Google now ranks my SO profile highly if you search for me. Not sure how I feel about all my misunderstandings being prominent.
"I would rather write [in $LANG]. But it is not just the tools that matter but the ideas, and you will find they come from everywhere." QFT.
"PHP initially implemented its loops by fseek() in the source code." Egads! http://t.co/Vrxk0YPOVR
"good register allocation can improve the performance of several SPEC benchmarks by an order of magnitude" http://t.co/1GsacmLmFu
"Any PHP value in your program uses 68 bytes of overhead [on 32-bit platforms]." Cripes!
Being both recursive and iterative: http://t.co/CqBf23iTpu
I dropped in to @papertrailapp 's chat room, but no-one was around to answer my question. Got a follow-up email later from them. Impressed.
Python list comprehensions are rarely readable when nested. [y for x in [[1, 2], [3, 4]] if x for y in x if y]
I quite like hungry-delete, but most of the time I end up using a mode-specific electric unindent. It's more DWIM. #emacs
Evil app idea: Release an alarm app where snoozing is an in-app purchase, say 5 snoozes for $1.
I love how smartparens lets me treat C as lisp and use paredit-style commands to move brackets. #emacs
Common Lisp's format is already intricate, but here's a doozy of a feature that was rejected: http://t.co/BVWXLfoLNo
Swift takes a different approach to numeric overflow, treating it as an error rather than wrapping: https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/documentation/Swift/Conceptual/Swift_Programming_Language/AdvancedOperators.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40014097-CH27-XID_37
Cripes, you only need to exceed 2^29-1 in Haskell to overflow into a BigNum.
10k requests/sec in Common Lisp! http://t.co/JjWd4GhF6F Impressive.
"ease of syntax highlighting is in many ways a good proxy of readability" Interesting Rust syntax discussion: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/134
I'm becoming increasingly excited about OwnCloud. I like controlling my own digital home and it becomes more polished with each release.
A kilobyte is 1024B, except when it's 1000B. A word is 32-bits on a 32-bit arch, except x86. I thought programmers eschewed ambiguity!
.@andreassavvides I've been writing a C compiler and I recall you wrote one. What resources did you use and how much work was it?
