Every January, Kodak announces yet another price increase on their film stock offerings. A roll of Kodak Portra 400 in 35mm is now over $20. Developing and scanning is more than $30. Shooting film seems more and more expensive. However, compared to what it used to cost, it’s still cheap. My parents were telling me that in the 1990s, in Czechia, a middle-of-the-road colour film, and then processing and printing would cost $240 in today’..

MoonScript (a language with a CoffeeScript-like syntax that transpiles to Lua) continues to be the most enjoyable programming language I have ever used. It’s not the most practical choice for everything; I probably would choose something else for a big collaborative project. But it’s an absolute joy to use something that truly feels like “executable pseudocode”, like a simpler Python alternative with a bias towards functional programming..

What's the point in learning cool computer science ideas if I am absolutely never going to end up using them in real life? I've been learning rust and systems programming during work hours while working at some boring help desk internship where I don't do anything most of the day. I loved going through SICP, I love programming language theory and algebra and low level systems programming... but what's the fuarrrking point? Every job ad i....

Hello, it’s me again. This will be my third or fourth attempt at writing blog posts. I’m hoping that this time my efforts will be more successful and last longer.

Introduction In episode 1, Miki had two functions that performed the similar operation, but returned different types. To refactor this, Miki rewrote both functions as a generic function that allowed him to specify the type to be returned during invocation. In some cases, the compiler may not recognise a type, thus, Miki gives a few pointers on manually telling a generic function which type to use. After demonstrating how to return differen..

I fell into a rabbit whole the other day and was procrastinating on modern mysteries and search and rescue stories which I’d like to document here. It’s really interesting as a data point about our modern civilization, where we often get the fe..
