My advice would be to read Piumarta's "Optimizing direct threaded code by selective inlining" paper [1] first, and then read the references from the wikipedia article [2]. If the piumarta paper is still over your head, take a

I wonder if anyone tried this in Android, which also has a logo partition. Maybe not the flagship phones, but if I were to guess, I'd guess the TV sticks and other Android streaming devices might have similar issues.

The Panama canal saves about 8000 miles, which about 2 weeks time at 20 knots, plus fuel and crew, insurance, etc. That comes to $285k per day. Depending on the wait time (I've seen 20 days wait time in the past), that might be a ratio

I skimmed your substack, and it seems to me that you would like SICP. Give it a try.

For the initiated, this is SICP[1] Exercise 1.19. That exercise walks you through a proof without explicitly using linear algebra. I remember having a blast solving this back in the day. [1] https://web.mit.edu/6.001/6.

Also interested in the answer, and I thought a bit about this and have a hypothesis that DNA does not encode everything, instead it depends on implicit assumptions about the environment. To give an example, gravity is likely not encoded in

Multiple people intuitively pointed out that the OP is actually quite wrong. The shocking fact, to me at least, is how far this goes: all of humanity share a single male ancestor [1] (and no, it was not the first man to ever live), and a si

So years ago there was a corruption scandal in Brazil, where gambling is illegal. A guy named Carlinhos Cachoeira[1] found that fact a great opportunity and built a gambling empire, which involved financing corrupt politicians so that they

The book "Technopoly", by Postman, is also very well worth a reading. But I'd say the most relevant to this trend is "The disappearance of childhood". The book's thesis is that childhood is a modern invention,
