I'm implementing different parsing algorithms (for programming language text to syntax tree purposes). There are so many papers published on different algorithms... I'm just slowly…

Reading literature (academic and otherwise) on parsers, writing blog posts about what I learn, trying to implement the things I learnt. I've written about basic finite automata (fo…

Is that legal in your country? In mine (Netherlands) there are way too many people with doorbell camera aimed right at the street even though it's illegal to record a public space …

Author here, feel free to ask me whatever you like.

The Dutch Public Broadcasting Foundation (NOS) published these models along with an article about the millions of drugs ads on Telegram, and responses by the Dutch police, Telegram…

You've given up on Gimp? What's wrong? Did I miss some news?

That's because trains get taxed, while flights _still_ get subsidised. It's maddening.

There's an app called StreetComplete (recently discussed on HN) that allows you to easily contribute missing information like local business information to OSM. If you can find the…

An important and sometimes forgotten thing about democracy is that it isn't as simple as the majority rules. It's the majority rules while taking minorities into account. In a well…

Make sure to test your RPi 0W with the Bluetooth speaker you had in mind asap. Mine won't connect to my soundbar, which is complicating my setup for connecting my projector and sou…

The article mentions Radiolab. I remember listening to a Radiolab episode about War of the Worlds, but that must have been a later revision, because in that episode they go into ho…

That excerpt made me think of Romantically Apocalyptic, which is a... visual novel / web comic? I read it for a while, really enjoying the art and the strange and absurd conversati…

My Firefox on Android has a QR code scanner, I typically use that even when I know it's not a website. When you open a new tab and select the address bar you get to see the button …

I've seen a poster presentation at the student research competition of a PL conference where the student created a tool to do this after the fact on binaries. It looked quite promi…

Happenstance really, he briefly joined our research group. I'll send him a link to this thread.

Haven't implemented it myself, though I mean to try one day. But I've spoken to Michael before and used his implementation: https://github.com/usethesource/capsule

A similar example is in a "filtering" operation. I mostly have this in functional programming where you pass a predicate to filter on. But what's the perspective of the filter? Are…

Projectional editors use that setup. Might be slightly different than what you have in mind since projectional editing is not great at text editing. But have a look at Jetbrains MP…

What I've gathered about Graal is that once you have a compiler for the platform, Cross-Language communication on a hot path gets optimised to near-zero cost.

Good luck :) I love the language, but you'll need some perseverance to learn the more interesting parts like lifetimes and the borrow checker. I can recommend the book on rust-lang…

I think multiple episodes including the season 2 christmas episode comment on brain computer interfaces in one form or another and they all seem realistic and scary to me. Best not…

I second Modern compiler implementation in ML. I'd also add Types and Programming Languages by Pierce, commonly referred to as TAPL for background on type systems. https://www.cis.…
