   Windows and assembly is a fun topic! Putting the search terms "Windows" and "assembly language" turns up all sort of books. The one that got me to initially explore the topic (from 1993).... [0] For a more up to date tre

   Taken to the extreme.... I gotta wonder. Owen from RanOutOnARail could make some incredible wide pictures from his journeys if he had this setup. Been watching his YouTube channel for years [0], [1]. He has a Patreon account with more video

   This is missing just about all of the short lines in America. So by default the is NOT a world train map. This link and website is misleading to think it is the world of train maps. Disappointing.

   Wasn't this the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) of early 00s Windows? When did it change to GDID? Are they the same?

   Upvotes for apricot and zrobotics for thoughtful shared experiences. One of the continuous battles I kept loosing when introducing an assembly language undergraduate course. Other higher up colleages and deans would say... too hard... nobod

   Yes! Thanks for posting! This gives the feel of what my career looked like in the 80s and early 90s.

    This piece of software has been my goto on transcribing music for all of the instruments I play for the past 25 years. I can't recommend it enough. It has been pivotal in me being a better musician. Works on Linux, Mac and Windows.

    I've used ncdu for years. Great utility! I'm sorry he is gone. How did he die? He doesn't look too old from his website, https://dev.yorhel.nl .

    Quick question. Does it use LaTeX or TeX for math input? Or does it use a DSL at the shell to interact with the LLM? Can you swap out LLMs if needed?

    This looks fun. What is the context and use of the above glyph list?

    This also makes me think of drumming. There are the sticks that hit the surface and form a pattern of sounds. Lots of different kinds of spaces embedded there!

    So how the heck does the change in TOS work for the processing.org environment? That was an IDE that wraps around Java and a bunch of libraries. Arduino came along and borrowed the processing IDE put in an older gcc crosscompiler for the f

    Thanks for posting this! Seriously great book. This is one of those books that I read in the 80s that helped me change career directions to be a programmer in Silicon Valley and eventually get a PhD and teach programming at the university l

    The huge problem that I have with this post is that they are trying to use math to disprove math, but badly. Also, they are using a programming language, python or any language for that matter, to prove their point, which is ALSO math. Whe

    Clicking on the introduction dropped you directly into a programming problem... where you actually needed to know some ocaml. Context is needed... at least some explanation or bridge examples, like... why and what do I need to navigate this

    If you use the companion app called ebird, you can save your checklists. Later you can upload your photos and any audio you have recorded. Those get vetted by regional bird experts and get added to the scientific data. It's fun to go b

    It does not have ads. They will put up a notification 2 or 3 times a year for global non paid bird events. The GPS location is used by the model to narrow search results.

    I'm also a regular user. Q1: To my knowledge for the merlin app, no. Just local storage to your phone as a WAV file. Q2: If you've started down the path of using Merlin, there is a companion app from the Cornell group called ebird

    I agree with you! Having spent decades writing C and sometimes teaching C at the university level, to really understand the "why" of things in C you have to spend some time,separately, writing / studying some assembly languag

    Extremely well written! I agree with just about everything in the blog post, except, the underlying Michael Jordan baseball analogy example. Does the analogy hold if we swap Michael Jordan for let's say... Bo Jackson? He really was ver
