Because being surrounded by people who use English as a second/third language, they often encourage us to report "mistakes" and "weirdness" in their language, as a way of improving and learning.

"set disassembly-flavor intel" was one of the first customizations I made to gdb when I started using it in anger.

I've been writing a lot of assembly over recent months (the runtime routines for a lisp compiler, and of course debugging the generated assembly my compiler emits itself).

Mostly all I do is run a backtrace from the segfaults, and otherwise single-step through the code to verify my assumptions.

GDB has sufficed pretty well, though I admit I spent a long time writing the stop&copy garbage collector, and tracing through it trying to understand why I was getting segfaults.

I'm sure there are better tools, but for simple debugging it was sufficient.

I have a cabin in the woods, an hour from my house, my choices are either install a couple of solar panels on the roof, or have no electricity.

I'm looking forward to installing a couple of panels on the roof next year. Having power to charge my phone, or laptop, won't take much capacity, I'm not going to use much power other than that, maybe some music but nothing like cooking/heating, or similar heavyweight usage. (I have a wood stove for heating, and gas/alcohol stoves for cooking, along with on-site water.)

I live in Helsinki, where there is a good tram and bus network. Every now and again a major road will be dug up, in the city center, and trams often get rerouted for a few months to work around that.

I've noticed that there are some diversions which are definitely beneficial to me. There are busses from my house to the city center, as well as a tram. If the tram diverts to a different destination that essentially doubles my available "travel destinations" in a way that's really useful.

So no doubt, for me personally, there are changes that could be useful. But perhaps they would be less useful for others.

Welcome to Finnish where there are both "a" and "ä" to get different sounds, in a consistent fashion.

Some projects do, for example the Lua programming language does their work in private, between releases.

Other projects do it less successfully, making grandiose claims and later releasing things in a partially working state, for example the V-programming language.

It's not super-common, but just those two examples off the top of my head show it's not entirely unheard of.

I've been buying used DVDs from local charity shops (here in Finland) for the past couple of years.

I've noticed that there are fewer new releases, but apparently people are increasingly buying physical media (that statistic might be squewed by counting vinyl releases).

But that said most of the films/TV I watch is old stuff anyway, and every time I visit a large store I walk away with 5+ disks.

Just yesterday I bought a physical copy of Fight Club for €1, alongside Trainspotting, Blade, and a boxed set of black and white St Trinian's movies. Definitely enough media to keep me entertained for the next week or two.

Copyright law; you can't copyright a recipe.

The "life story" is a means to it easier to issue takedown notices, and report rehosters for copyright infringement.

Google isn't involved.

I notice that your github README says that you don't accept pull-requests, that's fine, but you've still got them enabled upon the project. Perhaps you should go to your repository settings, and disable them?

I suspect it's human nature, earlier today I was reading about how some hospital staff had been fired [in the UK] for looking up details of patients they shouldn't have been involved with.

They should have known better, but despite constant training people just seem unable to help themselves.

I guess we can argue technicalities, but since the processor is different, and the 6502 handles the zero-page specially the end result is that you have to rebuild/recompile your binaries to run them under cpm65.

In that sense I'd regard it as a remake, rather than a port. But it's impressive it is possible at all, and it does look like a fun project. (I remember watching some of the porting/building videos when I was working on my own understanding of CP/M for emulation purposes.)
