Didn't understand it well, I thought it was because english is not my native language.
makz··on KDE is now my favorite desktop
I’m a Linux user since 2001, I saterted with KDE 2.2 or something. I stopped using it in favor of Gnome, XFCE and recently fluxbox over the years.

A few days ago I decided to give it a try again and I have to say I’m impressed. KDE has reached a level of sophistication I had never seen before in any other Linux desktop environment. For me the experience is almost on par with macOS and slightly above windows.

makz··on I write type-safe generic data structures in C
Interesting but too complicated for me.

For my own hashmap implementation I followed a wasteful aproach since I’m. It targeting embedded.

I created a structure called a hashmap object. It has two elements: a void pointer and a char pointer. The first one is the data and the second one is the metadata. The metadata is basically a string were the user can put anything, the type of the data, more data, whatever.

Then I preallocate 10s of thousands of hashmap objects. That way users of my hashmap don’t have to think about aollocating and de allocating hashmap nodes, they just insert, delete and search freely. They still have to care about allocating and de allocating they’re own data though.

Cannot find the mail in @misc you are talking about

Or simply we just like things that have some noise.

What LLMs are people running on this kind of setups?
makz··on The Future of WATMM
Any alternatives to this forum? I've never heard heard of this until now and as someone who spends a lot of time making music as a hobby sounds like a community I'd like to be part of.
makz··on Decompiling 2024: A Year of Resurgance in Decompilation Research
As a total beginner in this field, how can I begin experimenting with this?
makz··on Hands-On Graphics Without X11
Awesome! I was thinking about playing with this on some BSD like two months ago.
makz··on I spent 18 years in the Linux console
I recently switched to OpenBSD for my home lab and the experience was exactly the same as yours. It works even better than FreeBSD.
makz··on I Stopped Using OpenBSD
The way I see it, there’s conflict between her professional goals and her hacking goals.

The way I avoid that is by keeping that separate. But might not be for everyone.

makz··on The decline of the working musician
At least which genre and country

makz··on Gear Acquisition Syndrome
I’ve been an amateur bass player since 2008. My GAS stopped when I took a year of lessons from professional player. I learned that most of the sound comes from good playing technique.
makz··on Use a work journal
This advice is pure gold. Thank you.
makz··on Maybe You're Not Sick of Programming
This is good advice. Nowadays I still earn my money from IT but I don’t do any programming. On my free time I’m doing my own stuff at my own pace mostly on Linux and C. It’s wonderful.
makz··on Ask HN: Is there any software you only made for your own use but nobody else?
I'm currently writing my own hashmap implementation. The goal is to make something small, simple, reliable, and that anybody can quickly integrate into their own projects. So far it has taken me around 40 hours and it's 95% done.
