Tangently related, does anyone have experience with AsciiDoc? I've used reStructuredText before, but AsciiDoc is tempting, it looks cleaner.

Which part, unSP? There is a PDF floating around the Internet called "unSP Programmer's Guide". Annoyingly didn't find that PDF until after I had already REed everything

Fun fact: the 2016 model Furby uses an obscure ISA you've never heard of (and if you have, let me know!) called µnSP. I managed to get Pong running on a Furby a few years ago and by far the hardest part was figuring out that completely

But that probably isn't the function you want, because that will return -1 if the input is negative. What you want to return is a boolean. And in that case the code generated is much simpler https://godbolt.org/z/5

Wondering the same. Seems like you could provide your own implementation or use a third party implementation. Be curious to see a write up on the bloat, what exactly it looks like

I know there's been improvements to the defaults in Plasma 6 which is set to release in February. Stuff like double click instead of single click for opening folders. I plan to try it once it releases.

As someone who reads C++ disassembly/decompilation for a living... Yeah kinda. It depends. If the target code is full of virtual function calls, yeah it gets gross. But if you need dynamic dispatch, C isn't going to be any better,

> You've essentially described C I'd disagree pretty strongly with that. C is more focused on being relatively simple to implement and backwards compatibility with the past 50 years. (I read a blog post by a C committee member

? This is exactly how snprintf works, which is what we're discussing.

For the first idea: Yes, but both of those would have to interpret the format string and determine the character lengths of the arguments which is duplicated work. I'd imagine its a large portion of the work. I'm not convinced its

Looks neat. Have you looked into using the new WebTransport protocol? https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-webtrans-ov... https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-webt

If that was sarcasm, I don't think it landed. If not, well, let's not discourage people from admitting when they are wrong. It's a healthy thing to do.

They edited their original comment before you saw it, apparently the original tone was a bit harsh

Wow really? That's annoying. Why go to all the trouble to add the switch if they won't implement it correctly

I haven't played DOS (though now I might). My understanding is that BG3 is more story and character focused. And while they've done a surprisingly good job adapting D&D combat to video game format, it's definitely not per

> assuming 32 bit ints That's really not a valid assumption. There are 16 bit int platforms, I've worked on them. It's not even that uncommon. Casting in this scenario is simply incorrect. The correct thing to do is to use

It always surprises me how slow streams are. fscanf should be relatively slow because it has to parse the format string at runtime. So the new C++ format should be (and I believe is) much faster

Android apps can already run native code, so there's no performance benefit. Also, Java "virtual machines" and native virtual machines are two very different things, they shouldn't be equated.

Honestly just use Ghidra. It has it's quirks but it's pretty good. And open source. If it's good enough for the NSA it's probably good enough for recreational use.

This is true, Linux developers could write their own fully featured FTL. However, it's difficult. To quote the MTD docs "Unfortunately it is a rather difficult task to create a good FTL layer and nobody still managed to implement

Yes, and I'm excited about that! Though I do wish the syntax sucked less. Also would be interesting to see it be the primary integer type of the language. I'm also interested in a more advanced version for setting arbitrary bounds

by IAmLiterallyAB 3y ago
I agree. And I find it interesting that everyone seems to think the alternative is having a handful of hard coded sizes (8, 16, 32, 64). I don't think that's the answer either. I imagine a language without any concrete integer typ

I really like the idea of VLIW CPUs, it's a shame none of them have worked out. Does anyone know of any other cool more modern CPU designs? Stuff like RISCV is fine but doesn't feel particularly innovative

Yeah you really have to watch the talk video to understand the article. Which is a time sink but I felt it was worth it
