Hahaha I very much enjoyed seeing GOOL there. I also love that you went for that over GOAL, which is probably the much more famous one.

Exactly my thought haha. And Urbit comes from the LISP/Lambda Calculus world of concerning themselves with high level abstractions and mathematical elegance above all, while Uxn an…

Yeah and he didn't want to deal with receiving death threats for working on a passion project. Which I guess is considered being "emotionally unstable".

I usually use snowflake as a last resort, and even that's not consistently working right now. However I've seen people recommend running Conduit[1] to friends overseas, which is an…

> It subsidize basic needs of its poorer citizens, such as fuel, bread, housing, education and healthcare. Hold on, am I living in the wrong Iran?

I guess it's time to check "be accused of spreading psyops" off my internet bucket list. Because I guess you're not interested in my own personal experience of witnessing said peop…

We do. It's not very good. As in, there isn't even a properly functioning domestic search engine that can match the quality of anything past AltaVista. The only local platforms wor…

It unfortunately reads a bit like an unintentional punchline, yes.

Gonna link SSFF's enjoyable telling of the 3DO port story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxF1_wg2d_Q I will never get over the company CEO sending here PNGs of new weapon models …

Rust also has the standard NonZero type for that use case.

I like the sentiment, I love C. But this book seems riddled with errors and baffling decisions. First of all, the fixed points are LITERALLY NOT FIXED POINTS. They're decimal float…

I really like the design choices they've made. Namely: - Once you cut out the legacy nonsense out of C, you can then add a few nice modern features to your language and still end u…

Nice job! Very Important: Are you gonna be adding an entry for the Japan-exclusive set-top box that had its own official port of DOOM done by Jonathan Blow? :p

It also reads to me like the contradictions are intentional. Something about software today feeling samey and churned-out.

I love the 6502, but if we're considering teaching architecture using a legacy machine my preferred choice would be the PDP-11. The ISA is quite nice, and the machine has many of t…

Moving all allocations outside the library was also explored in [Minimalist C Libraries]( https://nullprogram.com/blog/2018/06/10/ )

Most of the popular games in the 2600's library have been disassembled and reverse engineered over the years.[1] As for Activision, they pretty much don't really care about a bunch…

Imagine a function z=f(x,y) in 3D space. Now picture a plane at say, x=3, that is parallel to the plane passing through the Y and Z axes. This x=3 plane cuts through our function, …
