I think that ChatGPT could be a big accelerator for creative activity, but I wouldn't trust any output that I've only partially verified. That limits it to human scale problems in its direct output, but there are many ways that hu

I've wondered about the same thing of generating a permutation with a minimum number of samples. I'm not sure how Gray codes helps you here, and the multiplication sounds wrong since many outputs aren't reachable from any inp

My motivation is to interact with the content of the website. Form is good only while it improves function. For example, simple css improves my ability to read a website over the default rendering of .txt (often seen in websites about K). H

This means that you can even quote the delimiter in the string as long as it's balanced. $X=q( foo() ) Should work if it's balanced. If you choose a different pair like []{} then you can avoid hitting collisions. It also

I use fzf with an text file which lists all files installed by a package with the package name. That way if I know the header name, I can get the package name. If I know the package name, I can get all its files.

What I found insightful about this was how a curated git history can be insightful about how to design your software structure to support its natural requirements based on its history.

This is very cool. Two uses come to mind: 1. Alternative variable name suggestions. I am writing code, and I try to figure out what to name a variable that about a data frame which is my performance data which takes the maximum of random sa

Some people are good at making changes relevant only to one task, making commits at appropriate points to that task, and ensuring that none of the intermediate commits are regressions. Sometimes people prefer to deal with future pain of com

This is exactly what I meant by an interpolation variation on a library sort with several more important details. I didn't know Marshall was into sorting since I know of him from his history of optimizing Dyalog APL.

This looks like it's in the family of interpolation sorts. The one I noticed which seemed most similar was FlashSort: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashsort In general, it makes most sense to compare it against

Predicting through jump tables is no small part of the purpose of indirect branch prediction. This impacts two critical abilities here: 1. Good local decisions from the compiler optimizer; 2. Good execution by superscalar microarchitectures

I find this compelling, but the lines feel blurry to me. For example, take Hacker News. When I read hacker news, it's both static and simple. But, if I want to make a comment, suddenly I need authentication and a text box. So, does all

Management has the authority to set policies on how work-provided technology is used since they can fire you for not following those policies (constrained by law). Between IT and developers, this isn't a fully-ordered relation since IT

I agree with you that it's arrogant for someone in a specialty to expect everyone else to invest into their specialty. I see this all the time from business initiatives saying that we need to integrate time tracking into the culture to

"benchmarks always tell you if there's a problem and exactly where it is, and squash any unneeded discussion." Unfortunately, always is too strong of a word. Cache eviction in one parts can cause memory stalls on another part

I 100% struggle with this, and it makes me a slower developer. As I said elsewhere, the dirty data / control flow of two passes to do a one character substitution is as painful to me as synchronizing two copies of the same function for

Strongly agree. When functionality is in the same service, you can have logs with a reasonable sequence, a shared clock, stack traces, cache consistency, fewer failure points, one commit atomically updates both ends of an interface, etc. Si

Would it have been feasible to improve the FFI of existing common lisp implementations? The last talk of yours that I watched showed clasp to be slower than common lisp relative to C.

perl5 meets that except for the REPL. Maybe elisp? I feel like golang could take the place of a lot of Python out there, but not all, certainly. It would be nice to have an alternative to Python that took backwards compatibility seriously.
