VB the ide was really good but VB the language was not. In particular it didn't support object orientation in any sensible way. While I am not crazy about object orientation in gen…

I am a principal engineer too. In the last 5 months I have been working on a project using the latest LLMs. 5 years ago that project would have required 30 engineers. Now I am alon…

Since when is "bored" a synonym for "dishonest"?

If you are using build123d, probably the easiest way is to sketch an ellipse and revolve it.

I can barely keep up with one instance of Claude Code. In fact even that one sits iddle half the time as I test its output and try to explain what it did wrong. What are people pro…

The best coffee stains by far are created directly in Postscript.

Yes please I totally agree. Something big must be going on there. I once bought an item through an Instagram ad. For about a month I got fake updates about shipping. Then one day I…

AI is making coding so cheap, you can now program a few versions of the API and choose what works better.

Not a member of the project but here is my take: You run the WireGuard app on your computer/phone, tap Connect, and it creates an encrypted tunnel to a small network box (the “FPGA…

When I was in elementary school in the 70s in Albania, we had some older teachers who wrote z as ᵹ. I don't know where that came from, but it was not part of the official alphabet.…

The 100x also is kind of meaningless. 100x compared to what? I can introduce a bug by being careless for 1 minute, discover it in my own tests and spend the next 2 days to figure i…

I see some very "tolerant" people are downvoting. You support the girl's right to support Hamas, but don't even want to hear from people who think differently.

Also this Albanian guy just published a video from the same place: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUGbSg3o7p4

15 years after MIT made the same switch from Scheme to Python. Since CS at MIT seems to be fine, so will CS at NEU.

Why do I remember The C Programming Language book by K&R explaining how to write a version of cdecl? I just checked the second edition of the book and my memory seems to be wrong.

I once implemented a logical expression evaluator to be used as filters on a search page. My boss tested it and filed a bug because he expected OR to have higher precedence than AN…

There was also Adpative Programming by Karl Lieberherr at Northeastern University ( https://www2.ccs.neu.edu/research/demeter/ ). He had both a C++ and a Java compiler to implement…

My daughter is a student in one of those elite schools. You are allowed to take one of those advanced classes in any year (i.e. Calculus as a freshman) but that doesn't mean that t…

I meant speeds derived from previous position measurements. Using those speeds is not getting something from nothing. It means using previous measurements to estimate where the obj…

Kalman filters are used for changing entities. Say you have a moving object. You could measure (with some errors) its position every second and use that as an estimate of where it …
