I know and interact with a handful of Haskell devs, some of whom even work with it full time. Some of the ideas behind Haskell intrigue me, but I'm a complete idiot. Now everyone is going to say that you don't need to understand t

The Free Pascal compiler ships ships with a Turbo* like IDE. I haven't really used it much though.

My sleep got royal screwed during the summer and I'm trying to get back to at least some sort of stable baseline. Probably a few months ago I managed to get myself on a biphasic sleep schedule. It probably would have worked if I had mo

I've tried to deep dive the modern PC a few times before and I always end up giving up because it quickly becomes a proprietary and undocumented minefield.

Somewhat unrelated, but on the topic of severance: Back before I broke into the software field, when I was working a retail job, I was working for company that had an unwritten policy that they didn't hire any fulltime employees, all

I actually almost like WPF and would still consider it if I had to do any an Windows-only desktop apps, but one of the few things that drove me away from it was the method of styling components. It made me almost like CSS.

I knew a few people who were really into Dart before flutter, back when you could use Dartium to run Dart code in a browser (for testing and development only) without transpiling. I dont know if was ever based in much reality, but a few of

For a brief amount of time I thought Dart would eventually push through in the web. It was interesting to see it's resurgence in the domain of mobile recently though. On the other hand I didn't exapct Go to go anywhere. I remember

Can someone describe to me what is good about OCaml? Unfortunately I think I've only eve heard complaints about it, many being mentioned here (multicore support, bad tooling, things like utf support you'd expect to be built in,

I find it mostly fine as long as you avoid political threads or threads with "Rust" in the title that have many comments. I outright just hide the former now. Moderation does good at removing outright trolls, but there is a partic

Are any of the commercial Smalltalk implementations worth using anymore? They kinda of strike me as a relic of a past time and I don't understand how some of them are still in business. The Cincom people run "Smalltalk job board&

Could it perhaps be even faster just to build the entire stack in hardware perhaps with an FPGA accelerator or even a custom card? I know TOE[1] is a thing, but from what I read Linux doesn't really support it. [1] https://en

I've tried my hand at hardware hacking a few times only to hit dead ends. Most recently I wanted to dive into a minor security vulnerability and some other oddities I found in the web interface of a cable modem by trying to get OS acce

I'm curious too. I'm very ignorant on programmable logic in general, but I have some hardware with both a large FPGA as well as what I believe is a CPLD powering part of an embedded network interface controller I'm trying to

This is what I've read as well. I have been unable, however to find much information on how bad it is comparatively. Is it much worse than having a couple beers everyday?
