    That seems a bit small seeing how doubles can represent 53 bit integers accurately.

    Lua is nice on small platforms like a Motorola 68030.

    Lua is written in C89, perhaps a good example of that.

    Dungeon Master (1987) on the Atari ST was mostly written in C.

    Then compare orca brains to ours. Theirs are larger and more wrinkly.

    ChaChah is a stream cipher and was never a SHA3 candidate.

    Yes, FrexxEd is great. I've done quite a bit of work on the source code to extend it a little, and have overhauled the scripts also.

    And now youtube videos about technology are a thing.

    Or we could just not kill them?

    There were definitely security cameras in the early 90s and 2000s, just not in as many places as now.

    An FPGA isn't much more interesting than an emulator for preservation.

    In the case of Xoshiro256 you can just make multiple instances of the generator with Xoshiro's jump function. No locking required and no overlapping sequences.

    Not to mention Apple with the Mac: 680x0 -> PowerPC -> X86/64 -> Arm

    Now compare that to the early days of printing. That difference is much larger.

    Yeah, I miss-read that. Thanks for pointing that out!

    You're wrong. Remember that XOR works on individual bits. If what you're saying was true, then swapping bits that are both set to 1 would also fail, which means this algorithm woul…

    That first one is madness! That's not even goto-phobia, that's just not knowing what arrays and loops are. The third one is true goto-phobia of course. Crazy how people can't see t…
