If I understand correctly, the idea here is to provide safe scripting by running a RISC V emulator. The "scripts" would be written in C/C++ compiled to RISC V. And then these compiled scripts would be run inside the game engi

Very nice project! I love the fact that you have almost no dependencies for the compiler. I'm interested in learning how to build a compiler for web assembly and your code seems very clean, simple and easy to follow. Thanks!

I'm a happy Wayland user for years already. But on a different topic, it's a bit hard for me to read such harsh critical posts on open source software. Wayland is free software, I don't have to pay a penny for it. It's t

Not only that, but a manually written lexer has much more flexibility. It allows you to easily implement things that lexer generators struggle with. Think of significant indentation, nested comments, interpolation inside string literals. So

I'm not sure if "hatred" is the correct word here. Yes, there has been a ton of skepticism and doubt about V here in HN, but this is very different from hatred. In my opinion, skepticism is not only okay, but desirable in a c

Flatpak seems to follow a similar path as many other Linux technologies like Wayland or Systemd, in the sense that they seem to arouse the anger of a small but very vocal crowd who really can't stand any challenge to the status quo. So

As a long time Chrome user, I decided to test Firefox with my recent Fedora 38 installation. It really seems to have improved a lot since last time I used it. It feels fast and snappy. I think the differences described in the benchmarks are

I guess we have to wait to see proper benchmarking. But I suspect that Kotlin coroutines will still have an advantage in scenarios where a ton of suspension/resume is needed, because I think this is probably cheaper in kotlin coroutine

by ceronman 3y ago
I don't know about Scala, but there are benefits for Kotlin indeed. For example a special dispatcher could be made to schedule each coroutine on a single virtual thread. This would be very handy for coroutines that suspend on IO, and i

He is implying that founders can create a lot of value without employees, and that the claim that employees also create value is false. If that's true, then what about a social experiment: If you are a solo founder, you get all your pr

If you haven't seen it yet, Rebecca Heineman, the author of this code has a long video explaining how this was made. Highly recommended: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBbIil2HPSU

Odin sounds like a nice improvement over C, however this caught my attention: > If your “dread” of C comes from fear of memory management, then Odin is probably not for you, and dare I say, maybe systems programming is not for you. I hav

Having a native looking GUI and being cross platform is almost contradictory. The only way to make truly native looking and feeling GUIs is to use native tools. That means Cocoa on macOS, Gtk or Qt on Linux, and Win32/Winforms/WPF

My experience is very similar. I tried the first iterations of Gnome 3 and was very disappointed. At some point I tried Windows+WSL but that was a complete disaster. A couple of years ago I decided to try Fedora+Gnome+Wayland. It is an outs

I think the point of Async IO is not to go faster, but to be able to server more requests in a single process. This is only possible when request time is mostly spent waiting for I/O. So if you have some server and you want to handle h

Yeah totally! And this not only applies for deallocation, but also for allocation. A generational GC with bump allocation for the young generation can be much faster than a naive C/C++ application using malloc for every single allocati

I guess it's impossible to ever have it correct. The gates are just another level of abstraction. You could also simulate the silicon atoms and the electrons flowing and use that to have transistors and then gates. And so on.
