It is with great remorse that we mark the passing of programming language pioneer and A.M. Turing Laureate Niklaus Wirth, who passed away on Jan 1, 2024. Wirth developed a sequence of innovative computer languages, EULER, ALGOL-W, MODULA and PASCAL, which provided a foundation…
@TimSweeneyEpic Pulled these off the bookshelf.
Wirth was the creator of Pascal, and part of the earlier Algol group that in 1957 defined the foundations of modern programming languages. “Power through simplicity, simplicity through generality” was the name of the game. He made programming better for everyone.

Pascal was my second programming language, and the first I started making meaningful learning steps with. One of my first released software "Universal Rom Launcher" (URL) circa 1997 was a text-mode DOS frontend written with Turbo Pascal 7.0: miracleworld.net/url/

100% true if you copy-paste code directly from ChatGPT to your product. Adds random null pointers traps and similar. Better to ask AI to generate example code snippets and code it yourself. And look at the API docs while doing it to understand the semantics.

Apple’s “Learn Metal with C++” samples are a good starting point for learning metal-cpp. But they weren’t available on iOS. So I wrote an extension that exposes “just enough” UIKit to C++. This is the first example of 100% C++ Metal on iOS I’m aware of: github.com/metal-by-examp…
“If it were possible, someone would have done it by now” is the antithesis of all progress. Sometimes history depends upon you becoming the first to do the thing.
Remember - code is for PEOPLE to read, not machines. If the only reason we wrote code was to get machines to do stuff, we'd still be writing assembly. Languages were invented so that PEOPLE could read the code too. Never forget that's who you're writing code for.

The Philippine eagle is considered the largest of the extant eagles in the world in terms of length and wing surface. Being a critically endangered species, killing a Philippine eagle is punishable under Philippine law up to 12 years in prison [read more: buff.ly/2lKrawh]

Here's a photo of Saturn I captured using a 14" telescope from my backyard last week. Since we're so close to "opposition", the planet barely casts a shadow on the rings any more. That shadow will completely disappear in 2 weeks, when the planet is directly opposite the sun.
This is the last photo taken from the surface of Venus, 40 years ago. The Venera-14 lander reached the surface in 1982, lasting 52 minutes in Venus' temperature of 450°C (847°F).
@lemire The need of good programmers will not decrease. The problem might be for many programmers that their time is spent debugging AI generated code bugs instead of writing good code themselves. Happened to many of our senior artists too when we started outsourcing. Polish shitty art.
Two requests: Don't invent new languages, don't publish them as open source to later turn them proprietary once they reach critical adoption.

So I managed to make webgpu-native work on MacOS (had to link a plethora of frameworks), and I have the holy triangle. ~200 loc, 4x less than Vulkan, yet still a clean API without 30 years of legacy. Enjoying it a lot right now
