In my limited understanding, static recompiling is like JIT transpilation from one arch to another where emulation runs each instruction calling behaviour depending on the instruction. As for tradeoffs my knowledge is not wide enough to dec

This is why there is growing anti-AI sentiment. It is always extractive. You can never just enjoy a poem, you need to use it. You need to extract its value for shareholders. Get a life.

The terrible thing is that everything is moving to apps so that the developers can get more access to the user's fingerprint and get more data. Get access to photos, location ect. All webpages that suddenly have an app, which in my exp

What a great tool and community they have built. I find my flipper0 is like a computer Swiss Army knife. It’s so fun to carry around a tool of my own trade.

Sdks/libs, especially open source sdks, were never about gated knowledge. They were about the providing company making it as easy as possible for you to integrate. You would not need to know the idiosyncrasies behind api retries, pagin

It seems like this was built years ago but only posted now. Why post it now? It doesn’t seem like it has changed much in 4 years so I can’t see that it matured or stabilized over that time. I am sorry for my ignorance of c build systems, th

CarPlay is also a contract between mobile devs and automakers. It allows for things like displaying "current playing" on the dash, media buttons on the steering wheel that control apps, and turn by turn directions show on dash and

- Agreed on the bracketed attributes, the close attribute is very useful and devs would reach for the brackets more if they were like as you suggest. - short form fns: you and another commenter have given me good examples. I’m still not sur

Agreed, it keeps the parser fast as well because it is a lot more clear when the boolean statement ends and the code block begins. You either need parentheses, `then` or brackets around the block to make parsing clearly defined.

I think that allowing an if statement to return a value to deal with the ternary introduces a now concept to Lua and that is that the value on the final line of a block is a return value much like Ruby. This changes the logic of the entire

Some of these things are already implemented in PUC Lua. I don't know why they are diverting from lua spec on other aspects though. Why not work together with the PUC Lua team to add some of these to both lua versions and work on bri

This is behaviour trees. What you’re describing is behaviour trees. Edit: I see later you say it isn’t a behaviour tree but this is how a lot of BTs are implemented. They don’t always loop from the root. A lot of the time according to state

What a great accomplishment! How did you manage to complete a JIT language in 2 months!?

I’m watching those around me forget even the simplest command line commands for every day tasks in favour of AI. So not only are they letting hard earned skills slip away, they are paying for the privilege. Suddenly software development is

AI services are only minorly incentivized to reduce token usage. They want high token usage, it makes you pay more. They are going to continually test where the limit is, what is the max token usage before you get angry. All AI companies wi

His spectre language is fully bootstrapped and written in spectre so his suggestion that you try to get an AI to write spectre stands for both the chip-8 emulator and the language itself. He is very obviously a prolific programmer with a ve

I wondered why this article was so high on the front page but now I realize it’s simply because everyone else wanted to “um actually” it. I guess that makes sense.

Haha Sudbury and Napanee are the only places in Canada to have them. They are tiny cities where nothing happens. Bored police officers imagining situations where they are needed.

I think AI could reinvent text based games in a fresh way that would be fun. Text based games were always so constrained by what the developer could guess that you would type but with AI it really could read more like an interactive choose

This is a prime example of how lazy vibe coding makes people. Even if they were not technical, some of these bugs would have been caught if they just went through the behaviour by hand at least once. Not an ounce of QA just generate and shi

Knowing cable companies that was probably until all contracts with that channel as part of the subscription ended. They had to keep the channel running otherwise they might need to refund people.

All the jobs I rather be doing are antiquated. Furniture maker but it’s not a viable job anymore either. A machinist, tool-die maker. Or mechanic maybe. I have always thought that mechanics are just debugging a very specific architecture.

A company that used to be the pinnacle of software development is now just generating code in order to sell their big data models. Horrifying. Devastating.

This is a great tool for writing technical documentation sites. It will allow you to run tests on your code samples, ensuring that they are up to date and working with the most recent library release. We were in progress of doing this with
