So ‘truncate’ and ‘table’ are OK?

Ah good. Now I know what specs not to buy.

Interestingly, there is some evidence that suggests that antioxidants like vitamin C, especially when taken in the excessively large doses that are fashionable these days, can interfere with the immune system (which relies on oxidation reactions in order to clear pathogens and precancerous cells) and preclude gains from exercise (oxidation is used as a signal by the body to eg. induce muscle mass growth).

Exactly, and you cannot have a serious conversation about the attitudes of yore if you censor the words they themselves used.

Back then, it simply meant “developmentally delayed”.

Sadly Microsoft didn’t specify where on the keyboard the key has to be.

In order to find out, hit the keyboard with your head; wherever your forehead touches the keyboard first is where the key is supposed to be.

Yeah, I deserve that. I’m just gonna leave my typo. Thanks for the laugh!

1024 = 2¹⁰

FYFY

Actual old person here: the above is all made up.

The slots were for sporks.

Well that’s an odd way of putting it ;)

Would be interesting to figure out what causes this. Is it the bad grammar itself or some feature of our education?

People would learn bad habits.

For example, due to parameter passing often being done via the zero page, recursion is unnecessarily hard on the 6502, whereas one could argue that recursion is one of the major skills to master for any programmer.

Though I really like the concept of building a new device which incorporates the inherent ease of programmability of the computers of yore, I think the 6502 is just too weird and limited for doing so. For example, in order to cram a halfway decent amount of memory into the thing they had to resort to bank switching. At the least they should’ve gone with a 65816 (apparently they tried but they initially had some problems with the '816 address bus multiplexing).

Their blog would work so much better if PINE64 stopped bundling their updates in one big wall-of-text post and would simply publish them as they came in (or were finished, in the case of a more in-depth article).
