SAL annotations in MSVC do this, don’t they? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/code-quality/understan... And I’m pretty sure I’ve seen similar stuff for clang.

The problem they describe is not about sorting: it’s about data locality. And for the latter, clock skew should not be a problem. Even with significant clock skew, data will end up clustered anyway, much better than with a random spread.

I tried to set up a Raspberry Pi and configured it to boot into a simple window manager with DosBox full screen by default. I taught my kids to launch games within that and they learned the very basics… but it didn’t stick: they haven’t rea

I like the article. Reminds me of when I started working on EndBASIC. People, especially close friends, would joke about it and ask why I wasted time on such a project. I didn’t have to justify myself but I found it useful to spell out some

Perhaps. Or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rump_kernel also comes to mind.

Many, really. QuickBASIC is very complete. You can easily install it in DosBOX to take a look, or download QB64 ( https://qb64.com/ ) for a similar but more modern experience. Some specifics that are in my mind as "must

Oh yes, thanks. Bad copy/paste late at night.

Indeed, but the iconic version of this is slightly different (and it should work too). I kinda enjoyed reading the https://10print.org/ book last year and... https://twitter.com/jmmv/status/1595431

I haven't used FreeBASIC, but from the looks of it, it's a much more complete language. EndBASIC, OTOH, is much newer and limited as a language right now. The main difference is that EndBASIC offers you an _environment_, not just

Ideally I'd like to do a baremetal build... but... that's a ton of effort. In particular because of the cloud storage features, which would require network drivers, TCP/IP, and the like. So the easiest plan of attack is to bu

Hey, author of EndBASIC here. Surprised to see this bubble up to the front page again :D Previous discussion from June 2022 in: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37495166 I did significant work on the project back then u

FreeBSD is missing! I know, I could send a PR.

Links to other posts, yes. The build just breaks if you link to a previous post that’s outside of the “limit posts” horizon.
236.
by jmmv 3y ago
No because if I remember correctly, setting a limit on posts would break the build due to unresolved post cross-references.

I have a blog with hundreds of posts. Jekyll would take multiple seconds to process any change (maybe even minutes for the initial build, cannot remember), so iterating over the final touches of a post was really painful. Hugo builds my who

Hm, does it? I’ve been tempted to install Linux but I’ve found conflicting information online about how well it’s supported, and the small SSD doesn’t lend itself for dual booting.

That’s why I like my Surface Go 2: it lets me carry a real OS in a tiny tablet form factor. I take it everywhere and it has been my only travel laptop for a couple of years. I have even done local Rust development while on flights. If only

Yes, of course, the MMU also does that. But I'm not sure what that has to do with Unix systems requiring an MMU _by definition_ as the post I was replying to claimed. Obviously running a Unix-like system without an MMU will lack certai
