Speed-coding for the 6502 – a simple example

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-26 20:24:42

Usually clocked at 1MHz, with no hardware support for multiplication or division, and limited support for bit shifting, it is often important to take a step back from an algorithm in order to make it do the same thing, hundreds of times faster. Note: this article doesn’t describe any technological breakthrough or extremely clever new way of doing things. It’s just a real-life example using a little part of an algorithm I made, and where at first, I stopped at step 2 instead of going all the way

Sometimes CPU cores are odd – Anubis

news.ycombinator.com Xe Iaso 2025-10-26 20:39:18

One of the biggest lessons that I've learned in my career is that all software has bugs, and the more complicated your software gets the more complicated your bugs get. A lot of the time those bugs will be fairly obvious and easy to spot, validate, and replicate. Sometimes, the process of fixing it will uncover your core assumptions about how things work in ways that will leave you feeling like you just got trolled.

Genetically, Central American mammoths were weird

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-27 01:57:41

We tend to lump all mammoths together as big, hairy elephant-like beasts with enormous tusks. But there were a number of mammoth species, including less furry ones that inhabited temperate regions. And the furry ones include at least three species: the Eurasian steppe mammoth, the Arctic-specializing woolly mammoth, and the late-evolving North America-only Columbian mammoth. Because these species inhabited the Arctic, it has been remarkably easy to obtain DNA from them, providing a genetic pict

You know what’s wrong with people? They’re too sure of themselves. Better to be wrong and own it than be right with caveats. Hard to build a personal brand out of nuance these days. People are attracted to confidence — however misplaced. But can you blame them? (People, that is) Working in software, the most annoying part of reaching Senior level is having to say “it depends” all the time.
