2022-08-16 – Status update, August 2022
via Drew DeVault's blog
It is a blessedly cool morning here in Amsterdam. I was busy moving house
earlier this month, so this update is a bit quieter than most.
For a fun off-beat project this month, I started working on a GameBoy
emulator written in Hare. No promises on when
it wil…

2022-08-15 – Static Site Generators Are Easy to Use…Right?
via Kev Quirk
I’ve had this post in my drafts folder for months now Actually, it’s ever since I realised how hard it is to manage content with Static Site Generators, and flipped ... More -->
2022-08-14 – Status update, August 2022
via emersion
Hi all!
This month I’ve been pondering offline-first apps. The online aspect of modern
apps is an important feature for many use-cases: it enables collaboration
between multiple people and seamless transition between devices (e.g. I often
switch between my pe…

2022-08-13 – Playing _The Search for Almazar_ (1981)
via Arthur O’Dwyer
Last year I ported Winston Llamas' _The Search for Almazar_ from BASIC to C for the Z-machine; see ["Play _The Search for Almazar_ online"](/blog/2021/05/16/play-almazar/) (2021-05-16). At the time I didn't blog a playthrough of the game; …
2022-08-10 – A SLANG interpreter for SCAMP
via jes's blog
I made the interpreter by ripping the parser out of the compiler, making it produce an AST instead of assembly code,
and writing a recursive evaluator for the AST. It was way less work than writing
the Lisp interpreter, and it runs programs about 100x faste…
2022-08-10 – How I wish I could organize my thoughts
via Drew DeVault's blog
I keep a pen & notebook on my desk, which I make liberal use of to jot down my
thoughts. It works pretty well: ad-hoc todo lists, notes on problems I’m working
on, tables, flowcharts, etc. It has some limitations, though. Sharing anything
out of my noteb…
2022-08-09 – Playing With WSL2
via
I played with WSL a while back, and I suppose I technically use it daily on my work PC. I say “technically” because the way I use it is more of just a terminal window that automatically connects SSH to a remote server where my screen session is running. I…
2022-08-08 – What to do when someone tells you to "take initiative"
via erik.wiffin
I have always hated the phrase “Don’t bring me problems, bring me solutions!”. It feels lazy. It incentivizes people to sweep things under the rug if they can’t figure out what to do. It doesn’t give any useful direction to the person bringing you problem…

via Kev Quirk
Brandon, incidentally one of the oldest members on Fosstodon, asked a few questions in response to my post on Five Years of Fosstodon. So I thought I’d answer them here. ... More -->
2022-08-05 – Ask Mike Anything
via
In light of the 5th Anniversary of Fosstodon, I thought I’d give the community the opportunity to ask me about anything they wanted to know more about. Any question is fair game, and I’m going to do my best to answer honestly where I can.

2022-08-03 – A Lisp interpreter for SCAMP
via jes's blog
Lisp has been the most recent step in my search for the ultimate SCAMP programming environment.
Unfortunately what I have so far is so slow that it's probably another dead-end. It's about 300x
slower than compiled SLANG code.
2022-08-02 – Beware CTAD on `reverse_iterator`
via Arthur O’Dwyer
Consider the following example of an "STL-style algorithm," taken from a lab exercise in one of my training courses: template bool is_palindrome(It first, It last) { while (first != last) { --last; if (first == last) break; if (*first != *last) { …
