Microsoft released source code for the 86-DOS 1.00 kernel and PC-DOS 1.00 kernel, along with utilities like CHKDSK. The code was transcribed from paper printouts by the DOS Disassembly Group, a team of historians and preservationists.
The user created a 16-byte x86 real-mode DOS assembly program called "wakeup" that uses the video memory as a calculation space to draw an infinite Sierpinski fractal and bangs the speaker with that geometry. The program's sound is created by XORing against the environment, resulting in a unique and sensitive output that is highly dependent on the hardware and BIOS version.

Using AI agents like Claude to design architecture can be problematic as they lack context and may produce generic solutions that don't fit a team's specific needs. To avoid this, it's essential to keep humans accountable for architectural decisions and use AI agents to implement designs, not create them, to ensure that the final product is tailored to the team's unique constraints.

AudioMass is a free, open source web-based audio editor running in the browser with no plugins required. It supports various audio operations and effects, with key shortcuts using Shift + key combos.
Go developers considering Rust are often motivated by correctness guarantees, runtime tradeoffs, and developer ergonomics, rather than performance. Rust's type system and borrow checker provide stronger guarantees and more explicit control over runtime behavior, but can be more verbose and require a different mindset.
Alexander Grothendieck revolutionized 20th-century mathematics with his work in algebraic geometry. He introduced schemes, a new way to study relationships between objects, and reoriented the field in radical new directions.
The "Mastering Dyalog APL" book is being updated from Jupyter Notebooks for a more interactive learning experience. The online version is a work in progress with missing chapters and sections, but feedback and corrections can be given on GitHub or by email.
The “dead test” diagnostic cartridge of the commodore 64 uses an 8k ultimax cartridge with rom code at $e000–$ffff. the cartridge implements just 58 characters, without any reverse video characters or reverse image matrices. if we were to address any screen code beyond $39, we’d address the $aa fill area. there are no further character matrixe s implemented and no reverse images of these

The user investigated why the ping utility was taking countermeasures when the system clock was rolled backward, and found that it was due to the ping developers handling clock changes in both directions. The user also discovered that ping uses the SO_TIMESTAMP CMSG to measure latency and that clock adjustments can confuse ping, but using CLOCK_MONOTONIC would not work in this case.
The mining industry uses spatial probability models to predict mineral resource concentrations from geologic samples with strong spatial correlation, but constructing a detailed geophysical model is often infeasible due to limited underground data. A Gaussian process model is used to accommodate measurement noise in the location of data points, allowing for reliable parameter estimates and ...
