    I'll try to do the first one since I think it's the most illustrative: 1 long typedef[[]]*($)(void*($),...); 2 int main() { 3 char* str = "Hello, world."; 4 $ $ asm("puts"); 5 $:&&…

    this is great! very nice ui, and quite challenging on the high difficulties. reminds me of 14mv a bit - and judging by the reactions to it on steam you're going to get so many fals…

    worst case, it's not generated and they just used ai for editing without realizing it has such a distinct style. that might be the case here: in the couple of paragraphs around the…

    why are so many websites called title-of-the-article-dot-com ai-generated? I suppose the kind of people making them just don't have a blog or something

    I'm kind of on the opposite side of the problem here where all my notes end up as unstructured puddles of thought vomit. in classes people asked a few times for me to show them my …

    I doubt that it can. so in addition to C's quirks (which I know about), I have to care about go's quirks and solod's quirks as well? and for what? there's no solod-to-regular-go in…

    interesting! have you tried putting the compressed payload into a large block comment at the end/start of the file, and recovering it by loading your own source as bytes to prevent…

    note that this is going after "psychologically exploitative features intended to maximize engagement" of all kinds, not just infinite feeds. it also poses an ultimatum banning peop…

    can you give your example of a great article written by an ai or a cat?

    not op, but from my experience overlined ts are a thing from a bygone era I'm afraid. my parents sometimes do it, but I don't know anybody under 30 who would write it this way. on …

    wow, what an interesting optimization! how would you even figure out that that if is what's needed to make it faster?

    I think putting the buckets in eytzinger layout might help with cache locality here? though on the other hand they might all fit into cache anyways.. I'd also want to try interpola…

    [1] seems to have the actual details on compressed vectors. looks like for each page you're storing min&max, and the values come as offsets from the min (smaller->less bits per val…

    on mobile firefox, I'm seeing tons of numbered footnotes that don't link back to anything. is this a styling issue or what? [4] like this

    I know of odin, it seems alright, but it feels like every post or comment I see about what odin is like was written by its creator ginger bill. my $0.02: if they think odin is nota…

    I don't mind discussing syntax when appropriate, but this feels like arguing over which trivial brainfuck substitution[1] is the best. > monoid nullables with `??` and `?.` are als…
