Perfect!
I shall start writing comments in assembly!
They'll still be easier to read than a lot of the comments I have to wade through.

Done that just three days ago. I'm building a small 8 bit computere and am writing a simple BIOS and diagnostic to put into the ROM.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

How about the old computers that needed fresh oil once in a while and broke down when the gears ran dry?

In the Neteherlands we had a radioshow that broadcasted computerprograms. You had to record it on a cassette and you could use that with your commodore 64.
The problem was int he eighties you could have not a good receive over the air (OTA was then different) and your program did not work.
The sound that was broadcasted from these programs was sometimes horrifying.
In Word you can only store 2 bytes. That is why I use Writer.

That's a pretty dense question.

perhaps it's a non-event ?

There are too many of those. The accretion of information about such garbage eventually fills your disc, and you have to throw it away.

Hi Mark,
I cannot explain why your comment reminds me of this recent reportage in the Asahi Shimbun: [^].
cheers, Bill

That's an interesting observation, because I have to agree that the words "accretion" and "fart" seem to form a perfect partnership.
But your post, in turn, brought to my mind the autobiographical works of the late, great Spike Milligna, the well-known typing error.

Had a blood test a few weeks back, turns out I've got a massive B12 deficit.
Turns out it kind of runs in my family, so I might have it too, but on top of that I'm also a vegetarian and B12 can be found in, you guessed it, meat.
I'm often tired and cold and lack any form of energy.
There's a lot of issues you can get from a B12 deficit and with my B12 values they may become permanent (as a lack of B12 can affect the nervous system).
HOWEVER!
Now that I know what's wrong the healing can begin!
A shot of B12 once a week for the next ten weeks from the cute doctors assistent could work miracles.
It takes about three weeks before I start to notice a difference, but I got my first shot today and I'm having a placebo effect
I really can't wait to wake up in the morning and actually feel rested for a change!
Just telling you, if I'm not online anymore after ten weeks I might be training for the next Olympics
People, today is a good day

Bacon! 
Don't go the injection route, you know bacon makes sense....

Actually, I was planning on staying a vegetarian, but IF I now decided to go back to eating meat I'd start with a nice sparerib or meat chop 
They were my favorites when I still ate meat, 19 years ago

Go for a Sous Vide rump steak in pepper sauce!
Dauphinoise potatoes, roast tomatoes, olive bread.
Trust me on this ... you'll never eat aubergines again!

I'd agree with all of that apart from the pepper sauce.
54C for 40 mins followed by MapGas blowtorch to sear....
Sorry, getting of topic

Think of it as "extreme seasoning"!
It does enhance the flavour, check out "steak au poivre" - I use a small amount of brandy to deglase the searing pan, then beef stock, onion powder, and cream to finish the sauce. If you crust the steak with pepper and garlic before it goes in the bag, then add all the meat juices to the sauce at the end it is a thing of gastronomic beauty.

Now look what you've done, I've drooled all over my keyboard.
You've persuaded me to have another go with steak au poivre - I'd given it up since switching to sous-vide because the steak was so good it didn't seem to need or want spicy sauces.
So, Saturday dinner is lined up then

"As well as" I suspect, rather than "instead of".
Possibly because we like things right? Not sure...
