You can make your allocations faster if you don't have to worry about deallocation. Could be a performance thing.

> Too much stress? I bet if you paid people so much money that they could work for 10 years and then either retire to a lower paying job, or retire entirely, people would deal with…

I do agree that the pace is reasonable. Both with opaque pointers and the new pass manager API there was a quite a long transition period where both were supported before the old s…

I think the bitcode parsers (binary and textual) are quite backwards compatible. Old bitcode IR will be upgraded transparently. So you might not have to keep up.

Absolutely not. They do invasive changes all the time. At work we maintain an LLVM compatibility library that provides a stable interface across different LLVM versions. It has gro…

This reminds me of when I was still in university. During our compilers course we used the "Modern Compiler Implementation in Java" book. Because I was really into FP at the time, …

Flask is FOSS, maybe it is not too difficult to add support for this yourselves.

If I switch to the light theme and back again, the diagrams become white and readable.

The only downside is, I believe, the electricity bill. The reason to use a rpi is that it has enough computational power to do many useful self-hosting tasks while consuming only a…

There are many places in the world where this is not a thing. I live in a densely populated country where it it simply not possible to get that far away from any city. If you drive…

This is what the Glasgow Haskell Compiler runtime does. If you run a Haskell application, you'll see it has uses 1TB of virtual memory. This way you never have to talk to the kerne…

Can you explain the privacy argument to me? Bitcoin is a massive public ledger, I have a local copy of literally every transaction ever made. How is that better for privacy?

Don't quote me on this, but I think most String operations are compiled to StringBuilder operations automatically.

I would like to point out how the PPSSPP project circumvents this problem. It's an open-source PSP emulator. They have the a free version available on the Play Store here: https://…

What if your code is browser specific and uses the javascript based API? You'll need to run it in the browser to debug it right?

RSA is just notoriously difficult to implement correctly, unless you're some kind of crypto expert. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lElHzac8DDI

I find calling Haskell's type systen ad-hoc rather surprising. Would you care to elaborate on that?

Azerty, it's used in France and Belgium and maybe some other places too.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but these days everyone usually sends MIDI over USB. It doesn't have any of the problems you described, every computer has USB ports in some form or anothe…

It's supposed to be a lot shorter and simpler. Which means many important things were left out for the sake of brevity. I also think LFS doesn't always explain why we are doing cer…

Your kind words are much appreciated. Many people seem to indeed be missing the point. I wasn't trying to create a new distro, I'm just trying to teach people in a way so that it w…
