Finally, we have an "OS" written in typescript. And here I was thinking that an OS would be the only exception to Atwood's law /s

I really want to use a scheme based operating system where all processes are continuations and people boot into a REPL instead of a unix shell. something like a modern version of t…

I assumed the word was derived from "azul" but from the article, it's apparently derived from the Arabic الزليج (al-zillīj) and has no relation with "azul"

but that's the wrong shade of blue? It'd have been great if they took the colour from "The blue marble" instead of this Turbo Pascal blue.

I agree with the first part. I think this article by FSF about Intel's ME summarizes the issue https://static.fsf.org/nosvn/blogs/Intel_ME_Carikli_article_... As for the second par…

I'm failing to understand GP's logic here. Why would someone who's posting some TV show's content in complete disregard of their intellectual property rights be bothered about AI s…

Thanks, that would be great! I am trying to think how this could work. Generally, subtitles are embedded as a separate track in the video container or as a sidecar .srt file [1]. P…

I used to stream movies from my desktop over the local network with VLC and the main issue I faced was that I could never get the subtitles to work. I took a quick look at this rep…

OP should have archived the page when the count was negative. Here's a snapshot from when the count was 0 https://web.archive.org/web/20260512115623/https://news.ycom...

Microsoft Design also released 4K renders of nostalgic wallpapers (including bliss) a few years ago. I can't find the original link but here's the reddit post with the pictures. ht…

The name didn't help much either, I suppose.

It really grinds my gears that the uploader had to ruin the "Greatest Shot in Television" by stretching the 4:3 video to 16:9. I know I sound like a pedant but so many of these old…

It's ridiculous how accurate this recreation is to the original, it looks and feels identical. The author was able to do this just decompiling the exe files, without looking at the…

Sorry, complete noob here. Why didn't you just cd into $(yes a/ | head -n $((32 * 1024)) | tr -d '\n')? Why do you need to use the while loop for cd? EDIT: got it. -bash: cd: a/a/a…

I've been pronouncing both of them as /dʒis/ like hiss and not /dʒɪz/. I however am not a native english speaker of English. I wonder if native speakers gravitate towards the z mor…

I could never in a million years have imagined that LLM-slop driven fuzzing would become the ultimate vindication for the microkernel philosophy

While I know that it may have been a security liability, I'm particularly sad that they're removing the AX.25 module from the kernel. > and since nobody stepped up to help us deal …

I agree with the notion that having multiple passes makes compilers easier to understand and maintain but finding the right number of passes is the real challenge here. The optimal…

Reminds me of the essay 'In Praise of Idleness' by Bertrand Russell https://harpers.org/archive/1932/10/in-praise-of-idleness/ >

Thanks for working on LispPad, I'm really enjoying using it. > Polar complex number literals are actually not part of R7RS I actually thought they were part of the spec. Specifical…
