Well because it could lead to any result on some platform or compiler, it invalidates assumptions about the program.

Indeed. Pic: https://www.ablogtowatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Seik...

The goal is that you want a privacy-focused phone. Whether Google makes money or not doesn't matter to the goal. Has nothing to do with you liking or not liking Google...Google is …

Don't you grant ACM a right to distribute your work when publishing? So doesn't ACM already have the right to grant access to AI?

"Pridecoding"?

Work should be time-bounded. Weekends should generally be off limit, even if it supposed to be a "fun" work thing.

portmanteaus are great, actually. Didn't know that about facebook. Non-dictionary names don't need to be as wierd as Mosptnspg. Could simply be Frodel.

didn't know that... In that case I should count "Facebook" as another violater.

Nah. "Google" is pronounced the same as the English word "Googol", so I do consider it appropriating. Meanwhile, Invidia is a latin word, which as a dead language, and it is pronou…

Pet peeve: companies that appropriate a dictionary term for their name, e.g. Apple, Google (& Alphabet), Amazon, Oracle. It's really not too hard to create a new name for your comp…

Well the title and premise is a bit silly. If you're designing easy hardware by wiring parts together that already do all the hard stuff, then "hardware is not so hard" is somethin…

Star Trek used the fictional "gigaquad" unit of computer data storage, and conveniently deliberately avoided defining how many bits the base unit of a "quad" is, so they never woul…

Noise and component imprecision has always limited analog computing.

With more bits, then SUB is going to be more and more expensive to fit in the same number of clocks as XOR. So with an 8-bit CPU like Z80, it probably makes design sense to have XO…

Some old guitar effects used -9V DC.[1] And the convention with guitar effects power adapter is the barrel is center negative (which is motivated with facilitating easy wiring of t…

> "download a pre-prepared disk image directly to your disk" Well not quite direct; the bits go through your RAM in between.

Too bad can't access $CorpStreamingVideoService full-resolution on linux :(

Impressive. Noting however that double-clicking is not working in Minesweeper. :)

That curricula is often more specifically called "Computer Engineering". CS students meanwhile usually aren't bothered by anything below the compiler.
