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.

Find out how source code is compiled for different programming languages and computer architectures, including the evolution from FORTRAN to CLR and JIT compilers.

Did you know that you already speak fluent machine code? Turns out human language is now computer programming code. So says none other than Nvidia's outspoken CEO, Jensen Huang.

Machine code acts as a reminder that, on a fundamental level, everything inside your computer is passing nano-Morse code back and forth to do everything you see on the screen as well as all the ...

Programming for quantum computers requires understanding quantum mechanics and creating code that can handle the complexities of the multiverse.

Virtually all compilers — programs that transform human-readable source code into computer-executable machine code — are vulnerable to an insidious attack in which an adversary can introduce ...

The working replica of the Heath Robinson code-breaking machine that was used to read secret top-level Nazi messages during the Second World War was unveiled by wartime Wren Irene Dixon.

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.

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 ...
