You can switch between the two easily by imagining a lever on the back of the characters head vs front of their head - press up to push the lever higher for the back vs lower for the front. Same goes for planes etc

That's like saying WASM doesn't have a direct way to allocate memory or print to the console. Of course it doesn't, it doesn't have access to anything, that's the whole point.

Not the OP, but in formal definitions like Communicating Sequential Processes, concurrency means the possibility for tasks to run out of order and still be correct, as long as other synchronisation events happen

This seems like a really good idea. I like that it's just markdown files and how seemless it is with an existing project. I have a few minor suggestions 1. I would really like a way to run the endpoint by clicking something in addition

Do you know how the break/return would get compiled down to? Would the yield function need to be transformed to return a status code and checked at the callsite?

Yes sounds like the same thing! I also couldn't find anyone else doing it. Sounds super interesting what you're doing so I'd love to read your blog post when it's done if you want to drop me a message/email. My proj

I've done this for a project where the SDF functions are basically instructions, and you can build up instrictions on the CPU to send to the shader. and then the fragment shader runs them like a mini bytecode interpreter. You can tile

How do you move memory and have all the pointers update to the new position? I didn't understand that part.

It’s called a masonry grid. Images retain their aspect ratio so they don’t need to be cropped. You can kind of simulate it with css but there’s proposals to add a proper masonry layout to css

It's no different except now you've set parent's height to 100% of its parent, which is the html tag. But the html tag is height: auto so there is a circular dependency. if you put html { height: 100% }, or set parent'

He says "width looks up the tree while height looks down the tree." And "Width Looks Outward, Height Looks Inward" And - The key insight here is: height: 100% means “I am as tall as all the things inside of me”, not “as

It’s not syntax help thats useful about visual programming it’s the 2-way communication between the programmer and the running program, and also being able to refer to other parts of a program spatially rather than by a name. Most kinds of

If you have a couple of different sizes of texts you can render out each character into a sprite map and render a quad per character which is probably the fastest and works for most 2D UIs. You can prerender ahead of time or have some runti

That's mad because the useMemo clearly has to do an equality check to see if it changed anyway...

Yes Dart with Flutter and swift UI both had to add language features just to support if and loop expressions. But people writing immediate mode guis have been doing the exact same thing using standard language features for years. There&#x27

Yes this is exactly right. What I’ve done in the past is use Django to return HTML with JSX mixed in, and have a super lightweight SPA frontend that just hydrates the react components on each load. You can also use form state to communicate

D’s way is far superior because as the caller you don’t have to worry about whether you’re calling a method or an external function, it looks the same. Not sure it would be possible to tack this onto a dynamic language like JavaScript thoug

As far as I can tell you don't own the right to the picture either. You just buy the right to have your name next to it. Is that right?

It’s definitely possible. I have a project that does the same thing with Python and React but you could switch out the backend to anything that outputs html. The cool thing is your front end is just super modular components and your backend

Isn't it interesting that all of the examples in the original article can be replaced with a labeled break of arbitrary blocks? Even replacing the continue statement. Solving the problems of goto and keeping the behaviour. Not sure why

Incredible piece of work, and an inspirational process. Your book helped me write my own language compiler. I love the way you explain the pratt parsing technique and also the way the lexer and parser work together so you don't have to
