drey08··on Qwen3.8-2.4T
Releases tomorrow: https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B
drey08··on Migrating the main Zig repository from GitHub to Codeberg
> Github was on the decline anyway in the past 5 years, it's time for an alternative and we'll see.

I tend to agree. But I don't see how an exact UI replica of Github is innovative.

I've only glanced at it though, maybe there's more features underneath the hood.

Happy to learn more about what makes it better. Is the CI system more refined than Github Actions? I was definitely never a fan of that system.

drey08··on Open Sourcing DOS 4
Have you ever heard someone get called slow? That's an insult too.

So now you have quick tests. That's disrespectful towards me because I got called slow once.

This can go on forever.

drey08··on Don't fuck with paste
In a similar vain some of the AWS console pages make it hard to select text and use ctrl^c to copy it. It often deselects the text as soon as you hit ctrl. It is extremely irritating.
drey08··on Nushell: Introduction to a new kind of shell
It looks promising, but why does it flicker every time I input a key? Using WSL & Terminal.
drey08··on Commit comments no longer appear in the pull request timeline
This is about commit comments, not commit messages.
drey08··on Historical programming-language groups disappearing from Google
Back when I was first learning about D (over 10 years ago), I crawled those archives and sorted all the posts based on the comment count. It revealed many interesting topics and the history of how D progressed as a language.

I wish forum.dlang.org had a quick way of browsing just the top list of the most commented posts.

drey08··on Ask HN: Thoughts on new GitHub layout?
How can I use this code snippet? Apologies if it's obvious to everyone.
drey08··on Sublime Merge 2
Does it support three-way merge? I still use BeyondCompare for this, and it's a killer feature whenever I have to rebase my PR against the latest upstream HEAD. Can't live without it, and I consider it an essential feature for a paid product.
drey08··on Initial Impressions of WSL 2
Yep.

With WSL I can seamlessly access files from both Linux and Windows. I use the Terminal (Windows) and various Unix tools for a lot of stuff (compiling & testing on Posix, objdump, debugging). And I use Windows GUI tools for editing (Sublime), diffing (BeyondCompare), and so on. I get the best of both worlds.

But WSL2 file access in `/mnt/c/` is now unbearably slow. So I just stick with WSL1.

From what I've read, Microsoft intends to support both WSL1 and WSL2 for the foreseeable future. So that's good.

drey08··on Microsoft’s web-based version of Visual Studio
This looks like web-based Visual Studio Code to me, not Visual Studio.
drey08··on iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max
> blind test

Well yes, all cameras look the same if you do a "blind" test. :)

drey08··on Programming Fonts – Test Drive
It's one of the reasons why I still haven't fully switched to VSCode. There doesn't seem to be a way to disable antialiasing in VSCode to make this font look good, as far as I can tell.
drey08··on StreetLend.com shuts down, citing GDPR regulations
We're a medium-sized software company, and we had to create a dedicated GDPR position so someone can look into everything and decide whether we're GDPR-compliant, and if not, how we can fix it. GDPR really complicates everything, even though most uf us (devs) are actually in favor of it (because we don't really like the idea of companies tracking us forever).
drey08··on F.lux major update
Thanks, it seems to have the same simple interface as f.lux used to have.
drey08··on F.lux major update
This new interface is the most confusing UI yet.. Also, the update managed to "forget" all my existing settings..
drey08··on Vectorflow: Netflix minimalist neural net lib for sparse data
I'm really excited that established companies like Netflix are using D. And I think this is true for most of us in the D community.
drey08··on Why Slack is inappropriate for open source communications
Just a note: if you go from free to paid, you can recover those lost messages. They're never actually deleted, you just can't view messages after the 10k limit in the free version.
drey08··on Bluetooth 5 Now Available
Has anyone here had issues with bluetooth interference from.. traffic lights?

My Sennheiser Momentum wireless headphones seem to be running into this issue. It doesn't happen all the time, but when it does I notice it happens when the traffic lights switch (e.g green to red). There must be some kind of signal interfering with bluetooth that's emitted at that point, though I can't understand why since all traffic lights should be wired, to my knowledge.

For reference this is in Berlin, Germany. Perhaps it's something to do with the traffic tech they use in Germany.

drey08··on Dumb Password Rules
Like Microsoft account passwords (at least for office 365). I don't understand why they do this.
drey08··on Bitbucket Embraces the Cloud IDE
It doesn't seem to want to list .d files, so I guess D support isn't implemented yet. I'm trying it on an open repo, so it should work..
drey08··on Adblock Plus is probably the reason Firefox and Chrome are such memory hogs
That could actually be a novel technique against ad blocking. Make the website dysfunctional if the ads can't be displayed.
drey08··on Windows 10 Technical Preview Source Tree
It's kind of odd that it would be just one source tree. Surely it can't be one giant Visual Studio project.
drey08··on Here for Android beta
Well, I can't seem to download this from my Android because it keeps wanting to use the web app instead. So much for that..
drey08··on Final – A credit card built for the 21st century
This sort of reminds me of public key cryptography. I generally really like the idea. I've always felt really uneasy about credit cards, the fact that all I have to do is enter the same numbers to every single website I purchase from.

The programmer in me tells me "this just can't be secure", and the only hope I have that my card number is never stolen is, well, hope.

drey08··on Things that drive me nuts about OpenGL
Nevermind, it became open-source at some point: http://glsl-debugger.github.io/
drey08··on Things that drive me nuts about OpenGL
I just gave this a try. Unfortunately when it runs my app the app will at some point crash, and the console will briefly display what went wrong but then the console exits. I can't figure out if the debugger kept a log somewhere.

Anyway, this seems closed-source. Are there any open-source equivalents?

drey08··on Functional Image Processing in D
Although with C++ you'd probably break your fingers trying to implement it. And it would end up looking uglier. :)
drey08··on Jack Tramiel, founder of Commodore, dies at age 83
I'll never forget my first computer. Rest in peace, Jack Tramiel. http://imgur.com/GYHVR
