The History os x86: From 4004 to 486
🔗pikuma.com/blog/history-of-x…
Why is x86 little-endian? Why are registers called AX, BX, CX, and DX? Why do DOS addresses use the format A000:0000, and why does the modern PC still wakes up pretending to be a chip from 1978?

C's Flexible Integer Sizes were Not a Mistake:

I thought it was a good idea to write a blog post on the whole C fixed-size integers that we briefly spoke about yesterday. I believe this will be a good future resource for beginners.
Had to redesign the website a fair bit. I went with an early 00's plastic look. It was hard to design a navbar theme with the giant stone background. Also because I used a large jpg it devoured memory on old machines. Now everythings a gif and loads much faster on DOS etc..
My website viewed from the Arachne web browser. I've made great progress on it. Not super happy with the navbar text but at least it's something to work with. Also not sure why Arachne cuts off the navbar image. Oddly it does not load the other table images either. But gifs work!
After two days of hard work I finally managed to fully convert the tutorials over from web archive to my site. I am really glad I found and converted them. They load so much faster on my servers. Link below!

Painting Hair Tutorial By Jezebel. I almost have all of these archived. Just a few more left to do! Honestly so many really great tutorials/guides lost to time :/. Not even @waybackmachine could save them all sadly. Link below!

I've started making new archives of old photoshop / art tutorials. One of the first ones live is the old Jezebel fur tutorial. Link below

Re-writing my website in HTML4 no CSS. The website loads in Arachne quite well though I can see some adjustments I may need to make. Website is designed for 800x600 min. I have a great deal of misc things to clean up. But overall this is looking great!
Assembly was used a fair bit in the 70s/80s and into the 90s. Still is in memory limited and/or performance critical area's(FFMPEG). That aside it's scary to think a programmer would stop reading and thinking on software others will use.
