Maybe some enterprise ones. I did a bit on search/chatting and this is a very different thing than a personal VPN. It's for securing actions on a network at a fine-grained level--instead of everyone inside is free to talk, policie

I remember a specific time when someone very knowledgeable on C++ described friend functions (I think it was) and how there was this thing that he was trying to do. After some thought I came up with some abuse of friend functions to do what

The whole time reading this I was thinking, there's more than one kind of game. Even in the space of single player games there are many kinds. Maybe they should try playing a different one. Or maybe Dwarf Fortress will have enough dept

I drank the Go kool-aid, then tried to do some high performance things the Go way: didn't work (channels are slow) and I got over it. Still think Go is great for web backends and the like with production grade stdlib. Great post with

Bullshit is the perfect term here, even as AI's get so much better and capable Brandolini's Law aka the "bullshit asymmetry principle" always applies--the energy required to refute misinformation is an order of magnitude

Cool. I really like the music and composition with graphics. I didn't hear of Revision demoparty before, the constraints are generous from what I found. Seems to be more about programming the art and not as much about impressive reso

I had the same thought as I'm working with LLMs. Then I reached the same conclusion as I did without LLMs: you can get most of the benefits without many of the drawbacks using well-bounded 'modules' within a monolith. The art

I would say don't buy one unless you are either (1) a researcher, or (2) plan to get multiple (up to 4) of them. One has 273 GB/s memory bandwidth and you'd be better off with a Mac M5 Pro/Max.

I haven't read this in detail but I expect it to be the same kind of sealed type that many other languages have. It doesn't cover ad-hoc unions (on the fly from existing types) that are possible in F# (and not many non-FP lang

There weren't that many people online, but because there were so few BBSes/lines it could be difficult to get connected. Once connected there wasn't all that much to do, send and check messages, look at mostly utility program
