Not exactly C but the concept of the stack

I'm in my third year of happy C coding but I learned 6502 assembler in 1984 and now 70 years old. Therefore I often look at videos like: NES Mapper History to 1988 and Blaster Master Code Analysis - Talkin' Code Ep. 1

The mention of the stack made me think if the 6502 was had a bit of inspiration from C, but it was a lot older concept.

C is what it is, and we can’t change the way it’s been constructed.

When I started programming in C three years ago, I also had all kinds of opinions about its syntax and so on. It reminds me of Donald Sutherland talking about his beginning in the movies. He had read a script and told the instructor his opinions about this and that—the instructor replied, “Will you be in the movie or not?”

My English is bad, but to be clear, I really, really like C especially C99 for what it is and how things are working. I think some beginners struggle because they are no focusing enough and are using AI. Whatever one have to learn you have work diligently to learn a handcraft.

I was 67 when I started learning C, dyslectic issues, bad short memory and on a good day I might reach IQ 100. I have a decent understand of memory handling and have written a business application for my wife's business - a simple but working working GUI relational database with tables, querries, forms, reports on screen and paper and simple drawing program for upholstery - about 6000 lines of inefficient code and about 20 modules. The database current have about 4000 transactions.

Now I'm having fun writing retro games using raylib graphics also written in C99, when I'm not having fun hunting bugs in database.

Import af bil fra Tyskland - hvordan?

Nogen, der kender proceduren ved import af privatbil fra Tyskland.

Garantier, reklamation m.m.

Prøveplader fra forhandler til grænsen?

Prøveplader fra grænsen og hjem?

Syn, beregning af importafgift, betaling i Tyskland og hvad vi ikke har tænkt på?

På forhånd tak.

Old vs new software

Almost every time I read about new versions of office software, I always think: What can the new software do that 20-year-old or even older software can't, and are these new features being used?

Is r/C_Programming weekly visitors lowering?

Today the weekly visitors are 69K, but I think it was way higher just a year ago - nearer 100K.

What's going on?

Leder efter vinduer med dobbelt gummiliste ved ramme

Sidste vinter målte jeg temperaturer med en lyspointer i vores stue. Rumtemperatur 23,5 grader, vinduesramme med tredobbelt glas ca. 18 grader og gummiliste ca. 8-10 grader, udetemperatur -8 grader. Det er sikkert vores ventilationsanlæg der gør at der ikke er fugt på gummiliste. Det bondehus vinduer fra Outline og er tre gamle.

Efter lidt studier har jeg fundet ud af at Rationel og Nordan fabrikerer vinduer med dobbelt gummiliste. Dog producerer Rationel ikke 40 mm sprosser som vi har i resten af huset. Det gør Nordan/STM Vinduer og døre, men efter få minutter nedslående læsning på TrustPilot, er de hurtigt droppet.

Selvom Outline ville producere med dobbelt gummiliste, ville jeg ikke bruge dem igen pga. kvalitetsproblemer med knaster, utætte gummilister(yderdøre), finish og reklamationsprodurer.

Nogen med kendskab til vinduesfabrikanter, der fremstiller bondehusvinduer med trelagsglas og dobbelt gummiliste?

Newly discovered key combination

By accident I pressed Super Key + arrow key and the current window goes to that direction. At first I thought something went wrong but it's actually useful. So now I can see a part of the desktop depending of the arrow key.

Eco Mode for AMD CPUs

Jeg mangler en computer, men behøver ikke meget power, da jeg bruger Linux Mint Debian Edition. Jeg vil bygge en støjsvag PC MicroATX, AMD med onboard grafik og mulighed for at nedjustere TDP eller watt forbrug.

Nogen med erfaringer?

Nyt bad og gæstetoilet hvor gamle bad har afleveret ca. halvdelen af længden

Nyt indlæg for nyt badeværelse i langt bindingsværkshus - fra 1827.

Jeg mangler nogle indspark på forelagte idé men også meget gerne alternativer.

Hvad synes i om ændring af badeværelse

Langt bindingsværkshus - 28m fra 1827. Der er badeværelser i begge ender af huset, desværre skal man ud på en længere tur fra soveværelse om natten og det er den gamle mand lidt træt af.

Huset har flere gulvniveauer så det er ikke lige til.

Der er også tre værelser i forbindelse med entréen - huset har fem værelser.

Jeg mangler nogle indspark på forelagte idé men også meget gerne alternativer.

As retired reseller I discovered a gem in my old store. I think it's about 26 years old, I can read the label correct. I made a thread earlier about my Soltek socket 7 motherboard I have repair/replace caps, before I can build my new old computer.

PC-Write, PC-Calc, PC-File

My entry in the PC world was as an IT teacher in 1987 and we used this 'office suite'.

The last few years my interest in programming got me into C99 the last three years. I'm near 70 and dyslectic, English is my second language but I enjoy IT. Now it's all about Linux Mint, Code::Blocks, Raylib graphics and it almost feels like good the old days.

I wonder if this suite's code was ever released because I think it was written in C.

Any help appreciated.

Does PCI with USB3 or SATA exist?

Although I'm a retro guy, I could use a bit higher transfer speed for data. Or maybe a PCI card with SATA...

Does such hardware exist?

Thanks in advance.

I built a 1999-2000 computer

Soltek 54U5 motherboard, 400 MHz AMD2, 1 GB RAM, 4.3 GB Seagate harddrive, S3 AGP graphics, Sound Blaster, Intel LAN, 2 serial ports, and 1 parallel port, 2 USB ports, AT and ATX power, PS/2 port, 3.5 inch 1.44 Mb floppy and 5.25 inch 1.2 MB floppy.

But the old hard drive stopped working along with the memory. I also had to replace the CPU to a 133 MHz Pentium, probably because the electrolytes need to be replaced. It was the good old days, where we could use CPU's from AMD, Cyrix, Intel and so on, on the same motherboard, because they all used socket 7 or super socket 7. We just had to change the setting by jumpers and dip switches and no need for TMP and other bad stuff. I have yet to see a virus change jumper settings... :o)

I ran a W98II on the drive, but now I have installed a DOS 6.22. It's working perfectly and I can start recovering the old backups from 1988-1989.

AOC screen most likely from 1998

Fujisu hard drive

Build on a newpaper

On/Off swithch, LEDS for hard drive and on

The power supply is very silent, but the hard drive and the CPU cooler are very noisy
