Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/Sam Spade

thread_title: W00t

message: I think we need to treat this request just like an article dispute - work towards some agreement. -- Netoholic @ 18:23, 2004 Oct 8 (UTC)
:I'm not certain this is a very useful exercise. It is obvious that community sentiment on Sam Spade has been shifting. I think adminship is a bigger deal than "no big deal" but not this big a deal. If the nomination fails, and he continues to improve his community status, a new proposal can always be brought up in a month or later. -- Cecropia | explains it all® 20:32, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  New attempt at consensus 

message: Sam's political views are irrelevant, except to the extent they may improve the diversity on the site.  His objections to God not being capitalized and to "right wing" characterizations appear well founded, especially from a US perspective, where the right wing is more equivilent to "classical or constitutional liberalism", than to the totalilitarianism associated with the right and the left (sheesh, what a choice) in Europe.  I've always advoated a left-right totalitarian-anarchy scale.
What I do see troublesome about Sam's contribution, is that they are often unsubstantitive wise cracks rather that comments which will further the discussion, I'd have to see the context however.  Sometimes, such comments are to mimic or mock the lack of substance in an opposing post, by clever copying of the phrasiology.  I would be inclined to switch to neutral on my vote, and investigate further, if this did not appear to be an underhanded late attack.--Silverback 23:16, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Religious war

message: It is a common misconception that the Troubles in Northern Ireland was a religious war, but it wasn't. We should remove all mention of the troubles in this wiki page (it's in the religious wars of europe timeline) to stop further confusion about the Troubles. Paokara777 (talk) 04:36, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Troubles 

message: I notice some bias here. I feel like the author of this article may have tried to write it so like religion comes out blameless by making very narrow definitions on what it considers religious reasons, dismissing many wars because they also made material gains. 
Example:
Ghenghis Khan was litterally the messenger of Tengri, the entirity of the mongol conquest should definitely be clasified as a religious war, even if it's a religion Western Scholars dismiss and the mongols where friendly towards other religions (as long as Tengri was greatest) after those conquests and is not as totalitarian as Abrahamic relgions.
Also: regardless of secular gains, would it not be more logical to look at reasons for mobilization? Of course most people at the top have (mis)used religion for political gains since it's conception, but that does not take away that the millions actually getting slaughtered did in fact believe they were fighting for their god(s) 94.111.220.203 (talk) 14:49, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

Talk:High-level assembler

message: A VANDAL HAS DELETED ALL THE INFO Belgian man 19:43, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems okay now? Zuiram 09:08, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

message: IMHO this subject should be deleted, because the term "high level assembler" is not established.
I think I'm an assembler expert. None of my 20 or so books contains the term "high level assembler", and on the internet I only find the vagaries of Randall Hide. Adding conditional compilation, macro's or facilities to more easily call external facilities (in higher level languages like C) are unsufficient ground. Especially not because it is hard to find a serious tool that doesn't allow for conditional compilation and/or macro's. Once there are macro's you can easily add facilities for external calls. 
If the information here is to be salvaged, the subject should be renamed. Even so the information could better be distributed over subjects like "calling high level languages from assembler" . A good article would probably be dismissed as "original research".
80.100.243.19 (talk) 16:28, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right about the Hyde system not being a real high level assembler despite its name - it's clearly a programming language, modelled on C# or some other equivalent modern language.  However the term most definitely was in common use in the 60's and 70's.  I've added a reference link to Hamish Dewar's "HAL70" (the 70 refers to the Interdata minis, not the year) which was published in 1975.  If you read the manual it is very clearly in the style as described in the article section.  Dewar's HAL was relatively portable, and was also implemented for the ICL7502 editing station (by Dewar) as well as for the ICL 2900 series and the DEC KMC11 by others. 70.124.38.160 (talk) 05:39, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

message: ESPOL seems to be more than just an assembler, even a "high-level" assembler; it does more than just "[provide] an ALGOL-like syntax around explicitly-specified Burroughs B5000 machine instructions" - it allows, for example, arbitrary high-level-language-style expressions, not just explicitly specified operand call and arithmetic instructions.
It's more of a system programming language, in that, while you can, at least with the B5xxx ESPOL, use  to write machine-language instructions directly, and can make various machine-specific references, that's not the only kind of code you can put inside higher-language control flow constructs.
