Introduction I created a Game Boy emulator in Ruby and released it as a gem called rubyboy! (I’d be happy if you could give it a star!) And now it runs in the browser using WebAssembly! Try the demo in your browser! Screenshots Rubyでゲームボーイのエミュレータを作りました！ カラー対応やWasmでブラウザ対応もやっていきたい💪 GitHub: https://t.co/hFwmZD6FNp…

One paper that caught my attention a bit ago was Selective attention in hypothesis-driven data analysis by Itai Yanai and Martin Lercher. In their study, students who were given specific hypotheses to test were much less likely to notice an obvious “gorilla in the data” compared to students who explored the data…

When explaining Go to new programmers, I've found that it often helps to explain what Go values look like in memory, to build the right intuition about which operations are expensive and which are not. This post is about basic types, structs, arrays, and slices.

History of the development of my Pascal compiler for transputer when I was age 13.
Ah, Zig . I have a love-hate relationship with this one. A “new” (reading: appeared a couple years ago , already — yes, already ), language with high ambitions. Zig was made to run at low-level, with a simple design to solve many problems C has (macros, allocators, error handling, more powerful types like baked-in…
It is thought that Euclid wrote Elements in about 300 BC, but Oliver Byrne turned it into one of the true gems of visualization — and made it about 100 times more readable. By seamlessly combining typeset text (Caslon, if you’re interested) with minimalist geometric drawings in primary col
Nine is a small, seemingly impossible C64 demo that I released at Fjälldata 2025.
