I wanted to expand my knowledge of assembly and by doing something fun and motivating. It all originated from the observation that so many program binaries today are very big, often over 30 Mib (!), and I asked myself: How small a binary can be for a (very simplistic) GUI? Well, it turns out, very little. Spoiler alert: around 1 KiB!

The Analogue Pocket is finally able to run community-developed cores. Within the AP community, the term “jailbreak” is often used, but no jailbreaking is required; you simply need to be running the most recent version of the Analogue Pocket operating system, and then add the community cores.

For unknown reason very smart programmers are using Clojure, I haven’t figured out why. The writing of this book is to figure out why. My last job was in a medical coding company where we maintained 3 Rails app, I got to code in two of them, one had 0.1 million lines of code, was headed by a guy who knew how to code and was maintained okay, other one had 0.2 million lines of code, had no test, headed by a guy who did not know how to code but could just do politics, that project prior to him was headed by people who did not know how to write maintainable software and senior developers in the project had to bear the brunt of history. It showed me how screwed Rails app can get if left unattended, so I want to search for something that’s more idiot-proof.

Emulators So… what is an emulator? Let’s say you want to play an old game from the MS-DOS era. You have the DUKE3D.EXE file, you launch it and …nothing happens. But why? Old syste…
