My advice would be to read Piumarta's "Optimizing direct threaded code by selective inlining" paper [1] first, and then read the references from the wikipedia article [2]. If the p…

I wonder if anyone tried this in Android, which also has a logo partition. Maybe not the flagship phones, but if I were to guess, I'd guess the TV sticks and other Android streamin…

You nailed it. This is so vendors can rebrand without having to rebuild and re-sign.

And Clojure has "Simple made easy" [1] [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxdOUGdseq4 -> on of Rich Hickey's best talks

The Panama canal saves about 8000 miles, which about 2 weeks time at 20 knots, plus fuel and crew, insurance, etc. That comes to $285k per day. Depending on the wait time (I've see…

I skimmed your substack, and it seems to me that you would like SICP. Give it a try.

For the initiated, this is SICP[1] Exercise 1.19. That exercise walks you through a proof without explicitly using linear algebra. I remember having a blast solving this back in th…

Also interested in the answer, and I thought a bit about this and have a hypothesis that DNA does not encode everything, instead it depends on implicit assumptions about the enviro…

I did it on 2.5 million domains from the various top 1 million lists and here are the ones with over 10 thousand matches: 11308 include 12284 stripe-verification 13377 cisco-ci-dom…

Multiple people intuitively pointed out that the OP is actually quite wrong. The shocking fact, to me at least, is how far this goes: all of humanity share a single male ancestor […

Quote them some Henry David Thoreau[1]: "Why should we live with such hurry and waste of life? We are determined to be starved before we are hungry. Men say that a stitch in time s…

So years ago there was a corruption scandal in Brazil, where gambling is illegal. A guy named Carlinhos Cachoeira[1] found that fact a great opportunity and built a gambling empire…

Both the article and your "gift as a burden" remark reminded me of Walden: "I had three pieces of limestone on my desk, but I was terrified to find that they required to be dusted …

The browser "won" on seamless distribution. The browser is all the things you said and worse. It conflates the developer API (which could be as complex as the collective human comp…

That the Austrian School is being singled out is particularly interesting right now, given that they are highly critical of fractional-reserve banking precisely because it might ge…

I wonder how popular will "AI veganism" be.

Yes, but [1]: "Can I access to the network from the virtual machine ? Yes it is possible. It uses the websocket VPN offered by Benjamin Burns (see his blog[2]). The bandwidth is ca…

For a minimal experience, one can use WPE Webkit, which I've had some fun with. https://wpewebkit.org/

Take a look at Standard Ebooks[1] as well, which I heard from here at HN. Their motto is "Free and liberated ebooks, carefully produced for the true book lover", and they live up t…

Add the "autonomous car trapped by a circle of salt" to your repertoire if you haven't seen it already: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thuN2HD6m2s

The counter-argument from the embassies point of view would be that, since you're running the browser on top of the simpler execution environment, you could ship the exact version …
