Nice work, using fixed-function units for unexpected applications feels properly old-school!

I had the same experience, lol. I started with Crime and Punishment expecting thinly veiled philosophy where each character is a mouthpiece for one of the author's thought processes. Granted there's some of that, but I wasn't

Truly the biggest prize of the IOCCC is getting your name listed next to geniuses like the author of nanochess.

Pathetically hypocritical to use AI to write this blog post when generic copy editors have been hit way harder by AI than programmers.

15 years ago, Enterprise FizzBuzz [1] was supposed to be satire. These days, it's not quite complex enough to capture "modern" web dev. [1] https://github.com/EnterpriseQualityCoding/FizzBuzzEnterpris...

Microsoft Go? I've used Go on windows for years now and this is the first I've heard of this fork. So it only exists because microsoft wants to have a crypto package that complies with an arbitrary regulation? Is there a reason

The velocity of a spacecraft in low earth orbit is over 15,000 miles per hour. Smashing into the atmosphere is perhaps the most fuel- and cost-efficient way to slow down to a speed at which landing is possible.

Heh, so it's an 1897 version of what this guy on youtube attempted with a monster truck with mild success: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohxGA7fpfu0 (warning: extremely redneck)

One thing the article doesn't seem to mention is noise. I've found that the "actual" air purifiers seem to be much quieter than box fans. Perhaps if you had greater control over the box fan's speed you could get t

The issue is that the "young" demographic mentioned in the article is ages 18-29, and high school must have changed quite a bit in recent years if students have not actually heard about the holocaust or WWII.

Judging by the project, it's implemented by instrumenting the source code; either manually modifying error returns with a wrapper function, or by running source files through an automated tool that will find and modify the return state

I'm not anyone involved in this thread (so far), but I've written a minimal PDF parser in the past using something between 1500-2000 lines of Go. (Sadly, it was for work so I can't go back and check.) Granted, this was only

Having to hold perfectly still (possibly in an uncomfortable pose) in a giant machine that's making loud, uncanny noises for 20+ minutes is indeed a very bizarre, meditative experience. It is interesting, but, in my opinion, you'

Jon Bois is a genius, and this is the main example I return to when tempted to think that hypermedia is just a gimmick. It takes a special type of creativity to not just make it feel "tacked on." Perhaps the light jazz and dated

Here's an idea for how to maintain Go moving forward: keep making the damn tool however you want. The thing never would have existed in the first place if they had started with an industry survey. It was created to address a perceived

Yes, I was in the first category of people, where I am using GDNative to ultimately call a single function written in Go, not due to speed, but simply in order to leverage a huge amount of code I had already written in that language. Judgi

As much as I'm looking forward to 4, has GDExtension been stabilized / documented yet? I know there's the existing C++ example [1], but I really, really don't want to jump through a scons & C++ project simply to cal

Boy, if only you saw how popular Beamer (a LaTeX presentation framework) was in certain academic circles. Spoiler: it leads to exactly the problem you describe, in addition to using some default styling that manages to be both hideous and

One of the most fun (?) parts of academia is the unique blend of frustration and satisfaction that results when a shoddy paper somehow clears peer review only to get eviscerated when it lands on the desk of an actual expert. "the detai

I understand that key travel time is included in the latency measurements to facilitate the camera-based measurement, but wouldn't it make more sense to measure latency purely in terms of electrical signals? For example, measuring the

If accurate, it's unfortunate to hear the situation has worsened here. About 7 years ago, I sent what was essentially a single-line bugfix to Go, and it was reviewed and merged within 3 days.

At least in the original paper [1], the key idea is that instead of training a neural network to treat "images" as an array of pixels, you train a network to map a camera location and direction (in 3D space) to a distance and a co

Nice website and account. This sort of basic ROM manipulation was a huge gateway into low-level programming for me and many others. For an aspiring teenage programmer, it is immensely satisfying to be able to open a ROM in a hex editor and

Fortunately, they fixed dependency management first, so you can simply stop updating any dependency that adopts generics!

What about the file in the article makes it a "non-ELF binary"? The only thing I can think of is putting junk data in place of bytes the ELF spec designates as "padding" and expects to be 0. Other than that, it seems t
