Is there a valid source for this number? All the articles I see seem to quote each other.

I question the methodology. To measure this I would have N processes reading the file from disk with the max number of parallel heads (typically 16 I think). These would go straight into memory. It's possible you could do this with one

Cool stuff, thanks.

Me too! I started http://civboot.org and have been working on it's language fngi. It's been a blast so far!

The intro is so full of hyperbole I couldn't make it past. Which arguments were recycled?

Building up complexity is not so bad if you have the mindset that lets you have a fresh start, learning from all your mistakes and accomplishments. That's why I started http://civboot.org . I want to take the best parts (tho

Does the bot use every possible permutation of "Clyde"? It must be every Clyde that can ever exist?

Okay let me get this straight... Are you saying that I don't need to use parenthesis as much in lisp? Instead I could define a few "reader macros" and then immediately have a different syntax? Say if I wanted to change

Forth is even more "down to the metal" than lisp, but yes I agree it is quite impressive.

It seems like it's trying to simplify the tech stack, so I thought it might be something the author was interested in.

Really cool stuff. It still uses GCC, which itself is several million lines of code. I wonder if they have a desire to port to something like QBE (~12k line backend) and cproc (~8k C frontend for QBE).

He used to be able to code. He created zip2 (predecessor to MapQuest) practically by himself apparently.

Now imagine the "Real Economy" bubble moved from fiat to crypto. Imagine how rich you'd be! You're a trillionare because you invested your $7,000 you earned at McDonald's while you were a teenager in Bitcoin. The fu

It's ML syntax. I'm also not used to it, but many who are consider it beautiful.

Even less syntax than lisp! Inspired by forth.

These are the stats I was looking for, very impressive indeed.

"Syntax is the easiest part of being a software engineer." This is probably the best quip I've heard all week. I'm developing a language with "no syntax", every token is executed immediately, making it trivial

This is why I only squat and deadlift (each only once/week), then do pushups, pullups and situps. More of my time is spent running at the gym than any kind of lifting. I just want broad-range exercises that improve my health, I don&#x2

So the answer is "use bazel" or "use Nixpkg" since then every input is not only known by the build system, but is hashed in the dependency tree?

I would say most theories are overly simplistic for classifying humans. However here are a few I've found helpful. 1. Your feelings typically say more about yourself than about another person. Use them for self reflection. 2. Feeling w

You have it backwards, it's the only language the CIA truly doesn't want you to program in.

So anything except Holy C?

by vitiral 4y ago
Most probably yes. If it was an actual viable fix you can be almost guaranteed that it would have been implemented long ago. Engineers would love to have their cake and eat it too.

Braid is a game about time travel. This is not like Braid at all, since the game works by "overwriting" your past actions (with a few other mechanics). The Braid editor would be like "Normal" undo except a ghost cursor c

This is still an acyclic node graph, it's just implemented as a tree.

Of course emacs implements it as just a long linked list.

Bitcoin supports a few transactions per second globally. Please explain how everything would be done on chain?

It calls .dismiss() expecting the PUK screen but it's a different object instead. This is the kind of thing that OOP rely on.
