Some demos offloaded work to the 1541 - https://csdb.dk/release/?id=820
< disclaimer - I wrote CFR, which is one of the original set of 'modern' java decompilers > Generic erasure is a giant pain in the rear. C# doesn't do this. You don't actually keep any information about generics in the…
I'm building a tool shed completely from scratch. Actually doing woodwork (ok ok it was also an excuse to get a nice nail gun) and seeing something tangible at the end of your efforts is surprisingly nice if your day…
If it compiles, ship it. Even if it's subtly broken..... I, for one, look forward to the contracting gigs fixing garbage code. :) The pull back on this will be brutal.
This. The adoption of LLMs for code generation, even with this statement well understood, feels inevitable, and there's going to be some amazing consultancy work fixing the garbage that gets put near production.
For me, the end of the computer magazine was the end of print Dr Dobbs. For years, it was a wonderful staple that was just there. The world's a sadder place for its loss. :(
Absolutely this - I'm a bit sad that the alternative name "Plausible Bullshit Generator" hasn't taken off.... https://www.google.com/search?q=%22plausible+bullshit+genera...
Can't be the only person who grew to associate anti-fingernail-biting taste with YAY BITING FINGERNAILS.
Great, but not Bad Horse great. https://www.a2wd.com/traceroute-bad-horse/
Not mine, and not ..... really.... serious.... but someone has to mention the greatest work scripts ever : https://github.com/NARKOZ/hacker-scripts
Excel never dies, but BOY does it get worse with each iteration. It often feels to me that in the last several releases all that's been done is apply more and more lipstick to a pig that's already 90% lipstick. I…
I have an OSS 'fun project' - I'm still amazed by the number of issues/emails I get raised which say: "You should rewrite in" / "Why does't it do" / "Make it do". It's nice that people are using it. I generally (try to)…
I haven't raised mine, as I consider it to be a refinement of the bug noted in https://twitter.com/tagir_valeev/status/1210431331332689920 (Don't know if java devs have responsed to that.) (again, reachability analysis…
Nope - the if condition is not considered in flow analysis. Read the end: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se8/html/jls-14.htm... "14.21. Unreachable Statements It is a compile-time error if a statement cannot…
negative instanceof is a disaster I posted a bit about it here http://www.benf.org/other/cfr/java14instanceof_pattern.html it was first noted https://twitter.com/tagir_valeev/status/1210431331332689920 here but the main…
I knocked up a silly dynamic regex grapher a while back as a little teaching aid - mildly fun https://www.benf.org/other/regexview/
(and yes, the nested yield is ABSOLUTELY an anti-pattern. They did promise to do a bulk yield at some point, I haven't used C# in a few years so don't know if I'm out of date!)
Sure you can. Here's a super grotty (and expensive) c# version. static IEnumerable<int> infinite() { int x = 2; while (true) { yield return x++; } } static IEnumerable<int> primes(IEnumerable<int> l) { int head =…
I bought an org domain back in the 90s, and have been using it as my personal domain (i.e. also primary email address) ever since. While, granted, I was perhaps a little silly to go org (it seemed like a good idea back…
Such a waste of a good title. Should have been: "An interview with Barbara Liskov. Accept no substitutes."
Aside from all the other excellent points about the motivations behind this group - this one sentence on the website is really a very silly move : 'Currently, most software courses teach either Python or (worse yet)…
Hang on. Is no-one else here just blown away by the fact that the guy lucked into meeting Garriot & Watson? Man, I'd have given my right arm for that as a kid.
I feel I should link a function mode excel ray tracer a friend wrote in 2004. https://github.com/simon-frankau/excel-ray-tracer
I'm in exactly the same boat. To be honest, I've started to get twitchy whenever anyone uses one when he's NOT around, I'm that used to watching out for them. Hand dryers. Leaf blowers. Hair dryers. Hoovers. But bowling…
One of the things that's interesting to me is the resources available at the time - in terms of help. With a game like this now (Say, the excellent Thimbleweed Park - you played it, right?), if you get truly, epically…
