Relatively speaking, it wasn't (still) not hostile. I've seen worse.

This was more of a fact vs fact indirect disagreement rather than being completely foolish

I see, I see... I wonder why we (as in me) don't hear anything about Brainfuck anymore. I kind of see it as a 20th century meme language that proves boomers were trying as hard as they could to make it work, basically what I call a living example. I (100%) believe your JIT story.

dang, I appreciate the long winded explanation and how you took control over this. Not just for being on my side, but that's exactly what people are missing when it comes to HN posting. They somehow pulled the hammer on me because I included my age in the title (which makes 40% of the case to my project). Everything i wrote here is original, and almost all of the feedback is seemingly positive/constructive for the good.

I get the feeling that if I didn't include my age (which, again it's the main thing) this submission wouldn't have received much attention. big thanks to learning copywriting beforehand.

Small clarification: I eat haters for a living.

Well guess what? I wasn't rude either. Honestly i only addressed a bad habit you seem to have.

In all of it's glory, insults are criticism.

That was spot on Middle Eastern powers you got right here!

I bet it's not as easy to figure it out now.

Well, i didn't claim i know it all. But i gave it my best because it's true that one person can't have the detailed knowledge of all the now-existing complicated subsystems.

> If the information exists then it's "possible" to learn it.

Not with most of the terrible (i.e Lenovo, Wikipedia) information found online, It's never impossible but very unlikely.

> hardware companies no longer actually tell us everything.

Rambus :P

We already have that, instead you should write a book on how to not be rude

Especially in today's hardware (/software?), all the bins on the system are 64bit even if it's a 32bit binary, the remaining bits get filled by 0s so that the system treats it as a 64bit bin.

Yes, a handful of times. Everything seemed positive to me so i knew it was ready

Appreciate it!

> there is an opportunity to “extend” this.

Ofc there is, and im already up to it. So apparently my username is screaming 'Algerian' lol, It's so good to see a Tunisian here (or HN).

It's nothing but WORTH the effort-

> If it helped its author understand computers..

Probably the main reason this book even existed in first place and the perfect example of "The best way to understand something is to explain it to someone else."

These are some of the useful link that i wish came up when googling, and DOS is fairly interesting in itself knowing it's behind everything from medical equipment to today's common refrain of teenagers.

So true.

Especially with term highlighting, makes it 2x easier to read and keep the information flow to process (and funnier?).
