For context, the Python workload was a general-purpose fileserver with file indexing and image thumbnailing, largely IO-bound. Switching from mallocng to mimalloc resulted in a sli…

it's a tradeoff; mallocng does have benefits as well -- for example it uses less than half the amount of RAM compared to mimalloc and glibc for certain Python workloads. While yes …

Cool! Out of curiosity, since qr-codes can contain binary data -- rather than base64, have you tried inserting the file as-is? That way you could do away with the ASCII separator a…

But what if you are leaving the page because you changed your mind, and don't wish to save the changes after all? This, for me, is the common case, so i would not want the browser …

Hence my question -- my belief was/is that all of the escape-sequences mentioned in the article will work on 99.99% of all terminals, with the exception of 256-color. Assuming this…

Aside from the 256-color section, I believe all of the examples given in the article are basic sequences which are supported in ~every terminal. Are you aware of any notable termin…

h264 still makes sense in some applications because it is relatively computationally cheap, and has very wide adoption in both software and hardware. in the case of HEVC/h265, one …

Good news is there are ongoing efforts to make that happen; https://github.com/SnapXL/SnapX

in my case, I use zed for almost everything, and vscodium for three things: search across all files; easier to navigate the results with the list of matching lines in the sidebar, …

Microsoft has been making it harder to run their proprietary python plugin in vscodium, which I was relying on to provide hints from pyright. That's something I didn't want to deal…

Just to clarify that the 8 security announcements are not open issues; they are announcements that a new release has been made which fixed something security-related. I'm doing my …

Ah, a small correction regarding this... What I /meant/ to say in the video was that a lot of the INITIAL code was written this way, so the statement is mostly true for v0.2.3. Sin…

Combining copyparty with Syncthing is not something I have tested extensively, but I know people are doing this, and I have yet to hear about any related issues. It's also a usecas…

> I also miss Filerun's "Request a file" feature which worked very nicely if you just wanted someone to upload a file to you and then be done. With the disclaimer that I've never u…

Hey o/ Yup, this is 97% just me hacking away in vscode -- I use pylance and the debugger but have everything else disabled, easier to focus that way. The only time I use any sort o…

it's also inconvenient for Norwegians and Danes, since Ø is part of our alphabet. Slightly jealous of Sweden since they write it like Ö instead... Either way, big fan of dotted zer…

To be fair, it has been persistently offline for the past year or so every time I checked, so I'm not surprised that other people would jump to the same assumption.

I recall towel.blinkenlights.nl mentioned you would get a different version of the video (with colors) if you connected from IPv6. I've found rips online of the plain grayscale ver…

mods are still alive, and crazier than ever -- proof that 4 channels is all you need! https://www.stef.be/bassoontracker/?file=ma-205456

if you stop sending data entirely, browsers tend to drop and reopen the connection after a few minutes, assuming something got stuck along the way. Throttling seems to prevent that…

Yep, and the server bandwidth can become a bottleneck if the peers are fast enough, so true peer-to-peer is still the better choice, or something webtorrent-based if multiple peopl…

> There are services which allow you to upload via CLI and download via web browser, but they host your file so you have to wait for the full upload to finish before sharing the li…

There's also the fact that an NVRAM variable is never overwritten inplace; the new value is written elsewhere, and the pointer is updated to use the address of the new value. This …

I played a bit of Super Mario 64 using an early version of Daedalus, so it was more than a rumour :> Granted, it ran at about 80-90% realtime speed, and audio was a no-go, but mayb…
