It's a pity that it's no longer available on iOS. I do wonder how realistic it would be to maybe crowdfund the dev team with 3 weeks of Claude Code in order to achieve a working WASM port?

What I can highly recommend is the (free) RetroArch app for AppleTV. You upload your legally owned ROM files via a simple web interface and you can just pair your bluetooth gamepad with the AppleTV. Side node: The same thing works on phones

I'm the same and in my opinion this is the best of both worlds. Taking the time to learn some of the regular (emacs-style) shortcuts is one of the best investments I've ever done. Even just CTRL+Y and the likes. edit: And of cours

I just today learned about Multi-Head Latent Attention, which is also sort of a way of compressing the KV cache. Can someone explain how this new development relates to MHLA?

I've come across this before, one thing I haven't realized is that in addition to an emulator of the line browser, they're also offering an emulation of the original NeXT browser WorldWideWeb: https://worldwideweb.

This reminds me of this yearly StarCraft AI competition (since 2010), however I think it uses a special API that makes it easy for bots to access the game Edit: Forgot link: https://davechurchill.ca/starcraft/

Slightly related, Video Chess is a Chess game for the Atari VCS/2600, very technically impressive since the VCS only has 128 bytes(!) of RAM. Another technical limitation are the VCS's rudimentary sprites, that wouldn't even

While I'm not a fan of Perl per se, I find it fascinating. One of the reasons for that is that its creator, Larry Wall, is a linguist by trade. This shows in a lot of ways, for example by the fact that, like natural languages, Perl h

More often than L and H, I use { and }, which jumps across paragraphs (i.e. blocks of lines separated by blank lines). I've found that most of my code consists of 3-5 line blocks, and { and } feel like a nice medium-range navigation to

I have only dabbled in AWK, but I love the book "The AWK Programming Language" by its authors. Its a great read for any programmer, highlighting pragmatic techniques to solve real-world problems.
