Out of curiosity, what software are you using to run and manage your mailing list?

vmsp··on Crafting Interpreters: Superclasses
Hi Bob! I just want to tell you that I've just started reading your book and I'm enjoying it very much.

Maybe you could add a design note in the chapter with the mentioned content?

Keep it up!

What's "Google-flavored Java"?
vmsp··on Flutter: Futures, Isolates, Event Loop
If you're interested in the Dart VM, I also recommend taking a look at Vyacheslav Egorov's Introduction to Dart VM (https://mrale.ph/dartvm/).
vmsp··on The US spends more on healthcare for no gain says new report from Johns Hopkins
Interestingly, I just read this last night on Factfulness by Hans Rosling so it's certainly not a new finding. I highly recommend the book.
vmsp··on Raw String Literals Removed From Java 12 as Feature Set Frozen
Can anyone recommend a good resource to get up to speed with Java's new features since 1.8?
vmsp··on Why Aren't There C Conferences?
But don't people, who compile C on Windows, usually compile it as C++? That means you in fact get access to some (most?) of C99.
vmsp··on HermitCore-rs – A Rust-based, lightweight unikernel
I'm not familiar with HermitCore but the authors "...promise that this will make it easier to maintain and extend our kernel [originally written in C]." It'd be great if they could elaborate.
vmsp··on Evolution of Emacs Lisp [pdf]
AFAIK the point wasn't to replace elisp. It was to replace emacs' interpreter with guile's which also supports elisp.
vmsp··on Dear Spotify, please let me unlink my Facebook account
I also created my Spotify account with Facebook. When I wanted to unlink them I just sent an email to support and they did it pretty quickly with no issues. I haven't used FB and Spotify for years now, so things might have changed, but OP should try and do the same.
vmsp··on Facebook Isn’t Sorry, It Just Wants Your Data
In my experience, what you're saying's not true. I might have given the wrong impression but the friends I mentioned aren't ignorant at all. "Well, they do have to make money somehow." It's a choice. That's why I say they don't care.

Also, I simpatize with your last sentence but you must understand that consumers expect a lot of software to be free, nowadays. It's really hard to compete with free so I don't blame companies who go the FB route.

vmsp··on Facebook Isn’t Sorry, It Just Wants Your Data
I think you're completely wrong. You and I care about privacy and it feels like everyone does too because we're only getting signals from inside our own little tech bubble. People don't care about their privacy, it's a simple as that. At least not enough to stop using Facebook and whatnot. Most of my friends and acquaintances are software engineers and couldn't care less about Facebook's scandals and how it uses their data because they "use adblock, anyway". My less techy friends actually enjoy getting targeted ads since, at least, they're not completely inappropriate.

Apple is indeed invested in the "we care about your privacy" narrative. Probably not our of the goodness of their hearts. It differentiates them from the competition even more and is yet another justification for their premiums. I agree with you, they're the good guys for now.

vmsp··on Show HN: Minimal Bookmarking Site
Yeah that comment seems out of place. Especially when you hear so many good things about Pinboard. Maybe it's sarcasm?
vmsp··on Show HN: Sublime Merge – A Git client from the makers of Sublime Text
Jon, it's impressive how you deliver incredibly performant cross-platform UIs. You really should consider talking about your development and custom widget toolkit.

Great job on Sublime Merge.

vmsp··on Dissecting QNX [pdf]
What's your goto intro/reference to QNX's internals?
vmsp··on Show HN: Condor – A library for building scalable TCP servers in Erlang
Doesn't native erlang handle that? With {packet, Len} and {active, once}?
vmsp··on Tables
What JavaScript interpreter do you use for embedding? I know of MuJS [1] but it only supports ES5.

vmsp··on Firefox 62.0 Released
I really want to change to Firefox but a while ago it was a huge battery drain on my mac. It had something to do with it not using CoreAnimation, I think. Does anyone know if this is still the case?
vmsp··on EU to move ahead with cultural quotas for streaming services
I also feel like this isn't a good idea but who knows.

In 2009 the Portuguese government introduced a mandatory quota of 25% Portuguese music in all radio stations. It was absolutely terrible at the time as all Portuguese music was invariably shitty. Flash forward 9 years and, in my opinion, things are much better. We still have a bunch of bad music but meanwhile a lot new quality artists appeared and became popular. Maybe it has nothing to do with the quota's but take it as you will.

vmsp··on Emacs Lisp JIT Compiler
The code is in branch feature/libjit of emacs' repo, if anyone wants to take a look. http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/?h=feature/l...
vmsp··on ZSH, tmux, Emacs and SSH: A copy-paste story
Dan Luu wrote about terminal latency a while back [1]. Eshell is actually the shell with the least overall latency. Is is, though, very slow at sinking stdout, which is probably what you are noticing.

Same thing on desktop.
vmsp··on ARM immediate value encoding (2014)
Kind of off topic but does anyone have any resources on operating system development for AArch64?
vmsp··on Open sourcing Sonnet – a new library for constructing neural networks
Where does this leave Keras? Wasn't it supposed to be the new high level interface to TF?

EDIT: Also, what about TF-Slim?

vmsp··on DynASM
Failing that, it would be great if someone is collecting all is writings.
