Here you go https://pypi.org/project/pylivecoding/

Built a live coding library for python that allows me to reload code I edited while it was executing. It has repl and debugger support and it can be run even for embedded python. I…

youtube greece is down returns "oops" error but i can still playback a 2 hour video that I was already watching before it went down. Trying to open any other video or channel retur…

A possible approach is to use Cython to convert Python code to C code and then compile that code to WebAssembly. I would not be surprised if there is a tool for that already

Colored pencils, pens and notebooks. Excellent opportunity to rest my eyes away from the computer screen.

Well judging from the fact that my first computer my father bought back in 1988 Amstrad CPC 6128 is still alive and kicking with very active community and more development tools th…

Python syntax can be heavily and easily manipulated via the ast module. An example of this is hylang https://github.com/hylang/hy

Rust is very unpopular. Popular being besides the usual suspects Assembly, Visual Basic, Delphi, Objective C , Swift etc. Finding the popularity of a language is actually pretty ea…

IT runs on a wide array of technologies. Desktop games and 3D graphics which the area I focus and obviously a massive part of the software market if we include consoles and mobile …

The irony of the thing is that in manual memory management languages you end up doing your own garbage collectors and in garbage collector languages you end up doing your own manua…

I don’t. I keep my super sensitive data in my head. I never believed in computer security and never will. But the I never believed in security in general. Why on earth you would ne…

If the sofware is from the 80s that is very good news, it means it runs on simpler hardware and the code will be simpler and easier to fix. Which is what made it viable for us to c…

The only thing it gets in my nerves is lack of comments and documentation. The fallacy that code can be remotely as easy to understand as natural language text. The rest I can endu…

I will take the money for the Yacht and buy a submarine. Enjoy the depth before we completely ruin them via climate change and pollution.

I guess I am heretic for breaking my project to a collection of DLLs. Ironically I am doing it over a 2 mil lines of code statically linked code base. The statically linked code ba…

Nothing impressive but its a start

Why is this a problem ?

there are tons of services only that will allow you to code online using any language eve C , C++ and Assembly. From inside the browser of course. Of course I am not recommending a…

That's debatable. It's not as if downloading Python and making your first app will take you more than a few seconds, minus download time. Set up is rarely an issue, once you set up…

I have implemented live coding via DLLs for C , it’s not hard to do and can easily replace gdb. I don’t think that gdb offers live coding outside the box. Inspecting live state and…

I was never a fan of IRC although I am still a part time user since 1995. I was always annoyed losing replies just because I went offline and of course all the weird self disconnec…

Discord. It was made mainly for games and it has exploded the last few years for pretty much about everything. I was introduced to Slack because the programming language I was usin…

I don't know why but I read first the title as "CastSatan" oh wait ... I now know why It's a C++ article.

One more epic discussion on Python, where we have the unique opportunity to learn that using C libraries from Python is "cheating". I could not agree more It's definitely cheating …

Who would have guessed that compiled, static, non-dynamic, hardware accelerated code would be a ton more performant than runtime, highly dynamic, garbage collected and very powerfu…
