This looks real cool, and the logic behind treating OpenSCAD files this way in a 3d printing workflow is impeccable. I stumbled at first because all my scad files use language features not supported in hob3l. It might help to call more att

Uh oh, Intel's 2019 chip is beating AMD's 2017 chip by just 1.3x on the second best benchmark they could cherry-pick? And AMD is due to announce new Epyc SKUs tomorrow?

I enjoyed the discussion of how to accelerate computation of 'a×b' using just a single lookup table of 'x^2/4'. So far beyond what I could understand when the Commodore 64 was current technology [i.e., my teens], a

Make sure your distro provides security updates for git. For instance, CVE-2018-17456 (another RCE via submodules bug) was recently disclosed and patched in Debian Jessie (oldstable), even though jessie has git 2.1.x which may not be getti

I looked into this a bit and zeroed in on the implementation of sine/cosine computation, which is pretty critical for turtle graphics. I didn't follow every last instruction, but it looks like it used a 91 (or maybe 92)-element LU

So can someone help me untangle how this relates to possible Zstandard patents? Back some time ago, when all public facebook git repositories had a patent "grant" document, there was some angst about what exactly this meant: http

I love this kind of thing. I've had a minor bite from the time bug, but I haven't bought anything more exotic than a VC-TCXO and a couple of GPS receivers to treat it.
