This seems correct to me. Of course you'd need to build a CPU emulator to run CPU code. A single GPU core is apparently about 100x slower than a single CPU core. With emulation a 1…

The article talks about 26M requests per second . It's theoretical, of course.

Awesome work! Thank you for showing it to the world! I've considered writing a network stack myself. It's much more complex than most people can imagine. We have great tooling for …

Does Asahi Linux now run efficiently? I tried it on M1 about two years ago. Battery life was maybe 30% of what you get on macOS.

https://github.com/mystor/git-revise is great for just this. Of course there's also `git commit --fixup= ` and `git rebase --autosquash` if you don't want to install extra software…

> But as people are predisposed differently, either advice might make sense in different circumstances. This is a very good point. Life is a balancing act. Different people may nee…

I wrote a quick and dirty bash script that launches a tmux dashboard for a legacy linux server. The team has been happy with it. It does seem like an evolutionary dead end to be ho…

I have a client that actively asks me to use AI more and more. They expect to get better quality code faster, ie. to reduce costs. (That's not my experience but that's beside the p…

The author didn't submit it to HN, so criticizing it being on HN seems unfair to me. It's a cool piece of alpha-quality software. It may or may not be meant to be used, that's besi…

In Finnish (spoken in another Nordic country) it's plural "legoja" / "legot", with the singular only used as attribute, e.g. "legoukkeli". It's been this way at least since the 80s…

That's indeed the biggest flaw in the Github PR model. I've been hoping for a gerrit-like code review experience in a Github alternative for years. I'll be sure to try Radicle.

Years ago I made an ANSI art viewer with modem speed emulation. It has an outdated mirror of https://16colo.rs/ so most ANSI art that's ever been published is viewable. See e.g. cu…

That's an understatement. According to that data, the most dangerous cars are infinitely more dangerous than the safest cars (205 driver deaths per million registered vehicle years…

That is quite a depressed take on life. Many people find all of life good. Why not set up your life so you can cherish every moment?

I highly recommend trying BQN [0]. It's a lot of fun indeed. It retains the array programming paradigm but modernizes a lot of things -- and has excellent documentation (but not mu…

For these kinds of things, there's a wiki nowadays: http://www.sizecoding.org/wiki/Main_Page It's a very welcoming scene. Highly recommended, though I'll warn you that sizecoding c…

Would we mental workers dread reading how physical workers fight exhaustion by doing crosswords?

I wouldn't call it make-pretend when you can drop electronics in any supermarket and they'll take care of recycling. I don't have statistics but anecdotally people here in Finland …

Real-mode assembly is even more fun. I highly recommend something like http://www.sizecoding.org/wiki/Getting_Started if you're into that sort of thing.

The even older DCT3 generation of Nokia phones worked much better than Symbian ever did. Nokia 6210 is still a great phone if you only need to call and receive SMS. But anything wi…

Yes, obviously there's no way to tell what proportion of users think the same way. > they strip away features that existed before, and completely ignore and talk down to users who …

You can even use the same .jnewsrc for multiple NNTP servers, so just running `NNTPSERVER=some.url slrn` works for me. But I'm hoping for a way to use multiple servers without re-l…

I've heard this from a couple of power users before. But maybe GNOME does not optimize for power users?

When you have enough users, any change will make hordes of them unhappy, just because 0.01% is already a horde.

> dictatorial power over 100s of users GNOME has tens of millions of users. I do understand your sentiment. I don't like GNOME myself. But there are alternatives. If you don't like…
