I'm sorry to hear this.

I'll probably be downvoted for my suggestions, but here I go (I'm from France).

I would recommend changing diet, in France the "Seignalet" diet is well known. Avoid sugar, mammal products (dairy, meat).

When you have no known solution to a problem, you have to try some out of the box solutions.

As desperate solutions, try "healers" or personally try Reiki or Zhi Neng Qi Gong or similar techniques. Find one near your home. Be careful: most "healers" are completely crazy (hoping to become gurus), some are money-oriented. Most Reiki teachers are greedy.

If you have kidney problems, it's very dangerous. My friend's son took creatine to build muscles, but got Berger disease. Be careful!

The ZEROEQUALS function can be replaced by: pop ax; neg ax;sbb ax,ax;push ax

Delivering is cheap, but maintenance is expensive... if not impossible!

I remember him, since he won a PHP contest of DownNOut (I finished second).

Another programmer had the same pseudo, but was working on the Atari ST.

Impossible to connect to JIRA here (France).

You can optimize further by unrolling the loop. For example:

  .L2:
        move.w d1,(a0)
        move.w d1,(a0)
        move.w d1,(a0)
        move.w d1,(a0)
        dbra d0,.L2
        rts

Sorry, but these tricks cannot work on aphantasic people (I'm one of them), since they cannot visualize.

In Europe, the average age for buying a new car is 50. This means that most of the cars sold are second-hand. Most people think that the car is a luxury and prefer to focus on their home first, then their family, and after that, their car.

There are 2 main problems with XSLT. The first one is that manipulating strings is a pain. Splitting strings, concatenating them is verbose like hell and difficult to read. The second one is that it quickly becomes a mess when you use the "priority" attribute to overload functions. I compare XSLT to regular expressions, with great flexibility but impossible to maintain due to poor readability. To my knowledge, it's impossible to trace.

Yes, I programmed Snow Bros for the Atari ST. It was finished but never released. And no, I have no copy either. When I worked for Cryo, I coded a game "Trashman" for the SNES. I still have a copy of the game but it's not finished.

I worked for Ocean Software France at this moment. Ocean Software stopped all development on Amiga and Atari ST, so there were a few games that we working on that were never released. They wanted to focus on licenses, so all the other games were ditched

Nice work! Here is a similar idea: https://wordassociations.net/en

In french, there is a game to build relations with words (they provide a word, and you have to type the most related words): https://www.jeuxdemots.org They reached 677 million of relations in 2024!

A better value could be 0x7EEEEBB3, as in: https://github.com/parallella/pal/blob/bd9389f14fe16db4d9630...

More experiments here: http://david.li/

The MO5/MO6/TO7 were based on the 6809: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomson_MO6 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomson_TO7 Since I met the engineers, I believed that they implemented their own Basic, but I might be wrong.

Here are a few other 6809 FP libraries: https://gitlab.com/dfffffff/fpo9 https://github.com/spotlessmind1975/ugbasic/blob/main/ugbc/s...

If I remember correctly, the ROM of MO6/TO7 contain also a fast implementation, but I was not able to find a disassembly.

Any plan for languages other than english? This would be a perfect tool for french language.

In France, there is one that seems to match your needs: https://www.leboncoin.fr/ad/ordinateurs/2379851136 but it's quite expensive!

Sorry to nitpick, but in the language tokenisation part, the french part is incorrect. The exclamation mark are surrounded by spaces in french. "c'est un plaisir de vous rencontrer!" should be "c'est un plaisir de vous rencontrer !"

It depends on the rice. 2 cups of water is good for 1 cup of rice for 1 or 2 cups of rice. If you use 4 or more cups, you'll get something soggy. Probably the correct ratio is 1.5 when using 4 cups.

I read somewhere that the correct proportion is around 1.7 of water for 1 glass of rice. The rice is rinsed at least 5 times, to remove the starch.

The jb .5 can be removed, saving 2 bytes. There are other optimizations, like inc di/jmp short avoid_command which could be moved before avoid_command, saving another 2 bytes.

In France in 1982, the magazine Science & Vie published a cardboard computer simulator, named "Ordinapoche". It was designed by Joel de Rosnay. Here is a cached copy in french: https://archive.wikiwix.com/cache/index2.php?url=http%3A%2F%...

It helped me understand computers!

Why is this considered a "gaffe"? It may be the act of a mole who works at Microsoft as an admin.

And what if Z-Library or Anna's Archive (respectively 11 and 25 millions of books) were used as sources? Do you remember Recaptcha, which displayed words extracted from scanned material? Maybe the content of these books was extracted with Recaptcha?

My polish mother called them "pirojki", which is the french term.

She made 2 variations: - mashed potatoes and white cheese - rice and meat rolled in a cabbage leaf

One of our neighbors offered one with mashed potatoes and apricot jam (I hated that).

Too bad I'm gluten intolerant now.
