Some C debug macros
/*
* A collection of three macros for debugging: DEBUG, WARN, ERROR.
*
* All three take a variable number of arguments and match the format of the
* printf family of functions. For example:
* WARN("The value of n is %d\n", n);
*
* All three are disabled if NDEBUG is defined, just like assert.

Emulating a 4-Bit Virtual Machine in (TypeScript\JavaScript) (just Types no Script)

A compile-time 4-Bit Virtual Machine implemented in TypeScript's type system. Capable of running a sample 'FizzBuzz' program.

Syntax emits zero JavaScript.

type RESULT = VM<

A Gentle Introduction to Prepack, Part 1

Note:

When this guide is more complete, the plan is to move it into Prepack documentation.
For now I put it out as a gist to gather initial feedback.

A Gentle Introduction to Prepack (Part 1)

If you're building JavaScript apps, you might already be familiar with some tools that compile JavaScript code to equivalent JavaScript code:

  • Babel lets you use newer JavaScript language features, and outputs equivalent code that targets older JavaScript engines.

Things to commit just before leaving your job
// Just before switching jobs:

// This started as a tweet with a joke of "C++ pro-tip: #define private public",
// and then it quickly escalated into more and more evil suggestions.
// I've tried to capture interesting suggestions here.
