Wow, that is unbelievably degenerate. I'll never understand how someone can pidgeon-hole themselves into an identity like that.

Wow, I was wondering if e.g. Ghostty could implement something like this but that's cool it's already proven out. Does everything still go "through" tmux (so parsing etc. is still done twice), or does iTerm handle most o

So am I identifying the bottlenecks that motivate this design correctly? 1. Go FFI is slow 2. Per-proto generated code specialization is slow, because of icache pressure I know there's more to the optimization story here, but I guess t

Where are all of the upvotes and comments?!? I love this and 2swap's other work so much. Btw, I believe this entire video is animated with custom C++: https://github.com/2swap/swaptube

Tried starting a "run every day for a year" initiative last year. Wish it was for me, after 42 days I realized that I actually actively despise running and spend most of my time not running dreading the next one. Easiest habit I&#

Thanks for this! I was quickly able to find some interesting new and niche types of things to read, in contrast to what my normal strolls through news.ycombinator and hckrnews give me.

A couple weeks ago, one of my physical stick of RAM completely stopped working after yet another Linux out-of-memory-force-poweroff situation. No idea if that could be the proper cause, but I do find it a little funny. I just arrived at thi

I'm not exactly sure the monoculture argument is valid for Windows vs. Linux though; Linux still dominated server usage while Windows was attacked more often, despite the fact that you could potentially reap a much greater reward infec

I'm also building a computer and just purchased an i7 9700K for $400. I also wonder what the equivalent-performance AMD processor would be given the performance loss of these patches. Unfortunately it's a bit late to back out with

Mario 64 romhacks are sometimes distributed as patches to the original game instead of the complete modified game as well, and since it's just a diff it's not subject to copyright.

Nice reference! On Linux I have a keybinding which opens a terminal with a fzf listing of my password entries. when I select the name I want, it types the password with xdotool into whatever is focused. I bet it's just as fast if not f

Interesting, it's the opposite for me. If I'm feeling rotten, unmotivated, unproductive, and guilty about it, I'll tend to stay up later because my "self-discipline for the day" will feel eroded and I'll want t

Preventing unnecessary deaths of children is not exactly in the same class of severity as preventing a computer from running malicious code in my opinion.

I originally used an Xbox controller as a case, but the hardware was my own. Eventually I ended up putting everything inside a Raspberry Pi case. Inside I put a protoboard with an Arduino and a radio module which communicates with the radio

Interesting, I've never noticed that before. I would guess it's a lens artifact, since it seems to move depending on where the sun is in the frame.

Yes, my use of jankest is possibly 100% contrived. Also, I recently added a comment with a photo album if you are interested!

Hi, I'm the creator! Thank you all for your thoughtful comments. Some of you wanted a photo album of the journey; I quickly collected one here [0]. Apologies for duplicates, no descriptions, and Google. The full album shows a lot more

Blue light blocking glasses have had such a tremendously positive effect on my sleep habits (earlier bedtime, better sleep quality) that at this point I genuinely feel bad for people who don't use them. I got a pair that claims to bloc

No worries, it wasn't dumb to say that! Your intention just wasn't 100% clear to me.

I'm also in the situation where I'd like to try to reverse binaries for the custom PowerPC chips in Gamecube/Wii/Wii U. I'm wondering if it might be easier to rewrite the assembly such that the SIMD instructions are

I believe Capstone is merely a disassembly framework, and retdec's decompilation process is custom implementation which works on LLVM IR.

I wonder how this compares to retdec, an open source cross-architecture decompiler by Avast. https://github.com/avast-tl/retdec

I've taken "porting" to equally mean either. Besides, porting to another language is in a good sense "porting to another platform".

I don't get it. If you don't feed your child, it's child abuse. Why is not providing vaccines any different? Why isn't this something you can make a CPS neglect case out of?

After the inbox debacle I decided I didn't want to use Gmail and am now a happy Mailspring user. If it could just implement Google inbox's sweep function, it would be perfect.
