If your compiler is optimizing for speed, you can you write the program in a way so that the compiler can unroll the loop and hopefully make it branchless as well

What is left to do with the Technical Interview? I have yet to see anything more horrifyingly beautiful (or, beautifully horrifying) like this: μkanren in lisp in prolog ?!! https://gist.github.com/aphyr/4d41e7655b10a68

Is it possible to make a cryptocurrency that does "real" work as its proof-of-work: work which is computationally intensive, but it solves some real life problems instead of "wasting" the energy?

Oh! Let us not forget that Make is basically just a Prolog with (not so) weird syntax. You just need to learn a little bit of logic programming. After that we have our stat(2) :-)

Huh, go figure the following: const a = 'this is not a ' + typeof + 'number'; Or JSFuck[1] in that matter. [1]: http://jsfuck.com

He has his own emacs clone named QEmacs[1] which I think he uses personally. He uses Subversion as his version control system (at least in developing QuickJS) according to this post[2] by him in quickjs-devel mailing list. [1]: https:&#x2F

bellard is a programming genius and true C hacker. his works are so great but how humble is his website! why doesn't he write blog posts? why he has so little online presence? hmm. let us wish him a long and productive life.

I don't know if it is good or bad, but, think about the following metric: the number of lines written but eventually deleted divided by the number of lines of code retained.[1] [2] [1]: http://journal.stuffwithstuff.com&#x2F

Different people learn differently. Something that is obvious to you might not be obvious to someone else. The author learnt in that way and shared that, which is a good thing. Sometimes, Haskell seems to be more mathematics than programmin

I know this is weird, but maybe have a look into Fossil ( https://fossil-scm.org/ ). Not exactly a static site, but the whole repository (all posts, comments, etc.) is a single SQLite database file. And, fossil is a single

Currently AI can Learn, can Create, but can not Think (if I am not wrong). Let us think what They might Think when they can.

i don't know, but, why not, say, BASIC? (most programmers being able to understand) or, Smalltalk, (little syntax, that ''fits inside a postcard'') or a lisp?
