Prolog is for logic what inverse kinematics is for robotics. Where in imperative programming languages you supply arguments to a function and get a result in Prolog you can give th…

The answer is in the introduction: > Claude Code is running in production across multi-million-line monorepos, decades-old legacy systems, distributed architectures spanning dozens…

Software engineering is only about 20% writing code (the famous 40-20-40 split). Most people use it only for the first 40%, and very succesfully (im in that camp). If you use it to…

Doesn’t this conflate dry-running with integration testing? ASAIK the purpose of a dry-run is to understand what will happen, not to test what will happen. For the latter we have t…

Yes, but then the GPU needs that amount of ram, so it's fairer to look at the sum of RAM + VRAM requirements. With compressed representations you trade CPU cycles for RAM. To save …

> Coyuld anyone summarize why a desktop Windows/MacOs now needs so much more RAM than in the past Just a single retina screen buffer, assuming something like 2500 by 2500 pixels, 4…

I will definitely reads these books when they come out. For a historic overview of mathematics with (accessible) formulas I highly recommend “Journey through genius: The great theo…

Concurrent programming is hard and has many pitfalls; people are warned about this from the very, very start. If you then go about it without studying proper usage/common pitfalls …

Maybe the real reason is more related to Price’s law/Pareto’s principle, loosely meaning that 90% of the work is done by 10% of the people. In other words, in large companies most …

Anyone knows what does "native" means here precisely? Steam Deck has a x86-64 instruction set AFAIK, so it's just same as a the Windows version? Or has it to do with the GPU / OS? …

If this thinnest iphone air has 27 hours of video playback, why does the regular iphone 17, which looks twice as thick only has 30 hours? At this point, I just want long battery li…

If you enjoy this art-style, definitely check out the game Return to the Obra Dinn.

Well, I use it before google, since it in general summarizes webpages and removes the ads. Quite handy. It’s also very useful to check if you understand something correctly. And fo…

It’s a clever trick. But can it render a textured text? Transparent text, gradient fills? Maybe it can, I dont know. But why not just triangulate the glyph shapes, and represent ea…

I wonder, in reality, if a Lua program uses large (consecutive) arrays, its values will likely have the same type? At the very least it is a common use-case: large arrays of only s…

I suspect it's part of the fun? A way to really learn something? There's also another hint: // THIS FILE WAS AUTO-GENERATED. // CHANGES WILL NOT BE PROPAGATED. // -----------------…

Would be quite funny if Apple now acquires OpenAI.

I don’t find your “seasoned developer” version ugly at all. It just looks more mature and relaxed. It also has the benefits that you can actually do error handling and have space t…

According to that logic, why not distribute fluoride water freely for those who want it? That would serve boths camps, not?
