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 t…

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 i…

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 als…

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 la…

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

So I bought a Nokia G22 to replace my old Galaxy, and it has not gone well. I did enjoy hearing the Nokia chime for the first time in nearly 2 decades though, haha. Deal breaker fi…

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://2t…

I routinely don't want persistent mount points. Imagine my: cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdXY name Followed by: mkdir -pv /dev/shm/name mount -o noatime /dev/mapper/name /dev/shm/name …

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…

I have used openSUSE as my daily driver for many years, and today took my Leap 15.2 to 15.3. All of that worked fine and as expected, UNTIL I LOGGED OUT. I cried actual tears of fu…

Flat Assembler is actually easier to get your head around early on than any of the *asm variants IMO: https://flatassembler.net/

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 …

I wrote a Linux general purpose library for x64 assembler: https://2ton.com.au/HeavyThing/ and in recent months I decided to start doing video tutorials about the "how and why" of …

Obligatory addition of the assembly language TetrOS in a single boot sector (512 bytes) from the author of flat assembler many years ago https://twitter.com/grysztar/status/1054729…

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 w…
