Give Terraria a try, It's really awesome and versatile!

Then let me say thanks! There was a programming competition in university where we made bots to play 2048 for (with a few months time), that played against each other in a live tournament (who got the most points mostly). That was the mos

Thanks for the information. It does seem like the anti-vax movement is a lot larger within the Waldorf-community than outside. I never really thought about that.

What do you mean by dangerous exactly? I was briefly involved with some people from the Steiner philosophy (the school) and while some people could definitely be labeled as a weird bunch with esoteric tendencies, none of them seemed dangero

Yes, I think you should absolutely get one! For once, it will always place your resume above the ones without a masters degree. And even if you look at the topics and think you won't like it or need it - you will always learn things th

This is pretty much how the interview with my current position went. It felt really good to just talk about software development, private projects and other topics instead of doing tests in one form or another.

No. We are not even allowed to bring a monitor home temporarily during this phase. Explicitly forbidden to take any kind of working equipment. So I guess we're expected to work in the 15" laptop? No wonder productivity goes down.

Not really. Not everything is interesting all the time, but at least every couple of days there are submissions that perfectly fit my interests. And I like the general high quality and good/positive community towards people that build

I can confirm. Same thing for, started 3 hours ago. It seems to work again for the moment though (after one hour, no change from my side). The setting is also gone for me!

It's a bit of pain to implement in some cases, but worth it :) Let me know, if you have questions or need hints where to find some relevant details in my code.

Nothing wrong with semi-colons. Everyone has a different preference anyway. Thanks for saying all that. It was a huge amount of work and getting appreciation makes it all worth it! No hard constraints as of now. But I don't think I wan

I didn't really read any books on that topic. But did lots of general research about compiler stages. I also posted a few links some comments up, that helped a lot. For for it! Start small and increase. But seeing a program in your ow

That is really motivating, thank you for saying that!

:) I (now) agree. In fact, each part isn't even really that hard. It's mostly just a lot to work. And then code generation. I had some headaches with multiple return values and keeping the calling conventions intact... And then wi

Those are some of my currently open tabs :) Lots of Google use on top of that. The parser is actually quite straight forward. The much harder part (for me) was the code generation afterwards (No experience with Assembly so far). - General c

Thanks :) That's where I was trying to get to. I did some smaller performance comparisons against C (with -O0), where I was at about 90% speed. But there is a lot of performance to gain, if I optimize the resulting assembly. There are

by EllipticCurve 6y ago
Yes, I did (at least a bit). That and I read, that Go has a build-in yacc as well. But decided, that for the first compiler, I want to actually do all steps manually myself for best possible comprehension of the general topic.

by EllipticCurve 6y ago
This is my first compiler, so I expect there to be several things I can improve :) I tried to follow the Assembly calling conventions the best I could. I am looking forward to any feedback!

In some sports this is kind-of normal procedure to reach a weight class before a major competition. You go into a sauna or do sports in air-tight clothes and lose a few kg of water. After getting weighted and assigned a weight class you dri

I am currently writing my own compiler for a smaller language :) This is my first real compiler and it's lots of fun!!! It's also my first time working with x86-64 assembler (compiler target). I'll write a Show HN post when I

In addition to the advice given by the others, I would suggest to maybe participate in the Advent-of-code ( https://adventofcode.com/ ). It started a few days ago but you should be able to quickly catch up. You might do it to

I'm exactly in the same position. I'd love to do something on my own. But it seems, I'm just not the idea guy.
