Oh yes, apple hardware continues to improve and M4 pro still the single threaded champion of anything under 300 w. FWIW - last stage where the binary is produced takes the longest and is single threaded and that's the…
I have a mac m4 pro and it's 2 minutes to compile all of Deno, which is my go-to for bigass rust projects. ``` > cargo clean && time cargo build cargo build 713.80s user 91.57s system 706% cpu 1:53.97 total > cargo…
This being Lisa that's -2000 lines in 68k assembler. That's about as verbose as any real PL can ever get. For what it's worth, here's quicksort in 5 lines of haskell…
you're just an end user, you don't have to maintain the suite. In OSS every hour of volunteer time is precious Manna from heaven, flavored with unicorn tears. So any way to remove Toil and introduce automation is gold.…
there were crematoriums falling apart because of constant use. Morgues overflowing with coffins. Three of my direct coworkers died from covid. One guy didn't get his sense of taste back for a year. People just gasping…
jesus, when's 4chan going to turn up here?
I thought Monolith worked on doom95.
that's one ep that sticks out in my mind - hardware hacking to dump a 2600 cartridge and build homebrew development hardware and then reverse engineering to figure out what's what. Also the subtle flex of making the…
There are two versions of Ultima 1, the original has BASIC is basic with assembly and there is a remake in pure assembly. You can definitely tell the improvements the asm version brings with the overworld scrolling…
I wonder what an equivalent "BSD from scratch" is like? Linux was assembled from a collection of parts while BSD is (reputably) a lot more 'designed from the ground up' Even a modern system like Fuchsia - what's that…
Tell that to Q-anon or anyone whose sense of self-worth is derived from being able to see 'The Truth'.
lol the busses don't go through Laurelhurst. why not? Oh, people who ride the bus don't live there.
I interviewed with them prior to the SAP acquisition back in 2017. "We're looking for someone with experience with ASP and database performance improvements." "You mean, ASP.net - not old school VB6 derived, interpreted…
UGH! All this infrastructure and all this work into a software platform and it's something that will be obsoleted in a few years by off the shelf GPUs built on an standard development environment backed by industry…
go lil' electron beam, go! 9000 cycles/s / 1.79 MHz = 0.5% of realtime. The only time you ever see rendering a line at a time is single stepping through an emulator. I wonder if this is how FPGA developers working in…

If you look at Sega or Namco hardware https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Sega_arcade_system_boa... the 2000's and on is just console hardware with upclocked CPU/GPUs and more RAM, or outright x86 + Nvidia Windows PCs…
even the rust-analyzer plugin for plugin for VSCode installs and runs without any fuss, definite improvement from when I last saw it in 2019. Re: apt install - I never trust the OS packages for anything like developer…
It feels l33t to appropriate the terminology of a professional - like "We need to control the optics of the situation" "I flashed my cellphone but it failed and now it's bricked." but the unsophisticated public gets it…
Wizardry, like Lode Runner and Spelunker, is a well beloved old favorite in Japan - appearing on PC and consoles. Lode Runner and Spelunker even have Switch ports. The people who'd worked on the original Dragon Quest…
It's the same as Amiga fanaticism. Hardware is more expensive, software is a lot more arcane. People put a lot of work into getting their computers to work the way they wanted to. iOS is a utility to me, I already have…
I wonder how elm and clojurescript are doing?
this is part of the greater lament of FP languages in industry. You might have to be satisfied with a kind of FP flavored C#, which in newer versions of the language isn't all that bad The thinking is that there's a…
The kernel people can say one thing, userland people can say another. "It compiles, it runs! No smoke tests. libc is busted? oh well, patches welcome!"
