Bread80Adding the keyboard input routines to the emulator took a bit more work. Mostly trying to find the correct routines in <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/FreePascal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreePascal</a> (KeyPressed and ReadKey). (Read and Readln are both buffered - they read a line and only return when the user hits enter).<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/quiche" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#quiche</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/quichelang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#quichelang</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/compiler" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#compiler</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/z80" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#z80</a>

skrzypRemember that one post from a week ago (<a href="https://ohai.social/@skrzyp/114869983737781401" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://ohai.social/@skrzyp/114869983737781401</a>) when I had my <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/WTF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WTF</a> moment at <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/FreePascal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreePascal</a> compiler for 16-bit <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/DOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DOS</a> and actually filled a detailed bug about this? (<a href="https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source/-/issues/41337" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source/-/issues/41337</a>)I’ve just had a sudden urge to check something a little bit different and, to no surprise, GUESS WHAT.I have no words.

jnsI absolutely loathe web development, yet I've been having to work on implementing a webshop from scratch, as I'm trying to start up a laser business. To make the experience slightly less painful, I implemented the backend in <a href="https://mastodon.linkerror.com/tags/freepascal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#freepascal</a> ; as most out of the ready-made solutions are evil in various ways. (eg: <a href="https://tech.slashdot.org/story/25/04/08/1518213/shopify-ceo-says-staffers-need-to-prove-jobs-cant-be-done-by-ai-before-asking-for-more-headcount" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://tech.slashdot.org/story/25/04/08/1518213/shopify-ceo-says-staffers-need-to-prove-jobs-cant-be-done-by-ai-before-asking-for-more-headcount</a> ) -- It's just about done, the only bit I need to finish yet is some sort of solution for shipping/tracking info. I've been looking into ShipStation and actually started implementing their API('s); learned they just acquired the ShipEngine company, leading to some API confusion - which lead me to look more into the company.It turns out that the same company that recently acquired them (Auctane) owns a myriad of shipping-type companies, including stamps.com, endicia, shippingeasy, shipworks, and many others,...It seems to me that they put themselves in a position where there's basically few alternatives. If you think about how much e-commerce integrates with at least one of these, you quickly realize that most of what pretty much anyone buys online goes through one of the companies owned by them, which means they know what everyone buys, their name, their home address, etc,...This absolutely sounds like a <a href="https://mastodon.linkerror.com/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#privacy</a> scandal waiting to happen.Needless to say, I'm not going to be using ShipStation. I guess I'll just try to use ups/fedex/whatever directly then. Back to the drawing board. :( It never fails to blow my mind that whenever you turn over even the most benign rock, you'll find some billionaire sucking our society dry. Nothing seems immune to <a href="https://mastodon.linkerror.com/tags/enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#enshittification</a> these days.(Probably a surprise to no-one that actually deals with this stuff on a regular basis - but like i said, i've not been doing webdev in a long time, and actively avoid the www even as a user, I've been a bit out of the loop)

skrzypI thought it might be a good idea to reach to the basics trying to debug that <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/FreePascal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreePascal</a> bug which makes even simplest programs fail to run on i8086/msdos (my <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/TP7" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TP7</a> game port still “”works””, until it reaches <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/DOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DOS</a> API calls). So thought it might be possible to target the #8086 and run <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/MartyPC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MartyPC</a> by <a href="https://oldbytes.space/@gloriouscow" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@gloriouscow</a> While I pretty much know that the code jumps somewhere randomly and then goes along executing emptiness, I still need to find out why… and how to set breakpoints on INTs :p
