With advance of LLM (GPT) and AI I feel it is now possible to build multibillion IP solo without a team.

Somebody made a RISC-V emulator emulating Linux in Scratch.

Ctrl-A X is the keyboard combination to exit QEMU and TinyEMU emulators.

How come we get to the state where writing HTTP servers or a JSON parser from scratch will take less time than figuring out what library to use and how to use the library?

If you are writing documentation, please give some examples. It is so hard to read without examples.

ASCII standards are so bad. They are hard to read. RFCs are a million times better.

Multiple times in my life, I wish I could read Chinese. For some reason, there are so many technical documents in Chinese. I can use Google Translate, but it is cumbersome.

This makes your keyboard clicky:

Here is an exercise to find your passion in life. Imagine you have an infinite amount of money; what would you do? Personally, I would travel and build a Metaverse from hotel rooms.

Good read. I am fully in agreement that the code review culture has a huge problem, and we need to address it somehow. I don’t think pair programming and TDD are going to be the sole solution to the problem; I think we need some hea…

It is almost 2024. Patiently waiting for:

import std;
auto main() -> int { std::println("Hello, World!"); }

Do you remember doing auto i = 0U to be nice to the C++ compiler? Now you can do auto i = 0Z to be even nicer. [C++23].

I am thinking about what game to implement next as a practice using RICS-V VM. I was thinking of Space Invaders in 3D, but it currently does not feel appealing; maybe zombies? A lot of zombies instead of aliens?

I learned the hard way that exceptions are expensive. I was doing a bunch of tests with the RISC-V VM and gave it a budget of 60K instructions/sec. Then I started testing exceptions, and nothing was happening. It looked like it is taking a lot of time to unwind the stack.
