APL is a powerful language for program architecture, as demonstrated through a comparison of brainfuck implementations. The code transitions from a procedural v0 to a data-first v1 paradigm, emphasizing the importance of efficient state updates and input/output handling for improved performance. The v1 architecture allows for potential instruction fusion and parallel execution, breaking free from […]

The project, which began in 2002, involved scanning 25 million books after forging deals with top libraries. The detailed process involved custom-built scanning stations and sophisticated software to digitize books efficiently. The project […]
In this blog post, the author delves into the unique CPU of the Gameboy Advance, the ARM7TDMI, which is described as chaotic and filled with questionable design decisions. The focus is on the multiplication instruction of the CPU, particularly the behavior of the carry flag after execution. The author highlights the mysterious and meme-worthy nature […]
Stephan Beal announced plans for an overhaul of SQLite’s “configure; make” system, aimed at improvement. While efforts to prevent breakage are prioritized, given the diverse usage of the system, thorough testing is impossible. Users are encouraged to try new features in pre-release snapshots to address build-level breakage. Roger Binns inquired about -DHAVE_ values, suggesting a […]
A groundbreaking study by the USGS and Arkansas Department of Energy and Environment revealed the potential of extracting lithium from brines in the Smackover Formation, a geological unit stretching across several southern states. The research estimated enough lithium to replace U.S. imports and meet global demand for electric vehicles in 2030. Utilizing machine learning, the […]
