a shameless plug of another blog post containing more xor trivia, for those interested: https://gciruelos.com/xor.html

Yes, in general it is obviously undecidable. I should have been clearer, but I'm mostly interested in structure (traversal) algorithms, most of which could be coded in a language w…

Related to your last question, I was always puzzled by the following: when is a program an implementation of an (abstract) algorithm? For example, can a program decide, given a sor…

not really related, but i wrote this a while back: https://gciruelos.com/what-is-the-roundest-country.html

i have been writing a gameboy emulator for the last year (with short bursts of work where i implement some module), and it's been very challanging and fun, i recommend everyone to …

i've been using sway[0] as my wm for some time now (it's a sort of port of i3 to wayland) and it's incredible that you can actually tell that it is much faster than wms running on …

This is awesome, great write-up, thank you very much. You briefly mention that crypto-currencies are used for money laundering. Do you think that's what's driving btc price to insa…

every browser needs to have some counter like that if it wants to suggest pages when you open a new tab or something like that. i think it's cool that you can see the actual rankin…

maybe it is a consequence of increased technological knowledge in the general populace? i don't feel that it has increased, but maybe Apple's marketing team arrived to that conclus…

i agree completely on the large document problem that LaTeX has, especially when you have big formulas, statements or diagrams that are hard to parse after you have written them an…

Nothing was stolen. All I see is a programmer abiding by the contracts.

HN's "GET" would be when tesla's stock price hits 0.00000$

I've been following you on github for a long time (since the minecraft clone you made in C was featured in /r/programming). You are insane man, I love your work. Keep it up!

>and I wouldn't know how that affects everyday life. It mostly affected lexicographic order. 'ch' was between 'c' and 'd'. So for example, when 'ch' was a separate letter in the al…

In my opinion boutique competition, economic hardship, drop in quality, and an active used market are what's killing Gibson and other big companies. Not EDM.
