I mean, the Steam Linux Runtime alleviates this quite a bit for games at least; my desktop's somewhat exotic, but I haven't had any issues running Linux-native games through Steam. e.g. Chrome, Mathematica, and Zoom have all been

There's an interesting talk [0] from Bobby Powers on how to make a malloc() and free() that perform compaction, to be able to release memory back to the operating system more frequently (and improve cache hit rates, etc.). But this isn

Huh, he's talking a lot about how doing everything incrementally is infeasible; isn't this how Rust's compiler/tooling infrastructure works?

A list of many of these "bad things" can be found in BabyCobol [1, 2] -- it's a "toy model" of COBOL, specifically because COBOL has a lot of strange features that modern tooling doesn't/can't handle

A full half of the compilers course I took in undergrad was about {LA,S,}LR; I think "parsing is over-emphasized" is alive and well... That said, it didn't cover non-table-based parsing much. (On the other hand, I'm unaw

"Arbitrary recursion" is the correct claim; e.g. Coq allows recursion, but has restrictions so all programs terminate.

I kinda got it working, ish; I ran: innoextract --gog setup_cyberpunk_2077_build_3214677change_4155897_$64bit$_$43299$.exe --language en-US then added bin/x64/Cyberpunk2077.exe to Steam, then got it to start with Pro

Gentoo w/ nvidia driver; only driver problems in 2019-2020 I've had are "sometimes I need to wait to upgrade the kernel because the driver doesn't support it yet."

Do you mean emerge et al? I've been running Gentoo on my main machine for >1 year now, and I'm still having to check the manpage for flags constantly... I guess I wish that it was more explicitly "subcommandy."

Versus the other two, I'd say it's much less of a functional programming language; you have arrays, mutation, and powerful loop syntax (that expands to gotos!). My experience (writing CL at work and for personal projects) is that

Well, there's IRCv3... Problem with multi-device is you need some way of authenticating multiple TCP connections as the same logical user, at which point a lot of IRC's simplicity of implementation has been lost. Whether that&#x27

Relatedly, I've had a much better experience with Chromium than Firefox on my Pinebook -- I'm willing to bet this is because of Google's investment in Chromebooks.

Well, you'd also need to fix Python (, Go, Ruby, JS, ...) packaging and delivery too...

I've been trying to write a bunch of Forth, and I've gotta say stack comments (essentially type signatures, though typically not checked) are invaluable; that, and making definitions small enough that you can verify that they&#x27

Why can't they just give the IO bus a slower clock and devote the resources to the memory bus? Or, memory-map everything and make the IO area yet another reserved area the BIOS tells the OS about?

I think this is actually making a comeback for the server room; https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/networking/tls.html for example. I _think_ the point of these is hardware TLS accelerators.

I've gotten bit by the Generic one in real code before... I'm sure if I used Haskell for RESTful web stuff more, I'd eventually get bit by something similar for Aeson too.

What dependent types would protect you against would be the parser itself returning data. I think it'd be quite difficult to do this for the case of an email or URL, but for cases like "length values must be non-negative," a

Right, I think I'd put univalence in my list of "I want this for my dream general-purpose dependently-typed programming language" features; being able to prove properties on simple representations of data and transport those

Why does this contain an implementation of sha256 instead of using the standard library's crypto/sha256?

Have you looked at generating a specialized version of this stack machine for other types than JSON values? It'd be neat to have a version that works directly on data with Haskell's GHC.Generics, or a custom derive in Rust.

The Creator's update, I believe, broke Fallout: New Vegas for a while -- I think some deprecated strings that identify GPUs changed, so a fallback renderer that doesn't work anymore was chosen.
