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…
management could have decided on a process change. Simple as that. I get the sentiment though, "He blew management's mind so much they made an exception for him". But, Folklore.org is a bit less onanistic than ESR's…
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's a reason why people remember kent state.
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…
Digital archive means you won't have to, unless you want to see some yellowing paper.
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…
My local library(US) had a few of these and I'd copied some BASIC programs them onto my Apple //c and didn't know why they didn't work all the time, specifically $CHR or anything involving peek and poke. 8 year old me…
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…
I hear ya. I was in bed for a two days after having my appendix removed and for a few days just walking felt like I was climbing stairs.
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…
