  • Don’t take this as advice to ignore the picketers, this is a genuine question because I don’t understand.

    Wouldn’t it be more effective to have MORE people do the games today, and for them to disable ads and trackers when they do? Put strain on the services while the workers are on strike, highlighting the need for them.

  • Technically assembly is a human-readable, paper-thin abstraction of the machine code. It really only implements one additional feature over raw machine code and that’s labels, which prevents you from having to rewrite jump and goto instructions EVERY TIME you refactor upstream code to have a different number of instructions.

    So not strictly the bunch of bits. But very close to it.
