First they said, "you no longer need to learn #assembly language." Later this expanded to include #C." Then they said the same thing about #Perl. Eventually #emacs and #vim were also forgotten in favor of the new and the novel.
Now no one can code without an IDE that holds their hand and everyone thinks this is normal.
Telia sai tarpeekseen eSports -bisneksestä? Yhtiön oma Telia eSports Series vaikuttaa kuihtuneen jo syksyllä 2022 - ja nyt Telia myy vuonna 2018 itselleen ostaman Assembly -tapahtuman.
Assembly myydään tapahtuman toimivalle johdolle ja pitkäaikaisille järjestäjille.
Those of you who love #Forth, do you foresee a pathway out of obscurity for the language? In an era where memory safe languages like #Rust dominate, does forth have something to offer?
It used to be that its super power was being "just enough abstraction" atop #assembly language made it the king of flexibility. But in an era where machine language institutions are themselves just really fast macros in a tiny CPU cache, I'm not sure how helpful that is.
30years ago: The year was 1993 ... The year that one of the most impressive artifacts of the #demoscene has been created on #asm93#assembly ... The most Iconic PC-Megademo of all times by the group #FutureCrew was presented: "Second Reality"
It's one of the demos that has been ported to many other platforms afterwards as homage to the absolutely stunning product of this time.
I remember seeing it 1st time on a machine that was never intended to produce these awesome Pictures and Sounds, when we were used to slow 16Color Animations and Beeping PC-Speakers ...
The Sound remains in my head for the last 30years and for the years to come.
This is a homage to alle the ports and remakes of the original demo, which has been preserved as sourcecode on github. Still we are missing a real High-quality video capture of the whole original demo to enjoy it in a kind we did it 30y ago ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4A10FGqf3is
Next summer term there will be another #MOS6502#assembly#programming workshop for #GameDesign students at the SRH in Heidelberg. The hardware for it arrived today:
I've been working on our move every day for about 6 weeks, without having time to slow down and relax.
As things are wrapping up, I'm hoping to have a bit more time for myself, which I am planning to use to code with GAI (obviously, Gnarly Assembly Instructions). Most likely getting back to 8080 for now.
This is interesting: a good and extensive ARM Assembly programming tutorial. The architecture and instruction set seem more approchable than I thought for manually writing simple programs, not just for compiler-generated code.
「 My job was to write the software in 6502 assembly. Unfortunately, there wasn't an assembler and the KIM-1 just had a hex keypad and small display. So, it meant writing the code by hand, hand assembling and typing it in 」
On that CNET thing in the last boost, my first thought was "this is gonna make search even more useless" and… yeeeep "They are clearly optimized to take advantage of Google’s search algorithms, and to end up at the top of peoples’ results pages"
