There is one for Windows already.

There was an Edit for Windows too. :-)

And if you are going to re-write it in cross-platform code you might as well target Windows too. A single codebase for updates going forward.

How do you think 64-bit windows applications are made? It's called ml64.exe, comes with Visual Studio. As for cross-platform MASM compatible look at UASM.

I'd go NASM, but I'd prefer MASM to be cross platform. A single source code implementation for assembly based projects. Yeah, calling conventions differ, some of that can be dealt with via macros, minimizing the conditional assembly.

Comment Re:Germany had to increase coal usage (Score 1) 198

The nuclear plants are not replaced by gas plants but by solar and wind. You must live under a rock.

LOL. A trans-ukrainian pipeline, NordStream 1, and NordStream 2 were all planned and designed and created for a reason. And that was that reality did not match German politics.

LMFAO. Why am I not surprised.

In reality, Germany ditched nuclear for Russian natural gas. That is incorrect. Germany ditched nuclear power for solar and wind. You live in an alternate universe or believe the propaganda of that algebra idiot.

LOL. A trans-ukrainian pipeline, NordStream 1, and NordStream 2 were all planned and designed and created for a reason. And that was that reality did not match German politics.

There never was a plan to replace nuclear power with gas.

It happened. Are you claiming it was unplanned?

The plan always was and still is: water, wind and solar. You are either completely stupid or utterly misinformed.

Except for the parts where they need a trans-ukrainian pipeline, NordStream 1, and NordStream 2.

Should an emergency occur the Marine Corps heavy lift helicopters would deliver the generators.

They did the same in Fukushim ... That the local emergency generators got flooded first: only shows their utter incompetence

Which is my point, that the failing was one of operations management. That there were additional problems does not undermine this glaring evidence of bad planning. Bad planning in general is perhaps the reason that the US Coal industry has released more radiation into the environment that the US Nuclear industry.

Comment Re:Reactors can consume high level waste as fuel (Score 1) 198

More than 90% of its potential energy still remains in the fuel, even after fiveyears of operation in a reactor. That is nonsense.

Take it up with the US Department of Energy. They are the one who I quoted.

LOL. That explains a lot. You take Greta's word. I'll stick with the DOE's.

Nuclear doesn't displace any specific thing. It's a competitive product in the energy production market and not targeted to any single source.

You are conflating theory with reality, In reality, Germany ditched nuclear for Russian natural gas. When that didn't work they were forced to use more coal. So the remove of nuclear led to increased natural gas, then to increased coal.

Now when people talk about increasing nuclear, do they refer to replacing renewables or do refer to removing coal, oil, and natural gas? You know it's the latter.

Renewables are not threatened by nuclear; coal, oil, and natural gas are threatened.

That has never worked. The lie that this would be possible has been pushed for > 40 years now though, so you are in good, if despicable and repulsive company.

Sorry, but you are conflating what was not built for political reasons and what "does not work". Various research reactors were shutdown as rewards to greens for political support, their designs not pursued much farther as a result.

However reality is:
"Spent nuclear fuel can be recycled to make new fuel and byproducts. More than 90% of its potential energy still remains in the fuel, even after fiveyears of operation in a reactor. The United States does not currently recycle spent nuclear fuel but foreign countries, such as France, do. There are also someadvanced reactor designs in development that could consume or run on spent nuclear fuel in the future."
