Am I wrong in thinking that the fact that there are so many starter kits (which all contain a _lot_ of boilerplate code) indicates some sort of fundamental problem in the ecosystem? With so much fragmentation in tooling and constant churn,

What would really take AR to the next level is something like Google glass, where you’re essentially always in AR. The only downside is that you’d have to wear extra glasses, which might not be ideal if you already wear prescription, and th

Not after that update in February, no. I’ve never seen a product lose such a large percent of its user base so fast, and it doesn’t seem to have recovered at all.

In terms of #3 (using WASM with non-JS languages), I feel like WASM is a no-go, at least for now. Until you can invoke things like DOM and XHR without having to bind to JS, I personally won't be using WebAssembly, as I don't have

Oh definitely, this was a fun one to write. I got so caught up in it that I completely forgot the original project I wanted to use it, which was a small VM.

Yep. It helps me a lot, because sometimes I switch between my Mac and Windows boxes. Especially in this case where I had to verify/release the build on two platforms. The only downside is that not everyone uses the same editor, so in p

Yes, haha. I was tired. There's a PR open to fix that, I'll merge it in.

I think you could achieve something like that with a macro. macro tlv_string s begin i32 (get CONSTANT_STRING_TAG_FOO) i32 (len s) str s u8 0 endmacro By the way, there's no `len` comman

That's true, I'll get around to patching t2b today or tomorrow to get in the fixes that everyone's suggested. This tool was hacked together quickly, and you can tell by using it that it's not close to perfect yet.

Well, for starts, Kaitai looks like it's much more mature, and it probably is, considering that t2b is just something I hacked together yesterday. Also, it seems like Kaitai is for parsing structures, whereas t2b is for emitting data.

Definitely, that's probably the best way, considering all the other commands are "stream-y" as-is.

by thosakwe 8y ago
Believe it or not, I didn't even consider that. That's definitely a better way to do it.

by thosakwe 8y ago
Thanks! Some sort of API would be pretty cool... I'll add that if this takes off. At the very least, the function to execute T2B scripts could be exposed in a simple header.

Yeah, not so sure I agree with this. I go to FSU, and trust me, at least 105% of the student population that I've met does some sort of drug. Not sure which students were surveyed here, haha.

It's still imperfect, but sentiment analysis and flagging known slurs might be a good start. You can roll-your-own, or use a third-party API (whatever the implications might be).

Voat is to Reddit, what Gab is to Twitter. That is to say, a site that prides itself on "free speech," but in reality makes itself the home of the same cesspool that produces the alt-right, incels, 4chan, and whatever hairdo Richa

A bit disappointing to hear, seeing as Auth0 is probably the biggest name in its niche. Hopefully they patch it up, because I'd rather use them than rolling my own username/password, or sending my users through Facebook/Googl

That's true - I'm working on porting bindings for Dart. ... Because I hate Python, haha. Anyways, for the most part, I have to suck it up and just use Python.

I sure hope we do. The only reason I even touch my account is because that's how to find out about college events.

PyPy isn’t compatible with several things I (try to) use, namely TensorFlow. That’s another thing on the list - I don’t like needing multiple versions of the interpreter installed.

Houseparty, another video chatting app that is picking up steam, uses WebRTC. WebRTC is P2P also, so I think that on a large scale it would be far less expensive, AND also afford way less laggy VoIP.

Yes, hate. It boils down to my personal preference, though, so take it with less than a grain of salt. The MAIN things that bother me: * Slowness * Enforced rules on whitespace * Incompatibility between 2.7 and 3.x * The fact that many tool

By tomorrow, this functionality will be removed, and only Instagram business accounts will be able to have links in their bio, for a fee. (I don't work for FB - this is just me being cynical.)

Machine learning/data science, definitely. I'm personally not a big fan of Python at all (actually I hate it), but one can't deny its overwhelming dominance in those spaces. I feel that it's only just starting to grow, a

To add to this, competition with the already wealthy is hard enough as-is, but when large, well-known companies have FREE offshoots in your domain, it’s almost impossible for a company to survive. Can Snapchat compete with Facebook/Ins

It might be time to try Haxe. I’ve always wondered why it doesn’t get a lot of buzz around it. It seems like a genuinely good way to achieve “write once, run anywhere.” It’s always interesting how the chicken-and-egg problem applies to prog

I wouldn't say Dart is a failure at all. That being said, the Dart project has long abandoned the goal of replacing JavaScript in the browser, and instead provides a VM, Flutter, and a to-JS compiler. Many people do not know this, and
