Applesoft BASIC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

by sylvainulg (via)
Applesoft, like Integer BASIC before it, did not come with any built-in commands for dealing with files or disks, other than a feature to save programs to, and load programs from, audiotape. The Apple II disk operating system, known simply as DOS, thus intercepted all input typed at the BASIC command prompt to determine whether it was a DOS command. Similarly, all output was scrutinized for a Control-D character (ASCII 4), which BASIC programs would send before seemingly PRINTing a disk command to get DOS's attention (the disk commands would not really get PRINTed but were intercepted by DOS and prevented from making it to the screen output).[3] ProDOS followed this lead, although the BASIC command interpreter was placed in a separate program called BASIC.SYSTEM and the hook worked in a different manner.[4]

ASCII by Jason Scott / Javascript Hero: Change Computer History Forever

by night.kame

But on the whole I am primarily dealing with artifacts and not experience.  A number of people have done some good work to bring in experience of computer history, most notably the Emulator People. In fact, if you don’t go too crazy on the rococo specifics of the accuracy of emulators, they do really really well to take you from “I wonder what it was like to play Choplifter” to “Wow, I am playing Choplifter“. And as someone sitting in the channels of several emulation projects, I will tell you they are all getting better, every single day – improvements in speed, accuracy, flexibility and expandability.

So here is what I’d like to do.

I want to help port the MESS and MAME emulators to Javascript.

Bonjour le boulot pour émuler correctement les systèmes multi-processeurs ou à co-processeurs, et encore plus pour les systèmes sans horloge (pas que la gestion des timings en Javascript soit boulversante...)

ASCII by Jason Scott / Floppy Disks: It’s Too Late

by night.kame

I am telling you this because I am grabbing you by the fucking collar and shaking very hard because it is obvious you need to be shaken very hard and told that this is it. This is the endgame for floppies. We went over the hump, and the chances of rescue are slim to none now, but there are still chances. It’s a chance that needs to be taken now.

ASCII by Jason Scott / FaceFacts

by François Hodierne & 1 other

Facebook now stands as taking over a decade and a half of the dream of the World Wide Web and turning it into a miserable IT cube farm of pseudo human interaction, a bastardized form of e-mail, of mailing lists, of photo albums, of friendship.

ASCII by Jason Scott / FaceFacts

by night.kame & 1 other

Well, first, let’s start with Facebook itself.

Facebook is the third of what is probably a quartet (or quintet) of the destruction of the innocence of computing.  First was viruses, second was malware, third is facebook. I suspect fourth will be related to control of networking itself, and fifth will be licensing of high level computer ability. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

Watch movies in ASCII in VLC media player - Instant Fundas

by decembre
VLC media player has an amusing ability, targeted especially towards nerds, to playback movies in ASCII art. The option to enable this is right there in the “Preference” window, but most users are unaware of it because they usually don’t dig through the settings of the software. To enable ASCII mode, open VLC media player and click on Tools>Preferences. Open the section “Video” section and under “Output” select “Color ASCII art video output” from the drop down menu. Save it. Now play any video file to enjoy the ASCII art.

MITYA.CO.UK  |  Scripts  |  Animated table sort (REGEXP friendly)

by eledo34 & 1 other
This plugin allows you to animatedly sort a table based on a column's td s, or on the content/value of a child/descendant element within those td s. The various td s fly to their new homes, giving a nice effect. It also supports sorting on REGEXP matches. You can also control whether row relationships are maintained, whether it sorts on ascii or numeric and ascending or descending.

MIME and the Web from Larry Masinter on 2010-05-30 (www-tag@w3.org from May 2010)

by karlcow

MIME was invented originally for email, based on general principles of 'messaging', foundational architecture. The role of MIME was to extend Internet messaging from ASCII-only plain text (other character sets, images, rich documents, etc.) The basic architecture of complex content messaging is:

Random notes from mg

Sending a properly encoded email that contains non-ASCII characters is not as trivial as it should be.

Invalid Unicode character #65533 » ghidinelli.com

by sylvainulg (via)
#65533 is "invalid encoding". That's how you'll read any byte with its 8th bit set if you use InputStreamReader(x,'US-ASCII'), for instance.
