I wonder if my first gen. Athlon 850 still runs, and if so what (other than itself) I could potentially cook with it.

Google search results still have -some- useful links. (I'm still having good results from amazon but I can understand 'entirely enshittified' as an opinion from people getting a similar thing there)

I've been hearing a lot of complaints of later that amazon has also become a complete crapshoot, primarily from .us based friends. I'm in .uk and have yet to have a problem (there was one sneakily labeled listing but the keyword t

Bear in mind that the Java design was only half done when it got shipped - I would love to see what both Java and JavaScript would have been if their creators had been given the time to actually finish their respective designs.

I'm not the target market for a video course -anyway- but it wouldn't surprise me if that price point results in "fewer sales than a lower price but similar revenue and a more pleasant discord due to student investment"

Can anybody recommend a from-scratch introduction that follows the contours of modern usage? I can certainly find introductions myself but I don't know enough to know which are sensible. (though 'read everything on MDN' is al

Lit's HTML rendering code is mostly just safety and caching so re-renders only run code and mutate DOM nodes they actually need to - I read through the whole thing to get a feel for what it was doing and you might want to do the same t

There's always https://neutralino.js.org/ which uses native WebView components to keep itself rather smaller than Electron.

Having been using gitea at work for a while as an "internal mini-github" (along with a github organisation for stuff that isn't purely internal or would otherwise benefit for that) I have to say it ... hasn't annoyed me

> I’m surprised they did that in a minor release and not a major one. I think allowing it on self. can be argued to be a pure feature -addition- rather than a -change- in which case it being in a minor release is reasonable. (I'm no

I'd apparently misguessed that the minilanguage was created for the book. Though if you'd care to share a link or something, I'm now curious how it -did- come to exist.

The ARM 2 chip in the early Archimedes machines was a 32-bit chip with 26-bit addressing so it got referred to as arm26 assembler (I'm not sure if that's technically -correct-, but I'm pretty sure it was in the title of the b

I rather like https://lit.dev/ for web components so far. For the reactivity stuff, you might want to read https://frontendmasters.com/blog/vanilla-javascript-reactivi... - it shows a bunch of no-libra

Having very much enjoyed LFN, I think your taste in where to simplify suits me, at least. I doubt I'll ever get around to it but I'm sort of tempted to see if I can remember enough arm26 assembler to try and get it to compile to t

I don't see that as a disadvantage because (a) if you're planning to write a compiler, 'new programming language' is probably not something you're troubled by, and (b) having a simple+clean 'toy' language

I suspect that the emphasis is an artifact when the Dragon Book was written - getting a decent parser was rather more of a challenge, and heavily optimising compilers a lot less common. Tis one of those things, I guess.

That looks like a case where "analyse the AST after constant folding" might be a theoretical path if you had a language frontend that could emit the AST at that point. I suspect that things like "these two functions both star

When it's launching a new tab in an existing browser it's rather less overhead, and also tends to be convenient in a way nothing I've dealt with other than Tcl/Tk is. (notably Tcl/Tk deals with remote X over ssh nic

All uses of cat are useful. Some are useful because they actually serve a purpose in the script. The rest are useful because trolling merlyn is hilarious.

Largely agree, with the addendum that it's a really good idea to collect metrics as to how much tolerance your code has been required to show. Whether you need to present those metrics to the sender and ask them to tweak their emission

Ah, I see what you meant now. Thanks for mentioning Samsara, I shall try and remember it exists later today when I'm more caffeinated.

You might find the Recycler algorithm interesting - nim's ORC collector is ARC + Recycler and seems to be working out rather well.

Is that based on the VList paper?
