LOL! Yes, now what did I say that was so bad? Maybe defending assembly language?
Oh, I don't even know what to say, or if it is allowed. LOL So, I would like to button my position with this: A man-made compiler can't beat the one in my head. Or yours. And it never will.

Where we don't see eye to eye, regarding our respective positions is your notion that hardware should not be coded on in stuff other than assembly. Now maybe I misunderstood your position but that was my takeaway from your initial reply to me.
I routinely interface directly with the hardware, in C++, on IoT devices where every byte of RAM and every CPU cycle counts, because I'm dealing with timing sensitive hardware, a real-time system, and very limited RAM and CPU.
The only reason I can do it is because I learned to code in assembly.
30+ years later I find assembly hamstrings me when I have to use it. All of the sudden, my code instead of working on the entire ESP32 line will only work on the Tensilica Xtensa 6 without nearly doubling the amount of code I have to write to get it to also support the Risc-V variant of the ESP32.
So I avoid it, even for development where I'm interfacing directly with hardware. And I can do so where every cycle counts.
I've written an NES emulator that runs in 240mhz with 512kB of RAM. Mostly in C++

Different meaning, discovered with the high-effort act of reading the description:
"Covering the Z80, 6502, 68000, 8086 and early ARM CPUs"

Well I have a back ground in Assembly with the 6502, 8086, 68K and some ARM (which is similar to 6502...) I found it useful that they recomend emmulators that are 'freely' available and gave a full list of commands... read like a Learn assembly book from the 80's took me back

Should have said if you are assembly vetran and just need a guide to how code works rather than how use the chip.

I have no idea what she's talking about... I've lived here for more than 200 years and never noticed anything strange.

Brilliant.
PS: sorry I behaved like a bit of a jerk a couple of weeks back. Humblest apologies.

Yep, that's the one. I'm old enough to know better than to lecture people.
And thanks. Sig has reached stability at last

It looks like third-party marketing/tracking apps are the primary culprit, but they didn't name the apps. I wish they would.
|
|
|
|

This is why I block all third party cookies by default. However, just having these apps on the pages and collecting data is making me rethink my use of asocial media entirely.
I'm also thinking about restricting all emails to plain text only.

This will be the last day I will be the early one to post the Wordle score.
I am relocating myself to the US Eastern and Central time zones starting tomorrow so I expect I will be among the last to post Wordle score.

All the best at your new location.
