2024-05-22 03:12:25 <thrig       > x86 is kinda like a Saturn-V bolted onto an 8086

2024-05-22 04:08:06 <Al2O3       > simple instruction sets are lovely.
2024-05-22 04:08:36 <Al2O3       > x86 and beyond has been macro ass-em dating way back 20 years prior, layered on with complexity for the sake of dealing with large fat pipes.
2024-05-22 04:08:37 <zelgomer    > so when you use a forth assembler, do you expect the destination to be the left operand or the right operand?  a b c add, ( what's the destinstion reg, a or c?)
2024-05-22 04:09:21 <Al2O3       > a b c add3 would work.
2024-05-22 04:09:38 <Al2O3       > a b c add would => a b+c
2024-05-22 04:10:00 <Al2O3       > its stack based, top of stack is right most on the stack.
2024-05-22 04:10:20 <Al2O3       > a is bottom, b is middle, c is top
2024-05-22 04:10:29 <Al2O3       > 1 2 3 add in most cases unless elon musk thinking...   -> 1 5
2024-05-22 04:10:34 <Al2O3       > hope that helps.
2024-05-22 04:10:38 <Al2O3       > good night.
2024-05-22 04:10:57 <zelgomer    > it doesn't, actually. i think you're drunk.

2024-05-22 14:34:43 <veltas      > zelgomer: I think you should do what most closely matches the manual
2024-05-22 14:34:59 <veltas      > Putting the mnemonic at end is one thing, but changing order of args as well is diabolical
2024-05-22 14:35:14 <veltas      > So basically fuck gas, gas can go to hell

2024-05-22 17:42:59 <rendar      > traveler, fun, in which language did you implement it?
2024-05-22 17:45:11 <traveler    > rendar: the POS terminal was a gforth appliation running in Termux on an Android tablet. My gforth application would append to a csv in the Termux filesystem and sync that to a remote machine for backups.
