Nibble Stew

Some time ago I visited a used book fair and came across this awesome piece of 80s scifi-asthetic.

In our previous post we looked at fixing a super 8 film projector.

Warning!

I submitted talk proposals about Pystd, the from-scratch written standard library for C++ (custom design, not a implementation of the ISO specification) to a bunch of conferences.

Almost exactly three years ago the Oceangate submarine implosion happened.

One of the many nice language features in Python are keyword arguments.

In the past I have written many blog posts on implementing various PDF features in CapyPDF.

In our previous episode we wrote a merge sort implementation that runs a bit faster than the one in stdlibc++.

In an earlier blog post we found out that Pystd's simple sorting algorithm implementations were 5-10% slower than their stdlibc++ counterparts.

At this point in history, AI sociopaths have purchased all the world's RAM in order to run their copyright infringement factories at full blast.

One of the most optimized algorithms in any standard library is sorting.

There are a lot of prime classes, such as left truncating primes, twin primes, mersenne primes, palindromic primes, emirp primes and so on.

Pystd is an experiment on what a C++ standard library without any backwards compatibility requirements would look like.

Bill Hoffman, the original creator of the CMake language held a presentation at CppCon.

I, too, have (or as you can probably guess from the title of this post, had) a Facebook account.

If you ask people why they are using AI (or want other people to use it) you get a ton of different answers.

Chapterizer (not a great name, I know) is a tool I wrote to generate books.

One of the core design points of Pystd has been that it maintains perfect API and ABI stability while also making it possible to improve the code in arbitrary ways.

Note: this post represents my personal opinions as a Debian maintainer of a single package (Meson).

Truly, we are living in a new Golden Age for all those sharing our passion in subjugating all of human race under a single iron fist.

PDF can do a lot of things.

PDF/A is a specific version of PDF designed for long term archival of electronic data.

I have just released CapyPDF 1.8.

Building code for Android with Meson has long been possible, but a bit hacky and not particularly well documented.

Writing out C++ module files and importing them is awfully complicated.
