For short strings (probably most of them) - use a byte for the length (at the string/symbol definition site, alongside the offset) (adds 1 byte * symbols, use high bit if necessary to add bytes for longer strings). You need the offset

Nothing prevents you from using a shared pool of strings that don't have null terminator. It can even be more efficient, since you don't have the null byte to handle at string end. Depending on the maximum string length you want t

Complete assembly. Wouldn't call it trivial, but not super hard either. I wouldn't dream of doing this without the complete assembly, not worth the hassle. You run the risk of ruining something, but for me the reasoning was tha

Had a similar issue - some of the display was garbled for more than a year. Had a replacement screen from aliexpress lying around that cost 126$ two and half years ago, got to do the replacement a few weeks ago, as the kid needed a laptop

That's if you parse the into a DOM and work on that. If you use SAX parsing, it makes it much better regarding the memory footprint. But of course, working with SAX parsing is yet another, very different, bag of snakes. I still hope th

Some minor nitpicks, but hey, we're counting registers, it's already quite nitpicky :) Add far as I van remember, you can't access the high/low 8 bits of si, di, sp. ip isn't accessible directly at all. The ancestry

Too bad, but I managed to watch about 30 seconds of the video before getting motion sickness. Seems like a really cool technology, though. I wonder if anyone else got the same response, or it's just me.

Really enjoyed the article, thanks! A small nit - I think you have a small mistake in the value range at the start - 136000 should probably be 13600?

It was pretty clear towards the middle of the piece that an ai was involved writing this piece, which was unfortunate, since it distracted me so much from the subject that I couldn't complete reading it...

It mostly rehashes the point of using float instead of integer representation, and uses different headers (radical solution, why this matters, secret weapon, philosophy, the bottom line) for streching what could be said in a few sentences i

I think the article could be better and get the point across with half the length and without the second half of it being full of ai generated list of advantages, or using that space to give some more technical information

It's more than that. They have an unlimited license to arm designs, and can change them as they see fit, since they were an early investors (or something along those lines). Other manufacturers can't get these terms, or if they ca

I'm wondering if the usage of an em-dash in the article (somewhere towards the middle) is self-aware trolling, or just the result of excessive ai use... > includes both a human and a computer—and “surprisingly,

Flash was a security nightmare, with multiple vulnerabilities discovered regularly. It was eventually killed because Apple decided it won't support it on the iPhone.

I tried to repair a macbook air, and did manage to tear the microphone cable, because I didn't notice the connector :| Like you said, you need to be careful, but you better be prepared to pay dearly (or manage without) for your mistake

This reminds me that I once worked in one city, and attended university in another city. At some point, there were train lines works that lasted for a few years, which meant that almost any train ride was delayed. You got a ticket back for
