who is the best asm coder in the world
You!
:alright:
:alright:
You!
:alright:
thanks for destroying my dreams :(
:grin:
Who cares? and who knows? :tongue:
betov
:grin:
:grin:
betov
:grin:
:grin: I think he's the only one... (in his not so humble opinion)
Actually Robert Noyce is dead so I have to find some-one else for my vote, I'll pick Randall Hyde just to piss off Betov :grin:
Given current California politics I'd have to vote for an actor that also programs in ASM -- I'm still looking -- any actors here? :grin:
Michael Abrash. But he still couldnt optimize quake enough to run fast on my Cyrix >=|
=P
=P
And Michael Abrash might nominate Terje Mathiesen.
How would anyone know? I don't understand the question...

At this stage it's just a popularity contest - no criteria has been set as a standard.
You magnificent bastad! Always there with the silver bullet? Well, I guess it goes with the silver tongue :p

Maybe.... maybe... Angelina Jolie? :grin:
I remember her in a (crappy) movie called 'Hackers', but I don't remember her coding (of course, in the movie) asm. :tongue:
Angelina Jolie *purr* *purr*
vraiment 'jolie' cette femme :)

Error: (E8079) Unable to process inqury - "best" is undefined.
What do you mean by best? Is it who nows the most asm variants/dialects, knows all (x86, z80, MIPS, and all others) mnenomics in the head, writes the most optimal code, writes the easiest to read code? :confused:

She didn't. But Jonny Lee Miller could figure out what a program was doing by looking at a few dozen pages of hexdump - if that's not 1337 :tongue:
Anyway, I'd like to nominate Ryan Phillippe for his great appearance in AntiTrust.
My favourite scene:
Ryan (looking at some Java web server code): "Wow... Who did this? ... The compression is awesome! Structure's perfect..." :grin:
Suggestion :
A) 50 % fast code
B) 30 % easy to understand code
C) 20 % brilliant ideas and misc
A) As long as we do not have self-optimized processor code, it is important the developer to be tricky and know appropriate algorithms. As someone said (Maverick, I think) our brain is our best tool
B) Understanding someone else is so hard... the same for his programs. We need a common language and why not the same coding style/conventions.
C) We have limited resources : the worse is "one-brain" and "one-life" time.
I saw Terminator 3 on movie this month, and I was quite depressed thinking of it.
Skynet is so intelligent... the software is able to take initiatives, to code itself... to act like a human (for instance, hiding its intentions to kill mankind) ; how many centuries (3, 4, 5 ?) will be needed to perform such amazing tasks, to bring machine to human level, to have a program able to write programs, to fetch the right data for it, to self-optimize, not to talk about modelization of basic human behaviour... OK, let us be optimistic a bit now : hardware is much better. We'll soon have gigs of mem and hertz for a single standard computer... fine.
So I think a good programmer should be able to develop toops that will help developing faster and easier.

By that time the (super) computers already has passed the human processing abillities - the question is, how much trust and power will we put on it's circuits? The way I see it we are getting to dependant on coputers, unless something big happensa we will become intergrated with computers (or they with us) - there are already ppl walking the world as cybernetic beeings (ppl with pacemakers for instance, they have an electronic device intergrated in their system - and they have biological components - thus they're cybernetic). It wouldn't surprise me if ppl would be walking around with an intergrated monitor in their eyes - they simply conect to the computer using the wireless GreenFeets 2, and the audio, it's send via the hearing nerves directly (bypassing the ear drums).
And Michael Abrash might nominate Terje Mathiesen.
Who is Terje Mathiesen?
