There's also Rosetta Code, which has tons of problems and language implementations. It's tons of fun to read through.

Only your direct peers can, and they can't tell if you got the content to increase your fitness score or because you wanted the asset for yourself. Peers are incentivized to pull as many assets as they can (which prevents torrent death

So there's absolutely no reason not to implement DRM, ever, because it doesn't help anybody? Abstaining from implementing a feature you don't agree with, especially from an open source program licensed under the GPL, is certa

What a fucking weird article. It goes on about how Microsoft is fine without Windows Phone, and alludes that they have already killed it. The title just straight says they have. Except, uh, that's a blatant lie? Never mind the fact the

I'd hesitate to call Jon Blow an indie dev anymore, expect in the "not a AAA studio" sense. With the success of Braid and including in Indie Games the movies, he is probably one of the most well recognized game developers. Th

In another vein, it's a lot of fun to look at random pages on Rosetta Code. Lots of esoteric languages and snippets of examples of code, all self-added by the community instead of added by one person like the OP's list. I never he

It probably looks like APL. Data-oriented programming, with the only type being vectors/streams of data. Ideal parallelization to however many million CUDA cores just by distributing the workset into partitions. Really, its how GLSL an

Seconding Urbit since I'm a giant fanboy. It's not a new programming languages as much as new computer, internet, everything. And it's a lot of fun to play with - Hoon isn't nearly as difficult as it looks :) As insane a

The "with port forwarding" is the problem there. That assumes you have access to your NAT resolver to add the rule, which isn't a fair assumption to hold. People at colleges, businesses, hosted events, etc. need to do NAT tra

You need a server for holepunching/STUN via IPv4, but not for IPv6 since each client has a unique IP instead of being behind the router's address.

Does being made of wood make it inherently more timeless than if it was made of aluminium? How about if it was chiseled out of stone? You associate a certain style with timelessness, whether you like it or not, while someone else might not.

by chc4 11y ago
Unfortunately, it looks like I've been corrupted by current design trends. I can only look at this and think of the fake wood paneling on station wagons[0], or other faux-antiques. It just screams "kitschy" to me, because I d

I'm pretty sure a TI calculator fits the bill for tech heirloom. It's very basic, just an Z80 cpu and a small LCD display. It's rugged and can last. Even with being outdated tech, they sell for as much as when they first came

PLEASE never use "You could do most of this stuff in Flash" as an argument against WebAssembly or, uh, any other technology. Flash is a 3rd party, closed source, proprietary plugin. Aspiring to replace it with something slightly b

The team behind Replicant reported that they found a baseband backdoor in Samsung Galaxies[0][1]. I think it's perfectly fine to extrapolate from that that you probably shouldn't trust the baseband, even if Google and Apple are lo

by chc4 11y ago
Not only is OsmocomBB incomplete, but it's illegal to use. I've heard it mentioned multiple times that the baseband and the full stack that communicates with the modem has to be verified by the FCC, in order to comply with regulat

In my opinion, that's what has been missing with Starbound, which has been one of the punchingbags for crowdfunding/pre-order games. The engine looks great and it has a lot of unique content - but its just an engine right now, w

It's definitely still a Linux distro. It's just not a GNU/Linux distribution, but Bionic/Linux.

I heard that they arranged a deal for a 1 year lease, and after that year had to take it down. I didn't know that it was back either, that's great news.

Unfortunately the Benchmarks Game seems to have removed LuaJIT in favor of Lua 5.3, but https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2588071/is-luajit-really... mentions it as being an order of magnitude faster. I've

by chc4 11y ago
Not defending the grandparent's post, but LuaJIT is actually faster than Java or C#. Hell, it's faster than raw C in certain cases because it can optimize better due to being a simpler language. Mike Pall is a god amongst man. I

I'm always slightly confused when languages target C instead of compiling themselves. Nim, for example. Is it really that much easier to deal with all the idiosyncrasies of C for a backend, and have to hope that the compiler will clean

It certainly didn't help that their phones aren't authorized to be sold for the US. That's probably a very big segment of the pro-Linux poweruser demographic...

Was there any discussion over implementing a hypercall interface for the userland and writing drivers in Rust that are rumpkernel-ready? Instead of writing yet another OS-specific network stack, be able to reuse the Rust drivers for BSD and

Same. I've heard some horror stories about programs failing to compile if you switch independent lines around or, even worst, remove some comments. Thought it would be one of those!

That's awesome! I tried signing up, but it's lagging out my browser a little bit and it doesn't look like any forums are up yet. I'll definitely keep an eye on this though. Did you post it to /r/ethereum yet? C
