Hello. I have 10 years of compilers experience and I've applied months ago but haven't heard back yet (but also not rejected). Is it possible to reach out to you directly?
Is blink an interpreter for x86_64 instructions, or does it compile basic blocks to the host architecture?
I had a look at the source code but I'm not sure how it works. It looks a bit too small (50 kloc C + 6.6 kloc headers) to have code generators for all of the supported host architectures.
Another question: instead of getting my follows from my Spotify, could it let me type the artists I'm interested in?
I really want to use it (I'm also not happy with Spotify's recommendations), but my follow list is mainly for podcasts. Maybe just letting the user enter the artist names (instead of getting them from Spotify follow lists) would be easier to support?
I don't understand. The link could've come from anywhere (for example from a HN comment). How does just clicking on it give your package credentials to someone else? Is NPM also at fault here? I'd naively think that this shouldn't be possible.
For example, GitHub asks for 2FA when I change certain repo settings (or when deleting a repo etc.) even when I'm logged in. Maybe NPM needs to do the same?
By CPS do you mean lightweight threads + meeting point channels? (i.e. both the reader and writer get blocked until they meet at the read/write call) Or something else?
Why is CPS better and lower level than async/await?
I don't have too much experience in GUIs and I've been looking at iced and gpui recently for a new GUI application.
iced has some nice looking apps written using it, but they all seem "laggy" on my high-end Linux box somehow. I'm wondering if this is a limitation of the immediate mode GUIs, or something related to my system, or an issue in the apps?
For example, drag-and-drops or selecting text with mouse lag behind the mouse cursor.
I'm wondering if I'm not holding it right somehow?
Exactly. Another case where this happens is with credit/point based systems for things like settlement/citizenship that effectively allows governments to discriminate freely based on vague criteria.
I found writing some complex data structures is great way to learn basics of language. And then you can iterate and improve your data structure to make the code more idiomatic and/or faster.
I grasped Common Lisp with writing `Hash Array Mapped Trie` data structure(one of the data structures lie within some of Clojure's persistent data structures). It helped me understand both the particular data structure and the language.
