Cool project. Feels like writing a C compiler in Zig aligns nicely with the old "maintain it in Zig" idea that was part of Zig's early value proposition. Is that still considered a relevant goal today? Longer term it also mak

I know this is satire, but I would wish to see something like this for liberating proprietary & closed-source hardware drivers.

Lego is one of those companies that is simultaneously amazing and kind of sucks. On one hand the core product is incredible. The tolerances on the bricks are micrometer-level precision and the fact that pieces from the 70s snap perfectly in

That's not how SMTP reputation scoring works. Even in IPv4 per-IP reputation stopped being sufficient many years ago because bulk senders churn pools and rotate addresses. Modern systems typically score prefixes, ASNs, DKIM/SPF al

>But I do think s-expressions are an improvement over HTML in certain scenarios. I agree. S expressions are a data interchange format. HTML is a markup language. They solve different problems. S expressions define nested lists of atoms.

This seems similar to _hyperscript, except it uses custom tags instead of the "_" attribute. I'm not sure which approach is better, but personally, I prefer keeping the same document structure and varying behavior through att

Not really. BLAKE3 isn’t a reduced-round tweak of BLAKE2 like K12 is for Keccak. It's a different construction that still meets its full security target. K12 and TurboSHAKE on the other hand are literally the same permutation with fewe

Honestly, I'm skeptical of the whole Keccak-derived ecosystem. The reduced-rounds variants like K12 and TurboShake are trading a conservative security margin for speed, which kinda feels odd when compared to BLAKE3. Meanwhile, BLAKE3 c

One of the reasons why I'm using OpenBSD is because it passes what I think of as a litmus test for FLOSS software: can I build the whole thing from scratch, in a short time and with minimal fuss? In the case of OpenBSD, the answer is y

From the submission title I expected some kind of chorded keyboard. This is just a tiny regular keyboard. What a bummer. This reminds me how I once spend months trying to track down a Frogpad for a cyberpunk-inspired wearable computing proj

Any Forth system at it's core is essentially a stack-based virtual machine with a reprogrammable high-level assembler and a REPL. Some Forths use direct or indirect threading, others are implemented as bytecode VMs, not unlike the JVM,

I get the appeal of the 512KB Club. Most modern websites are bloat, slow and a privacy nightmare. I even get the nerdy thrill of fitting an entire website into a single IP packet, but honestly, this obsession with raw file size is kinda bor

The author is deeply misguided and clearly frustrated. The claim that the GPL can't be enforced is simply wrong. GPL violations are regularly challenged in court and through community pressure. But let's assume for a moment that t
