Found it, part of my ASCII.s stdlib. Came up with a change, which compiles to about 24 bytes, compared to about 55 bytes, but uses a loop. These print out the tenths, hundredths, and thousandths places of a decimal number; I think I'll keep the former code, since it is branchless, I/O aside, and since I might want to remove the thousandths place anyway (since Q16+8 numbers aren't quite that precise).

It is too late. Off to some sleep 😕

Yeah, definitely appears to be part of that function. That's modulo code for sure, too.

I'm finding this sequence multiple times; part of it or exactly this keeps on appearing in my compiler's output. I think it's performing a modulo by the Q16+8 value 10.0, then converting the number to ASCII then printing it. Part of the Q16+8 decimal print function, I think.
(Also - 0x30 is ASCII '0', not 'H')

Can't believe I've gotten to the point where I'm looking through hex and disassembling code with a table of opcodes and [pseudo]register specs. Never thought I'd get here. Didn't even know that this "here" existed when I was young.

I was looking at an aquarium, watching the fish swim, and thought it would be cool if there were creatures that could swim through the air. Then I realized that those are basically just birds....

@royal Oh that's bad.
Thankfully on most setups the TV/monitor is separate, so you can hit mute without the Roku knowing right ..? For now anyway ..!

Besides, executables are generally produced from a very high level, from a compiler. Why add complexity and subjectiveness to make hex dumps easier to read (for example)?

Address spaces are in ascending order, but for writing numbers, place value is in *descending* order. In my opinion, the little-endian byte order gets it technically right by having a consistent and logical order, just ascending. The big-endian byte order mixes the two, with addresses increasing but byte "place-value" descending.

I'm glad Trump survived, not because I think the US needs him (I don't think that) but because I'm glad political violence failed to hit the target. #democracy

@Gargron Didn't think you posted this kind of content...

@christopher I didn't expect him to say that at all, I wonder if he really means it or has a different reason....

(Except I think it'd've been better to call him *former* president Trump)

I'd boost this post but I think my server blocks threads.net:

Not like I'm a fan of Zuckerberg personally, but well-said. Not a Trump fan either.
But political violence undermines democracy.
