IIRC COM relies on vftables being ABI stable so you can pass interface pointers. As long as the interfaces don't pass any non-primitives by value. It is how I often provide APIs that need to work across (many) compiler boundaries. It i

How $lang maps to assembly is half the picture: how assembly maps to CPU is the other half. We shouldn't blame ignorance of the latter on a tool for exploring the former. I do totally get how some people learn just enough to be annoyin

The relationship between pitch and frequency is not simple. The physical frequency for a pitch can be derived in several ways. One example is the Pythagorean system where the interval of fifth is set as a frequency ratio of 3/2. This s

"Pidän koiraa" - I am holding (or keeping) a dog (for now). The case roughly translates to: some (of). "Pidän koiran" - I will keep the dog (for good). "Pitää" is one of these ancient words that means many thi

Regarding B, I had the pleasure of meeting a handful of San [1] elders to record some of their songs. I learned that some of them walked ~10km to meet with the rest of us and did not think much of it. In general their lifestyle is probably

Indeed. A pull request is indeed a ... request to pull changes! One fetch/apply later you can use your local merge tools to evaluate. I guess the various hubs, labs and buckets make it slightly harder to run malicious code on your own

One of my favourites is treap [1], which doubles as a great excuse to forget how to balance binary trees. It is similarly "probably efficient" as HAMT, mentioned in other comments; both require a well-behaving distribution in the

Since it is from the constructionist tradition, I believe it is intended as a "microworld" [1] so being powerful and general purpose is an anti-goal. It is optimized for trial-and-error exploration, which works best when the funct

that a present-day Von Neumann is probably somewhere working on ad/fintech is in many ways even more depressing.

I'm the guy people at $work call to do git submodule reorganization, troubleshoot lfs or recover disasters. I'm certainly comfortable with git. It gets the job done. The same can be said of svn. However my own projects always star

Seems to me that you are describing something that should be a relational database, and where object orientation doesn't seem to bring anything of value.

Their style guide [1] is one of my references when trying to improve my own writing. While my professional writing has been mostly academic, I find the progression is similar to tech writing. First you learn to show your erudition and comma

And gotos are made of jump instructions which are made of NAND gates, transistors and silicon. Good abstraction is all about hiding the details that are not essential to the problem at hand.

Transpiler is a pretty old word too. My understanding is that it's a compiler whose output is human readable. Readability is more about whether it is an explicit goal: all compiler output is readable by some humans. I don't think

I think Clojure on Go (Gojure)? Would probably do nearly as well as the JVM hosted version if done well.

Yes. Dynamic types, mutability and complex OOP types are the toxic mix. It is very hard to make large programs simple, but lisps are some of the best PLs for that, especially if you stick with immutable data.

You are not wrong - there is no web UI for pull requests or merge checks. However the features it does have are simple and thus easily interoperable and composable. There's no push to adopt ever more interlocked services or upsell prem

I guess I should have known better but I was surprised to learn that Drew would be on the receiving end of that stuff. The vibe I got from sourcehut is that it's built by peers for peers, they are remarkably open about everything. The

The charitable interpretation is they mean the code runs without a VM, and interfaces with OS syscalls instead of an inner platform like node, java, .net...

Some amount of external pressure may help you try something that's slightly difficult and not the most obvious instant gratification available. The main thing is to not chase some dumb good-parenting metric but to give your kid suitabl
