FactChecker replied to the thread Learning Assembly and computer architecture for x86.How much you will use assembly language depends on what type of work you do. If you get into real-time device handlers, you will see it... -

Like.
Here's a simple example of what I mean by mixed-language programming. Below is the high-level part in C. // Driver.cpp : Call an... -
FactChecker replied to the thread Learning Assembly and computer architecture for x86.If you go back far enough, IBM dominated. I "learned" assembly language in a college class that was 75% IBM employees. There was no real...

It is just that But using assembly in a sophisticated OS environment or within a C code is more about interacting with the framework...

I’m playing devil’s advocate for the OP here when I say that talking to the chip directly using assembler is a wonderful way to discover...

FactChecker replied to the thread Learning Assembly and computer architecture for x86.If you really want to learn assembly code, then do it. Even for a high-level, professional programmer there are occasions to insert...

Just my $0.02 but I wouldn't waste cycles (see what I did there) on learning x86 assembly. You're not going to out optimize the...

FactChecker replied to the thread Learning Assembly and computer architecture for x86.No. Neither engineering nor pure math is like that. The first thing to learn in pure math is to use the tools (already proven theorems)...

FactChecker replied to the thread Learning Assembly and computer architecture for x86.1) You seem to have a fascination with assembly language. What types of applications are you interested in? On another thread, you were...

FactChecker reacted to Ibix's post in the thread I Please explain how length contraction and time dilation result in a constant c with Like.
You have forgotten the relativity of simultaneity, which is less popularised than length contraction and time dilation, but probably...

FactChecker reacted to PeroK's post in the thread How do people explore new ideas in physics? with Like.
There's no comparison between software development and the development of fundamental physical theories. The software you are posting...

FactChecker reacted to Ibix's post in the thread How do people explore new ideas in physics? with Like.
There is a barrier to entry with computer code: does it compile/run and do what you claim in at least a couple of simple test cases. If...

FactChecker reacted to .Scott's post in the thread How do people explore new ideas in physics? with Like.
In most cases, it's a LOT easier to test software than Physics. If you have a better way to run a general relativity model, you don't...

FactChecker reacted to Nugatory's post in the thread I Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry? with Like.
That’s the principle of relativity and it’s not Einstein, it’s Galileo from centuries earlier - Google for “Galilean transformations”...
