Assembly is now ACE-emmbly, for pride month.

In the tech space there are many recursive acronyms (PIP Installs Packages, GNU's Not Unix, PHP Hypertext Processor, etc) and here at assembly we don't want to lack behind, so from now on ASSEMBLY officially stands for: ASSEMBLY Seems Speedy, but Eventually Memory Begins Leaking, Yikes!

People say it's silly to need a comment on every line, but have you ever tried reading python code written by a mathematician or scientist who loves list comprehension, and doesn't write a single comment? Yeah, I'll take well commented assembly everyday.

Bouldering is like programming; You spend hours (and lots of caffeine) trying to solve a problem. When it's a fun problem you keep thinking about it all the time and want to work on it every free minute you have; and then when you've finally solved it you achieve happiness for all of three seconds before you move to the next problem. It's an eternal cycle of days/weeks of frustration followed by a very short burst of intense euphoria.

I love you too!

Don't even think about using me if you don't know exactly how and where you want to use me. And the same goes for assembly programming.

"A picture says a thousand words"

actually an uncompressed 16x9 1080p image has 3*1080*1920=6220800 Bytes. Modern CPUs use 64 bit words at most. So the image tells 6220800/64=97200 words. For it to tell a thousand words it would need to be compressed by a factor of 97.2. No compression algorithm can reliably achieve that. A picture says a lot more than a thousand words.
