ZX Spectrum: Experimenting With 1-Bit Sound

ZX Spectrum: Experimenting With 1-Bit Sound

✨ Discover this insightful post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: As part of the ZX Spectrum tour, I implemented some routines that would let you play simple tones out of the 1-bit beeper. These were in large part inspired by earlier work I did on the Apple II. We know that’s not the limit, though, because we got some improbably good results out of the IBM PC’s 1-bit speaker as well. My original plan for this week was to replicate some of the advanced PC speaker techniques on the ZX Spectrum. Unfortunately, that didn’t work…

There’s a new “Google Jail” for independent wikis

🚀 Check out this awesome post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 💡 **What You’ll Learn**: Big week! We just finished moving the Overwatch and Fortnite wikis off of Fandom. It’s still my favorite thing in the world to help wiki editors grab control of their projects and make them awesome (and not covered with a dozen auto-playing video ads!) Unlike most of the other wikis we host (runescape.wiki, minecraft.wiki, gta.wiki…), both Overwatch and Fortnite are launching at subdomains of weirdgloop.org instead of on their own root domain, like (say) overwatch.wiki. There is an unusually good reason for this, and…

How well do agents use test/verification techniques?

✨ Read this awesome post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 💡 **What You’ll Learn**: We previously noted that, while it's easier than ever to hit a particular quality bar by having coding agents use effective test techniques, software quality seems to be getting worse, indicating that whatever defaults developers are using may not work very well. Here, we test if simple instructions to agents to use particular techniques or libraries improve implementation correctness, as a kind of test to see how effective agents are when guided by someone with no expertise in testing who's maybe heard that you should…

Antiquated HTML Snippets and Artefacts

🔥 Check out this awesome post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: With ever-changing devices, browsers, operating systems, form factors, specifications, personal preferences, tooling, and corporate interests, the web is in a constant state of flux. As a result, so is the HTML we write. For every line of the HTML specification itself that has changed since the language’s inception, there are many more bits of HTML that have seen what I’ll call ‘environmental’ changes. Adaptations to differing browsers, extensions, integrations, and systems which we find HTML existing in. This article doesn’t cover once-specced but now…

The box an agent runs in — Rohan Adwankar

🔥 Explore this must-read post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: One awesome product evolution is that agents (Claude Code, Instinct, Poke, etc) are moving off our local computers so that we can use them on our phones. Ultimately this is great for the customer because that means the agent companies provide us with VMs for them to run on! Here's some notes on how the major platforms work based on looking around on ws-term.
