The arithmetic/logic unit (ALU) in the Intel 8086 processor (1978) is more complicated than you might expect, performing 28 different operations from addition and logical AND to shifts and BCD adjustment. A special control circuit reconfigures the ALU for each operation. Let's look closer...

I’ve been working on this for a while, but let’s make it official: I started a little Tumblr-like microblog about software craft and quality!

You can sign up via RSS or a weekly newsletter digest. There’s already almost two months of content in there, if you just want to check it out.

Hope you like it!

#gnuplot turned 40 years old (!) back in December. Happy birthday!

Very random old throwback for #throwbackthursday - back when I got the lightpen for my Vectrex letting me draw a cartoon of myself in the glowing sharp lines of that unique and cool system!

> avarage foss youtuber, who never touched a single LOC: "The biggest problem in the open source world is the lack of documentation provided by open source devs"

Just shut the fuck up! If you want documentation, write the stupid documentation by yourself! Stop trying to ruin people's hobby with asking them to do mondane and boring shit like writing docu. Besides that 90% of the time docu is lying, and you need to look at the source anyways. Whenever i read docu, it is because the code uses obscure glibberish preprocessor magic, that would take years to comprehend and even then i often end up reading assembly because the docu lies

Pure poetry!

New, from me: The Kimwolf Botnet is Lurking in Corporate, Govt. Networks

A new Internet-of-Things botnet called Kimwolf has spread to more than 2 million devices, forcing infected systems to participate in massive distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks and to relay other malicious and abusive Internet traffic. Kimwolf’s ability to scan the local networks of compromised systems for other IoT devices to infect makes it a sobering threat to organizations, and new research reveals Kimwolf is surprisingly prevalent in government and corporate networks.

PHP was ahead. But at a staggering 1350 votes cast so far, python is pulling ahead again.

And still 10 hours until the poll closes.

Above all, this is testament to the engagement of both the PHP and Python communities.

Perhaps #php is not so dead after all
