auselen··on Writing a C Compiler: Build a Real Programming Language from Scratch
Yes but those are called transpilers, right?
auselen··on Writing a C Compiler: Build a Real Programming Language from Scratch
Correctness is already a must, how did you arrive to this?
auselen··on Writing a C Compiler: Build a Real Programming Language from Scratch
How come you made this about computer’s performance :)
auselen··on Writing a C Compiler: Build a Real Programming Language from Scratch
Ok, but that’s sw engineering issue.

I still insist that a production grade compiler can’t leave performance on table. Which is where the current battlefield is.

auselen··on Writing a C Compiler: Build a Real Programming Language from Scratch
Wouldn’t just a simple case of bad code generation render little compiler into a toy one?

Repeating others, today’s compilers are really just “optimizing compilers”, there is no room for toying in production environments.

auselen··on Let's Stop Asking "Why Do You Want to Work for Us?" In Interviews
Everyone needs to be motivated by the job.

Think a teacher/nurse, would you find it ok for them to answer “for the money”.

Another angle to it; you can be professional and explain your goals but also you can’t be desperate, no one likes that, even if you are desperate you need to act professional about that.

auselen··on Show HN: We made a small and cheap network switch
Congrats.

A few months ago I wanted to make a small lab out of a few SBCs. Looking for a cheap 10/100 switch, I was surprised to see prices are this low; got a tplink 8 port / LS1008 for 10$ from Amazon.

auselen··on Both pilots of an A320 fell asleep in the cockpit for 28 minutes
> captain could be pass out drunk and still dock the 70 footer without issue Brings up memories… This was same with my father, he stopped drinking later but when I was a teenager and stuck somewhere after midnight I would call home and he would say “sure buddy” and come pick me up. On the way back his eyes were almost closed and sometimes we would joke about how the car knows about the roads and can go way back home itself. He is too old now and actually has a 12 meter boat which can’t dock himself alone.

Why are you serious about that?

auselen··on Niklaus Wirth has died
I wouldn’t know, I was like a Borland fan…
auselen··on Niklaus Wirth has died
It was a RAD platform though. From following your links:

> Low-code development platforms trace their roots back to fourth-generation programming language and the rapid application development tools of the 1990s and early 2000s.

> Delphi was originally developed by Borland as a rapid application development tool for Windows as the successor of Turbo Pascal.

auselen··on Fake Trees: Using Indents for Simpler UIs
I’m opposite about the feeling.

When I work on a problem that’s new to me, I ask around, explaining the problem, checking if someone recognizes the domain, if it is known.

When someone explains to me what I’m working on is a solved problem, I take great joy from it since I already understand the issue some, I can criticize or take great energy from learning something for sure.

I believe how to feel about it is a choice btw. As movie says “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life”.

auselen··on Sid Meier's Memoir: A Life in Computer Games
It is from 2020/2021 though first time seeing it. I ordered one, thanks!
auselen··on Reforming Unix
I also had in mind features like cpu affinity, and may be the next thing that this app which compiled a decade ago didn’t know about.

I don’t like current forking for sure, just that I’m not against inheritance…

auselen··on Reforming Unix
Wouldn’t creating new processes from zero rather than inheriting from parent make it hard to do things like ‘sudo’?
auselen··on Cray-1 vs Raspberry Pi
Recognizing the domain, you can read about the early history of benchmarks: http://www.roylongbottom.org.uk/whetstone.htm

Thanks for that. I didn’t notice she switch to B+ later.

Confused article? You make a host/native build instead of cross and expect it to work on some other machine?
