That was mostly a "tongue in cheek" joke : ) What I meant was that the code base is overwhelming both because it has some years on top and I don't like/understand lisp that much

As an Emacs user for ~10 years the greatest deterrent is it being single-threaded and lisp. I just can't understand the love for it. I've spent countless hours customizing my own c…

> History is repeating. Instead of investing into hard work and portability with programmers, the management decides to take the short part which looks cheap. I agree with this poi…

It's an absolute mess of a software, to get running and if you're not paying attention you'll install 15+GB of packages you won't need. I've helped some friends with c++ assignment…

This is the same for me barring the walking. Usually I'm at my best focus in front of a whiteboard and talking to myself out loud, because walking distracts me. I work in a busy of…

Not adding much to the discussion, just want to say how great this website is and its articles! They have been a fun read and fantastic resource!

How so? Can't you do it from the Moon with low delta v as well? (honest question) And I think the Moon's proximity and "static" position relative to the Earth is another great adva…

I think he means it as in "I'm not one to cater to people's feelings"

While programming I don't need to be creative all the time. I find it very pleasing to understand how this systems work and emulate them. I do confess though, that after a while an…

Perfect, thank you. I've been using this image but only to cross-check the opcodes values and what they meant.

Glad I'm not the only one : ) Thanks I'll go check it

The mooneye-gb project is the one I've been checking the most to make sure I'm getting things correctly. His work is massive regarding the game boy.

I've been developing a Game Boy emulator with a friend as well, and struggling a lot with the poor documentation. There's a very thorough PDF with lots of information online but wh…

"My work is in scientific reesarch..." Good for you, but that wasn't what I meant. "Do nothing" in regards with the current situation, not in general.

And Musk and his team (and I believe many others) are qualified enough to present other, engineering, alternatives parallel to the main one. Why shouldn't they? Why is that seen as…

Nop, not because of Elon Musk per se. I would have lost my judgment and go "ad-hominem" if it was another person as well. I just hate the argument "He's just helping for PR, while …

"think it's good that Musk tried to help, but the publicity he got..." If he got all that publicity, then hate the newspapers who kept giving it to him, not the guy who was just ha…

Here https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1015105500105412610 Yes it was not an official call for help, but someone asked. He even acknowledged that experts were already on the fiel…

And what did you do to help? He was asked if he could do anything and tried.
