40 Years of the Amiga, from Commodore

news.ycombinator.com Paul Lefebvre 2026-02-12 15:38:22

In July 1985, 40 years ago, the Commodore Amiga was officially introduced to the world. This groundbreaking computer caught a lot of people by surprise and it has an equally amazing development story. As an Atari guy in the 80s, I was somewhat aware of Amiga before 1985 because it would occasionally get mentioned in Atari magazines or by an Atari columnist. I remember seeing a brief note about it in ANALOG Computing and also the Atari column in Creative Computing. Early History As many people

We'd be better off with 9-bit bytes

news.ycombinator.com Pavel Panchekha 2026-02-12 14:39:20

We'd be Better Off with 9-bit Bytes A number of 70s computing systems had nine-bit bytes, most prominently the PDP-10, but today [1 Apparently, it was the System/360 that really set the standard here.] all systems use 8-bit bytes and that now seems natural. [2 Though you still see RFCs use "octet", and the C standard has a CHAR_BITS macro, to handle the possibility of a different-sized byte.] As a power of two, eight is definitely nicer. But I think a series of historical coincidences would act

Litestar is worth a look Published on: August 6, 2025 Django, Python A few years ago at work, I had a project which offered an opportunity to look at the new generation of async-first, type-hint-driven Python web frameworks. For reasons which aren’t particularly relevant today, on that project I ended up choosing Litestar, which is the one that doesn’t have a ravenous all-consuming hype machine surrounding it.
