NO$GBA is written in assembly language?! I can't believe it.

…only if you actually force the LLM not to use `unsafe` somehow! And one must remember that `unsafe` can have all sorts of non-local effects. One way to be maliciously compliant (o…

An LLM definitely can do that work, but LLMs have a tendency to follow the path of least resistance unless you force them to do things properly and carefully supervise them.

Rust contains the ability to do everything that C can, if you use `unsafe`. And a file-by-file rewrite in Rust from another language usually involves keeping the ABI and API betwee…

I wish there were a shorthand for x git commit --amend --reset-author --no-edit I use that one very frequently (after a fixup, of course) because I want the author date on amended …

Techrights are hard to take seriously, the site's author has such a bad case of that polemic tendency that he lost a libel case because he wouldn't stop harassing someone ( https:/…

If my eyes don't deceive me, the upscaling is happening post-dithering, which I think is a shame.

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/halflife on the other hand is the full Half-Life (GoldSrc) engine, but it's not quite an open license.

And Meta have made their social media platforms anti-social. Once upon a time, Facebook was primarily a place to keep up with your friends. But now it's trying to divert you away f…

Forcing social media apps to have a less addictive design is a much better way to protect young people's brains than a social media age limit is (and frankly adults need help here …

Isn't 誘惑 more like “allure, temptation, seduction”?

A few years ago, I signed up for an Apple Watch eSIM plan (which is a special type of eSIM plan that Apple make cell carriers agree to offer as an add-on to a normal cell subscript…

If you're going to throw AI at the problem, couldn't you get it to port the real Windows CE shell ?

If I have to look at yet another website with this same fucking AI-generated theme I'm gonna have to kill somebody.

I²S is a remarkably simple design. There's no protocol handshakes, it's just raw PCM. I like how it's designed so sender and receiver can use totally different sample bit-depths (i…

The “Table of Contents” in the article ( https://mainmatter.com/c-to-rust-migration-book/ ) looks like the very basic stuff and not especially interesting, but then the headings in…

In my experience the amount of buffering you get for USB MIDI seems to be highly variable. I've had incredibly frustrating problems with mysteriously vanishing commands with two di…

The OP's article and replies in the comments here seem like someone who's comparing an idealised view of what Bluesky could be versus a cynical view of what Mastodon currently is. …

I've always thought the JR logo looked like 駅, the kanji for “train station”, and assumed it was deliberate. Perhaps that was a factor in them settling on the JR name?

Anubis doesn't rely on spying on the user.
