Shareholders will keep squeezing every last dollar from AI, so they have to keep up the hype. I wonder what the “worth”-income ratio is for all these startups…

From the local college club I helped volunteer a bit. Definitely a blast and sad I missed you!

Sweet! any details about the balloon build? I'm super interested in building a balloon.

Did my first Summits on The Air ⛰️ #sota. CW(Morse code)📡 only from Western NC with the furthest contact into Idaho, twice! Also doubled as a #pota too. TNX to all who helped! #hamradio #amateurradio #morsecode #hiking

Diablo 2 and Maybe Old School Runescape. I think I'm just a sucker for monsters and statues holding orbs of my resources lol.

A WebAssembly compiler that fits in a tweet Starting with a 192-byte one-liner that implements a Reverse Polish Notation arithmetic compiler, we'll work backward to transform it into readable JavaScript by removing one code golf trick at a time

Our book is about building a compiler for a toy, compile-to-Wasm language.

At some point, we starting wondering…what's the smallest possible WebAssembly compiler? Could you make one that fits in tweet? 🤔

The answer is yes!

An exhibit containing some Vibroplex telegraph keys and several Order of Railroad Telegraphers cards at the Wilmington Train Museum in NC.

Went to the train museum in Wilmington NC this weekend and was pleased to see an excellent collection and exhibit on railroad telegraphers. They had a working J-38 Straight key and J.H. Bunnel sounder for people to use and I adjusted the contacts. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area!

I was able to catch it! Great job Loren! It was nice to hear you articulate your thoughts more on it. I also love CAs and I think whats so cool about proc gen is the amount of layering of separate simple functions to get a final complex output!

Great work!! 👍

The main things you should at least be familiar with is C/C++, pointers, structs, and low level concepts like that. Also look at the platform architecture, since that's the assembly you'll be looking at (arm, x86, mips). Also the teams that decomp will likely have a discord with friendly helpers!

So I'd start by looking up any retro games you enjoy and see if there is anything that sounds interesting to you! I really like Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team, and there is a team working on Red Rescue team. Here is a great starting point for gba games www.starcubelabs.com/reverse-engi...
