   Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't this essentially just coroutines? In Lua you can do `myFile = coroutine.yield("get a file")` to pause your coroutine, and when the caller does `coroutine.resume(someFile)` it's

   Yes. I made a post 3 months ago with my resume, and was contacted if I was interested in a position. I just started at the job last week.

   Not really. You potentially don't know who is "resuming", and so don't know what registers they will clobber. It would only be a "downside" if 1) your code uses a register 2) no other possible green threads do,

   I'm surprised to hear about this. USDS is paraded around as one of the poster childs of how to pair tech with the public sector and effective government work. Are there any posts about how they failed with VA benefits?

   I think it was a joke. The way the quote was worded makes it sound like the Earth is curving upwards - if you shoot straight to the horizon you'll hit air, not the ground.

    Some people at CERN made a smartwatch for a colleague's retirement a number of years ago. Their entire project is FOSS, complete with a talk at FOSDEM 2015. It's not quite a tutorial or walk through, might be interesting for you.

    I did a MAL implementation too, and am currently working on an LLVM compiler, but dear god I'd never frame it as "spent x years learning to make a compiler". MAL is easy, and straightforward - I'm not saying this to deva

    You can trivially dump your module to a file with the actual LLVM API using `LLVMPrintModuleToFile`, even if the module is in the middle of being built. It's easier to emit human-readable LLVM IR if you're just playing around (or

    Yup. IDA Pro is the gold standard, and was basically the only choice for a long time. It's also stupidly expensive and priced for defense contractor funny money, with an individual license nearly $3000 [0]. Most freelancers just use

    They mention that the latency of the neural network, from input to action, is around 360ms, which is on the lower end of professional level. It can do context switches between micro/macro very quickly, which is where it's strength

    It does reference counting, but it's not mark-and-sweep stop the world reference counting. It's as garbage collected as shared_ptr<T> and doesn't try to collect cycles. Feels a bit weird to put that under the same bucke

    Every single C compiler worth mentioning will turn a switch statement into a jump table. The difference between a jump table and computed goto is only that one is `jmp [ecx+eax 8]` and the other is `mov edx, [ecx+eax 8]; jmp edx`. The later
