beyonddream··on He made linear algebra fun
I have listened to his lectures but found it hard to follow his train of thoughts and pace and I am sure I am in the minority :). What worked somewhat is listening to 2x speed.
beyonddream··on Wittgenstein's Ladder
I think parent comment meant that one can’t use the eye to see itself directly without using any intermediaries like mirror or photograph.
beyonddream··on Mildly interesting quirks of C
Thanks!
beyonddream··on Mildly interesting quirks of C
My understanding of how it works is, with constant value, the compiler replaces (x) with the constant 0 and converts (void *) into (int *) which makes the size equality to return true. But I am not entire sure :)

Can someone explain how "A constant-expression macro that tells you if an expression is an integer constant" works ?
beyonddream··on Ask HN: Do you recall any book or course that made a topic finally click?
I miss this book. Beautifully written esp. the chapter on recursion - it introduced many new types of recursion schemes than I was aware of at that time. The only book where I did almost all the exercises!
beyonddream··on Show HN: SnowId – A Decentralized, K-Ordered, 128-bit UUID library in C
Good eye! That was a typo. It should read as "colon notation". It is just a visual representation of 128 bits (16 bytes) with each byte separated by colon ":". I have updated the readme with an example. One place where you will see this notation visually is MAC addresses.

UUID RFC use <timestamp, sequence, node id> layout which is different from the layout of snowid scheme which is <timestamp, node id, sequence>. Also UUID RFC timestamp can only use up-to 60 bits whereas snowid has the full 64 bits to spare. They server different use-cases.

done.
beyonddream··on Ask HN: What are some cool but obscure data structures you know about?
Nm, thanks:)

I think you had not posted the link to the talk!
beyonddream··on People Hacks for Technical Leads
“The idea of "learning styles" is dead in the field of psychology” - can you point some reference or research supporting this claim ?
beyonddream··on A Haskell Compiler – Slides on GHC Implementation (2013)
Click directly on the bottom right corner pagination index to move to next slide. It worked for me.
