Isn't the entire point of an optimizer to convert "bad code" into "good code"? Your proposed solution is to have the user manually implement a hash table, but if you have a good op…

Interesting idea, but this implementation has UB: typedef void* var; struct Header { var type; }; // ... #define alloc_stack(T) header_init( \ (char[sizeof(struct Header) + sizeof(…

It's not an ad-hoc turing complete language, it is just a programming language. Makefiles are just programs. There are some strange implicits, but that isn't unique to the Make pro…

I think they meant that the bytecode itself reads like a forth. The data stack works just like it does in forth within a single Python function.

I work on a library for doing Python bytecode transformations like this, but with a more abstract API. Here is a similar transformation with this library, which works with Python 3…

So, like some sort of shared library that my programs dynamically communicate with? How is this functionally different from a shared object?

I've been to chiles, not surprised to see that on the top of the list.

You need to know how the character is written regardless because the stroke order is part of the character. There are some basic rules like working left to right and top to bottom.…

What about a 9 hour flight? Bring 2 sets of pilots?

Great write up. I am a maintainer of a project you opened a PR on, but the diff is large and seems to include unrelated changes. Maybe you based of a fork and the opened the PR to …

I'm also in Cambridge, for a long time they were replacing some pipes under my street. This would cause weird, seemingly ambient sounds.

Why does it matter if the users are high income? Twitter can still serve ads to low income users.

With enough wrapping, the templates can be okay to write. For example https://github.com/llllllllll/wired looks like a shitty lisp.

This pattern was possible with a scoped class in c++ 98.

Many games (by common definition) are strictly execution based. For example, most rhythm games (e.g. Osu!, Beatmania, DDR, Guitar Hero, etc) do not have any element of randomness o…

I can see the art being preserved as a critical feature for adventure games, but with StarCraft remastered it seems everyone loves the new art. The most important thing for that ga…

I love osu!, but there are no strategic actions, you just click the circles.
