I involuntarily (cheers @root42!) spent my Saturday on tracing down an ancient Turbo C bug. 😅

The intr() function, used to call DOS/BIOS interrupts will pass the wrong BP register value to the interrupt. BP is heavily used in stack handling, so intr() generates a BP-reload-and-INT-trampoline on the stack, but the BP reload offset it creates is off-by-four.

Fix: Look for the sequence C6 46 F4 E2 in affected binaries, and change E2 to DE.

More details in reply. 🧵

My personal experience is that at minimum AI usage leads to skills regression, and for lack of better word, codependency.

The thing to be terrified about with AI is not supposed super intelligence, it’s your labor being sold back to you.

I will never understand how right-wingers think Star Wars is a movie that aligns with their politics.

The most right-wing aspect of Star Wars is when Leia kisses her brother.
