For lightweight sandboxing on Linux you can use bubblewrap or firejail instead of Docker. They are faster and _simpler_. Here is a bwrap script I wrote to run Claude in a minimal s…

Tl;dr fancy way to map 1D time to 2D image If you imagine a movie as a line along the time axis with each frame as a pixel, there are multiple way to create an 2D image. Bargraph i…

I did something similar a few years back. I find the Hilbert curve pattern much more interesting. https://github.com/akash-akya/hilbert-montage Not an original idea, it was inspire…

I read the same book, also in Kannada. It was bought by my father when he was in high school. Of all the science books I have read, this one was more engaging and had a bigger impa…

I don't know much about WASM, but how does this work with shared libraries? Is it even possible to call a shared library without any safety guarantees?

> Streams, available in 5+ can handle a lot more use cases fluently Stream does solve the backup queue issue, but not being able to filter messages from the consumer's pending list…

Ahh. You are right. I misread the (3)[....] notation. Its not reset but just different representation.

> one can increment a single value outside the bloom filter to keep the values in the bloom filter low. Example: Instead of storing bloom filter [4,3,3,5,7,4,3,3,5], one could stor…

By that logic anything which kills mass population is "not so bad". Why not just bomb cities. Infact if you read it as a response to "world wars", though not intended, that way of …

That depends on the usecase. Sometimes you do want to start with clean state. If the process is in some invalid state which caused the crash in the first place, restarting the proc…

ah, that was a bad example for so many reasons. slightly better example foo_bar -> fooBar() baz_car -> bazCar() some_thing -> someThing() An even better example is doing the revers…

Agreed, I think of macro as a superset of multiple-cursors. Heck, with macro you can even run arbitrary code to generate text dynamically. I had the pleasure of doing this multiple…

Yes, no silver bullet. But most of my use case I find a generic pattern so I don't check the individual edits. Anything more complex I'll switch to macros. Btw, I meant undo like g…

With multiple cursors you are seeing the changes as you are editing. and you have all of the normal editing shortcuts at your disposal. Example, if you made a mistake while typing …

Multiple-cursor is useful when you want to edit lines which have non-trivial edits or doesn't have a common string to use find-replace. simple example foo_bar -> fooBar bar_baz -> …

Have you tried doom-emacs? https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs It has an insane startup speed! I tried once and it opened within a second. I'm not an evil user myself, so don't …

> Loops are closer to what CPU actually does. A compiler is therefore simpler to implement and will likely contain less surprises. I dont find the argument convincing. By that asse…

You should definitely check out different versions. The story they usually use in tv-series and 'parents' tell is the same version which is as you said boring, and plain good guy v…

Vachana Sahitya[1] is less known outside I guess. Vachana Sahitya is a form of rhythmic writing in Kannada that evolved in the 11th century CE as a part of the Sharana movement, a …

On top of that, there are hundreds of versions of Rāmāyaṇa and Mahābhārata with different themes and story[1]. Excluding retellings in different languages with a different style an…
