I'm working on old hardware and not-recent Linux and compiler versions, and I have no confidence yet in allowing AI direct (write) access to my repositories. Instead I provided Claude with the source code of a transpiler to C (one file

The article claims, that senior developers with over 10 years of experience are more than twice as likely to heavily rely on AI tools compared to their junior counterparts. No p-values or statistical significance tests are reported in eithe

Wouldn't just adding an "end" to the compounds suffice? An alternative syntax might be a good idea, but #{ and #} looks pretty noisy.

He essentially built a harpsichord, just without a keyboard. Not even sure whether it can slide (the vertically moving parts look like, but didn't find any so far in the examples).

The author seems to have some interesting OS projects, and also his own PL, which seems to be used by the author for his Serenum OS, but many questions remain open (e.g. what's the architecture of the kernel, how does it releate to kno

Well, feels like a typical nerd talk, just starts with some detail and then meanders through all kinds of other details; it's best understood if you already know how all these details fit together ;-)

The article describes how tools like GGML and its derivatives (whisper.cpp, llama.cpp, etc) represent a shift away from complex, general-purpose frameworks (such as TensorFlow and PyTorch) to simple, single-purpose codebases that are easy t

How was it implemented? C#? C++?

This is amazing. Is the author of the OS also the author of the language? The language looks pretty high-level; why was it chosen for the OS implementation? What architecture does the kernel have (monolythic, micro, etc.)?

Pretty out of tune, but funny. Stevie Wonder had a Harpejji, which uses an isomorphic pattern of frets and tapped strings. While not strictly a keyboard, this instrument has been embraced by many keyboard players due to its consistent geome

Ok, meanwhile the admins seem to have combined all the comments here, so the link now points to an empty post; and I made this comment a few days (not four hours) ago. So just ignore it.

The VM includes a bytecode interpreter and some other functions; its implementation cannot be changed during runtime.

Entertaining. The presenter obviously doesn't like the class hierarchy to correspond to the domain model. He seems to think that this was an essential feature of OOP, supported by some quotations by Smalltalk exponents. But not even th

I can confirm that the referenced article is chapter 6 in De Mol's and Primiero's book, which from my humble point of view is a typical Springer book, far a way in an ivory tower. May I ask in what respect you find the article&#x2
