The interview he did on Adam Savage's Tested channel was really interesting with regards to how he got started and how he works in general. https://youtu.be/7Bia-dNcBm4

Yes this is exactly ligature, I just became aware that it was possible to use wasm for them in HarfBuzz, if you want to see some wasm examples that is not possible with ligatures have a look at https://github.com/harfbuzz&#x

I used wasm because bad apple was the first thing I thought of when I saw the update that added wasm. I have thought about doing something where wasm fits better, but I have not gotten around to that yet.

I only had to enable it in hafbuzz as gimp uses dynamic linking. So I luckily did not have to build it as well

I ran FreeBSD on my nvidia laptop for around a year some time ago and the display drivers seems to work, as long as it was only as a display driver. It was an issue if you wanted vulkan, but that was recently added to the driver. Though if

This was more or less how I did it in my reversible rust project. Though I was only really interested in reversibility. https://github.com/Erk-/RRust

Programming languages for quantum computing needs to uphold some rules normal programs does not need to. The biggest is likely that no information may be destroyed when the program is run, from this follows that it needs to be reversible. T

Interesting that you used Apple as an example since they have fought with Apple Corp (Beatles owned company) over it for years https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Corps_v_Apple_Computer

Well the post you are commenting on is the original developer of both the game and SCUMM, so it is not really a decompilation. That said it would be cool to get a commented version of the original code if that exist. Also the tasvideos foru

The drn file format is described here https://drakon-editor.sourceforge.net/file_format.html The drakon widget by the same author uses a json based serialzation scheme as you can see here https://github.com/

A better source for the actual language would be this PDF file [0] or the Wikipedia page [1]. It is a kind of strict flowchart language that only allows you to do it in one way, which may be bad for some, but it helps how fast you can grok

Oh this is one of my favourite topics. This site is like many of the other DRAKON tools written by Stepan Mitkin and is released to the public domain on GitHub [0]. The tool I am most familiar with is the DRAKON editor [1] also created by M

There are things like Skytable which have the same usecases as Redis to my understanding, though it is not compatible with redis. https://github.com/skytable/skytable

Did a bit of digging and found that there used to be a comment for why it was done, but it got removed [0] when they switched to the implementation from Bentley & McIlroy's "engineering a sort function" [1] around 1992. [
