I hate how much emphasis is put on economic value. I love math because of how beautiful it is. I went to uni for math but ended up switching to theatre because of how it was taught…

During my freshman year of college, I was in a general chemistry class. Halfway through the semester I wrote a little Python script that encoded mass of a whole bunch of (not all o…

* Abortion is wrong in all cases (angers the liberals) but * We need broad socialized healthcare, paid parental leave, etc to help the mothers (angers the conservatives) * Money is…

Yes - all of my grandparents are immunocompromised so I want to be very careful around them. Not to mention it will probably be a requirement on college campuses once it becomes ge…

Love this - I actually started implementing these circuits in C [0] a while back but never got past combined memory. [0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23672470

I'm teaching myself some JavaScript with this project. Please feel free to make suggestions. I know I should modularize it (is that a word?) but alas, being new to JavaScript I don…

I'm a high school senior and am working on applying for scholarships. I was wondering if anyone knew of some less-publicized scholarships from any companies or foundations. I plan …

Hey, thanks for the recommendations! I'll definitely look into the AVR instruction set. I'm not opposed to multibyte instructions but I'm trying for 8-bit instructions. I'm actuall…

Thanks for the recommendations. I've briefly looked at the 6502 instruction set. Part of the problem is that most of those real-world CPUs use multibyte instructions, which I'm not…

Yeah, I know since it's gate-level it will be slow (and it's already been tedious to code) but I wanted to get a better sense of how certain components actually worked. Multibyte R…

This is pretty cool. I actually remember reading your article a few months back. Once I'm finished with the actual computer I might try to write something with Xlib render a termin…

It's not quite done. I'm still working on the memory components and the instruction set. Feel free to uncomment the testing functions in test.c to see the other components. Also fe…

I'm trying to write a browser-based editor but I don't want to use JS in any way. In fact, I would prefer to use C - basically it will parse the input for syntax highlighting, etc.…

I'll be a senior next year. I've been programming since middle school and am familiar with Ruby, Python and C (I actually prefer the latter). I also enjoy math and am teaching myse…

Cellular Automata got me into computing a few years ago - it's amazing how the Game of Life and other CA's are Turing Complete. So many people will miss him.
