    Then let me say thanks! There was a programming competition in university where we made bots to play 2048 for (with a few months time), that played against each other in a live tou…

    Thanks for the information. It does seem like the anti-vax movement is a lot larger within the Waldorf-community than outside. I never really thought about that.

    What do you mean by dangerous exactly? I was briefly involved with some people from the Steiner philosophy (the school) and while some people could definitely be labeled as a weird…

    Yes, I think you should absolutely get one! For once, it will always place your resume above the ones without a masters degree. And even if you look at the topics and think you won…

    This is pretty much how the interview with my current position went. It felt really good to just talk about software development, private projects and other topics instead of doing…

    No. We are not even allowed to bring a monitor home temporarily during this phase. Explicitly forbidden to take any kind of working equipment. So I guess we're expected to work in …

    Not really. Not everything is interesting all the time, but at least every couple of days there are submissions that perfectly fit my interests. And I like the general high quality…

    I can confirm. Same thing for, started 3 hours ago. It seems to work again for the moment though (after one hour, no change from my side). The setting is also gone for me!

    It's a bit of pain to implement in some cases, but worth it :) Let me know, if you have questions or need hints where to find some relevant details in my code.

    Nothing wrong with semi-colons. Everyone has a different preference anyway. Thanks for saying all that. It was a huge amount of work and getting appreciation makes it all worth it!…

    I didn't really read any books on that topic. But did lots of general research about compiler stages. I also posted a few links some comments up, that helped a lot. For for it! Sta…

    That is really motivating, thank you for saying that!

    :) I (now) agree. In fact, each part isn't even really that hard. It's mostly just a lot to work. And then code generation. I had some headaches with multiple return values and kee…

    Thanks :) That's where I was trying to get to. I did some smaller performance comparisons against C (with -O0), where I was at about 90% speed. But there is a lot of performance to…

    Yes, I did (at least a bit). That and I read, that Go has a build-in yacc as well. But decided, that for the first compiler, I want to actually do all steps manually myself for bes…

    This is my first compiler, so I expect there to be several things I can improve :) I tried to follow the Assembly calling conventions the best I could. I am looking forward to any …

    In some sports this is kind-of normal procedure to reach a weight class before a major competition. You go into a sauna or do sports in air-tight clothes and lose a few kg of water…

    I am currently writing my own compiler for a smaller language :) This is my first real compiler and it's lots of fun!!! It's also my first time working with x86-64 assembler (compi…
