My view is this isn't sufficent. They're pretty good at breaking out of stuff. A VM would be the minimal isolation boundary for me.

Hi Kenton! One thing I'm wondering about (and was happy to see) is how you seem to have your (childhood) friends close by, at least on occasion. I live in Europe and am considering what a move somewhere else in Europe (+/- 1000km)

On Linux, "self" is /proc/self/exe. In general, I've seen people use `os.Args[0]`. But on checking again, I see there's even `os.Executable()` ( https://pkg.go.dev/os#Executable ) for this p

+1, I like to test in a similar way. For example if I'm making a CLI, the test will spawn the CLI for each test-case, instead of invoking the code directly. This provides a more realistic flow, and makes it clear which user journeys on

My favourite Delphi program, and the one I learned to program with, was Dev-C++ ( https://sourceforge.net/projects/dev-cpp ). AFAIK there is a more recent fork, but I also clearly recall the 4.9.9.? versoin number from b

Reminds me of VirGL [1] and Venus [2], which I think do something similar for OpenGL and Vulkan. I use this with Baguette/Crostini on ChromeOS to get some light gaming done. Works very well [3]. [1]: https://docs.mesa3d.org&

Much more resource heavy. I tried NixOS and Bazzite (and other spins purporting to be lighteweight) and the difference on a 2010-era mid-range laptop was noticeable in terms of sluggishness. Not that this laptop was going to be my daily dri

Yea, both Westpark itself and the open-air cinema inside the park are stellar. It surprises me that no-one has mentioned Munich's premier city park though: the English Garden (Englischer Garten): https://maps.app.goo.gl&#x2F

I have the same question. It seems like a decent amount of posters here don't require (non-standard) interactivity. Plain HTML+CSS (perhaps via static site generators) would work. It made me think about the Javascript present on my bl

Respect. I hope to find the strength to be more like that. Also to give a better example to others. I notice making the screen go grayscale (can configure volume up+down to do this in android) already makes doom-anything much less long-live

I lot of people echoing the same sentiment. It made me recall a quote from early 2026 that made waves in a few programming communities ( https://x.com/ThePrimeagen/status/2026771192191824108 ). Quote: ...i hate the

I think Neovim itself has been stabilizing quite a bit in terms of upgrade breakage. A common reason for breakage is/was: - Neovim changes some API (deprecating, ...). - User upgrades Neovim and theres some incompability, OR user

Spot on. Heaven forbid it turns into a C++ (I'm not a Rust practitioner but from the outside it seems to accrete features pretty quickly as well). The ease of grokking Go (both reading and writing) are big advantages, and facilitated b

I remember when we still had tcc in Neovim CI. I think it got removed eventually for being too much of a burden to maintain. How are slimcc/kefir different/easier to drop in?

What were your (main) problems with Kodi? AFAIK it is written in C++ with Python plugins. Electron would be (on the face) a downgrade yes. But how is a Lua app much smoother? (My personal pet peeve is that Kodi still doesn't know how t
