I have a RiscPC in the shed and a half-repaired A3000. I don't fire them up them often, but both have !Director launching on boot; it is a wonderful program. Thanks!

> The primary goal of this is support for old/obscure hardware with no LLVM/GCC support. There are still some systems out there that don't support Rust but support C. The landing p…

There goes my coding assistant (removed by US gov't). It was useful while it lasted. (eye-roll) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48511072

My personal experience of Fable 5 doing its own thing has been very positive. I was trying to find the root cause of a crash in a Python module which left no errors in the log or c…

Greg Egan writes novels with plots that revolve around high-end science, physics and mathematics with some very wild concepts and conclusions. Even better, he has animations and il…

“Sent from my iPhone” is a default signature, but you can change the message under Settings -> Apps -> Mail -> Signature (at the bottom of the options page)

My /usr/bin/ folder wants to know which bit gets italicised :)

Very impressive that I can sketch a character in the top-left and get a close match. That's a real highlight showing that there's more going on under the hood than a big look-up ta…

I love the photo of the probe, and I bet it's very expensive. I wonder if the "A071626" sticker changes the impedance of the traces enough for you to notice :) https://www.mattkeet…

Thanks, I get it now.

I took a look at the https://tvnfo.com/ site and I have no idea what's behind the donation wall. Can I suggest you have a single page which explains or demonstrates the content, or…

I had to replay that to appreciate how the transitions from night to day were done so very, very well. The dynamic range of the shots always seemed spot on. That isn't easy to get …

Yes, IP usage is awkward and tricky. You can use the GUI to make the initial .xci file or .tcl file, but when you build a project, you need to use the same version of Vivado that t…

I've managed to make nice 'make' flows for Vivado, ISE, Quartus and DC. Libero took a bit more poking, but it's also possible. The GUI interfaces are what newcomers tend to aim for…

# Here's the general flow for Vivado TCL projects that takes you from source code to a bit-file with no interaction. Read UG835 for details. create_project -in_memory -part ${PART}…

This article is a rant about how bad tools are without going into specifics. "VHDL and Verilog are relics", well so is "C" but they all get the job done if you've been shown how to…

LMStudio? No, it's the easiest way to run am LLM locally that I've seen to the point where I've stopped looking at other alternatives. It's cross-platform (Win/Mac/Linux), detects …

OK, I take it back now that the HN hug has died off a bit. Bruno's site is a ridiculously neat thing to see in a web browser.

I can't see Bruno's site and I assume it's because of the HN hug of death, but an impressive 3D website that always comes to mind is acko.net, with its 3D rendered tubular logo. He…

In the past, I'd find one wrong answer and I could easily spot the copies. Now there's a dozen different sites with the same wrong answer, just with better formatting and nicer tex…

I have to do tech support for grandma. Every few years, her Windows laptop gets so slow that we get her a new one. This time I will test out a switch to Linux instead of buying a n…

Just a warning that the video ends with a loud, high pitched tone that will make you want to rip your headphones off. Ironic for a video about hearing.
