There are degrees to "assembly". There's .s source files. There is inline assembly with varying degrees of compiler plumbing/spilling/automation. There are intrinsics where you delegate register allocation to the co

Reading the emails is not enough: they would need to send some secret to the email associated with the account to link the power to exhange keys to ownership of the account. Just reading a legit-sounding email and relying on from-address is

I have migraine once or twice a year, and the most recent attack indeed interrupted my reading, quite simply did not see the letters through the zigzag. As it gradually covered the focal point of my vision I was trying to "squint"

Simple implementation of RC with multithreading implies a lot of atomic counter updates which clog a multicore cpu fast. Therefore you apply techniques like Apple's ARC, or deferred-coalesced counter mutation. Add cycle leak detectors

Strictly speaking all x86 MOVs would have to decompile to some level of atomic load/stores, because of the ordering guarantees on x86. That's an example of "lost in translation" as we don't know if the original sour

Some architectural/program assumptions may not be encoded in assembly or preserved in the asm -> C -> asm roundtrip, especially if the assemblers are for different architectures. The obvious example is pointer word size and memor

I've seen a handful of cases where a small software house with very limited name recognition that provides some genuine value to customers gets a big bump from advertising targeted to "lookalike audiences" on facebook. Some o

This is purely my speculation, but I think it is OOP and dynamic types that is the toxic mix. Lisp codebases tend not do it as much (CLOS notwithstanding). Data tends to be flatter and simpler. Data shape is in theory just as hard to refact

If you pin apps to Windows task bar, you can cycle through the windows of the third one with Winkey-3 and so on. Currently daily drive a mac for work, but the above is my preferred way to switch windows on Windows.

I live in a suburb in northern Europe. Mix of modest and not-so-modest townhouses. I sometimes choose to go to the second-nearest grocery store 900m away because I want to walk more than the 300m to the nearest one.

Sure, but there are many kinds of interpreters! I was involved with one that wasn't really demanding in terms of computation, but was distributed in a way that required a lot of speculation and rollbacks. The functional approach was pr

Not sure there's any benefit in using the state monad for an interpreter. My first thought is to model a cycle of the interpreter as a function of old state into new state. I guess the state monad could be used to thread the state data

Yes, and also not a data structure that is suitable for the task. If you want to keep every version of the buffer as a value (which has nice properties like versioning) you would need a data structure that shares most of its structure with

Yes - after writing C++ for 30 years I know how to make my life easy with it. If I never touch the wonky and unsafe bits it just works. But man, after trying to watch after a C++ project with other kinds of programmers on it I kind of wis

Nah, seems like a content marketing piece, and frankly one of the better ones I've read recently.

What is free will but an experience? I think it is completely plausible that organisms that exist in a fully deterministic physical reality still have the experience of free will. Or vice versa for that matter. Why do "I" have thi

The largest-scale usage of D that I have personally seen is a AAA game studio who had an in-house 3D-engine in C++, and chose to write plugins and game logic in D because of easy integration and hot-swappability. AFAIK worked out well for t
