Oh. Idk if my poll question about AI, AGI and ML is worded most effectively. But would love it if you'd retoot. (Top of thread.)
For the record... I dont trust these AI companies out here to protect humanity or have our best interests in mind. But that's something I could possibly discuss in comics or zines.
Just... gauging knowledge before I run my mouf talking about ish.

Programming a 144-computer Chip to Minimize Power
Chuck Moore discusses what it takes to program a 144-core asynchronous chip that consumes only 7 pJ/inst, the idle cores taking just 100 nW while the active ones need 4mW running at 666 Mips: tight coding to minimize the number of instructions executed, reducing instruction fetches, transistor switching, and duty cycle.

Q: How do I learn Django?
A: Skip the books. Django is not something you learn by solving theoretical puzzles. It is a framework meant for solving real needs. The best way to learn it is to concentrate on a small business idea, and jump right into it. Understanding the business and product needs will drive the rest of the process. The more you intertwine Django’s concepts with real world needs, the better.

Spotify's shuffle algorithm feels more random, even if the shuffling does not yield a truly randomized ordering of songs.
They did this because their original algorithm that truly randomized the order of the songs didn't quite feel random to listeners, and this was due to two songs from the same artist playing back-to-back, giving the illusion that the playlist has not truly shuffled. It just does not feel random to them.

I always thought that doctests were an evolution of literate programming pioneered by Donald Knuth. However, reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literate_programming again, I now see that it's explicitly called out that literate programming is about the ability to form a program from a web of smaller pieces. Importantly, this web does not have to follow the structure of the finished program.
I have not actually tried to do #literate #programming — is there anybody here who have experience with it?

Dear reader, I fucked up writing a doubly-linked list insert function. I am a professional software engineer. I've done this professionally for 25 years and for fun for longer.
Due to a stupid mistake I made very early in the project, I had to change a Class name, code file name and all corresponding references and test cases. Boy, what a chore.

I was using #Eclipse nearly 20 years ago now and its Java refactoring was FAR superior to what VS Code has.
It might be a Python vs Java thing, but some of it is simple stuff like "extract variable" extracting _all_ instances in scope, or being able to rearrange function arguments.

I just published a new coding project on github!
This is an early exploration of what I call an “epigenetic algorithm.” It’s inspired by an observation: in living cells, the process of evolution is actively managed by the cell, which itself is an evolved mechanism. Using evolution to optimize evolution seems like a powerful trick, so I’m trying to reproduce it in small-scale AI experiments. I hope to make evolutionary computing more open-ended, more successful in vast search spaces, and less biased by the programmer. In this case, I’m generating cool looking Game of Life simulations, but I hope to find many more practical applications in the future.
I hope folks find this interesting, and I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

Spicy take: If your software development team is using Prettier, you should set it to indent with tabs, not spaces.
That makes it easy for everyone to set whatever indentation depth they want, and even adjust it if they feel the need. Someone who can pick out a 4-column indent better than 2 will have trouble reading that "indented with 2 spaces" stuff, but tabs let everyone coexist.

Here are valuable resources on #eBPF to guide you from beginner to advanced levels:
- First, watch this #documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wb_vD3XZYOA. This video will motivate you to learn about eBPF.
- Following that, view one of the guests, Liz Rice, from the aforementioned documentary, showcasing the eBPF 'Hello World!' program at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBqRv8bDroc. In brief, eBPF is an in-kernel virtual machine where user space programs can run. In this video, she codes the eBPF hello program in #C, loads it into the #kernel with the assistance of another program written in #Go, and there is much more covered in the video. The presentation slides are accessible at https://speakerdeck.com/lizrice/beginners-guide-to-ebpf-programming-with-go
- Following that, you can delve into one of the reports by Liz Rice herself titled 'What is eBPF?'. The report is available for free download at https://isovalent.com/books/ebpf/. In this insightful document, the author covers topics ranging from understanding the eBPF program, the advantages of eBPF over a #Linux kernel module, the process of crafting user and kernel space code for eBPF programs, attaching an eBPF program to various kernel events, the portability of eBPF programs across kernel versions with CO-RE (compiled once and run everywhere), eBPF's role in the cloud, and an exploration of various eBPF tools.
- I also recommend the second book from the same author, titled 'Learning eBPF', available for free and legally downloadable from https://isovalent.com/books/learning-ebpf/. This practical book covers topics in-depth, featuring a 'Hello World!' program in chapter 3 where both kernel and user space programs are entirely written in C. This provides a comprehensive understanding of what unfolds behind the scenes during eBPF program execution. Additionally, there is a dedicated chapter focusing on eBPF #Programming.
Additional Resources:

Well, each maintainer needs to do what works for them, of course, but personally the worst experiences I've ever had contributing to open source projects have been the ones that accept patches by email. I've been driven away from multiple projects by the sheer difficulty of understanding changes and following discussions in that workflow.
Some handle it better than others, but still, for me, no email-based workflow approaches the ease of use and clarity of something like #Github or #Gitlab.
