Porting an assembler, debugger, and more to WebAssembly
WebAssembly is pretty cool! It lets you write portable C and cross-compile it to JavaScript so it’ll run in a web browser. As the maintainer of KnightOS, I looked to WASM as a potential means of reducing the cost of entry for new developers hoping to target the OS.
Note: this article uses JavaScript to run all of this stuff in your web browser. I don't use any third-party scripts, tracking, or anything else icky. Rationale for WASMThere are several pieces of software in the toolchain that are required to write and test software for KnightOS:

There will be a suckless assembly at the 31C3. The whole suckless community is invited to come, meet and hack!
Simplify your life
After 6 years being co-director and CTO of LaTe App-Developers, I feel it is time to make some changes. It's not that mobile development is no longer interesting to me, however after doing (too) many small (5-20 person days) iOS projects, I need some new challenges. Project work has been limiting my creativity and enforcing too much regularity in my daily routine. Besides, there's hardly any room to do compelling software architecture work in projects of said size. You're rather constantly working against the time in order to make some profit with those fixed-price projects. This year I took three...
On the profitability of image hosting websites
I’ve been doing a lot of thought about whether or not it’s even possible to both run a simple website and turn a profit from it and maintain a high quality of service. In particular, I’m thinking about image hosts, considering that I run one (a rather unprofitable one, too), but I would think that my thoughts on this matter apply to more kinds of websites. That being said, I’ll just talk about media hosting because that’s where I have tangible expertise.
I think that all image hosts suffer from the same sad pattern of eventual failure. That pattern is:

Ok, thanks for pushing me in right direction.
I’ve made an update site and a page for plugin at Fiji’s wiki.

Yes, I thought about it, thanks for comment. I just need to go through the FIJI submission workflow/requirements.

How about making this an update site? Otherwise the vast majority of life scientists will be unable to use it.
Process scheduling and multitasking in KnightOS
I’m going to do some blogging about technical decisions made with KnightOS. It’s an open-source project I’ve been working on for the past four years to build an open-source Unix-like kernel for TI calculators (in assembly). It’s been a cool platform on top of which I can research low level systems concepts and I thought I’d share some of my findings with the world.
So, first of all, what is scheduling? For those who are completely out of the loop, I’ll explain what exactly it is and why it’s neccessary. Computers run on a CPU, which executes a series of instructions in order. Each core is not capable of...
Let's compile like it's 1992
I have been tinkering with the vanilla source code of Wolfenstein 3D from 1992. Even though it is more than 20 years old: It still compile and here is how to do it (with plenty of screenshots).
