Ten years ago, I made a very stupid website: a public chat that anyone can join, where you can communicate only in morse code, by tapping a single button. Since then, I've been surprised to see a large community grow around it. More an

i feel that most of my problems in this space would be solved with better "fuzzy" search integration in obsidian. Some sort of local rag on my daily notes would be very effective. do you know if such a project already exists?

There is an existing project that tracks and gather syscalls in the linux kernel, for all ABIs: https://github.com/mebeim/systrack . The author maintains a table here, which is incredibly useful: https://sys

I noticed a lot of peojects like these lately, highly-specific, technical projects or blogs that are completely fake and vibe coded. I wonder what people think they will get out of this. You might get hired as a generic web developer if you

It's an interpreter, but it does support JIT to x64 and arm. There are some details here: https://github.com/jart/blink/?tab=readme-ov-file#technical-... On the x64-playground website it's just running a

This is mostly an educational tool, and it's intentionally designed to present data in a similar way to GDB. The idea is that students will use this tool to learn basic assembly concepts without the extra friction of GDB, and when they

Nice to see my playground trending! All of this is essentially made possible by the blink engine by @jart: https://github.com/jart/blink/ Which is an x86-64-linux emulator written in a few kb of c code. There is n

This is a good point. I guess that if you have the luxury of controlling the front-end side of the web application you can implement a system that polls the server routinely. Over time this will give you a clearer picture. You can notice th

What kind of websites do you have in mind when I talk about fraud patterns? not everything is a static website, and I absolutely agree with you on that point: If your static website is struggling under the load of a scraper there is somethi

I guess the blame is on me here for providing only a very brief context on the topic, which makes it sound like this is just anti-scraping solutions. This kind of fingerprinting solutions are widely used everywhere, and they don't have

This is a problem because unlike cookies, that are tied to specific domains and isolated by security boundaries, fingerprints can be computed across any domain. It's easy to imagine how a website that tracks users and serves ads solel

If all you want to do is compile and run c code in the browser you could run tcc in the blink x86_64 emulator, running in wasm. It would take ~300Kb, less than the js & css used in the average webpage

Absolutely! You can even run clang in wasm targeting x86_64, and then emulate the resulting program using the blink x86_64 emulator. I'm working on something similar, where students can compile intel assembly and run it client-side: h
