It made my hair fall out

This is the polonium of visualization
dw-im-here··on The V Programming Language 0.4
Holy shit someone _paid_ you to write V!?? Incredible!
dw-im-here··on When you lose the ability to write, you also lose some of your ability to think
Many times when I am asked to write something it's not so that I may think but so that others may not. If this is the case I have no problem serving them some AI generated unthoughts

You mean there are two modern programming languages which you know

I do the same when I post comments on hacker news
dw-im-here··on Tell HN: Microsoft classifies own emails as junk
I have 128Gb RAM, it's not enough to make ms teams remotely close to acceptable because the UX is still like a parodical mashup of every bad idea microsoft has ever had.
dw-im-here··on The pool of talented C++ developers is running dry
Sepples doesn't even have monadic operation for its optional type. It's just utterly destitute

dw-im-here··on The Sad State of Debug Performance in C++
I didn't expect something as silly as this coming out of Kernighams mouth
dw-im-here··on Go 1.19 Released
Should it be a parking lot for blue audis? Or a parking lot for red toyotas? or a parking lot for [Object object]? string? {}?
dw-im-here··on Carbon Language: An experimental successor to C++
Why not use a text editor that renders indents as whatever you want them to be?

> Also, the CPU in the picture is upside down. Maybe this is a shallow criticism (especially since the picture was probably chosen by an editor), but I am reluctant to listen to people who would make such a basic mistake.

If you want to hear the opinion of someone who is actually involved in CPU design, this is a ridiculously shallow take, and you should seriously recalibrate

Wild to think that someone who reads C++ all day would wince at written profanity

What if it's on the other side of the equator, do you have to screw it counterclock-wise?

Wow the competition for a slot in the corporation sure is fierce these days
dw-im-here··on Meta Assembly Language
You should at least mention llvm IR and describe how it differs. To me it does seem a lot nicer than llvm ir, is this intended to be mostly generated and consumed by compilers, or is it meant to be human read and written?
dw-im-here··on Exploring Clang/LLVM optimization on programming horror
Correct, if you don't ensure the necessary preconditions are met you quickly run into undecidable problems.
dw-im-here··on Red Ventures has turned very specific advice into very big business
I got some pretty bad vibes from reading about their business model. We don't need more of this adtech shit

We're hiring, but not interns
dw-im-here··on Ascenium wants to reinvent the CPU and kill instruction sets altogether
We (I work for ascenium) do operate with a notion of op, in the sense that we specify ALU ops happening at a given location. I'm not sure that the idea we're trying to convey when we say killing the ISA can be easily understood, but it ties together with the fact that we instruct the core in a far more detailed fashion than your typical CPU during compile time.

In short, our machine code (control words) is far more imperative than typical RISC instructions. RISC specifies what should happen, ours specifies the what _and_ the how

Also, I don't think an FPGA is a very good description of what we do, but on the other hand I did use the same analogy to describe what I do when I started working here, so it's not terribly wrong either
