The Github Archive Program aims to preserve historically relevant pieces of open source software to allow future software developers to see how the community built and reviewed code. How did you compile code, Grandpa?

The Internet Archive is now emulating Flash animations, games and toys in our software collection. I wonder if they're archiving the need to update every day as well?

For the author, going remote led to reflections on the similarities between codebases and sourdough starter. It's tangy, full of bubbles, and you need to use it every day?
Or that it can easily be contaminated?

A delightful and excellent read. Thank you for posting that!

you have to throw away half of it everyday, or you will run out of places to keep it?
(and you should probably just keep it in the fridge until you need it. iOt!)

Why couldn't the M1 chip have been an Intel chip? Selling a metric boatload of chips?
|
|
|
|
|
Wow.. there is a new chip maker on the block with impressive toys?! 
Damn, I want to run Windows on it! 
|
|
|
|
|
But can it run Crysis?

No, can it run DOOM?

Apple's M1 doesn't have 40 years of backward compatibility to contend with.
Any program written for an 8088 forty years ago can still run on the latest Intel CPU (assuming it is in the correct mode). Try that with other CPUs (if you can find them).

Once you code-kiddies get it out if your mind that computers were invented by Intel (CPUs on a chip, yes), you will realize that the IBM 360 series (designed in the early 1960s) has been code-compatible through it's various incarnations.
As are all the few remaining mainframe manufacturers. I guess the only one left is Unisys.
And if you take into account emulators, the IBM 360 could run even IBM 1401 assembler!
|
|
|
|
|
That was never in anyone's mind. Get over yourself. When one can buy a 360 series CPU in a laptop you might have a point. Might.

And how many computers capable of running System/360 assembler language have you seen around recently? Emulators don't count; we're discussing hardware here.

an interesting hypothesis, but, aren't the most widely used Apple apps now running on intel chips carrying just as much of a "legacy-burden" ?
to the degree that current apps must be radically re-architected to take full advantage of the M1 whatever ... that compiler voodoo alone can't conjure miracles ... ?
it will be interesting to see how app re-writes go.

I've seen plenty of Marketing blurb, but no technical documents (programmer reference manuals and the like). Knowing Apple, I assume that they are only available under NDA.
Apple already has an emulator for Intel code. Why not treat the Intel code as an intermediate language, and use a JIT compiler to compile it to native M1 code? If Microsoft can do it for IL assembler, why can't Apple do it for the Intel assembly language?
