They Called It LISP for a Reason: List Processing (2005) 4 years ago
I’ve been meaning to read Practical Common Lisp for some time. Would you recommend this even for complete beginners to Lisp?

Kind of reminds me of the atemoya https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atemoya. Saw it for the first time visiting South America, and it reminded me of a mix between a banana and something citrus. One of the best fruits I’ve ever tasted.
That sounds like an interesting curriculum. Would you mind sharing what program that was?
I wonder what this means for the future of Brax [1].
RISC-V: The New Architecture on the Block 5 years ago
That class looks amazing. Took a higher level computer systems course in undergrad that roughly followed http://csapp.cs.cmu.edu/ (great course).
RISC-V: The New Architecture on the Block 5 years ago
I’ve recently gained an interest in computer architecture and systems programming in general after some high performance computing projects. Have been hearing about RISC-V from a distance, and am wondering if delving into it would be one of the best ways to satisfy this interest and gain some valuable knowledge/skills at the same time.
Leaving the Apple ecosystem behind 5 years ago
I use linux+i3 at work, but personally have a mac. The main thing stopping me from ditching the mac is how convenient it is to swap files/photos between the iphone and mac, whether it’s through icloud or airdrop. Perhaps a nice solution exists for transferring files between iphone and linux, but I haven’t found one.
LimeSDR 5 years ago
Does anyone know if this is more appropriate than the PlutoSDR for hobbyists? Seems like they have similar specs and are around the same price.
Functional Programming in OCaml 5 years ago
This book was my introduction to OCaml, and I followed it concurrently with the Nand2Tetris course. Project 6 of Nand2Tetris [1] has you write an assembler for their hack computer, and OCaml seemed like a perfect fit. Chapter 10 of this book introduces you to parsing and lexing, and it was really fun following along while writing the hack assembler.
Here's an implementation for those interested: https://github.com/senhorsolar/hack-assembler
Do you know if any tutorial exists for SNES emulators? Haven’t been able to find one, and I’ve heard it’s a large step up in difficulty from a NES emulator.
I know that a parallel prefix algorithm [1] can be used to calculate fib(n), since we can use repeated matrix multiplications (a formulation appropriate for a prefix sum algorithm). The computation time can be O(n/p + log p), where p is the number of processors. However, I’m not sure what other approaches there are.
