Ill probably just write "Hello World" then get bored and not lock for another 5+ years!

Actually, I'd like to follow you and close it... You know, I haven't closed anything for a month...

@HoLyVieRUNIONDOEVILSQL Winner.

@PavelShved haha i was going to say "and Pavel will probably be one of the close votes"

you beat me to it

@Fosco you know, I'm a grown up 10k man! I have needs! I need to close something!

I was up to 90 before I moved. Only missed one day....

@Wil and if you just want to mess around, you can just fire up VC++ and write some inline assembler

is 100 consecutive the last badge for visiting daily?

@Fosco you never know...

If there suddenly appears anothe rbadge for 1k consecutive visits, you wouldn't want to start it over

hah

8:03 PM

So you'd better do it in advance

no i think i'll stop caring at 100

but i WANT to visit daily

@PavelShved I wouldn't thought so - it isn't like that - just looking for the latest and only the latest version

@Fosco ta

@Fosco but think about it, someone with lesser contribution will receive this badge... and you won't!

@Wil Also look around for Borland TASM. That's what I grew up on.

@PavelShved I'm sure they have that first platinum badge available, and it's only unlisted because it's not possible for anyone to have achieved it yet....

@spoulson but you don't use diapers you grew up on today, do you?

@spoulson and @GregHewgill thanks - I am writing this down, I really don't have a clue here, but I will look all these things up

@Shog9 what the heck... so there are 2 software engineering proposals?

No. That's the original - it just got... a... facelift? Extreme liposuction?

8:05 PM

@Shog9 oh my god, what Robert has done there???

@Wil after taking a quick look, it seems TASM falls in the same out of date condition. Not sure how useful it'd be in modern non-DOS environments anymore.

@Wil GCC?

@PavelShved I <3 TASM

@spoulson TBH, this is just for a bit of fun - only really want to do Windows/command prompt, hence why I was looking at MASM because of all of the example code on MSDN

@PavelShved I guess the concern was, the biggest proponents didn't intend it to be "yet another programming SE"... and yet, that's what got voted up as on-topic.

@Wil Then chances are the 2006 version will work fine as well.

Greg Hewgill

seriously, nasm is a no-brainer choice. It's free, up to date, open source, tons of documentation, etc

Q: What happened to the Software Engineering proposal?

8:07 PM

0

The proposal for a Software Engineering Stack Exchange site seems to have disappeared. Over the weekend, it achieved 100% commitment. However, I am no longer able to find this proposal. It has been removed from my user page. What happened?

@Wil MASM syntax really hasn't changed since I started asm coding back around 1990

@Shog9 I was committed to that proposal before, but wouldn't now.. ok thanks.

@Shog9 oh...my...god!...

(and I'm an atheist)

@spoulson any idea if it is compatible with the MS samples? I really only want to mess around with samples and edit a bit here and there, not really full on programming a big app...
