My ancient assembler info is still relevant, it seems

Google reporting on my site says that the most common search phrase in December was:

in arm, ______________ register is same across all processor modes while ________________register is specific to each mode with an exception of user and system mode

And who is looking for all this information about R<8 and R13? Indians. With more hits than the UK (2nd place) and USA (3rd place) combined.

Can’t help but think something like that ought to be like page two of the textbook…

Be thankful that someone seems to care about registers in this day and age!

Don’t blame the students, Rick – but definitely do blame the tutors. Sadly, I know this from my own nephew’s experience. He is one of the students in question.

One of my nieces, his cousin, suffered similarly.

Or seek a job as an IT “manager”¹ where you don’t seem to need to know anything much? The one’s who excel on micro-managing people and totally miss the “IT”

¹ I suppose I should state that my job title includes the word manager² and is actually long enough that at the standard door text sizes would probably exceed the width of the door² which would amuse my father.

The one’s who

where you don’t seem to need to know anything much?

I think that largely depends upon cronyism – re. Dido Harding.

Indeed, not paying enough attention. Reading Americanisms in reports of Trump’s incitement to riot doesn’t help either.
