What Hacker News says
7 sourcesAsk HN: Admitting this is beyond what I can understand in this lifetime
Hi,
I sometimes feel overwhelmed by the amount of new things I need to learn. Today it happened again when I tried to understand what happens here (https://github.com/levskaya/jslinux-deobfuscated/blob/master/cpux86-ta.js): http://bellard.org/jslinux/.
I sometimes feel that so much knowledge is something that I will never be able to grasp no matter how much I study.
I think I'm a good developer... but this is certainly not something I can do and it makes me feel minuscule.
How do I stay on track ?

In Writing an x86 emulator in JavaScriptI have no idea, I only remember people trying to reverse it https://github.com/levskaya/jslinux-deobfuscated
In QEMU 1.6.0 is now availableYou're probably right, but it's been up over a year now that I can see, the code commits are from Dec 2011:
https://github.com/levskaya/jslinux-deobfuscated/commits/mas...
So by now it's likely that Fabrice Bellard is aware of it
