Very cool! I can’t imagine writing everything in C, I’m currently learning this in OCaml which seems nicer for a project like this.



> I can’t imagine writing everything in C

I will say that C is a perfect low level language for bootstrapping more complex systems and languages. If I were building a bootstrap compiler I would write it in C and have it emit C. Specifically C89/99 ONLY with no POSIX/GNU deps. that will guarantee a large swath of compiler and system support out of the box.

Wow that's super nostalgic. You're on a great path! After doing something similar, I switched to Haskell. Give it a go if you have the time.


Interesting story but the AI makes it irritating to read


First time I’ve seen my university mentioned online and it’s the wrong country!


This has got to be my favourite feature of IntelliJ, along with the dumb context actions menu


I sunk the ball, but the game didn’t end so I happily hit it back out of the hole!! Pretty fun though


I haven’t tried this app yet, but my attempts at speaking to ChatGPT in Spanish were pretty dull. Almost every sentence the model replied with “Claro!” and tended to repeat itself often


Reading this on airline wifi right now makes me realise just how unusable some stuff becomes with choppy internet. E.g. I can’t change settings on the LinkedIn app because the request to load the settings page fails :/.


I remember someone saying it looks like a pregnancy announcement, and that’s what I think of every time I see it


I guess it is in a way. They are going to pop out lots of tiny robots.


Opening this on the class laptop at school was always fun


> Now test your VPS’s IPv4 geolocation using Cloudflare’s /cdn-cgi/trace endpoint (available on any site behind CF)

Interesting, this really does seem to work on any site behind CF. Are there any other endpoints like this?


The cdn-cgi endpoints are documented here: https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/reference/cdn...
