@neauoire Hi! I never know what I'm doing, but I just keep on trying things. Nobody's caught on and it's been like 20 years.

@neauoire @jkb Once you reach "salt is not vegan", wouldn't it possibly be worth it to adjust one's starting point for "vegan"? I ask because I've been vegan myself and never known a vegan to use your particular definition, preferring instead "no animal products" style definitions.

@cancel @neauoire @electret @matilde I'd buy that for a dollar, but I think it's all a question of frame of reference. I remember C++ from the 90s, for example.

@cancel @neauoire @electret @matilde They're smart. C++ is objectively terrible and only started to approach "okay" as of C++14

@neauoire The idea feels plausible, but I'd love to know who those "some" are and see their work a little more first.

@neauoire @treed Legit. I've never tried to use cc65 outside a standard amd64 Ubuntu environment.

@neauoire @treed What made you switch?

@treed @neauoire It could be. Like I mentioned and it upthread, I just do things that way because I've always done it that way and it keeps the instructions visually separate from the labels and other stuff. I've actually never really thought much harder on it.

@treed @neauoire I, too, found ca65 the easiest to cope with.

@gueorgui It appears to be a 286. My understanding is that those cannot run Linux because they're not 32-bit and I don't think there's a 16-bit x86 port of Linux. But you can run Minix on it! I used to have a Minix 286.

@neauoire A linter for assembly? FANCY! There are probably many sane ways to format assembly. Anything that makes sure you don't lose your labels, decl, and subroutines in the visual noise is probably fine. But most ASM I've seen doesn't, say, do double-indent for "nested loops" and the like.

@neauoire I don't have a style guide; there's very little to really style in assembly coding. I use a style I learned from imitating others...column 1 is for declarations, labels (incl subroutines), and comments. Everything else tends to be indented. There's really not any code that isn't relative to a label, so that basically means all code is slightly indented. 😉

@neauoire I'm afraid I don't know how any of that works. Given the wiki's connection to the forums, and the forums being quite old, and how hard I find it to use forums effectively, I kinda gave up.

@neauoire I'm glad my little NES lab exercises could be of benefit. The NESdev Wiki often includes good ideas but not a lot in the way of teachable examples, so I figured I'd try to fill that gap by making my own little lab exercises myself.

@neauoire BTW, what are you using for graphics in that screenshot there?
