Well I've played the 6502 simulator as a kind on my 6502 Apple ][ clone :) :) :) youtube.com/watch?si=XuNgnVc4rf86nIgA&t=42 it should'be available here to play online too (but have…

15 million mollars :)

Oh yes, good point! Stand corrected!

Does this apply to Netflix, Amazon, Disneys, and many other streaming providers's "What to watch next? Recommended..." of sorts (or music/podcast streaming services)...

I spent years (on my free time) coding Lisp, even had the aspiration (but I was younger then) to rewrite P4V (Perforce Client GUI) in it :) - https://github.com/malkia/p4bee but ha…

Hah, didn't think of it this way... To me it was if it allows live updates (+support for them) or not :)

I've been wondering - Is lisp (common lisp, clojure, scheme) easier for iterative work with LLMs?

No it's not. Not everybody uses Zig. Rust/Python/And others have also tried "fixing" it.

Everytime I see a language creating their own package system, all I can think of it how much we've missed here. The only exception is C/C++, where there is none established that we…

In similar spirit, there was an old US TV show that was popular in Bulgaria. It was about some typical US family living with the grandad (father's side). So grandad gets punishes a…

There is HyperDX - search is not fastest, but it could be something that we do too - haven't checked deeply if high-cardinality is big issue with ClickHouse, but seeing some high c…

There is an awesome amount of software written by Russians - nginx, clickhouse, 7zip, Far Manager, WinRAR, even Kotlin (his creator) - I grew up, as bulgarian, with Russian books (…

Holy Shit! _ How did they got so far - this is amazing... Look here - https://github.com/search?q=repo%3AFoxdieTeam%2Fmgs_reversin...

ha! I wish I knew this back then, but now I do remember - I think what we did was simply clearing the bit before access, and it was in just dozen or so places. Slap a macro and you…

There are memory regions that are mapped to the same physical memory - https://psx-spx.consoledev.net/memorymap/ I worked on the Metal Gear Solid port from PSX to PC, and Konami pr…

Sandboxing is quite easy (user-wise), once you install the sandbox system. By default it allows only a single sandbox, and with small `.wsb` file you can drive what's visible from …

There is a game - Beyond The Darkness - released few weeks before the name change "Beyond the Darkness" was released on Nov 14 2024 - https://store.steampowered.com/app/1728610/Bey…

oh wow! that sounds awesome! (I guess I left around the time you were starting)! I was based in LAX (so no G-Buses for us, but I had to visit MTV often - like once twice a month, a…

yup - when I started in 2014, coming from long gamedev experience it was nice that "g4" was just "p4" rewritten for piper. (alzo "blaze menu" was cool, but did not show (AFAIR) pla…

Xoogler here (2014-2017). My team (part of Ads) used primarily Java, and we used the Eclipse, then we started switching the IntelliJ. Cider was used also a lot, but I've heard even…

One more "hidden" fact - Windows uses sqlite a lot, for a lot of tables. There is even "C:\Windows\System32\winsqlite3.dll" and "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0…

In the past I've used the backup API - https://sqlite.org/backup.html - in order to load in memory a copy of sqlite db, and have another live one. I would do this after certain use…
