I don't understand your example. What does compile-time computed stuff have to do with readInt()? I get that it might be possible to do that, use a Maybe Maybe T. But it's like an optional<bool> in C++. It can be done, it&#x

So you're saying that the one Nothing has a different meaning than the other Nothing, and that this is something that anybody would want? Or that we have a Nothing and a Just Nothing? I'm sorry, but I don't get how that would

First I want to thank you for your honesty. It is so refreshing to read, in this sea of self-promotion of Medium posts that go around here. You may want to talk to a coach about this. I'm sure you can find someone specialized in findin

My understanding is that this is only about memory access patterns, and has nothing to do with multithreading. The basic example being matrix multiplications C=A∙B. If the matrices are too big to fit in the L2/L3 cache, you have to thi

Because Starcraft is 1v1 and LoL is 5v5. Poker AIs also focus on 1v1 as opposed to full ring games. It's easier. Also because Starcraft has three races, i. e. 9 matchups. But if you pick one race for your AI, you only have three matchu

Oh, alright. I thought the "it" would refer to the question, not the whole review process.

Neat, another one for my list. Seed7 allows the extension of the grammar [1]. The compiler understands a simple EBNF which doesn't distinguish between different non-terminals. The semantic checks and the transformation into a known AST

> If they had a question on a change, it would add two days latency Wouldn't that be just one day? You ask the question while they sleep, they answer while you sleep, you get the answer the next day.

Does the compiler build the initial AST based on a grammar, before the transformations happen? That would mean you can't expand the grammar with user-defined rules. The reason you can "implement for loops in user land" is bec

Ben, could you go a little into detail on what you had in mind with the term rewriting system? The sin/cos example seems a little underwhelming, since these should be evaluated at compile-time in the first place. They seem like a varia

There's got to be some boundary, though. The guy streams every single day. Doesn't even take one weekday off. That's not healthy.

Yea. It went "Ultimate is a thing, and things started existing at some point. Ultimate also started existing at some point. Also there are no refs. Because no, man, I'm not gonna."

Hi Bruce. This is a fantastic article, but I needed to read it twice to understand everything. Very dense in information, and sometimes the order of things make it hard to follow. Sometimes you tell us what you did (e. g. modified the virtu

The author tried to be clever with the title, but failed to take into account how human perception works. The second "review" gets filtered out like that gorilla in the basketball video.

The biggest problems in my opinion are the drive-by downvotes. If you're not willing to fix the problem, you should not have the right to engage. Downvotes should be tied to some sort of criterion that the asker/answerer can meet,

Zig is Linux-first, though. I don't think they have any dev who runs Windows. For games especially, you don't want Windows to be an afterthought. Maybe they'll get to it eventually, but it doesn't seem a priority.

Was fed up with Quake Live not providing any matchmaking, so I tried to make my own. Of course they didn't have any API, so I needed to scrape their website to get the match results. I sent a lot of requests. So when they blogged about

Sounds like a mason working on a sculpture. You need to identify and cut off all the superfluous parts. Abstraction is generalization of special cases. If you only consider one case, you can't generalize from it. Only when you get two,
