Building a retro computer of some sort is a rite of passage for many of us, with some building replicas or restorations of old Commodores, Ataris, and other machines from decades past. Others go ...

Machine code is seen as an untouchable omnipresent super-being that is better to simply be in awe of than to have to deal with it.

Machine-learning algorithms can behave unpredictably, and code generated by a machine might harbor harmful bugs unless it is scrutinized carefully.

You might have heard the terms "assembly language" and "machine code" but what do they mean? Let's find out.

Subsequent machine and assembly languages allowed users to program computers in code, but both still required an intimate knowledge of the computer’s architecture, putting the languages out of ...

Pretty Much All Computer Code Can Be Hijacked by Newly Discovered ‘Trojan Source’ Exploit A new research paper shows that all of the world's computer code is vulnerable to one particular exploit.

Understanding what modern code analysis and transformation techniques can and can't do is a prerequisite for research on both software engineering and computer architecture, since hardware relies on ...

A Science of Operations examines the history of what we now call programming, defined not simply as computer programming, but more broadly as the definition of the steps involved in computations and ...
