I've been working with FPGAs for 4 years and shortly on ASICs before that, did software in a previous life (and still do), do you have something specific in mind?

Looking forward to where this goes... For work I had to implement arp, icmp, udp and our protocol on top of udp, for 10G ethernet, in an fpga, it would have been fun to add dhcp an…

My thoughts exactly, as someone who has spent quite some time creating a (usable and readable) LALR syntax that can do everything modern C++ does (plus named arguments, a null-coal…

"Notation matters" "If a language is useful, you will want to generate it by program" well said

I read that paper a long time ago and it was certainly an inspiration :) Originally, the language started out quite different but I can now see why SPECS looks the way it does, I d…

Yes, that is the idea. Dealing with the preprocessor is a lost cause, so I just don't, the idea at the moment is to let the preprocessor do its thing and pipe the output into ctags…

So, my after-work project these days is a language that transpiles to C++ and can do all that current C++ can do. The grammar is completely regular, and the syntax maps 1:1 with th…

Incidentally, this is exactly what I am working on, grammar and parser are mostly done (the grammar is _regular_ and programs can rewrite themselves starting from their AST, becaus…

I work there. It is indeed expensive but salaries can change wildly depending on your position. I think I could afford to go out and eat out but I decided not to. This way I save m…

For what it's worth, that is exactly one of the things I am building. Glad to read I am not the only one needing it.

I wrote mine, but I track tasks and milestones rather than time spent. Time tracking makes sense for freelancers and other people who bill by the hour but personally I tried rescue…

This is EXACTLY what I needed right now for a project. Does it already have a module to do the equivalent of an lspci? If not, where would I have to look to learn how to implement …

This hits home, I have spent many evenings designing a language that is semantically equivalent to C++ (in fact, it's made to transpile to C++11) but with a LALR grammar (using jus…

I see it runs Linux, do you make the OS available?

I've been tracking my work for over a year now with a tool similar to this and now I would not live without (I should finally package it up and ship it...) Some ideas, you can do v…

Same here, good luck!

Italian working in Switzerland here, I've also worked in France and Germany before, they're all very doable. I do not understand what OP is asking for, an obvious first step for a …

Whoa the price is... interesting, may I ask what has been your experience with pricing over 9 years and how you decided to set it at $45?

I have up to four lists per task (tasks themselves form a hierarchy): - todos: for the immediate future - goals: for longer term objectives - ideas: for spontaneous 'eureka' moment…

I LOVE this question (and it's the first thing I usually ask to myself and to others) so: - Study scientific papers by deconstructing them through a wiki-like interface. - Filterin…

It still is!

Indeed, I have been looking for a decent time and progress tracker for ages until I decided to build one, then unlike OP I found myself doing more, not less ;)

Newsblur can filter by tag, author and title keyword(s). I only have a few dozen feeds but the popular ones spew so much content that I honestly could not touch them until I switch…
