Work has begun on . Due to the portability between macOS and iOS, I’ve once again chosen and delved into programming again.

I think I've found a bug in a 1977 version of Basic... I wonder if it's a new finding?

110 A=SQR(2)
120 B=SQR(3)
130 C=SQR(6)
140 PRINT A*B-C
150 PRINT C-A*B

Turns out A*B-C is non zero, which is fair and more or less expected, but C-A*B is different - it's zero - and I didn't expect that.

This is of course Microsoft for the . The problem seems to be present in all their 6502 basics.

@alexcleac У мене першою мовою був на синклері з 48 кіло пам'яті. Потім був на 286 процесорі. Після - . Після я довго мучився з чим завгодно (наприклад - отка екзотика), поки не знайшов , який завдяки потужному залізу (а воно зараз на тлі 48к усе потужне) узагалі не вбивається. Але в улюбленому геймдеві марна річ. Хоча якщо міць наростять, а її наростять, то ще подивимося.
Стоп. Я ще кодив на калькуляторі МК52, тож було життя і до бейсіка.

Mmm, feeling good - fixed a bug in a 1986 interpreter. One byte fix... one bit really.

's Basic IV for 32000, turns out USR was mis-coded, so with a bit of help from a friend, found the bad code and poked it into a better state.

Famicom Family BASIC
I love BASIC! I don't make a secret of it. It was the product, even before DOS, that launched Microsoft. It was invented to be the language to bring programming to the masses, and, for a short time, it fulfilled that function. (These days, if you want to learn coding, I suggest Python. Not only is it a lo

When I went on my course with the Red Cross, the very first tip our instructor gave us was:

“Always be on good terms with the kitchen (staff).”

To this day I consider that one of the more important I ever received.

What's so interesting about the ? I've read the spec sheet. In practice what makes it more or less compelling than a ?

How hard is it to port existing or ASM code to the F256K? Has anyone upgraded the CPU to a yet?

Finally got around to imaging some very old SCSI hard drives from my gs which contains some of my very early programming work. Figured I'd upload it to for posterity. This is called Swamp Land written in and was inspired by text character animation based games like TextTrain. I wrote it over a weekend back around 1980 and was the first thing I was really proud of.

Das ist es. Bin ein oller Boomer, arbeite mit PC's, seit es sie gibt. Vor 40 Jahren die ersten in d. Industrie eingeführt, mittels die 1. Seite > LPT01 gedruckt; DOS, irgendwann kam Vorläufer v. Win98. Mein 1. privater PC hat 2 MB ! Festplattenkapazität. MB ! Damals haben wir noch die bit's u. bytes gezählt.😂
Weiß also einiges über/von den Kisten u. so manch Anekdote v. den Stammtischen in Silicon Valley.😂 Darüber können wir mal schreiben.

Reimplementations of the Contents of BASIC Computer Games
When we talk about the old days in computers, there's easily several eras we could be talking about. There are people who consider the Wii/PS3 era to be the Ancient Times, for after all they were both released in 2006, 17 years ago. They're almost old e

Ich höre gerade open.spotify.com/episode/4AxqQ

Leider wusste ich in den 90ern nicht, dass bei DOS dabei war - ich hatte nur die „Shell“-Programmierung mit GOTO und IF ERRORLEVEL gefunden und bin damit schnell an Grenzen gestoßen

What do you consider to be the best book for learning the language; any 8/16-bit era dialect? What about advanced usage?
