You may find Zig interesting: https://ziglang.org . The language is not C compatible but the tooling can compile C and C++ without hassle.

Slightly off topic: One day in the late 90s or early 2000s, I wanted to transfer the contents of my Atari 8-bit disks to my PC. I did know about SIO2PC, a cable that converts between Atari's SIO port and the PC's serial port and a

If you're curious about the pronunciation of Purkinje like me: In Czech, [purkɪɲɛ] (spelled Purkyně); in English, per-kin-jee [/pɝkɪnd͡ʒiː/]. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23MFfOsTDIs

Pascal also uses the same operators for bitwise and logical and and or and they’re simply and and or.

Author here. Missed this but thanks for sharing! Important clarification though: Hattip is _not_ Express compatible nor it aims to be. It uses the completely different and incompatible fetch API instead of the node:http API.

I thought the concept of "linear types" as defined here was simply another name for "uniqueness types"[1]. But the Wikipedia article claims there's a difference. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2

Rust is much more akin to C++ than C in terms of complexity. It's early but Zig[1] might fit the bill. [1] https://ziglang.org/

I quit smoking six years ago but before that I used the lit cigarette tip trick for decades. It worked very well for me.

I live in Lisbon and I don't see how "downtown Lisbon started to look pretty badly recently". Street drug users, seemingly mostly/wholly homeless, seem to be concentrated in an area I wouldn't call downtown. I don&#

Before I knew anything about sorting algorithms, I invented my own algorithm to sort the high score list in my little BASIC game. It was very simple: Find the highest score, swap it to the top and continue, this time starting with the secon

I wouldn't want to disallow translation, but in this case it was unnecessary anyway.

From English to Turkish but Google won't just leave the parts that are already in Turkish alone and subtly reword them instead for some reason.

The weirdest one I saw was this: User claims that the wording of the info they enter into a certain form changes when they save. At first I suspected someone else editing the same form at the same time unbeknownst to each other but it was

I think it's very different: "use strict" is strictly local (function or script scoped), "use utf-8" would require the entire JavaScript context to cooperate. It means you can't safely use a library that expect

On the next iteration, we're planning on providing a `createServerQuery` function which will _not_ capture the closure and return a function that can take an arbitrary number of arguments to be serialized. `createServerQuery` will have

Kılıçdaroğlu is not a socialist by any stretch of imagination, let alone a hard-core one. He’s center-left at best. Besides, the coalition includes right wing conservatives, right wing nationalists, and liberals.

This is probably where I heard it (I was a member): https://cc65.github.io/mailarchive/2003-03/2815.html So it was before the other ports and in all likelihood it was never an official record anyway.

At some point I heard Atari 800 (released in 1979) was the oldest machine ever to connect to the Internet, thanks to Contiki. But a quick google now suggests older DEC machines from mid 70s. Still impressive though.

I'm a 10x developer for a few weeks a year and a 0.1x developer for the rest. It averages out to about 2/3 of a developer which ends up being good enough for my job.
