IIUC, yes, all the kernels involved run directly on the hardware, in a "cooperative" way, i.e. they must agree on not touching others' memory regions. I think the architecture assumes all loaded kernels are trusted, and impos

Yeah that part of the article put a big smile on my face. I did the same thing back in college, when I was in a lab. We wanted to do some research on Wi-Fi signals, and I happened to own a bunch of Wi-Fi adaptors produced by SomeSmallTech C

Built on top of Owl Lisp[1]. TIL about this dialect, and it looks interesting! Instead of native threads, it has continuation-based threads[2], and it seems the whole VM architecture is based on that. [1]: https://haltp.org/

> An offset would be nice, though I'm sure it's not easy to define a heuristic that works in all places. I agree. I considered dynamic offsets, in an effort to declutter the labels, but found it even more confusing. Maybe I sho

It seems your right alt key is actually the AltGr key. I didn't explicitly support AltGr in Jwno, so it freaked out. Sorry for the confusion. I think switching to another leader key, such as LAlt or RCtrl, should fix the issue.

Thanks! I created a tracking issue here: https://github.com/agent-kilo/jwno/issues/12 Meanwhile you can try to change leading `RAlt` to something else, like `Win + H`, and see if it works. There may be a bug

> Having tiling options that fit within a smaller part of the screen (e.g. still allow side by side or top/bottom split, but in a smaller total region) would be great. Do you mean reserving screen space for the on-screen keyboard? I

A fellow StumpWM user! My StumpWM is heavily customized though, and I mostly modeled Jwno's behavior after my own config, so it may not be what you expected at all. But that's one of the reasons I like Lisp and things built in Lis

Sorry for the confusion. Multi-monitor support is only briefly mentioned in the docs[1] and the interactive tutorial[2]. Jwno's internal data structure has these levels (higher-level comes first): Root - Virtual Desktops - Monitors - N

TBH I dived right in when I decided I should build something with Janet, and didn't really consider any alternatives. Now you mentioned it, I think Janet's simplicity and conciseness played a large part in attracting me to it, com

Thanks for posting the link! It's a quick-and-dirty PoC with lots of caveats and limitations though. E.g. it works only for a single monitor. I don't think we can clip windows to a "view port" on Windows (the OS), so thi

I think these are the most obvious differences between the two: * By default, Komorebi uses dynamic tiling, while Jwno uses manual tiling. * Komorebi has workspaces, Jwno works with Windows native virtual desktops instead. * Komorebi uses I

I think Janet is quite...liberal? It's a practical language, but doesn't force a specific paradigm on you. There're "escape hatches" in different levels of the language, and I like that. Maybe the most "opinion

I find the REPL and interactive development workflow invaluable. A window manager is a long-running background service by nature, and has a lot of accumulated runtime states. The ability to peek inside and debug while the process keeps runn

Thanks for the kind words! It means a lot coming from you :)

Definitely! I got great inspirations from both of the Komorebi and GlazeWM communities. People who like tidy desktops are definitely nice people :)

Interesting. I didn't know about Nimony. I'm still not sure what a compiler plugin is though, after reading the scarce discussion in the forum thread. Erlang's parse transform comes to my mind. Is it something similar?

The article states that "pager daemons" that manage swap files runs in user space, and the kernel memory can also get swapped out, but never explained how a user space daemon swaps out kernel memory. Do they have hard-coded except

Reminds me of Phrack [0]. I learnt all the stuff I know about the ELF format and some low-level debugger shenanigans there, and implemented my own PLT hook back then, good times. [0]: https://phrack.org/

Haha I had the exact same thought when I saw the title. That said, the new car looks very much like an "electrified" Golf, which is one of the first cars I drove, and I have fond memories about it. The new car may succeed if they

Yeah that's true, but I haven't really experienced the Apollo era personally. After the "gap" between the old space race, and the new race inspired by private space agencies, I do feel we are getting closer, to the moon

Congrats to everyone involved! I planned to watch the live stream but wasn't able to. The moment of successful landing was quite modest, only a mostly-static screen with telemetrics was shown to the public, but it absolutely felt magic

Yeah these days I just go to LiveATC and start my own choice of music before I start my day. I used LofiATC and it gave me this hobit. Judging by what happened to LofiATC though, it seems LiveATC was not fond of this kind of things.
