IIRC you have to probe every page of the stack on Windows. You cannot just subtract a value from ESP/RSP. If you don't probe every page in order, you get a page fault or some other…

Hard real-time control systems is one application.

Iirc, the interpreter recognizes common idioms (sequences of 2-4 operations) and has optimized fused implementations for those idioms that avoid intermediate results. It can also a…

Here’s some helpful background information on the project: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47872891 In particular, it has diagrams of the data structures and how the algorithm…

> Rust 1.0 is 11 years old and it's still trivial to compile Rust code from then. I doubt that will change in the next 9 years. Maybe it's trivial to compile Rust code but it's not…

Thank you!

Sorry, I couldn't find a news report in English. Everything I found was in German. It's a remake of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum home computer from the 80s, in white.

I used to work on LabWindows/CVI an integrated C development environment. It included an "Interactive Execution Window" where you could build programs piecemeal. You added pieces o…

I used to run long distance, no music, no headphones, no trackers, no watch. Let your mind drift, or focus on the rest of the course. Or go swimming and count laps. Or go boulderin…

I’m not sure I fully understand but this seems to be the kind of problem that Ocaml functors solve. You program against an interface (signature) and you supply a concrete implement…

The Haskell language report precisely defines how layout determines structure: https://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/haskell2010/haskellch10... Any language that uses layout to dete…

I loved my Kosmos electronics kits. My mom threw out the kits eventually but I still have the manuals. https://patric-sokoll.de/SonstigeSammlungen/Kosmos%20E200/Ha... My first comp…

Simon Peyton Jones's "The implementation of functional programming languages" has a chapter on the "Efficient compilation of pattern matching" (chapter 5 by Philip Wadler). https:/…

Thanks! That was actually really good. His performance matches the emotions underlying the song. Something all the covers of Behind Blue Eyes by The Who seem to miss is the slowly …

When I became interested in FPGAs recently, I read this book https://nostarch.com/gettingstartedwithfpgas I bought a cheap FPGA board based on Lattice's ice40. There are free OSS t…

Chapter 9 and section 10.7 of this book show some interesting (and to me unexpected) uses of effects in Ocaml and how they compare to implementations based on monads: https://lukst…

mdx[1] is another variation on this, also in the Ocaml ecosystem. It’s Ocaml’s version of documentation tests as in Elixir and Rust. But it’s not limited to that. You can write tes…

I'm seconding the recommendation to look at Rodnay Zack's books. For example, I really enjoyed Advanced 6502 Programming. It's a project-based tutorial for a custom 6502 machine. T…

> Well I am talking about before a military conflict erupts. I’m talking about what is in the interest of the people, when they are looking at a potential military conflict. When y…

I’m not sure the people in Eastern Ukraine who have been “relocated” to Russia agree with your idea of “nothing changes except for the government”. I don’t think the people across …

I remember seeing a Mandelbrot program for the C64 where half the image was computed on the floppy drive because it's basically the same computer as the main C64. I think it had a …

I haven't used LLVM in ages. I think it injects references to functions in the CRT when you do certain operations in your code. _fltused is one of them, and I think _ftol? or somet…
