If wasm worked is a pretty big caveat still. DOM APIs are still significantly slower in rust using wasm than pure js last I checked.

We had some "ghosting" on the displays on a few now that you mentioned it, but they were still 100% usable. I guess my expectations were lower since I never had to foot the bill for the lot of em (which at 20k/unit I guess I&

I'm blanking on the exact models I used; I'm fairly certain they were tds700s or tds71xx, but a lab I ran had about a dozen units and we had nothing "fry" in the 4 years I worked there. What applications would result in

Are you implying a direct bug for bug port is more expensive than converting to an intermediate representation and then converting via generators? Depending on the "fidelity" of the representation I'd figure the costs are abo

Many fond memories of using these. Glad someone is keeping them going after 20+ years of service.

I recently performed this exact exercise of converting a complex library set from one language into an intermediate state machine representation and then translated into N other languages. It worked well but there's a lot of caveats. I

As an avid dog owner I ensure my pets have a rich home life. However, at this point in my life I've seen countless pet owners callously fall short of providing even basic pet needs: walks, enrichment activities, etc. (I've fostere

I maintain(ed) node bindings[1] for the old Roomba din OI serial protocol. Although it's targeting the old "create" educational series, it actually works on all Roombas predating the 900 series! [1] https://github.

JRuby is another option for Java interop, although inline types are sorely missed still. TRuby is an interesting project in that regard though

I've been keeping bees for well over a decade now, and Varroa mite management and prevention of downstream disease vectors like deformed wing virus are consuming ever greater amounts of our time and concern in the community. Personally

Analog to digital converters (components generally built-in to uCs and SoCs but you can make them using simple resistor ladders) have common resolution ranging usually from 8bit to 24bit in most consumer hardware. Resolution of +/- 500

not claiming kotlin invented anything, just that after kotlin adopts something and it turns out to be useful, java will come along in a few years and implement it (or avoid it, depending on how it goes)

I still recall when java first came out, its all relative--but sure, a decade can seem like eons in software.

by drzaiusx11 3mo ago
I'm honestly happy with java lang's stewardship over the past decade, this particular JEP notwithstanding (it's fine, but the good parts come later.) They're conservative in adopting new features whereas I see every othe

They just decided to tackle non-nullable value types in a follow-on JEP. I don't think they're saying it's untenable. You don't eat the elephant in one bite and all that. That said, we've been gnawing on this limb f

by drzaiusx11 3mo ago
Am I understanding this correctly: a value type really only works when it fits on a 64 bit "cache line", and when larger, it falls back to normal heap allocated objects as before? Seems extremely limiting, no? Great for a boxing o

Reminds me of my teenage years when I'd echo spooky messages to other folks /dev/pttys to freak them out (messages i sent just magically appeared in their open terminals) Why they didn't lock those down by using differen

I don't hate it. Covers all the bases: 1.1, 2, 3/quic and solves real problems: get query limitations vs body content & post-without-mutation. Yes there are preexisting workarounds, but they're non-obvious.

I switched to a nxtpaper pro phone which has a hardware switch for bw vs color modes and an e-ink like display (not as good but close enough) I love it, mostly because it forces me to use phone less..

Did a bit of digging; the first client gets forked to create the "server". The forked server then detaches and runs in the background. You're right that -x creates an entirely new, separate client process, unrelated to the OG

I didn't say you couldn't have multiple clients, I said clients and servers are the same process forked. Or did someone add distinct client/server support to screen finally? I know theres a lot of stuff bolted onto screen ove

by drzaiusx11 3mo ago
Tmux is n clients to 1 server. Screen is 1 server to 1 client. In screen each client session is a fork of the screen server. In tmux there's one server and many client forks iirc.

Fun fact, Snow Crash was originally written as a video game script (and it shows.)

by drzaiusx11 4mo ago
I enjoyed snow crash probably up until 2/3rds through, same with cryptonomicon. I truly wish he would stick a god damn landing. I don't know what happens after the halfway marks. It's like a different writer takes over and it

Any sufficiently large (preexisting) codebase has subtlties and "load bearing" bugs that allow it to function. In my personal experience, the vibe coded solutions are incapable of delivering "safe" changes outside of any

I've been pulled into these 90% done vibe-coded projects several times now to "get them over the line" and all I have to say is I wouldn't wish it on my greatest enemy.

PCA (using eigenvectors for dimensionsional reduction) is kinda like moving the axis from an x/y/z grid and onto the shape itself. So it's not 2d in the sense of a simple projection where the loss of information is greater. I

by drzaiusx11 4mo ago
Using PCA on 3d shapes is a proven method for identification. It's nothing like phrenology aside from both involving morphology. Former actually works, latter does not.

Maybe I'm just not tapped into the community but I've been a ruby developer going on 6 years now and I find debugging ruby apps no better or worse than any other languages I've worked with over the years. It's fairly eas
