Tomasz (of fasmg) added "one more quick thought" re: 8-bit word not being a limitation, he said that since fasm1 had macros for LZW compression [0] (from the assembler alone) and that this is even easier with fasmg the word length

I reached out to the author of fasmg WRT your post and circular dependency interest and he pointed me toward two posts that he wrote very specifically to explain what he believes is unique to fasm/fasmg and allows to handle circular de

Very cool and I like the idea of a "meta-assembler." The most-recent version of flatassembler (fasm 2) is built with fasmg which is also a "meta-assembler" of sorts, in that it also doesn't directly support a specif

One of the things that actually sold me aside from the repairability thing and all was their wikipedia page[0] where it says that "HMD is headquartered in Espoo, Finland, and is largely run by former Nokia executives." I was rathe

Bought it online directly from Nokia, though it came from their partner Ingram Micro.

A couple of years ago I did a "Terminal Video Series" segment that also highlights the runtime overhead of 12 other languages, C of course actually one of the best ones: https://2ton.com.au/videos/tvs_part1&#x

In fairness, that history seems to indicate that maybe it really was SUSE who decided to enable it. Sure seems like "RemoveIPC" option should have been advertised as a 15.2 -> 15.3 update repercussion. :-( :-( Leap 15.2 didn&#x

I also learned Z80 first, and I can say categorically that learning 16-bit x86 is NOT a good idea. To do anything useful in 16-bit, register starvation is a constant. Segmentation issues are actually hard problems. I submit that if x64 exis

probably should have titled it "now" instead of 09:00 UTC, apologies.

Definitely not banned, sshtalk kakked itself under the HN glow (that and I left it open in a terminal window here and had an insane number of tiled chats open, might have a bug in there too)

This is a sad statement. Proficiency in a given language/environment dictates how long and painful a solution will be. Use cases for this are no different to any computing-related task, though I concede it isn't for everyone :-) N

fasm was in fact modelled after early TASM, and much of the "high level constructs" are just macros... or did you mean something more specific?

Start simple and hook fasm in with a "normal" gcc/g++ project... I wrote a page[0] ages ago on integrating C/C++ with the HeavyThing library and a good portion of that has nothing to do with my library specifically and i

The IDE is indeed written entirely in assembly language, as is everything from the webserver up (JohnFound, author of FreshLib/FreshIDE also wrote a fastcgi layer to interconnect with rwasa from my own goods). Everything there is assem

Compelled to chime in here and say that you can just as easily write bad HLL that the compiler can't do much with in the first place. Also back in 2016, I participated in a pseudo-challenge on the fasm board [1] and it is trivial to op

when I wrote hnwatch last year, there were some "issues" with the firebase feed, but for the most part the firebaseio goods are in fact realtime.
