    I did not try Clojure so I cannot comment on how well implemented the features you quote are, when compared to CL. All I can say is that CL also provides much of the same functiona…

    I have two tech q about partsbox. Why Clojure? Why not CL (lack of saas related-features)?

    Does it support other scheme implementations? Or at least any plans to do so?

    Will YC and startups be more or less agreeable on remote work? Will the new administration cause changes to remote work?

    In general, a compiler takes source code and generates object code or an executable. Can you elaborate on what your compiler takes as input and generates as an output?

    What are some other applications of WebAssembly that you find promising?

    Tail-call optimization is very important when writing Scheme programs. By removing those, you loose the power of recursion. Also when it comes to macros, does that include `syntax-…

    Show HN: Scheme Made Easy

    In past few weeks, I wrote several chapters to learn Scheme, a programming language of the Lisp dialect. The writing is not final as many chapters are missing. I wrote this because…

    Making something helps to get hired. Not only is it a show of expertise, but also an expression of your unique personality. What is more, I asked what you want to make right now. E…

    It is not easy to follow. And there are many things worth discussing. I understand there are complications with MIPS and C++ just to name a few. But let me stick with some basics. …

    I am not sure if I follow correctly. Please clarify the following for me. Have you succeeded in making a tool which undoes the work of the linker?

    If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is not. If removing weights improves some metrics, that may be a clue that the model is not optimal in some sense.

    How can you use or create this model for conventional non-API projects? Like to embed it within some C code?

    Comment #39749993

    I am brainstorming here. In practice, perhaps a C program that acts as a validation test. The source code of this C program is not publicly available. Only the binary is distribute…

    Comment #39738413

    Why Python? First, python is a language with a large open-source library. Second, I do not think it is used for software that is distributed as binaries?

    Comment #39738368

    I would devise a somewhat loose metric. Consider you assign a percentage as to how much a binary is disassembled. As in, 0% means the binary is in assembly and 100% means the whole…

    The problem is interesting in at least two aspects. First, an ideal decompiler would eliminate proprietary source code. Second, the abundant publicly available C code allows you to…

    Which common tasks and keybindings? Can you list at least some examples?

    I'm interested in collaborating. For example, from the comments it occurred to me that a 128-bit SIMD register can contain 64 2-bit values. It seems straightforward that SIMD bitwi…
