| Apr 13 at 23:30 | comment | added | Mazura | [or these:] Video game from the film “Murder Story” (1989)? - What were the major things that caused TCP/IP to become the internet standard protocol? - When did the floppy disk icon become the standard symbol for the “save” function in user interfaces? | |
| Apr 13 at 23:30 | comment | added | Mazura | I need to find a controller card for an Apple II 5.25 inch floppy drive, the 20 pin connector wont work on the 34 pin controller card I have? - Why does this code trigger a TRAP on a PDP11/70? - Linker running on DOS 8086 to create Win32 PE .exe programs? - Could the Z80 do interference-free video as the 6502 could? - What was the 6502's reset behaviour when the RDY pin was low? [do you want to read those] | |
| Apr 11 at 15:03 | comment | added | davidbak | "Priority inversion problems" of the second question are not what "priority inversion problems" mean to most programmers. I object to that author's appropriation of the term, just to be cute. And answers to that would largely be opinions. The last question's answer - similar to many other such questions - would also be largely opinion, of the kind "it was never a good idea outside of its initial domain, where we now have more appropriate solutions". First question is entirely appropriate here: has objective answers and definitely highlights changes from retro-times until now. | |
