at this point, as its a sort of "C with classes" type language.
I know C++ exists but as someone who hated the "flexibility" of #JavaScript I really doubt I'd like it. I prefer consistency over having multiple syntaxes for the same thing.
I'm not sure D has much of an ecosystem though, and I don't know if it has a debugger.
I really took for granted how much more open and easy #C was in terms of its tooling and build system.
I went back to #Csharp because I enjoyed programming in it in school, but I learned its nigh impossible to debug it without the proprietary version of #VSCode or #Jetbrains Rider. #Java has a horrible build system and is similarly limited in-terms of debuggers, despite being much older. Are there even any languages similar to them that are open, and can be debugged with pretty much any IDE?
It's 1998, you make a website in the copy of frontpage express that came with your computer, it's just like Word and it's very easy, you figure out how to upload it to the couple megs of web space that your ISP gives you (the instructions are on their website), you visit your site in your browser and everything's fine and the site's readable and everything looks the way it should
🦝 "Wow, if it's this easy in 1998, I bet it'll be even easier in 2026" you think to yourself for some reason
