readtape has now been updated for portability.

Unix V1 also used 1/60 seconds

I was talking about the performance, not the feature set. Russ Cox's re1 and the re1.5 fork have several engines for different implementation strategies. re1 was written for primar…

I find it interesting that MicroPython's `re` module[0] is implemented with a backtracking regular expression engine from re1.5[1], instead of one of the linear-time engines from t…

I just built my PiDP-11 and would love to get one of these.

Simple format. Makes me want to write a parser for it using a shared buffered reader library I’m working on in Rust.

I'm continuing my tradition of doing AoC in Whitespace[0]. The first year I did it, it was motivation to build out a standard library so things wouldn't be so tedious. Now, I find …

The current article[0] says: > Excel 2.0 was released a month before Windows 2.0, and the installed base of Windows was so low at that point in 1987 that Microsoft had to bundle a …

Or easier, do an interactive rebase and mark the last commit which is in the partial-rebase branch for editing. Then, do `git reset --hard partial-rebase` and continue the rebase.

That feeling seems common in hindsight. Everything seems easier, once all the problems have been solved. Related, I enjoy the author's sense of humor: > I made a prototype and, lo …

That explains why there’s so many Swiss APIs.

I use the following to create a commit using the latest modification date of the staged files. If you put it in your PATH as git-tcommit, you can invoke it as `git tcommit`. If GIT…

This was also a year before Mad Libs was invented in 1953, using the same template-filling style.

> The resulting units may be called binary digits, or more shortly, bits. It's interesting to read this early use of “bit”, before the term became commonplace. The first publicatio…

Edited. Thanks

A compiler that injects backdoors in targeted programs and self-propagates the meta-backdoor (to avoid detection in the source) is exactly the trusting trust attack and it can be m…

I didn't touch on that, but I did assume trust of the Rust toolchain, verifying starting at THIR. Verifying rustc would be a monumental undertaking, though I think some people are …

That's really impressive. Automatic translation like this shifts the trust to the tool. coq-of-rust itself is written in Rust, not in Coq. The recursive nature is somewhat boggling…

You might try building Ruffle from source. I’ve found that online versions don’t work for the games I want, due to using an outdated version of Ruffle.

What’s the context for “Do Not Install”?

> Out in the literature we can find a huge number of dataflow analyses, some of which are useful to optimize some kinds of code — but it’s hard to know which ones to actually imple…

> Replace your docs > Developers don't like writing docs. Now, they don't have to! Well that’s a terrible premise. AI can’t get at design decisions or anything that’s not explicitl…
