There is a three car pile-up at the intersection of Art and Technology

Happy to finally publish a site I've been working on for a while now:

It's a status tracker for terminal emulator support and explainer the Symbols For Legacy Computing unicode block. It really expands the set of cool things we can do in the terminal!

AI coding tools are safe and useful because version control give you branches, diffs (review), and reverts. Why don't our other tools have the same guardrails and affordances? Would it be crazy to stick everything in git?

In 2014 while I was an intern on the Dart Language team, Google hired Erik Meijer as a consultant to work on the async / await compiler. Erik is an world class expert in this domain, but was unfamiliar Dart, so they...

@linoscope Thanks for making camlboy! We’ve been using it to benchmark jsoo/wasoo for years :P

[Ty Overby @tyroverby]

Fun fact: CAMLBOY performance was used as benchmark from the very beginning of development on Wasm_of_ocaml!

[Lin Oshitani @linoscope]

OCaml's WASM support is amazing!

Just a single config tweak, and CAMLBOY is running on WASM instead of JS—and it's 30% faster on my machine. Huge props to the wasm_of_ocaml team for the fantastic work!

@kotokonoko80950 @wordgrammer On my deathbed this will be my primary regret

Hopefully my last post on this site:

Find me on the other blue website!

@hd_nvim Why stop there?

i've released a new beta version of bauble. there's still a lot to do, but it's Mostly Usable now! i'm especially excited about the new interactive documentation page: https://t.co/LdItxlSh66

Signed distance functions (SDFs) are fundamental tools in graphics, vision, and physics simulation.

But how do you get a high-quality SDF from messy, real-world input? At #SIGGRAPH2024, we introduced a simple method for turning "broken" geometry into a well-behaved SDF. <🧵>

Beautiful font; sadly antialiasing ruins it everywhere I tried it :(

@jordwalke rewriting my image processing code in JavaScript for performance

[Ty Overby @tyroverby]

OCaml is a functional programming language, and means that if you want to early-return from a function or break out of a loop, you get to choose between using exceptions for control flow and littering your code with mutable references

@teej_dv I'd like to have a word with let*

If I were any good at posting, this tweet would have started with
"it has been [1] days"

[Ty Overby @tyroverby]

it has been [0] days since our last "bug caused by OCaml's inclusive-end for loop" incident

writing good tests is nondeterministic

[Jessie Frazelle @jessfraz]

Actually, tests find bugs. Sure on occasion a code review might find a bug but it’s not deterministic, a test is deterministic. Sure you can write shit tests. But if you write good ones they will be deterministic.
