I haven't seen it implemented anywhere, but that sounds like the "pagetable displacement" approach described here: https://wiki.osdev.org/IPC_Data_Copying_methods#Pagetable_di... The same idea occurred to me

fwiw, I normally think of LMDB when the idea of using the fs instead of a db crosses my mind

If I was to tackle a simplified view of the problem I think you're describing: your frontend devs should provide the markup template the backend would interpolate and return In the scenario you've alluded to, your backend devs are

I think this htmx essay [1] addresses the tradeoffs you may be getting at if you're thinking "why html vs js+json": the gist is that html is self-describing to the browser, so the backend can make changes to the html it produ

If I understand correctly, the main selling point of htmx is that _html_ is extended with the attributes from GP: the idea being that a bulk of the interactivity of SPAs can be achieved via hypertext alone I think a more precise reading of

I can understand the failure to build a critical mass of contributors, but can you share some examples of where your work was duplicated instead of built upon? I’ve read through some of your async work in the past and from an initial glance

If you found this interesting and want more, then I think this is a good follow up to read next [1]. It takes a similar approach to introducing the code-as-data idea, but uses xml instead of json as an introductory structure. [1] http:&#x2

I think the kind of licensing you’re referring to is usually called permissive licensing [1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permissive_software_license

Can you share more info about the parentheses being a hazing test? I’ve seen Dylan syntax [1], but is there something else that shows the parentheses to be unnecessary in 2020? [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dylan_(p

Yes, the kernel does remove unmaintained/unused code according to GKH at 30:30 in this interview [1]. [1] https://youtube.com/watch?t=1830&v=t9MjGziRw-c

I think you can draw this ‘core of an environment’ parallel between Forth and Scheme: both are small languages and they emphasize growing the language to the problem domain [1]. Common Lisp, on the other hand, is a large language: implement

If you’re interested in Common Lisp, Practical Common Lisp is a good overview of the language [1]. Since you’ve done game programming, here’s a simple snake game I wrote a while back; you might find it useful to peruse the code [2]. You can

I just finished reading the OSTEP book[1] and it has a nice chapter on SSDs[2]. The entire last portion of the book is about filesystems/disks so you might find it interesting. [1] http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/O

I would recommend contributing code to a well known FOSS project, or at least an existing project that you use or respect. I think hacking on meaningful projects will be clear milestones for yourself, which seems to be what you’re looking f

I haven’t used this myself, but Reason seems to fit your description of ‘learning any language’ while having static typing: https://reasonml.github.io I’m more of a lisper, but OCaml should be a fun learning experience, especial

That’s an interesting opinion I’ve never heard before: suicide as an inalienable right. For clarity, you’re not referring to euthanasia by any chance, are you? If not, can you elaborate on why suicide is or should be an inalienable right? F

It sounds like we might work together; the only difference is that I do most of my dev work on my MBP so I consider it an expensive Linux machine instead of a chromebook :)

Yes, please do: what did being “the radio guy” entail? Was it more software or hardware? I write software for a living so that’s what I’m more interested in; don’t know about parent comment, though.

GP seems like it’s venting or speculating rather than trying to make a point; the post starts off with “I’m going to provide no justification.”

You know, I’ve found myself doing the same thing: I usually have a git versioned ‘notes.org’ file in whatever repo I’m working in, and I’ll rebase it away before opening the branch for peer review. I also don’t feel the need to do this with

Your original comment doesn’t make that very clear at all; you might want to clarify who “they” are in your comment.
