@Johann150 Any idea what the limitations are of a parser generator in a production compiler? Performance?

@Johann150 That is to ask, why does a production parser need a handwritten parser?

Getting ready to try my hand at implementing my first Forth, on a 68000 (Musashi software core).

My forth successfully compiled its first user-memory word today. I think the core of it is mostly complete and working and I can proceed to add standard words as needed. I've spent a lot of time building a bit of fantasy hardware around this 68000 soft CPU for i/o and such.Next, I think I'll go through some of Starting Forth, implementing all the words used as I go through the book.I'm kind of doing this backwards, making my own forth before I get any experience using one. 😄

I thought you would approve. I'm glad I'm finally getting around to getting some Forth experience. I read Starting Forth a year or two ago and was intrigued.

@vertigo I just ran across your 9P video on SVFIG youtube. Is ForthBox your latest hardware project?

@vertigo Did you develop your own Forth CPU, or use an existing?

Spending the afternoon doing a complete code review of the J1 CPU and cross-assembler. Interesting stuff.

@cstanhope That's the one. I remember coming across it a couple years ago, when I was first looking for examples of verilog CPUs. Now that I'm doing a little forth, I have a stronger interest.

@cstanhope What else is on that list? I may look at a few others in the next week.

@mike Do you think an employer holding that opinion and saying it to the employee directly would be a bad thing? (I understand the message was not direct in this case). I think when the employer-employee relationship is understood by both parties as only a business arrangement, it simplifies things.

@mike I do think there's a place for loyalty in business, but the abuse really starts to happen when one party (I've seen it work in both directions) makes more out of the relationship than should be.This is just what I've seen in general. As with any kind of relationship, there's nuance and different situations.

@mike I think what you're saying is close to what I'm getting at. The "we're a family" trope always sets off my bullshit detector. Most, possibly not all, employers are likely to always act in their best business interests, which imo precludes genuinely demonstrating that they prioritize the employees best interests. Those two things can't be true at the same time.

@werwolf @colinkiama I second the K&R recommendation. It has the advantage of being a very short book, so you can get a good overview of the language very quickly.Before I make recommendations of my own, I'd answer your question with my own questions: why do you want to learn C? Are there specific things you want to do with it?

I'm finding myself wanting to do configuration customization and to try new tools lately, more so than in the last few years.Are there any sites or services that frequently showcase new developer tools and system utilities, with quick introduction and maybe even screenshots? Mostly interested in terminal/CLI things, but that's just because they tend to be more minimalist, not because I dislike GUIs.

Anyone used any of the decentralized live streaming services, like D.Tube? Any opinions on any of them? Furthermore, are there any major centralized live streaming services besides YouTube and twitch?

@Gargron They try to explain it themselves: https://d.tube/#!/wiki/faq/how-does-dtube-workOtherwise, I don't know any more about it than you do. I found it on a list of alternative streaming sites, and used it as an example.

Thank you to everyone who's worked in the worked in the game music and demo music scenes all these years. Thanks for the countless hours of creative work and the great music.
