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 …

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 sys…

I figured that articles like folklore are like an amusing movie file (say someone chopping a skin of a watermelon) that's repeatedly being passed around reddit.

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…

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 https://stacko…

"Seems like a waste of effort" in a vacuum yes, but 1 - GNU utilities is ancient crufty #IFDEF'd C that's been in maintenance mode for decades. You want code to handle quirks of Tr…

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 …

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…

jesus, when's 4chan going to turn up here?

I'm kind of surprised that after all these years TF2 and Source are still separate entities. Like, is there any TF2-only code in Source that only runs if TF2 is the current mod?

I thought Monolith worked on doom95.

"3. your green field project growing into legacy project." You do all this upfront design about how it's going to work and then "Oh god there's so many splinters and sharp corners,…

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.…

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 b…

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 mode…

Tell that to Q-anon or anyone whose sense of self-worth is derived from being able to see 'The Truth'.

They built a Go store into their office in Bellevue,WA - it's got the freezers and shelves but it hasn't opened. They built a Four Star store into their HQ in Seattle, and they clo…

I think my time is better spent improving my build and deployment environments instead of something like customizing my text editor. More of my work is in tying command line utilit…

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 - …

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 i…

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 developm…
