Mr Kusswurm's x86 book is excellent. Didn't know he also write on for ARM. Thank you!

Since NASM/YASM is written in C, it's more portable. On my ARM Mac, NASM works fine. FASM is cool (and still being development), but since it's written in 32-bit x86 asm, let's jus…

You mean this: https://www.amazon.com/Art-ARM-Assembly-Randall-Hyde/dp/1718... ? Mmm nice. Will give it a try since ARM-based Mac is my main working environment nowadays.

Not exactly weird... I mean x64 Windows is still pretty popular. And pretty much any Windows dev will have Visual Studio installed (to get MASM). Unless, you want to use open sourc…

>> but personally I'd like to teach my kid how a computer works, not how to use some programming language. I wonder if assembly is a better choice... hmmm...

Does this mean I can turn my JS-based backend into single executable and easily ship it, like in Go?

Works fine on 152.0.5 (aarch64) macOS 26.5.2. I don't use extensions like NoScript etc etc

If you like QuickBASIC, perhaps FreeBASIC is also an interesting choice. For many years, it practically only supports Windows, Linux, and DOS. Now add macOS into the list: https://…

OCaml seems nice for doing real world app development (e.g) web backend, and not limited only for prog lang research. Hmmm....

Ahh just noticed it's made by graemeg, one of FPC long time contributors. Many years ago I explored his fpGUI: https://fpgui.sourceforge.net/ fpGUI Toolkit is a cross-platform GUI …

Mmmmm just noticed MacOS is now supported. Guess time to say farewell to DBeaver...

So which one has the biggest chance to be Android/iOS alternative? Many many years ago, smarphone users had these choices: Symbian, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, PalmOS... what else?…

Just noticed in cannot build a standalone Rust source file "error: could not find 'Cargo.toml'" I assume first need to create a project by "cargo new" ...? Anyway, love the good ol…

>> Rust is notorious for its slow compile times Don't forget Haskell. And what's other... C++, OCaml, etc? I guess a language with complex/complicated design is difficult to be com…

Why choose one if you can use all of them? Windows: gaming, running proprietary Windows-only apps (like engineering stuffs) Linux: back end development, kernel hacking macOS: mobil…

Is there a completely mechanical version of XPan? Of course I mean shoot 65:24 and have interchangebale lens support? So far, I think there's no one for 35mm. For medium format sho…

I unserstand this camera is pretty popular among street shooters/photodocumentary folks. Personally, I prefer less distortion and XPan is the better choice for that (and of course …

Congtats for reaching 1.0 Gotta say farewell to Sublime. Now Zed is my general purposed text editor. For doing most of my coding work, still use VSCode and nvim.

Very impressive for a single dev project. Nice to see someone started the work from zero instead of piggybacking LLVM.

Anyone use hnterm? https://github.com/ggerganov/hnterm I think it still works pretty well, and written in C++ instead of the "cool kids" Go/Rust

Cool. Is macOS (Apple Silicon) also supported? If not, well there's another reason to have a Linux VM ready :)

Perhaps using this: https://github.com/nlsandler/nqcc2 ?

Yes this is my workflow when shooting digitally. Always in RAW & color for greater flexibility during B/W conversion.

"Shoot and scan" is convenient. Hard to argue with it. But hey, if you want convenience, why are still using film? :D But anyway, yes print making is both art and science on its ow…

Whatever floats the boat. Even back to film/analog era, taking a photo is just the 1st step. Then apply some darkroom work (dodge/burn/use some filters to adjust the highlight/shad…
