It’s especially unique because the 6502 is not particularly “static,” so single-stepping it is a challenge.

I worked for one of these outfits for a summer job. I needed the money and they seemed alright on the outside. There was a strange obsession regarding looking official and academically legitimate, to the point where they would attempt to re

How do you prioritize which 'frustrations' to work on? Processing existing customer feedback has always been a problem even at large, established places I've worked for - chasing the new customer and adding features is always

I look forward to this brave new future of fuzz-testing recruiter bots.

The built-in examples for method use are a really cool feature. I hate having to jump to MSDN, etc just to find an example snippet when the argument comments are unclear.

I have to wonder how anything gets built in any _other_ industry than software, if this is the caliber of management we get on these projects.

This is a great thing. I am currently tracking down a problem at work where we have a Win32 PE with a lot of DLL bloat. I've written a few hacky exploratory tools for it but nothing of this quality.

It works for Lenovo. My 2016-era W540 doesn't have an HDMI port, only VGA.

It's amazing how compact that joystick is. I wonder if the Joy-Cons will be changed out on people's systems more than controllers usually are. They're almost a fashion accessory in the tablet/portable mode.

I would hate having to replace a rusty fuel filler neck that runs across the wrong side of the car and over the exhaust. We should just go back to the 70s-era centre-mounted fillers behind the license plate holder. Those were great, until y

This kind of closes the loop on an interview I read a long time ago in a magazine. When Blizzard went to make the Mac (System 7) port of Warcraft 1, the guys that were interviewed about it mentioned that the port was relatively easy because

I see nurses using the tiny battery-powered versions quite a bit now. Sometimes they even have colour-coded cases. They seem like a great addition to the toolkit and they're so quick to use that they don't get left behind like mor

William Appleton has an amazing body of work. World Builder, SuperCard, the core technologies behind the Cyberflix games. Busy guy, very inspiring.

I saw a handful of Twizys when I was in Rome a few years ago, still not quite sure where they charged.

Looks like it's an update for DX12 and also a much-improved UI. PIX is a great tool that has never gotten its time in the sun and I'm glad to see it is still being maintained, at least for now.

I don't know if I've ever seen a successful database transition for a large project at a large firm. You basically have to build that from the start. Doing it after the fact in a politics-heavy organization is confounded by not ju

I think every one of my former employers who have failed, did so by doing those 'customs.' The last one even spun off a dedicated team that built (hacked) prototype customs in order to secure sales, then threw away the prototype a

Reintegrating future changes in the upstream is also made nearly impossible as a result; our tech lead made a change to numpy a few years ago, didn't manage to get it accepted by the project, and we're stuck with this version unti

This is true: the firm I work for at the moment just completed buying an incredibly expensive Fortran-based platform. That's despite the fact it cannot integrate with our existing products without serious work, nobody knows Fortran her

Not to mention that a lot of chain-drive cars often choose cheaper or substandard materials for chain guides. You end up with a choice between sounding like it's broken and having to spend a good chunk of a weekend dismantling it.

Looks like your screenshot links got broken in the second part of your series (maybe since they're TIFF they won't display inline on Windows Chrome?). I'd love to read the rest of the series when you write it, as well!

This is the best up-armoured cat feeder I've seen this week. Kudos to Quinn for never giving up. I'm terrified to think what the next step will be once Sprocket chooses to escalate.

It's not isolated to iOS. Snapchat does something funky in userland. I think on the Nexus 4, Snapchat still ships with a warning that it doesn't work properly. Mine would reboot about every second time I took a picture.

Looks like at least some of these passwords come from the Daz3D website (964 hits).

I can personally guarantee you it is literally every bank. Even if they have a fancy tool, someone is using an Excel spreadsheet to figure out how to subvert it.

The real disappointment here is that more people aren't paid proportionally to the amount of time they put in to their jobs.

It blows my mind that the Super FX not only survived the collapse of Argonaut but went on to become so widely adopted by companies that presumably could make their own tiny microprocessors. So cool.

Maybe Bose has bought out in-flight magazines about office design. This goes all the way to the top.

I won't be happy until I see someone do FizzBuzz in silicon.

The Justy would probably have been more warmly remembered if it weren't for the oil pump bearings and CVT. I'm still always looking for a nice one. As for the Element, it's seeing quite the resurgeance in interest as of late:
