    > Assembly is a human readable version of machine code. It's exactly the same.

    goddamn, and this is a project that prides itself on having had-written assembly in it

      There's certainly assembly that maps directly to the machine language bytes, I assume you are talking about the version of assembly with the high level loop macros

Apr Fools Day really is the shittiest day to be online. For one thing, practical jokes/pranks are just gussied-up asshole behavior. For another thing, nerds generally SUCK at information-delivery pranks, which is what the Internet is full of on Apr 1.

    Back in 2004 when free email services like hotmail were limited to 10-15mb, on April 1st the evening standard front page headline, which I saw in the office around 2pm, was something “Google lunched 1gb email”

    I couldn’t believe they had fallen for an April fools so hard.
