Naiive question.. If the opcodes are the same, how can you go from a stack machine to a register one?
272.
by geokon 2y ago
I remember learning in school that it's a relatively simple stack machine, but when I look at the instruction set online it's actually ~200 opcodes.. Not what I'd describe as "simple, straightforward"

First time seeing a low profile keyboard on par with a magic keyboard. Actually would fit in a bag :) Usually "low profile" is used generously in mechanical keyboard land

Yeah, sorry.. i didn't mean to endorse MediaWiki. It did look kinda ugly as well.. haha What do you recommend? It does actually seem that djot has a grammar of sorts.. https://github.com/treeman/tree-sitter-djot&#x

b/c I think people start from the syntax and then think about how to parse it later? A simple grammar probably really limits how you can design your syntax. Here is an example of the problems: https://roopc.net/posts&#x

It feels like a long term solution would be to use a markdown that is both easy to write (not RTF or XHTML), but has a defined grammar in some standard format (ex: EBNF). Most platform/languages will have a parser and so you can whip u

> But TCP port 22 is a completely different thing than UDP port 22 OH woah woah. Okay that's the root of my confusion then. Nevermind. I thought the OS network stack exposes ports and packets come on to ports Nevermind then :)

This is outside my area of expertise.. so naiive question.. but ports aren't tied to the protocol .. right? If you open a raw socket, it's still on some associated port number. NAT traversal multiplexes ports.. so why would that p

Well you're typically not thinking of a compilation step with Clojure.. so I found the original question a bit not-applicable The goal isn't to introduce .. a compilation step? but to have the program blow up in the spot where the

why not just program to protocols? For complex data structures I typically just hide details behind a protocol and deal with the set of interface functions. You can then freely mess with the internals and not worry about details

Yeah this kind of kindergarten explanation I've seen.. This is making a bunch of simplification that aren't helpful With a phased array you're beam forming and sweeping an area of space. Your signal returns are from the beam

This is actually the first time I've seen the SAR algorithm explained. Every SAR project I've seen glosses over this part. Wonder if anyone else has seen more resources on this? Going to try to digest the linked paper.. https:&#x

Yeah, keeping it within a subculture has its benefits. I don't mean to be overly judgmental or saying how things should be. I just wouldn't have guessed thing would have gone this way. I'd argue that the early Google was a bi

I mean there is still the FSF and there are plenty of interesting projects working in the decentralizing space. My point it's just really moved to the periphery and is a subculture (and tied to crypto, which has a lot of shady things a

Out of curiosity, why is malloc 75kb ? That seems like an crazy amount of code (if this after linking and dead code removal for platform specific magic?)

I once asked a professor about this and the answer I got was interesting. Basically Java and OO and Design Patterns are taught upfront because it turned out this was a huge stumbling block for a lot of people. Bigger than for instance C and

very naiive question... But why have a retail price at all and not just auction off batches to retailers (say 10 000 card at a time) Let the market set the price and only control how many cards you auction and when

Thanks for the info! I will take a look at Lutris/Bottles. I just assumed Wine would work directly. It's worked for me most of the time in the past

The only person tackling the verifiable hardware side of things seems to be Bunnie Huang with his work on the Precursor If you're going to be militant and absolutist about things, that seems like the best place to start And then probab

I mean it's maybe "seamless" if you use a system provided by the top DRM platform. Using wine directly it's unfortunately not very seamless. I don't really play games much but my recent experience hasn't been g

I haven't written Java in a million years.. so I'm trying to understand better. But what does this code even mean..? Isn't Java's whole simplifying model that everything lives in "Objects"? This seems to break

just a guess, but I've noticed that most app development has concentrated around crossplatform frameworks/languages. If you're writing in JS or Dart or whatever you're not typically going to write a high performance app

I often write threaded math but it unfortunately it doesn't compose cleanly with division :) (subtraction can be transformed into an addition without too much extra) If you do thread-last and then need to divide by some value, you will

I think this is just not realistic. "Pretty pictures" are actually more important even in science. The vast majority of the time you're not using pixel values or exact color characteristics in a scientific sense. You just wan
