If you’re using any Unix at all, then ed really will always be there, no matter how old or limited the system. So as it turns out, my Arch Linux setup does not actually have ed.

I've done some work on the read_token function. The implementation on the site has some problems. * The string conversion to chstr is unnecessary. Rune comparisons can be done simple with `ch == '('`. * The 128 byte buffer will cause a pani

The extreme drive for realism in game graphics have always put me off. My brain just doesn't work well with them it seems. There is this uncanny valley thing where the scenery becomes so realistic that the very small incorrect details reall

I understand where the OP is coming from, but I will go one step further. If you are teaching programming to someone who has never written a line of code, you need to do away with the programming language all together. When you start out, y

I've always had a great deal of admiration for these kind of works. They elevate programming to an art form.

TL;DR: Golan Levin designed printable pieces which can be used to connect previously incompatible toy types together (LEGO, Playmobil, DUPLO, etc). As a consequence, this raised a myriad of copyright infringement questions for the future of

I strongly recommend you to read the course book "The Elements of Computing Systems" [1]. This explains the whole principle in very plain English. It has an extremely intuitive and easy to follow logic and set of exercises you can do. It ha

This reminds me of Elian Script[1]. It is not particularly optimized for reading but it is extremely easy to learn and become proficient in. The usual habit to develop ones own handwriting style when using this, makes it something rather u

Good question. And one I can't easily answer to be honest. In most respects I suppose this is very much a subjective matter. For me it's the language's simplicity. There are no hidden surprises in the spec. It's short, clean and easy to mem

I've been using Go for 2 years now. It's been a lot of fun. It certainly brought fun back into programming for me. Very happy to see the 1.0 release hitting the public. Congratulations to the Go team and contributors for a job very well don
