Did anyone figure out how to use this with another repo?
dzogchen··on Apple must open iPadOS to sideloading within 6 months, EU says
Sideloading is such a horrible term for “installing apps without Apple’s approval”. And Apple illegally even tries to STILL require their approval.
dzogchen··on A leadership crisis in the Nix community
The main reason for the persistence of C despite its warts and general mess is just "first-mover advantage": it was the first, therefore it has more libraries/packages/development of the ecosystem than the alternatives.

Stop being lazy, go back to engineering first principles and it makes little sense to stay with C. [Insert systems programming language du jour] or any other well-developed language makes more sense.

Sharing the C++ Annotations here, which is a continiously updated book on modern C++. http://www.icce.rug.nl/documents/cplusplus/
dzogchen··on Randar: A Minecraft exploit that uses LLL lattice reduction to crack server RNG
I loved playing on 2b2t, until it got too popular all of the sudden when a YouTuber did a video on it.

2b2t (an anarchy servers in genral) are Minecraft the way it is meant to be played.

dzogchen··on Sane C++ Libraries
'Sane' C++ is apparently still using macros all over the place. :) Not really to be taken seriously.
dzogchen··on Driverless cars swerve traffic tickets in California even if they break the law
> one of its driverless cars struck and dragged a pedestrian along the street in an accident in October last year

Please don't call it an 'accident'...

> “Accident” tends to imply that no one is at fault — and when it’s used in the context of a traffic crash, it also can give the impression that what occurred is not that serious.

Putting quotes from unreliable sources in headlines is dangerous journalism in my opinion.
dzogchen··on Asahi dev found off-by-one bug in M2 MacBook Air bass enhancer
Apple is nearing 3 billion dollar valuation. This is an inexcusable bug since the most banale Q&A testing would have caught.
dzogchen··on Valve releases Counter-Strike 2
I had the same experience, until a friend told me you really need a good monitor (144 Hz+) and a good mouse, otherwise you are hopeless in this game.
