codingjerk··on Biski64: A Fast, No_std PRNG in Rust
Probably the fastest Rust PRNG I saw (and with good properties!)
codingjerk··on Lieferando.de has captured 5.7% of restaurant related domain names
Domain squatting should be illegal
codingjerk··on Codeberg Hits IPv6 Adoption Milestone: 42% Higher Than GitHub
I still remember people thought we would _migrate_ to IPv6 in just a couple of years.

And here we are.

codingjerk··on YAD: display graphical dialogs from shell scripts or command line
Nice to see some projects like this in kinda-active development after 20+ years.
codingjerk··on On File Formats
Good overview.

The "Chunk your binaries" point is spot on. Creating a huge binary blob that contains everything makes it hard to work with in constrained environments.

Also, +1 for "Document your format". More like "Document everything". Future you will thank you for it for sure.

codingjerk··on Postgres IDE in VS Code
I'm using CLIs like A LOT, but still would be happy to get _good_ autocomplete for SQL.

`psql` is pretty bad at it and in `\e` you will just end up in an editor, which will probably don't know about your schema.

I've tried many tools, but seems like I like DataGrip (or databases in PyCharm Professional) the most, so I use EAP from time to time, when I'm going to write a lot of SQL.

codingjerk··on Postgres IDE in VS Code
I spend most of my time in the command line:

- neovim for file editing,

- zsh (+zoxide) for navigation / file management,

- plain git to manage my repos,

- plain text note taking and accounting, etc.

codingjerk··on Benchmarks: OpenCL Kernel Latency ~76x Lower for Lunar Lake with Updated Runtime
I like where Intel is going, just about time, especially considering the competition from AMD and Apple.
codingjerk··on Postgres IDE in VS Code
DataGrip would be perfect if it had a community edition. As someone who connects to a database only two or three times a week, I’m not willing to pay for it.

Looks promising, but I'll probably stick to `psql`
codingjerk··on I Built My Own Audio Player
This. And it feels like competition is lower on AppStore.
codingjerk··on I Built My Own Audio Player
Thanks for sharing. I agree in general,

But for me language is not a problem at all. I mean that you have a lot of pre-requirements to start developing for iOS.

And the stuff, except writing code feels much more restricted. AppStore is a walled garden itself.

But yeah, Objective-C was something...

codingjerk··on Linux Performance Analysis in 60k Milliseconds (2015) [pdf]
It's interesting, why `strace` isn't mentioned here.

For me, it's the very first thing I'll run (e.g., `strace -p PID`) if a any process is not performing well enough.

It gives a quick insight on what syscalls it's making.

codingjerk··on I Built My Own Audio Player
I feel like developing an app for iOS is harder than developing one for Android.

Everything from writing code to building and publishing is overcomplicated.

codingjerk··on Suckless Software for Everyone: You too can LARP as a good programer (SELF 2023) [video]
I've always wondered: is Wayland considered less "suckless" than X11?

It seems simpler, though suckless community doesn't appear to like it.
