Paged Out Issue #8 [pdf] (pagedout.institute)

Yes! Just started reading the table of contents, and already I'm feeling that joy of old-school creative computing. Revival of the culture of personal computers and programming as a technology of liberation. A better future is possible and the power is in our hands.

> Query based compilers are all the rage: Rust, Swift, Kotlin, Haskell, and Clang all structure their compilers as queries.

I've never heard of this. It's a pity the article doesn't go into details.

It is a double edged sword of the single page layout that you really have to make one point briefly and get out of there. I had to pare down many details to fit the layout.

If you want to learn more about query based compilers as a concept, I highly recommend ollef's aritcle: https://ollef.github.io/blog/posts/query-based-compilers.htm...

If you want to learn how to implement a query based compiler, I have a tutorial on that here: https://thunderseethe.dev/posts/lsp-base/ (which I also highly recommend but that might be more obvious since I wrote it)

I feel like this tweet suggests that the PDF is a polyglot or an embedded second PDF.

Initial impressions says no about being that file a polyglot.

If you like polyglot files, see https://www.alchemistowl.org/pocorgtfo/

I love Paged Out -- it's basically the only modern equivalent to 1980s BYTE or Dr. Dobbs Journal today.

There's also Proof Of Concept Or GTFO edited by Pastor Manuel LaPhroaig https://github.com/angea/pocorgtfo

Boy, PoC||GTFO is my favorite "magazine".

No, not giving spoilers except there might be some polyglot files.

They've got a new web viewer in this issue that can be used to link to individual articles and might be nicer than reading a PDF on some screens: https://pagedout.institute/webview.php?issue=8&page=1

The article I submitted (page 64) has an HTML tag in the title, and seems to have broken the web viewer :(

Note that you can link to pages in a PDF with a hash like #page=64 (for example) in the URL.

Thank you. I love the wallpapers of Paged Out and always set it as my default wallpaper on MacOS.
