Nice work, using fixed-function units for unexpected applications feels properly old-school!

I had the same experience, lol. I started with Crime and Punishment expecting thinly veiled philosophy where each character is a mouthpiece for one of the author's thought processe…

Truly the biggest prize of the IOCCC is getting your name listed next to geniuses like the author of nanochess.

So every time my ISP changes my IP, facebook pitches a fit, makes me solve a dozen captchas and authenticate on an existing login session, but in the meantime Meta' sother website …

Pathetically hypocritical to use AI to write this blog post when generic copy editors have been hit way harder by AI than programmers.

15 years ago, Enterprise FizzBuzz [1] was supposed to be satire. These days, it's not quite complex enough to capture "modern" web dev. [1] https://github.com/EnterpriseQualityCodi…

For a long time, windows had two options: 1. Update and restart and prompt for bitlocker password and update and restart and prompt for bitlocker password and restart 2. Update and…

Microsoft Go? I've used Go on windows for years now and this is the first I've heard of this fork. So it only exists because microsoft wants to have a crypto package that complies …

The velocity of a spacecraft in low earth orbit is over 15,000 miles per hour. Smashing into the atmosphere is perhaps the most fuel- and cost-efficient way to slow down to a speed…

Heh, so it's an 1897 version of what this guy on youtube attempted with a monster truck with mild success: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohxGA7fpfu0 (warning: extremely redneck)

One thing the article doesn't seem to mention is noise. I've found that the "actual" air purifiers seem to be much quieter than box fans. Perhaps if you had greater control over th…

The issue is that the "young" demographic mentioned in the article is ages 18-29, and high school must have changed quite a bit in recent years if students have not actually heard …

Judging by the project, it's implemented by instrumenting the source code; either manually modifying error returns with a wrapper function, or by running source files through an au…

Even though I hate emojis in general, it still drives me nuts that there's a swan emoji but not a goose emoji

I'm not anyone involved in this thread (so far), but I've written a minimal PDF parser in the past using something between 1500-2000 lines of Go. (Sadly, it was for work so I can't…

Having to hold perfectly still (possibly in an uncomfortable pose) in a giant machine that's making loud, uncanny noises for 20+ minutes is indeed a very bizarre, meditative experi…

Jon Bois is a genius, and this is the main example I return to when tempted to think that hypermedia is just a gimmick. It takes a special type of creativity to not just make it fe…

Here's an idea for how to maintain Go moving forward: keep making the damn tool however you want. The thing never would have existed in the first place if they had started with an …

Yes, I was in the first category of people, where I am using GDNative to ultimately call a single function written in Go, not due to speed, but simply in order to leverage a huge a…

As much as I'm looking forward to 4, has GDExtension been stabilized / documented yet? I know there's the existing C++ example [1], but I really, really don't want to jump through …

Boy, if only you saw how popular Beamer (a LaTeX presentation framework) was in certain academic circles. Spoiler: it leads to exactly the problem you describe, in addition to usin…
