Sounds good to me, I was disappointed when I learned that wasm didn’t do this already. (It’d be nice to have tail call optimization too.)

When I last looked, it seemed like WASM blobs just take arrays of numbers and return arrays of numbers. No objects, strings, or DOM elements, so I think it'd be tough to do web dev in wasm as it stands. And you need javascript glue if

You can also determine that _some_ programs terminate. That is, there is a class of recursive programs that the compiler can look at and say "yes this terminates". Where it fails is that the programs that it says "no" to

It seems like it, which is a bit of a change in direction for them. I've poked at the data from the clojure side in the past (inspecting objects), just to learn how it works, but the license was strongly worded against reverse enginee

Yeah, I bailed around the time they switched to a gigantic electron app and increased the prices with no added functionality that I wanted.

I recall "Von dem Fischer un syner Fru" being particularly weird. But there may be be editions that are translated into modern German.

I'm not sure I understand, apps in the store are already sandboxed, which affords me some protection from them. I'd like the same protection from side-loaded apps. Perhaps relaxing the no-JIT restriction, though. I think I'd

I'm hoping the side-loaded apps are sandboxed. The facebooks of the world will cheat a bit harder to keep their apps running in the background, but at least I can control who gets access to files, contacts, and location. And even for

I haven't used it beyond just trying it out once or twice. But a "hello world" application in the Idris2 language compiles to a 17kb racket file (the default backend is chez, but it also does racket and javascript). If I run

We had one in makecode that I had to look into after my kid left for school. (He was pretty frustrated.) Turned out that it wasn't applying changes we made in the code and the window needed to be reloaded. My ten year old is doing bot

It's not ideal, but I've found that disconnecting the external monitor helps a little (My understanding is that the external monitor engages discrete gpu which heats up the wrong bits of the laptop). I usually only have issues wh

Because of Google, json-ld is very common on recipe web sites on the web. (Recipes for cooking.) It's typically found in a script tag and usually contains the full recipe, even if the page itself is paywalled. This can neatly solve the

Yeah, I'd like to know the story behind it. topotext is weird and unlike anything I've found in the literature. It is kind of like RGA, but with more links. And I haven't seen anyone else layer attributes on top of text. It

Yeah, on an iPad. He reads a variety of stuff, but he tells me it's been pokemon themed manga recently. We limit screen time, so he mostly reads print books, but he'll get an hour of bonus libby time in the mornings on school hol

My ten year old uses "Libby" a lot to borrow books from the local library - at one point they started rate limiting him. He also typically has a dozen physical books checked out at any given time.

One of my favorites is the self-hosting Haskell compiler from the 2019 IOCCC: https://www.ioccc.org/2019/lynn/hint.html There is a series of articles on how it was built here: https://crypto.stanford.ed

Also a potential security issue. Many client side virus scanners have accidentally introduced remotely exploitable security holes.

Nice work. A few years ago, I made something similar out of lumen[0] by tweaking the reader to support clojure style literals. I used hyperapp[1] as a lightweight library for react/elm style applications with a hiccup-like syntax. The

The javascript back end handles mutually recursive tail calls. It finds connected components and rewrites them to use a trampoline-like thing. There is a nice explanation of how it works at the top of the file: https://github.com

Sometimes you can pull the phone ones out of backups. You used to be able to mount an application's full directory tree, but Apple killed that API years ago.

Last I checked it was not encrypted (unless you explicitly asked it to encrypt a note). Just gzipped protobuf data. I wrote an extractor about six years ago, maybe it'll help: https://github.com/dunhamsteve/notes

The little schemer is $40 now, reasoned schemer is $30, and the little typer is $38 (about twice as thick as the other two). I had to think on the little schemer, but grabbed it because my ten year old said that the little typer was "i

Randomly ordering the files, without adding random content, would do the trick.

Other tidbits I recall from what my Dad told me years ago. He repaired VCRs for a while. The beta machines would phase shift the signal 180˚ every other frame when writing, and they use that for noise cancellation. VHS did four frames at 90

Yeah, doesn't look like it's available on M1 macs either, which I think think is just a checkbox in the app store.

I knew it was from the book, but I'd forgotten exactly what Magrathea was, so I started reading the article. Halfway through I got a kernel panic (macos 12.6.2 / intel).
