One day we'll have biological networks of the size that can compete with today's biggest artificial neural networks, capable of running things like, well, ChatGPT. Then the philoso…

Kind of reminds me of the X11 logo....

This is fantastic. Great work. Works well on my iPad but no ‘face’ just a blank screen. Crashes on my M1 Mac Air. Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help debug.

In UK it's 100 quid now I think.

DT990 pro headphones all the way for my audio productions. Unfortunately a lack of sound-proofing possibilities has meant that monitors aren't really an option I can personally con…

To try and be less of an asshole frankly...

I was due to be in a meeting and was super anxious about it due to having to report out on some stuff I'd been working on. That morning, before the meeting, my dad texted me with t…

Oh God.. I got as far as reading SAS statistical software. I briefly got my hands dirty with that a little over ten years ago and remember thinking at the time how it was the uglie…

A fondness for this language led me to develop (for fun) my own take on POP11 a few years back. Its kind of ‘POP11 with braces’ (since it uses braces for block and function scope, …

I’m a guitarist and I can’t understand either.

...I do it because it's my job, not because I am trying to make you happy. Don't get me wrong, it is good to be appreciated but thanking me in this way puts you in a position of au…

But how does it reverse? That’s what I’d like to know!

I think a lot of beginners would be put off by the verbosity of this.

It’s just a web browser. I mean it’s just a web browser. What is there to be so excited about? Really..?

How is this different to Strava?

As a runner, this is relatively useless without a GPS. Include that and sign me up in a heartbeat.

I stopped reading this when it became evident that the author was just promoting a library he’d written. I might have been a tiny bit more interested if I were a Rust developer.

Actually, you can still download and play this on modern platforms. I have it running on my Mac. http://dunelegacy.sourceforge.net/website/ and https://www.myabandonware.com/game/d…

As a professional C++ developer, I’m always amazed when I see something like this implemented in bash. Cos why the fuck not indeed! Good stuff.

Given the standard RFC, the two initial slashes as in scheme:// are critical in any URL when you need to be able to distinguish between the authority and path component, as in sche…

Thankfully not, I’m terrible with a soldering iron. 13 inch mid 2010 MBP, model number 7.1, I think. I heard the latest MBPs have soldered ram. Horrible and one of the reasons why …

Patched Catalina at least runs flawlessly on my mid 2010 MBP (7.1). (Note also, upgraded to 16GB ram — officially unsupported — and 500GB SSD). The machine absolutely flies. Using …

Still working on my interpreted programming language https://github.com/benhj/arrow and it’s still slow as fuck. Fun though :-)
