Built a live coding library for python that allows me to reload code I edited while it was executing. It has repl and debugger support and it can be run even for embedded python. It's pretty granular so it can reload modules or even in

A possible approach is to use Cython to convert Python code to C code and then compile that code to WebAssembly. I would not be surprised if there is a tool for that already

Well judging from the fact that my first computer my father bought back in 1988 Amstrad CPC 6128 is still alive and kicking with very active community and more development tools than it ever had, I think its safe to assume that software nev

Rust is very unpopular. Popular being besides the usual suspects Assembly, Visual Basic, Delphi, Objective C , Swift etc. Finding the popularity of a language is actually pretty easy, ignore all the blog posts and opinion pieces of any kind

IT runs on a wide array of technologies. Desktop games and 3D graphics which the area I focus and obviously a massive part of the software market if we include consoles and mobile devices , C++ still is king. Most games nowadays use either

The irony of the thing is that in manual memory management languages you end up doing your own garbage collectors and in garbage collector languages you end up doing your own manual management. Unfortunately if you look in a language to sol

I don’t. I keep my super sensitive data in my head. I never believed in computer security and never will. But the I never believed in security in general. Why on earth you would need an antivirus for a Mac ? I don’t even remember the last t

If the sofware is from the 80s that is very good news, it means it runs on simpler hardware and the code will be simpler and easier to fix. Which is what made it viable for us to code in Assembly back in the 80s and early 90s with the same

The only thing it gets in my nerves is lack of comments and documentation. The fallacy that code can be remotely as easy to understand as natural language text. The rest I can endure and tolerate.

I guess I am heretic for breaking my project to a collection of DLLs. Ironically I am doing it over a 2 mil lines of code statically linked code base. The statically linked code base takes 150 seconds to build and my much smaller project on

there are tons of services only that will allow you to code online using any language eve C , C++ and Assembly. From inside the browser of course. Of course I am not recommending a beginner to start from any of those languages but it shows

That's debatable. It's not as if downloading Python and making your first app will take you more than a few seconds, minus download time. Set up is rarely an issue, once you set up a language even as complex as C++ its completely

I have implemented live coding via DLLs for C , it’s not hard to do and can easily replace gdb. I don’t think that gdb offers live coding outside the box. Inspecting live state and to an extend REPL abilities do exist in GDB.

I was never a fan of IRC although I am still a part time user since 1995. I was always annoyed losing replies just because I went offline and of course all the weird self disconnects and occasional banning bots. Sending files was also a big

One more epic discussion on Python, where we have the unique opportunity to learn that using C libraries from Python is "cheating". I could not agree more It's definitely cheating to use C code with the exception of most Pyth

Who would have guessed that compiled, static, non-dynamic, hardware accelerated code would be a ton more performant than runtime, highly dynamic, garbage collected and very powerful code that is not hardware accelerated.

Home computers were never personal in any interpretation of the word. They were mostly shared among family members which is why unlike PCs were made to play both games and run software. Calling a home computer a PC is showing a fundamental

in other news google is integrated in the browsers address bar, scientists are baffled how it managed to fit in such small space and how it got there.

google search, since it was integrated to the address bar its super easy to find the right site and you longer have to remember or guess the address , hence the name has become pointless.

Simplification is an illusion. Simplification works great for understanding and learning , I completely agree but is terrible on problem resolution. Mainly because problems don't get simple just because you want them to. Secondly becau
