If it's running on MMU-less systems, I'd be interested in how it loads multiple programs into memory: does it need to relocate each program binary? If so, doesn't that preclude using execute-in-place (XIP)?

There is likely a minority of people who are not significantly affected by a lack of morning light and therefore prefer having light in the afternoon. However, the way we set our clocks must work for society as a whole, and there is an abundance of medical research demonstrating the importance of morning light.

There's gotta be some reason she's not using a 65c816 but I can't think of one

Seeing as you’re here, I’m getting the feeling that their task failed successfully. Classroom learning is not for all kids.

Aging could very well be a program to deal with the breakdown.

I remember playing with my father's collection of tape recorders when I was young and one of them had such a "cat's eye". Maybe that's where my love for glowing phosphors started.

This is where hand-rolled intrusive data structures, as are traditional in C, really shine.

This is so stupid. Are you really gonna let him remain president for the rest of his 4 year term?

This is why system programming still matters.

Looks like they're missing the obvious optimisation of putting the record data right after the CacheEntry members instead of allocating memory separately though. But that might just be me as a C-programmer talking and not be all that easy in Rust.

If you define Europe as Sumer or Egypt, then yes. If you define Europe as Rome, then no. The earliest deciphered Greek writing dates from 1450 BC (Linear B) but that civilisation fell in the Bronze Age collapse and there is no (written) continuity with Europe as it stands today.

As far as I'm concerned we're all equally ancient descendants from LUCA.

One way would be to toy with the order in which the text appears on the page: that needn't be in the same order as the one for the text in the document. I.e.: the text on page could be "hello world" whereas if you copy it you get "old row hell".

Why is this news? As a European this seems totally obvious.
