Any specific recommendations from that set? I was looking at Qemu earlier but I'm curious to hear from HN folks who have had experience with these emulators.

I became interested in ARM assembly after reading the x86 assembly Forth tutorial that was recently posted on HN. Lacking an ARM processor, though, I'm wondering what emulation options are available? I'm looking for a dead-simple setup that

Worked well for me recently when Linode crashed and burned, it let me know almost right away.

With ViEmu it's my favourite environment in which to write and, more importantly, debug code.

A minor point, but C# will generate simple getters and setters for you automatically with syntax like "type Property { get; private set; }". As soon as you want to do anything interesting when get or set, however, you're back to playing hum

Khronos is working on C++ bindings. But having the core API in pure C should make adding bindings to other languages a (relatively) easy thing to do.

My feeling is that the numbers are skewed because of the bias in the people choosing to report their relationship status. For the countries with a low number of reported single people, perhaps there is some stigma attached to being single?

Yes, Cowan wants to buy ARM processors. I believe he is planning on soliciting funding from the Mathematics Endowment Fund this term. (disclosure: I'm the MEF Director)

Ah, I guess the course requirements have changed in the intervening years. We got somewhat less time to work on the OS "thanks" to renovations in the lab; none of us had time to get a full, graphical VGA display running. That said, I think

You're right, targeting the x86 architecture added a lot of complexity without any tangible benefit. Poring over the subpar Intel documentation consumed an inordinate amount of time. That said, it only took a little over a month to build th

Ah, thanks for clarifying things. Now I have the code licensed under an MIT license. Out of curiosity, what are the implications of changing the license on software you've already released?

Demonstrating that the OS was real-ish time consisted of showing that (1) it never dynamically allocates memory, (2) it uses constant-time algorithms. More practically I did a bunch of timing to show that, under real loads, it generated res

It was fun! Well, fun modulo writing and debugging all the code in three months. As for drivers, the OS really only interfaces with 8250 UARTs; both the VT100 terminal and the Marklin digital interface for the trains were connected via RS-2

I wrote a toy operating system for school that I recently(ish) released to the world. It comes with source code and design documents so I thought it might be interesting for people to poke around in.

That's a good point, about responsibility. My glib comment on a change of scenery wasn't very insightful. For the first time in San Fransico I lived alone and knew nobody so it was me, and only me, that was responsible for doing everything.

An interesting approach to iterative design. I have always felt that considering application design from a game design perspective might yield interesting/valuable results. In this case, I think the advice to prototype many features and inv

I think your comment is right on the mark. The cycle you describe paints an unfortunately accurate picture of many of my high school and university years. I derived not just self esteem but much of my identity from having people perceive me

It's a tiny thing, but in your introductory paragraph you use [1] twice where the second instance should likely read [2].

Someone (Paul Graham?) mentioned that Omnisio was also recoring the proceedings. (At the very least there were certainly two cameras so we can be reasonably confident a second version will appear.)
