@0xabad1dea Not forgetting the indeterminate behaviour of opcode 8B due to analog effects.

https://www.nesdev.org/wiki/Visual6502wiki/6502_Opcode_8B_(XAA,_ANE)

it's necessary for accuracy to fully emulate the instruction decoding of the 6502 (Commodore 64, NES) because it had a bunch of shadow instructions and people absolutely, positively did intentionally use some of them

(twitter thread about illegal instructions on 80086)

any adult working with children & yp is morally and legally obliged to ignore this guidance as it is so clear-cut that outing children to their parents would pose significant risk of harm to the child (violates Children's Act 1989, KCSiE and Working Together 2018). it so clearly contradicts the existing statutory guidance, and you will be protected *by law* if you ignore it

if you work in education you *must* ignore this forthcoming guidance, if not morally than let me explain why you should ignore it *legally*:

this is NON-STATUTORY GUIDANCE. it is trumped by statutory guidance (e.g. KCSiE, which still specifically mentions discrimination based on gender reassignment in the 2023 update) which is in turn trumped by law (equality act 2010, children's act 1989)

@hikari I refuse to believe that anyone, anywhere has ever actually compiled chrome. the binaries are some sort of divine artifact

megacorp-scale software projects are so unsustainable. if your project's source code is larger than a gigabyte or takes more than a few minutes to compile… god, i'd rather sacrifice a months of my time writing a smaller alternative than have to suffer through building it

Here's some top tier gaming tips from one pro gamer to another

Discord is adding verified domain connections, similar to Bluesky handles

Good morning, folks. Have a sysadmin tip:

When you ssh to a remote system, make it a habit to run either `screen` or `tmux` first. Always. Even for just a quick little command.

That way, when your crap ISP monopoly drops your connection for no reason whatsoever, your remote command won't be SIGHUP'd, & you can resume with `screen -r` or `tmux attach` when they decide your connection can be restored.

John Cusack is tweeting out some of the dirty secrets of Hollywood accounting -- and it's pretty illuminating.

i wanted to experiment with Unicode in #uxn, so i wrote a little program that reads, decodes and displays each GNU Unifont glyph in the Basic Multilingual Plane, one at a time… at 60fps :3

the result is pretty mesmerising!
