    build-once run-anywhere c library

  • AT&T syntax is the most elite syntax. I've used it to write some famous hacks, like Actually Portable Executable. What makes AT&T syntax so powerful is its tight cooperation with the GNU linker. I don't think it would have been possible for me to invent APE had I been using tools like NASM and YASM. https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/blob/master/ape/ape.S

  • uzics

    8-bit UNIX-like operating system for the z80

  • The 8086 was (barely) capable of running Unix, whereas the Z-80 definitely was not.

    You're wrong ;-)

    Neither the 8086 nor the Z80 have virtual memory. The x86 has a larger instruction set and address space (1MB) but as it turns out, early Unix kernels didn't need that much RAM either.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
