The text column is very thin on pages like the IPv6 address generator. The spacing between the lines also seems too high (reminds me of school essays where for some reason you always had to put tons of space between lines). Maybe consider d

I don't get why people want the AI right in their editor. In another windows inside the editor, fine, but not inline with code I'm writing. It's super distracting to have AI auto complete pop up at random all the time. As alw

I love MBR hacking, it's so fun to see. Cf. sector lisp [1] and OSle [2]. [1]: https://github.com/jart/sectorlisp [2]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43866585

This is a great series of posts which have inspired me to write a debugger when they were posted here before. Very fun! This is another insightful series of the topic: https://eli.thegreenplace.net/2011/01/23/

Yes, there are really cool packing techniques. See this talk for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPR8h4-qZdk I don't include the null-terminator because I use this type in my own environment where I never use

Read his other stuff, it’s rather well thought out. The assumption is you don’t use libc or at least you use different interfaces to it.

I’d really like to see a full C implementation of this interface. Remove all the C++ complexity in the back end

I don’t get why people use (or used) CGI programs for web servers. This seems crazy inefficient and prone to break

I got the error as well on the first load. Reload fixed it.

There's a great talk by Evan Czaplicki [0] that outlines the financial significance of browsers. It helps make sense of why Microsoft (and Apple) act(s) in this way. [0]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ3w_jec1v8

Daniel Lemire has an interesting talk on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlvKAT7SZIQ . They key takeaway is that the disk is rarely the bottleneck.

Thanks for your kind words, and also thanks for the link : D

Scheme doesn't work well for very low-level code, and C doesn't handle processing source code very well. For that I'd rather use a functional language. Also, I like using different programming languages (though not necessaril

Yes. Anyone who is interested in this topic should read it.

There are definitely many people who almost exclusively spend their time consuming stuff at a young age. I cannot tell however, if that has ever been different, or if it's just perceived differently now. For many people continue consum

Yeah, I don't think so. It's x86_64 only, and C only too. Some points from your list make sense now, but most of it is simply not part of Spray's scope, and never has been ...

Oh, I just noticed some bugs in the code while using Motes the other day. Expect some weirdness with the Emacs plugin. The scripts have been working flawlessly for me the past few weeks though. I hope you like them :D

Wow, this sounds great. Please hit me up at any time if you have questions about the code. I left behind comments most places, but I don't know if all of them are helpful.

Thank you for the link. I'm always looking for books on compilers, but they can be hard to find. Many of them are every from the ivory tower -like unfortunately.

I started off learning Python and C++. At some point I got fed up with C++ and switched to C. Haha, the emoji thing was something I was doing for about a week or so. You see emojis used a lot more around Rust I guess. I never bothered to re

It's mostly books and blogs: I like to read a lot. Also, your guess is correct, my dad is a computer scientist.

Thanks for pointing me to those projects! I didn't know about any of them.

DWARF 5 is truly ... special. My mind was blown when I understood that half of its data is encoded as instructions for full-blown stack-based VM.

I'm sorry, I misread what this is about. I removed the parts that I felt would be problematic.

Thanks, it's been quite a struggle at times : D

What's special about the `en.m.wikipedia` subdomain compared to the usual `en.wikipedia`?
