- Debay’s Slough Wildlife Area Unit (wdfw.wa.gov)
The Johnson/DeBay’s Slough Unit is comprised of agricultural fields, riparian forest, and freshwater wetlands. The unit was purchased in the late 1990’s to provide an undisturbed Game Reserve for trumpeter swans as well as to provide limited waterfowl hunting area. Public access in the Game Reserve area is limited to the parking/viewing area at the end of DeBay Island Road and the mowed grass field to the east of the Game Reserve parking area. Waterfowl hunting is allowed in the portion of DeBay’s Slough to the north of DeBay Island Road and the adjacent field to the east of DeBay’s Slough.
- Reverse-engineering the register codes for the 8086 processor’s microcode (righto.com)
Like most processors, the Intel 8086 (1978) provides registers that are faster than main memory. As well as the registers that are visible to the programmer, the 8086 has a handful of internal registers that are hidden from the user. Internally, the 8086 has a complicated scheme to select which register to use, with a combination of microcode and hardware. Registers are assigned a 5-bit identifying number, either from the machine instruction or from the microcode. In this blog post, I explain how this register system works.
