- Julia Glass: "Grieving Lessons", New York Times (May 4, 2012).
gollark: If I wasn't currently writing test code by hand as hexadecimal strings, I might do what MIPS does and make opcodes 6 bits and register indices 5 bits.
gollark: Currently it just means "print all registers", but most information is there.
gollark: ```instructions (everything >8 bits is big endian):HALT - 00 - halt executionNOP - 01 - do nothingPEEK - 02 [register 1][register 2] [16-bit constant] - load value at (constant + ri2) in memory into ri1POKE - 03 [register 1][register 2] [16-bit constant] - ↑ but other way roundADD - 04 [register 1][register 2] [16-bit constant] - save (constant + ri2) to ri1JEQ - 05 [register 1][register 2] [16-bit constant] - set program counter to constant if ri1 = ri2JNE - 06 [register 1][register 2] [16-bit constant] - set program counter to constant if ri1 != ri2JLT - 07 [register 1][register 2] [16-bit constant] - set program counter to constant if ri1 < ri2TEST - FF - print debug information```
gollark: Well, Lua makes bitops like that kind of annoying, so maybe I'll just put "implement signed numbers" down as "later" rather than "never".
gollark: Hopefully nobody will notice.
