gonna have a panic attack at the twinkle twinkle "star" not being a half-note.

I wrote this in a review I believe, but this is one of the most comprehensive introductions to a good 80% of what could be considered a high performance computing education. It's e…

Triggered by the use of 1-bit to describe a trit.

My thought has always been that the ratio of lifetime to any given sublifetime unit of time is always increasing, leading to a change in relative experience. But if you focus on th…

And to celebrate the free for free internet of the past, google is finally finishing its acquisition of dejanews by shutting down their usenet indexing. https://support.google.com/…

First project I've ever seen that made me instantly sponsor it. Then to only find out you wrote fd and hexyl and some other classics. Great work.

I love this and I'm super glad it's being developed, but I think I'd have to break my arm or hand (or have severe RSI) to really dive in. The startup cost seems high, mentally spea…

How does this handle the machine running out of memory?

This is great, the amount of boilerplate it takes to write an iterator is a bit cumbersome right now. Looking forward to see how this fares as it moves towards stable.

Let's say you wanted to run some python code that was written and test it against some C/C++/Rust for accuracy of some sort (numerical, lexicographical, etc). In the old way you wo…

Same w/ Rust and Python, this is really neat because now each thread could have a GIL without doing exactly what you said. The pyO3 commit to allow subinterpreters was merged 21 da…

I drove into a ditch in Costa Rica following google maps. It was the end of any fantasy of ine that they still wanted to organize the world's information. Luckily it only cost $500…

This was the big turning point for me, and I'm in my forties. Thinking that I couldn't enjoy exercise was mainly because my 'form' was so bad it literally hurt. Luckily you can get…

The mental health limitations around flight are how you get malaysian air flight 370. Don't say anything, treat anything, work through anything involving mental health because you'…

Oddly my parents owned a bookstore, so yea I was growing up in the opposite of the GOP vision for Florida.

jarmitage is a legend (in my eyes), so I'm sure he has his own opinions, but TidalCycles (as it is now known) depends on supercollider for both Midi and Sample playback. It communi…

As a kid I had access to that book and I got to be a pretty wicked card thrower. Haven't tried it in a while.

from NASA: Space exploration helps to address fundamental questions about our place in the Universe and the history of our solar system.

Incredible. I still remember 13 ghosts being the most intense game I'd seen on TRS-80. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQDqYZ2pgOs

This is akin to saying get all your trash back from the landfill before it closes.

Oddly the first issue I came across today was folks being confused about this. I haven't gotten to the bottom of where the code is now, but this go library was messing up len == 0 …

the ability to cast nil as a zero length array means there's no difference between a function that returns a zero length array and a function that returns nil (assuming some castin…

This is the most satisfying answer, but it doesn't make the implications less complex.

My fave golang slice trick is the len of an empty slice is 0, but the slice itself is == to nil, but the len of nil won't compile. Can't understand that one. https://go.dev/play/p/…
