Hello All, I wrote a section in my Clojure book about using the power of Java in Clojure https://clojure-book.gitlab.io/book.html#_java_power

Hope you like it.

Had an idea for another #bot that I've decided to ditch.

The first version was the get all the transcripts of Trump and create a bot like @conanomatic , creating Markov chain posts. The twist was to find actual sentences with similar words, and play "Two Trumps and a Lie," see if you can pick the generated nonsense from his nonsense.

It technically worked, but wasn't that amusing to me. It generated fairly mundane sentences.

So I decided, train it on his social media posts.

And that works fairly well, but my Lord it's depressing. I think it demonstrates that a script can post like him. But I can't put that hate into the world, even to make a point.

I'll keep the code for something else, but I'm ditching those models.

Want to hear from legends like Herb Sutter or Bjarne Stroustrup?
At CppCon 2025, you'll get keynotes, panels, and talks from the top minds in C++.
Insight, inspiration, and interaction await.

This made me laugh

The talk was very nice :

What could go wrong?

But all that money is, to put it gently, a reckless gamble. In the US at least, investors have essentially bet the farm on the idea that AI will soon lead to gains in labor productivity — the amount of goods and services workers are able to produce in a given time — that have never been seen in the history of humankind.

Nice, but much longer (& more condescending) than it should be:

I am currently refactoring most of Zentrox' Rust codebase and API to make it more suitable for collaborating with others on this project.

After that I am considering to re-write parts of the JavaScript frontend.

I realized, it is fairly fun removing bad code and being able to just write a cleaner version of it.

I'm writing a series of blog posts, in which I write a #bytecode #compiler and a #virtualMachine for arithmetic in #Haskell. We explore the following topics in the series:

- Parsing arithmetic expressions to ASTs.
- Compiling ASTs to bytecode.
- Interpreting ASTs.
- Efficiently executing bytecode in a VM.
- Disassembling bytecode and decompiling opcodes for debugging and testing.
- Unit testing and property-based testing for our compiler and VM.
- Benchmarking our code to see how the different passes perform.
- All the while keeping an eye on performance.

The second post of the series that focuses on writing the #compiler is now out: https://abhinavsarkar.net/posts/arithmetic-bytecode-vm-compiler

Not sure who made this but I like it.

Sometimes, after solving a bug, I feel that it’s absolutely amazing that I found someone willing to pay me to do this.

Or that I manage to tie my own shoes, for that matter…

Pues como esta noche con el humo no podía dormir, he estado hasta las cinco y media escribiendo un artículo en mi blog para acallar las voces que depuran código sin cesar tras el ocaso:

A one-line JavaScript string formatter

#LaurenGoode spent two days at #Notion exploring #vibecoding, a form of #AI-assisted #programming. She used #ClaudeCode to #prototype a feature. Despite initial logic errors, the AI-assisted process was #efficient and #costeffective, raising questions about its impact on #productivity and #jobdisplacement. https://longreads.com/2025/08/22/why-did-a-10-billion-startup-let-me-vibe-code-for-them-and-why-did-i-love-it/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

I've taken the decision to pause my work on https://frontcover.net and will be using the rest of the year to prepare it to be opened up.

8 years having fun building and learning with it. But I no longer have the passion and I think it'd be best to have others take it on.

Happy to get some advice and pointers on how to turn closed source into open source, governance, things to avoid, etc.

What are you doing this weekend? by @dziban https://lobste.rs/s/ayqmih #ask #programming
