Yes and no. Someone like Ian with the experiences and expertise is best suited to lead the work, and those of us who had only been users till now are expected to contribute also.
Another issue with Z80/8080 instruction set, if I remember correctly, is that they are not orthogonal in regards to the registers. Some opcodes only work with registers B and C, others only with D and E, and so forth.
The ugliness of x86 instruction set has a long root.
Speed of Z80 at 4Mhz was comparable to that of 65xx at 1Mhz - many of Z80 instructions took more cycles to execute than those of 65xx. Sort of CISC-vs.-RISC before the phrase/concepts were invented.
Mod this up. Your clients wants nicely edited and formatted reports that they can simply open and read - it saves them time. That's what they pay you for.
I'm one of these grumpies. Some of what I had to say may be useful to the wet-behind-the-year dopes. Not likely, though, because, back when I was at their age, I didn't listen to the old geezers, and that both helped me as well as screwed me.
So, given the rapid speed of change in the landscape of IT industry, I have to wonder how relevant our experiences and lessons would be to the young'uns.

Damn straight.
Ian Jackson, if you choose to accept the mission ...
Fuck me. I bit tim's troll.
Slashdot, the TMZ of tech web, and that's an insult to TMZ.
"for variety of reasons". Who are we kidding? It's the fucking systemd by Redhat's Poettering.
A new magazine says it will donate half the "profit."
Why not 257%?
This should be a trillion dollar suit.
And bogus FTDI marking on the package.
It's their damn driver for their own damn chip. Don't like it? Use something else.
Transfer my ass. Don't use their driver if you don't want it.
"A reasonable company would go after the manufacturers of fake chips, not the consumers who are most likely unaware they have a fake chip."
You go try to chase down random Chinese outfits pumping out fake chips.
Quantifying something as dubious as IQ ... and then linking to genes ... makes astrology look respectable.
Send them to fed for couple months at least. The fine is not even a slap on the wrist. What's the point?
If we stop eating octopus because they are smart, should we eat dumb humans?

"Only" 64KB? Kids these days...

So... what you are saying, if I'm getting you right, is that Indian mission sent a Tata Nano to Mars, whereas NASA sent a Chevy Suburban...?
Don't know. Don't have ipad/phone. Go and have a look. If it sucks, tell'em. At least they TRY.
If you think slashdot has sunk beyond repair, go over to SoylentNews.org and help them grow.
Fuck you dice and your bogus planted "stories". That's my answer.
CxO is a whore.
How about you give me a reason to bite your click bait.
