hr0mon High performance array programming in Petalisp

Wait, I know the author and will share the link so he can join here.

hr0mon Julius Caesar's Year of Confusion

History of everything. But this is more of a fast talking podcast

hr0mon Julius Caesar's Year of Confusion

Ha, a proof that by watching YouTube videos you learn something. This was covered by one of my favorite series on YouTube. Here is the particular video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fD-R35DSSZY

hr0mon Scamp – A self-contained Forth computer

Offtopic: You could try ulisp[1] for an interactive Arduino development experience. [1]: http://www.ulisp.com/

hr0mon Fireship – Learn to Code Faster

I have nothing to do with web development but the YouTube channel fireship is great. Funny and informative.

hr0mon Ask HN: Protonmail Alternative?

I am looking for the same thing. A colleague has recommended mailbox.org

hr0mon LeekWars, program your AI to destroy your leek enemies

This looks really nice. I'll try that out. Do you know more similar games? I.e. where the choice of the programming language is done by the player?

hr0mon musicforprogramming.net/latest/

I love the UI. Functional, simple, makes me look like a hoodie wearing hacker with gloves.

hr0mon The origins of ‘horn ok please,’ India’s most ubiquitous phrase (2016)

I can confirm all of it for Germany as well (except the Italian serpentine road synchronization hack).

I flash lights for oncoming traffics because of danger or police checks.

I flash warning lights (or raise right hand) for thank you. Others do as well (especially buses, when you let them out of the bus stop, since in Germany they don't have the right of passage leaving a bus stop)

I learned that truck drivers (and buses) flash left, when it's not safe to overtake.

There are also some official rules regarding bus flashing at a bus stop (right, warning). But most of drivers ignore that.

hr0mon Intel C/C++ compilers complete adoption of LLVM

We use Intel Compiler mainly on supercomputers with Intel CPUs. IT can produce faster code. However it is not great to work with it. It lacks features of the newer standard and it is really slow. Usually we develop with clang or GCC and then we go on the cluster.

hr0mon More fun with Lattice Boltzman Method (LBM) fluid simulations

You should checkout lbmpy for generation of lbm kernels: https://pycodegen.pages.i10git.cs.fau.de/lbmpy/

hr0mon Chromium project finds that 70% of security defects are memory safety problems

There is an proposal for a GC-library: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Cv2IcsiokkGc2K_5FBTDKekN...

That is just like programming in D with extra steps.

hr0mon All Programming Languages are Wrong (2018)

I wonder what the author would do, when performance is critical. Today too many people rely on fast cpu and large memory. There are lots of applicants, where you need to optimize.

hr0mon Ask HN: D programmers, what does your development setup look like?

I use VS Codium. That is the opensource packaging without Microsofts calling home functionality: https://vscodium.com, with the Vim and code-d extension.

You also will want to change some shortcuts, so for example you can switch to terminal and back with CTRL+~, in order to run/test your app quickly.

I would also like to have a full fledged IDE like i have for Python with pycharm, but currently nothing is available.

hr0mon Compiling at Compile Time

In D with D "mixins": https://github.com/m3m0ry/drainfuck
