endorphine··on How I stopped worrying and started loving the Assembly
Where would you suggest someone starts if they want to get into this stuff? Start writing an emulator? Which one would you recommend?
endorphine··on China has added forest the size of Texas since 1990
Don't know why you're downvoted, this seems a pretty accurate take to me.

It seems most of us in the West are mostly incapable of self-criticism and have been fed so much propaganda that we forgot how to see through all the bull**.

Since NVMe nodes are ephemeral on GCP, would you suggest SaaS with critical customer data to use Metal or persistent disks?

Care to elaborate what kind of issues? Looking into migrating as well.

And why is VSCode our baseline?
endorphine··on WASM 3.0 Completed
Kinda off-topic but do you see any value in a (rust) library that does only the binary decoding part + validation?
endorphine··on WASM 3.0 Completed
Awesome, thanks!
endorphine··on WASM 3.0 Completed
Oh no, right after I started writing a binary decoder for 2.0. Does anybody know how much this changes things as far as a decoder is concerned?

endorphine··on Native ACME support comes to Nginx
What took them so long? Honest question.

I'd expect nginx to have this years ago. Is that so hard to implement for some reason?

endorphine··on Garmin beats Apple to market with satellite-connected smartwatch
Side: The 15.05 firmware upgrade is causing severe battery drain in some models. From 8 days battery life it got down to 1. Multiple reports can be found here[1].

Support's response is "go to your region-local support shop".

endorphine··on How to Participate in the Ruby Community
I'd love something like this for other programming language communities as well
endorphine··on How to slow down a program and why it can be useful
Kinda related: sending a SIGSTOP to your datastore is a nice way to discover one of the failure modes of your architecture. (Use SIGCONT to make the server continue.)

If you're upgrading, see https://www.debian.org/releases/trixie/release-notes/upgradi....
endorphine··on GPT-5 vs. Sonnet: Complex Agentic Coding
What is the way to use this agentic stuff with neovim? Do I have to resort to OpenAI's Codex or a nvim plugin is sufficient? Or Claude Code?
endorphine··on What to Expect from Debian/Trixie
So hyped for this release, since it will result in nice bugfixes (autorandr, Polybar) and me simplifying my dotfiles. Many thanks to all Debian developers!
endorphine··on Linux Reaches 5% Desktop Market Share in USA
Hang in there for Trixie. Some things should be better there, especially around WINE performance, cause of the upgraded kernel
endorphine··on Does showing seconds in the system tray actually use more power?
I was wondering the same when configuring Polybar w/ i3 to show seconds on my Linux system. Even if it's marginal, I think I'll disable it.
endorphine··on Reading Neuromancer for the first time in 2025
Any suggestions for sci-fi books everyone should read in 2025?

He mentioned it in-person to me.

> Lamdas check the number of arguments, while procs do not

FWIW, Matz himself called this difference "a design mistake".

endorphine··on Coding agent in 94 lines of Ruby
It just occurred to me that Ruby's symbols are pretty much the same as Rust's string slices. No?
endorphine··on Rust’s dependencies are starting to worry me
What actually surprised me in Rust, is the amount of fragmentation and abandoned libraries. For example, serde_yaml is archived and there are two other libraries that do the same (?) thing. It seems like there's a significant effort required to search for and decide which (if at all) library to use. This is not so much pronounced in Go.
