I'm hesitant to use "fancy" cloud service/hosting providers for reasons like this. I don't understand why they won't just raise a 503 if the traffic exceeds the spend limit, or at the very least provide that as

I considered using the complex Fourier series for the epicycles, but also wanted the article to be self-contained and concise. I might add that in a rewrite of the article if more people feel this way.

Thank you for posting my blog here! I've improved my writing over time, so reading an older post makes it feel dated. I'll try to post more rigorous technical articles this year.

Polymorphic types are certainly useful, and I wish C had a better way to go about it, but this proposal feels like an odd patch to C's type system. Especially this part: ``` Using a run-time value of type _Type T in _Var(T) can be allo

This is so neat. Good work! I've tried Obsidian, Notion, Typora, and a myriad of other local editors only to come back to vim every time. My ideal text editor is one that has syntax highlighting, scratchpad, markdown support, block bas

The community around retro consoles based on the 6502 never ceases to amaze me. The Xa project looks very promising. For anyone interested, there is a transistor level simulator for the 6502 CPU called Visual6502: http://www.visu
