It was night. I had fired up Emacs and was about to write some Common Lisp code to add new features to the msim code. I wanted to add detective and doctor roles. But before I write any code, a big BOOM came. They are using new kind of missles now? It was like a frightening earthquake. Then the second explosion came....
In hashbang Matrix room, there was a discussion and then… I’m not using that software, it’s not written in Rust and therefore it hasn’t got memory safety. It was then that I wrote 3-4 paragraphs in chat. I’m writing the same paragraphs here, with a little better wording and formatting. C/C++ doesn’t mean memory...
Yeah. And I learned valuable lessons to not mess up again. People often blame those who make mistakes. And that we should never assign them a task anymore. But who doesn’t make mistakes? What’s important, is learning and not repeating the same mistake. If he made a mistake, he also has learned a lesson. And people...
People following me development activies might sometimes wonder where did Farooq go. During the last 12 months, we had many major events in Iran. And thanks to the fantastic regime we have got in here, we were disconnected from the World for some periods. They closed the Internet on us. Why? That needs another post....
I agree I’ve been acting like an LLM when generating this poem! once upon a time there was Python my prime everything was simple slow and grimple Kai came later Front came after it was to blossom jump up to the moon but not yet, no there was something I needed to know It was safe, it was fast It was a new one, it...
Iran’s regime kept us in darkness for so long, closing the doors of Internet on us, and heavily censoring DeltaChat instances within Iran. They do not want people to exchange information among themselves inside Iran. And they also want to block the information flow to and from Iran. I total agree the Iran regime is...
Backlog I think it was like 2020 or 2019 when I learned about E-book readers. I’ve grown up with books. And I wanted to become a Computer Scientist. Back then, I bought a BOOX Poke Pro, a 6" Android e-book reader from BOOX. Afterwards, for the next one, I bought a BOOX Leaf which is bigger and 7". And I still have...
So here comes the second linkdump, or really, the first one as I have started from 0! Software Boids in the Blue: A very interesting KDE add-on which you can use as both your normal wallpaper and your SDDM lockscreen wallpaper. It’s an aquarium simulation, except that the fish will become nervous if your PC is under...
There is someone named Andreas who has got a blog. And he has some posts named “Linkdumps” which have a collection of links to interesting stuff he finds. Inspired from him, I’m doing the same. And this is the “0th” link dump. Linkdumps are going to be in the “Misc” category of my website. As they are not tied to...
TLDR: We want to decompile a binary code, into the byte equivalent C code. We look at this from an optimization viewpoint. We have a generated C code(or AST) and we want to optimize it so when we compile it, it is equivalent to the binary code, byte by byte. And I think it’s better to use a population based...
