@cwebber @acousticmirror @hugoestr @IngaLovinde David Chisnall posits that modern CPUs are basically accelerators for C so why not add some alternatives?

Out of interest how many folk self host their git repo rather than use regular platforms such as GitHub or SourceHut for example ? IF you do what are you using ?

How do you design a CPU for functional languages like Haskell?

Use a stackmachine where the function referenced by each head is popped with a given number of arguments copying the referenced function body into its place on the stack with argument references replaced & relative references resolved.

Opcodes are added for arithmatic, with ints shuffling the stack to ensure they're fully resolved before the arithmatic.

This has been prototyped on FPGAs!

Hey Fedi, do you know if there is a federated (perhaps even #ActivityPub-powered) cooking recipe hosting service? If not, let's 👏 make 👏 this 👏 happen!

I hate modern recipe websites. All of them are full with ads and tracking. The leading recipe hosting in my country loads over 30 different trackers, and that's excluding the ads!

@logan If you want to know more about AI safety, I'd highly recommend the series Computerphile did on the subject:

There's a bunch more in the series, and also on Rob Miles channel.

Here's a fun experiment. Paste this into your browser's developer console:

window.addEventListener('keydown', () => { if (Math.random() < .1) event.preventDefault(); })

This will randomly drop 10% of your key presses.

See how long you can work with this before you lose your mind.

@bchhun@mastodon.social @alcinnz@floss.social .NET is certainly better than Electron, but I'm still looking for an option that binds well to my personal favorite language (Rust)... 😔
