If anyone wants to try the flavour of Scheme used in the book, install Racket and use: #lang simply-scheme

Not the same experience of course, but I think you can watch the presentations you've missed https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/streaming/ …

I feel slightly disappointed. At the same time nobody is obliged to live like the public (or his "fans") think that person should live.

On the paid version it is 5.2.

Codecrafters is fun if you have the time to do their (paid) challenges.

You can't 100% be sure the AI won't hallucinate. If you don't want to manually check it, you can have a different AI check it and if it finds something suspect flag it for a human to ve…

> Recently got a Matic robot This probably has nothing to do with gen AI (the kind of AI Nadela is speaking about).

AFAIK there is no Rust compiler for Plan 9 or 9front. The project is using a dialect of C and its own C compiler(s). I doubt adding Rust to the mix will help. For a research OS, C is a nice clean lang…

Many years ago I've used Editra under Linux, it was crashing and losing my unsaved changes at least once a day. Sure, these days you could (and should) use source control, but still I would be co…

I appreciate that the author clearly states that he wrote the book with various LLMs. This way people that don't want to read LLM generated text (like me) can skip it and LLM enthusiasts can enjo…

Nobody is imposing anything, feel free to ignore my philosophy of death which I like to call reality.

IMHO, it is a terrible idea. Why would I feel offended by a cemetery ? Death is a part of life. It sounds like you are trying to transform cemeteries in find a pokemon like game, which some people w…

Google removes some of its AI summaries after users’ health put at risk. Not all AI health related summaries were removed.

The honest answer is that nobody really knows.

Your CTO is right, reviewing code is harder than writing it. Any experienced programmer will confirm that. If the human is the bottleneck the logical step is to use a different AI to review the code…

On lulu.com you can get a really good idea of how much it will cost to publish a physical book.

I guess the idea is that if the code does not crash at this line: DEBUGASSERT(slen < dsize); it means it succeeded. Although some compilers will remove the assertions in release builds. I …
