Worked great but it was hard. Only got to 7 with 1 ball.

Yeah don't worry too much about it. You are still young, this is your first book. That is a great accomplishment. Don't let the comments discourage you, use them, learn from them a…

I see, you thought I meant that C was the only language with this property. No there are plenty of others, I was fully aware of that. I on the other hand thought you meant that JOV…

I am curious, what was it I said that you consider to be a myth? If I have some misunderstanding I would like to know. I looked at JOVIAL on wikipedia quickly but I can't see exact…

True, it doesn't give you the bare machine. What it gives you is the thinnest of machine abstraction with the possibility of linking to your own assembly if you have the demand for…

This is, perhaps surprisingly, what I consider the strength of C. It doesn't hide the issues behind some language abstraction, you are in full control of what the machine does. The…

First off, I want to congratulate you on reaching this milestone. I think this is the state where the most seasoned programmers end up. They know how to write code that works and t…

I agree as a whole but aren't all thoughts some sort of guesswork? Facts just have a higher probability?

If Linux previously always outperformed Windows the result should be similar this time around as well. It could possibly be some missing feature or a bug in the linux drivers but i…

I just want to be a bit picky and say that bike shedding means focusing on trivial matters while ignoring or being oblivious to the complicated parts. What he described sounded mor…

A command-line tool called berk that is a versatile job dispatcher written in c. It is meant to replace big clunky tools like Jenkins, Ansible etc. It has syntax similar to git. It…

Yeah I am not advocating creating a new seperate register, even though that would be nice. Like the poster below said, there are usually some unpreserved registers to choose from b…

I think it would have been better if they had designed it so that the error message from the kernel came in a seperate register. That would mean you didnt have to use signed int fo…

I have no experience of using it so I might be wrong but AMD has ROCm which has something called HIP that should be comparable to CUDA. I think it also has a way to automatically t…

Sad to hear this since I think this was the lander containing the Moonhouse art project. I would have loved to see the little red cottage on the moon with the earth as it's backdro…

I would buy one but only if I am guaranteed to be able to compile the source code somewhat easily and flash it to the device. Anyone knows if they have made any promises around tha…

I am on the complete opposite side here. I detest language specific package managers for many reasons.

I think you have something promising there. I like that everything starts with a keyword, it makes the language feel consistant and I assume the parser is simple to understand beca…

I don't understand the immediate concern about using 32 bits for file creation and modification times. Its reasonable to assume that if the value has overflown and is very low that…

A linker typically only includes the parts of the library it needs for each binary so some parts will definately have many copies of the same code when you statically link but it w…

One thing I remember was that DOOM did not run well on the 486SX. You needed the 486DX which had an FPU. Maybe there was a 486DX with 33mhz but most were 66mhz I think?

Yeah good question. And what is the current tick rate?

Feels like just the tip of the iceberg. He is a pretty awful human being.

I think there is a company that does this exact thing.

Yeah NewOS is the basis for Haiku. Travis later created another kernel called lk. That is the one that was used as the base for Fuchsia if I remember this correctly.
