thats legendary amount of kludgery.

one thing that was fun about bare metal that we dont get nowdays (and we coudlnt with all the viruses and ransomware)

CGA font were never re-programmable, Hercules (after a certain version) were.

Here is the problem people are having with this

Maggie Appleton on this blog literally says "Yancey Strickler's companion idea of the Dark Forest theory of the web".

I have a Dark Forest Theory of Hacker News. If I stay out of certain threads i dont get blasted. So i dont post in them. Hacker News is like Liu Cixin's dark forest.

i hope someone would say "as Fatneckbeard pointed out, HN is a lot like Liu Cixin's Dark Forest" not "Fat Neck Beards's Dark Forest theory of Hacker News".

I did not write 1000+ pages of books about this that became a world wide best seller and responsible for the phrase being a house hold word. I just pointed out they are similar. It is not my idea. It is not even my adaptation of an idea to a novel context. Im just pointing out something relatively obvious, because the original book is widely interpreted as an analogy for China's 996 tech startup culture by the Chinese readership which made it a success in the first place, so I'm basically making a pop culture reference. Even if I wrote a blog about it it would not make it my idea.

Yeah I worry about this. There was no "C leadership", it was simple enough that dozens of people created their own compilers within a few years of C existing. this was back before the internet. they had companies sprouting up like Borland just making C compilers for personal home computers. C just ... spread. All these kids learning Arduino in school, they are learning C.

There basically is no other usable compiler than the official rust compiler. So it has this 'leadership' thing that ... C never really needed

why does it feel like every tech website turns into an amateur humanities and economics discussion group?

"and not already in the sequence" --> bound to be weirdness in that.

interesting because in my experience Chat GPT has severe problems "understanding" OEIS so i wonder if it could solve the problems the way you did?
