These two are good books, I worked through "Writing an Interpreter in Go" and I liked the approach.

Another really good book is "Crafting Interpreters".

Third edition targeting x64 Linux.

Original title (too long for HN): Teenager rescued from B.C.’s ‘Widowmaker’ after getting stranded using AI instructions.

The video was aired before the sentence was given if I understood correctly, so one could argue the judge may have been influenced one way or the other by the video.

The issue with presenting a fictional video is that it can influence in a way or another the final decision and it can also create a precedent.

If someone wants to watch fiction, it can do it in a more appropriate place and not in a court of law.

I doesn't matter what the AI model said, it was not real. The "victim" was dead and it could not forgive anyone. This "testimony" should not have been allowed in court.

> Bigger problem is that they teach the fundamentals with the abandonware that is turbo pascal instead of using something like the modern Free Pascal Compiler. Which means knowledge of what is possible outside curricula is limited.

FreePascal can compile TP programs with no changes except for the MS-DOS graphics. A student can swap FP for TP and the code will keep running. But yes, I would switch to FP from the start if I were in charge.
