Raddle is an occasionally infuriating word puzzle that does not fund hate.

Why would you need to download and install code libraries these days? Just ask your AI to add the feature into your own codebase... It's simpler than package management in C++ (this has been a C++ package management joke post, please behave accordingly)
Here are some words what I wrote.
I Accidentally Wrote an Emulator (Part 4) - L Break Into Program, 0:1
In the last three blog posts, I managed to get the emulator booting up and displaying the famous Sinclair copyright message in an SDL window. But I had no way to interact with the emulator, notably th...

Two-player #BBCMicro Elite has just become the first game ever to support all the buttons on twin Delta 14B joysticks So two players can dogfight in Elite without either of them needing the keyboard For some of us, this is a dream come true! And it justifies all this hardware I keep buying... 😀
Did you know Linus Torvalds wrote a software blitter called GMOVE for the Sinclair QL? The QL Preservation Project has archived it along with 4GB of QL software, all 17 volumes of QL Today magazine, and even a playable Bandersnatch. Incredible resource: https://www.sinclairql.net/
Finding a V8 optimisation bug was not on my bingo card for July and yet... issues.chromium.org/issues/53780... Sometimes it *is* a bug in the compiler :)

Struggling to deal with slop and manage PRs in your code base? This is your last chance to get my new book, "Make Bugs (nearly) Impossible" at a pre-release price for as low as $4.99 leanpub.com/makebugsnear... I'm known for C++ content - but this book is language agnostic.

Resisting human and AI slop in an LLM age while keeping code clean and maintainable.

As a seasoned assembly language hack, I'm interested in the code that compilers generated, and the optimisations they've used. This is a fascinating online resource by @matt.godbolt.org that sheds a lot of light on that.
Compiler Explorer
Compiler Explorer is an interactive online compiler which shows the assembly output of compiled C++, Rust, Go (and many more) code.

With the amount of body checking and tackling you would think this was American Football and not Football in America.
why does the C64 port of Nuts & Milk (called HOT POP for some reason) look like it should be a ZX Spectrum game?
At last, I can finally nuke my account over there

Apparently my YouTube channel is 11 today! The stats tell me my most watched video is one I did very early on about how Wolfenstein 3D (the DOS era game) worked. I've been threatening to make a Doom and Quake followup ever since...oops. www.youtube.com/channel/UCC3...

Sounds like either a threat or a bid to attract Americans by pointing out flaws in their healthcare?

Any other Patreon users frustated by the enforced "combination" of creator and supporter accounts, or is it just me? I have had "Compiler Explorer" and "Matt Godbolt" sides of my account for years now, and have a number of patreons on the one side, and many years' relationship with creators ...
Was asked a bunch at ACCU about another Advent of Compiler Optimisations... I don't think I'll have the time but I have been thinking ever since...darn you for nerd sniping me :)
happy father’s day to all the dads who don’t listen to manosphere podcasts
Relaxing with my family and taking stock of a fantastic @accuconf.bsky.social conference. So many great talks, so many interesting hallway conversations, packed conference rooms, fun evening activities. See you next year ACCU on Sea!
