wild that the golden sun: the lost age any% speedrun involves going off screen out of bounds into an area of memory that the game incorrectly interprets as tile data. it's like that super mario land 2 speedrun but you don't get to see anything...

C's designated initializers are like, the best thing about C. it's so much nicer than what's available in most language to describe data.

unbelievable. according to the NIST, if you have H- and 2^32-1 copies of N2O, and you add one copy of N2O, all the N2O disappear. wow.

according to pianos, 2^7 is the same as (3/2)^12
according to computers, 2^10 is the same as 10^3

simplifying both, we get
2^19 = 3^12
and
2^7 = 5^3
and therefore,
5^19 = 3^28

thank you

the secret to creating anything is to sit down and start. then, after you do that, keep doing that. every day you sit down and start working on your thing is one day you're closer to finishing the thing

for me type systems are about productivity, not safety or performance.

i don't expect the type system to eliminate every possible error, though i do expect it to help me find simple mistakes (e.g. passing arguments in the wrong order, forgetting to convert an argument, etc).

more importantly, i expect it to help me through a series of code changes. for instance, if i change a type signature or type definition, the type system can tell me where else i need to change the code.
