I am proficient in a quite a number of programming languages, but the ones I like the most are: Haskell - which is a compiled, functional, pure language with strict static typing. Lua - very small, fast and versatile interpreted dynamic language The ones that I don't use a lot, but like nevertheless, are Prolog, Brainfuck, Idris and Terra. If you don't know them, you just might find them interesting. I also spend a considerable amount of my time drawing stuff on the computer screen with code. I have a quite active GitHub account with a lot of Open Source contributions. I can be found at The Lounge, and according to it, I'm a terrible person.

When debugging x86 assembly code in VS2013, I needed to check the contents of the FLAGS register. However, when I've enabled "Flags" in Register Window, I got:
OV = 0 UP = 0 EI = 1 PL = 1 ZR = 0 AC = 1 PE = 0 CY = 1Those don't correspond to typical
ODITSZAPCflags of x86; can anyone explain to me what's going on? Are those just weird names for the same flags?I have a 64-bit Core i7; can it affect the displayed names?
