I've interacted quite a bit with both Sam and Peter. Your characterization rings completely false. I've never gotten the least hint of the impression they were doing this for self-promotion, but rather to serve to fill an obvious

Never got a chance to use a BBC, but I did read Peter Killworth's “How to write Adventure Games” at one point: http://www.mocagh.org/softguide/writeadventuregames.pdf

The Go community has always embraced this. On the Go Proverbs page[1], it's expressed as “A little copying is better than a little dependency” — true, it's not precisely the same idea, but close. [1] https://go-proverbs

Java was cool at allowing a couple of things nothing else did: applets, and an actually cross-platform language. But the language itself never seemed “cool” — it horribly verbose even from the start. In fact, it's much better now than

There are several comments here to the effect that Riseup is “communist” (although I cannot tell whether that's intended as a slur or compliment). Reading their “About us” and even “Political Principles” page, there's nothing terr

Given that https://github.com/src-d/go-git exists, this seems like a purely interest-driven learning project, as it says.

A completely clueless question: do they dramatically reconfigure the LHC and other colliders for each type of experiment? Or can you do something like Google did with Tri Alpha Energy [1] to explore interesting parts of the state space, and

Oh, markdown is great. I meant the things that are just different syntax for HTML.

You're not alone. I hate non-HTML languages for generating HTML. It's a perfectly fine syntax.

After reading this, I feel the founders of Elph and myself have radically different ideas about what "Crypto" means. :-) Isn't OpenSSL the Netscape of Crypto?

I see this: In the ITU-T VCEG and ISO/IEC MPEG standardization world, the Joint Video Experts Team (JVET) was formed in October 2017 to develop a new video standard that has capabilities beyond HEVC. The recently-concluded Ca

I learned to use Radare2 a bit during our company's last CTF, and while it's super awesome in terms of capabilities, the GUI story is terrible: if you start investigating, it seems there's a long debris trail of half-done GUI

$10,000 is less than what Silicon Valley firms will cover just for relocation. I guess if you're thinking of doing it anyway, it could push you over the edge. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Agreed. If you have 6502 nostalgia, there are some really good tests, and you can basically just keep fixing test failures until they all go away, and you'll have a working chip emulation. https://github.com/Klaus2m5&

I do too. But it saddens me how often the most enjoyable StackOverflow discussions also contain notices that they're closed for being offtopic, allowed to continue to exist only because grandfathered in, etc.

Until you try to correct simple mistakes on Wikipedia a couple of times, and learn that you should just give up, and accept things like broken grammar, repeated sentence fragments, etc. I believe they are surfing on the strength of past con

It's been fascinating to watch every online environment almost inevitably turn to mush over time. Of particular interest to me are Wikipedia and StackOverflow, where the pedantic rule-following, rule-enforcing insider group eventually

That's the same hand. Unless I'm misunderstanding, pcwalton said that solving the hard theoretical problem doesn't even rate on his list.

When I was writing a cycle-accurate 6502 emulation, I ported the transistor-level 6502 emulation to Go (which is what I wrote my emulator in), and then ran that and my emulation over the same test suites, checking that every load and store

OpenEmulator, a little-known emulator for the Apple II, has an absolutely fantastic NTSC emulation, done with GPU shaders. I'm in the process of porting it to WebGL, so that (a) I and others can actually understand it, and (b) so that

Anyone know if Oak is (or will be) released as Open Source?

I felt like that for a long time, and eventually it prompted me to build an Apple II emulator, and implement the compiler from the Coursera Compilers course. Simple versions of these things are not as insurmountable as you think: just put y
