It's possible to write regular Haskell with semicolons and curly braces. White-space sensitivity is just a syntax sugar for that [1]. > easier to refactor and automatically indent/format code. What are the advantages of white-s

Yes, that's where AT&T is more logical. In practice, though, naming a symbol with a register name is error-prone and confusing. I'd rather have a way to escape a symbol when it's really needed than to pay the price of noi

I subjectively like AT&T syntax more (as a more familiar to me and having more "machine" vibe). However, I recognize that it's objectively worse for a human coder and contains some syntactic footguns which shoot even a ex

Embedded/systems programming is not possible without dropping to assembly at times. Also, it can unlock some hardware-specific performance optimizations. Rust already has unsafe blocks (explicitly marked `unsafe`) for this kind of situ

c4 is meant to be self-hosted and it does not implement a preprocessor. It was easier to re-use printf creatively.

It depends. Gnome only allows integer scaling by default (1x, 2x) and fractional scaling is hidden behind an experimental flag in the Gnome registry. If you only need 2x, it's a perfect solution. KDE readily exposes fractional scaling

I use KDE with x1.3 scaling and it mostly works, but e.g. VirtualBox is unusable with scaling, pdf fonts in Okular look torn, some pixel maps scale poorly giving artefacts. Still, I don't have better options: 13" FullHD doesn&#x27

In Ukraine, we sometimes have these discussions about moving to a Latin-based alphabet. Some even try to come up with their version of it. It always winds up either as something ugly with a lot of diacritics (like Polish/Hungarian) or

Hopefully, it would increase pressure to actually port it there or to use another compiler like mrustc[0] [0] https://github.com/thepowersgang/mrustc

I hope this will not combine safety of Bash with clarity of natural language through reliability of machine learning.

Haskell has a similar indentation system, it fits the language very well.

It's indeed dense and packed with many intermediate intuitions. On the other hand, I still feel that the course is often unnecessarily brutal and could use better explanations.

The second part is awesome too. The first part shows how to design an unoptimized and simplistic, but complete and working 16-bit CPU and RAM from logic gates. The second part builds a whole software stack on top of it using a virtual stack

The problem with that approach in Go is that BEAM embraces the shared-nothing approach, and the Go runtime is quite promiscuous about sharing mutable data. I am afraid that introducing non-deterministic preemptive stops will just make Go co

Thanks for the analysis! On a side note: might it be the case that the Go codebases you've worked with are just newer/smaller than the Python ones? Do you work with Go systems that feel as much legacy as you've encountered wi
