Thanks all, this is probably a very good starting point

Can't find that chapter here: https://www.amazon.com/Designing-Web-APIs-Building-Developer...

am I looking at a the right edition ?

Thanks for writing this.

I mean .. use whatever you feel comfortable with, make sure you understand what you're doing, the terminal is the closest interface to the OS.

I personally use it a lot but this arguments have been going on over (and over)+ again. And it won't be the last time :-)

Many of us have come across them at uni I guess - but there are so many books around. This one always made me smile a bit :

Introduction to Algorithms : Hardcover 1312 pages

Introduction ? :-)

Anyway I envy you guys, now things tend to be too high level and you lose that holistic view of the computing machine.

Back than you felt pretty skilled I am sure, now I feel anybody could do my job, often. Unless you are working for the big 4 or similar, many jobs don't give you that excitement.

I must have been a bloody hard and interesting work, back then.

I am a bit puzzled by this:

"Before about the early 90s, we didn’t trust C compilers, so we wrote in assembly."

There a lot of games released during the 80's, were they really all written in assembly ?

I don't have experience in the game industry at all, I must add.

We need to be more efficient to beat them, there are not other ways.

I have been a Linux user for more than a decade - recently switched to OpenBSD and I must say I agree.

Linux has become a chaotic place to be, I agree.

Me too. I need safe cyber-space to be in :-)

It makes you think of Henry Ford.

I depend on the JVM in my mind traslates to "my target is the JVM"

You are "dependent" if you want on the RunTime (rt.jar). The way it was explained to me, and the model which I sticking to in my mind is:

Abstract Machine/language + RunTime = Level of the onions of a computer.

Assembly/CPU + libc Bytecode/JVM + rt.jar

The language manipulates the resources provided by the machine (registers, stack-machine etc etc).

My recollections are fading though - but I found this model to be good enough to explain me well how a computer works.

Not sure. I have seen people having two windows: 1. Vim 2. Terminal for compiling

I found it quite handy, then I discovered Emacs :-) We could stay on the subject for years I reckon.

Actually I use it in place of screen. I always thought of it as "a better screen"

pulsarpietro

vor 8 Jahrendiscuss

Yeah, that is what I was taught as well. From one abstract machine to another.

If we think about it javac would not be a compiler otherwise :-)

Well done!
