Compiling Dinner

Compiling Dinner When you read a recipe, you’re already programming. Ingredients are inputs. Actions—chop, stir, simmer—are instructions. The kitchen is your runtime environment, and you, the cook, are the processor. If you follow the recipe to the letter, you get the expected output: a finished dish. Miss a step, and you’ve introduced a bug. Burn the onions, and you’ve hit a runtime error. Seen this way, recipes are languages, and cooking is compilation. ⸻ Recipes as Grammar A recipe might

End of an era as the last 11-inch MacBook Air is now officially obsolete

The last 11-inch MacBook Air model ever made has now been declared officially obsolete by Apple, some nine years after it was last sold by the company. The smallest of Apple’s MacBooks had long proved a popular choice with many, for two different reasons … First, it was the cheapest MacBook and bought by many of those who were buying their first ever Mac. But it also had a very strong following from those who liked the ultra-portability of the device. I was one of those who bought it for the

Intel Patents 'Software Defined Supercore'

If the technology works as it is designed to, then Intel's future CPUs could offer faster single-thread performance in select applications that can use SDC.

A while ago, Apple used to include a software feature with macOS on older iMac models. It was called Target Display Mode, and it allowed you to turn an iMac into an external display once your iMac was too dated to be a usable computer.

Touted As The Tesla-Killer, Lucid Scrambles to Stay On The NASDAQ
