Thank you for sharing this :)

Is computed goto used for anything other than interpreter loops? Because if not, I would rather have a special "it looks like you're trying to implement an interpreter loop" case in the compiler than add new syntax.

I've been working on a tool for identifying samples in sample-based music, specifically vaporwave. I spent a long time building a cool TUI for it, but I realized many people aren't comfortable with TUIs, so just yesterday I finish

These days, most of the photos I take are with disposable cameras that I buy whenever I go on a trip. Despite the name, the high cost of the camera makes each shot more precious, and I much prefer the low-fi film grain style to whatever bla

One of the most important qualities of Go is that it is actually possible to fully understand the language -- in the sense that you never see a snippet of Go code and think "wtf, you can do that?" or "hang on, why does th

Ha, you're right, I even have benchmarks in the README showing 0 allocs/op. Nice. (Sorry for doubting you, past-self!) In the past I've implemented a form of the write-buffering you describe -- it was not fun. But it was a lo

Hey, it's my Adiantum package! How's the performance? Revisiting the API now, I see that Encrypt and Decrypt return newly-allocated slices, which is unfortunate. Should I add Append variants that don't force an allocation?

Sophia and I were classmates at RPI. She was brilliant and funny and she carried herself with a refined lightness and dignity that is rarely seen these days, like gravity didn't pull on her as hard as the rest of us. I am crushed to he

Over the course of 13 years, I wrote 365 Future Emails to my 2020 self, one for each day of the year. It was pretty interesting to see myself "age" in fast-forward like that. The first handful of letters were pretty lame -- very s

Ah, that makes sense. Still, you could use a single nonce per directory, plus an index per file. As for brittleness -- some degree is unavoidable, since if you want to provide an inclusion proof for a file, you need to provide the (unchange

Some quick feedback: It's a bit jarring that, when you run the command twice in the same directory, you get a different root hash. IIUC, this nondeterminism comes from two sources: 1) each file is hashed with a random nonce, so as to d

I'll contribute another solution, used in the Go compiler: build a big map from AST node -> typeinfo. This approach is very flexible (e.g. you can add more maps later without changing the AST struct), but, like Nullable, it's n

I hadn't even considered that, but I think you may be right! There's been some energetic discussion of iterators on the Go issue tracker lately.

In the same vein, I highly, highly recommend playing Return of the Obra Dinn. Slowly piecing together the fates of all the people on the ship is deeply satisfying, sorta like a sudoku puzzle.
