I've been experimenting with running Claude in headless mode + a continuous loop to decompile N64 functions and the results have been pretty incredible. (This is despite already using Claude in my decompilation workflow). I hope that o

I found the contrast with workflow systems such as Cadence/Temporal really interesting. You can tell the author has felt the pain of managing real time distributed state machines.

I recently switched from frontend to a backend/ml role at a large tech company. At a high level the work is pretty similar. Instead of working with design/product you work with data science/product. The conversations do tend

Very cool. I suspect running on the main thread with requestAnimationFrame for rendering to the canvas would eliminate some of the performance issues without having to rely on postmessage.

Went through this exact process last week. Did they really need to remove CommonsChunkPlugin? Feels like breaking stuff for a slightly nicer API. If this were React we would've had a deprecation warning for a few versions.

Thanks for the link unwind/paulrouget2. I think it went a little over my head. What role does about:blank actually play? I'm assuming that the wild behaviour and parsing difficulty is the result of it performing some special funct

Yeh it's sandstone. Group of 8 is also sometimes used because ANU and Monash wanted to be included :P

It will be interesting to see what the practical effect of this is over the long term. The new SOP says that certain processes involving software will still be patentable, which seems remarkably similar to the Supreme Court's finding in Die
