mayli··on Run full iOS 16.5 firmware on Android Devices
Not really, the hw from apple is much better than android hw, like A18 compare with SG8 or M1 vs x86. the software itself is mostly worst than android.
mayli··on OpenCode 2.0
I think it's due to they are doing a funny business to parse the progress, that's pretty much vibed and no one care. Like instead of using curl's progress, they re-invented a progress tracking with the tracing interface (--trace-ascii), byte by byte :(

mayli··on God of War on PSP, recompiled to WebAssembly and running in the browser
That 32MB ram is impressive.
mayli··on Claude Haiku 5.5
SVG is hard.
mayli··on PipePipe: NewPipe hard fork implementing SponsorBlock
Pretty much worse user experience guaranteed, plz no.
mayli··on F-Droid 2.0
I run into UI glitches and crashes, and decide to not continue using it.
mayli··on F-Droid 2.0
Yeah, even AI could tell this design is not really polished.
mayli··on What do Visa and Mastercard do? An intro to card networks
Yep, pretty much the credit card tax. One of the most ugly things.
mayli··on Fastpotify
> It starts in well under a second and typically uses 100–250 MB of RAM.

Hmm, a music player now use much RAM :/

mayli··on Saving 100 terabytes of memory by optimizing 1.1.1.1's DNS cache
Maybe it's not that obviously better when it's impltd.
mayli··on Rust Glancer: Rust LSP using 100x less RAM
RA with disk cache?
mayli··on I ran Photoshop on a £0.60 computer chip
Yep, there is a project tiny386, Win95 on ESP32, $1.85 chip.

mayli··on Will you have spent more of your life with computers than your family?
No, you are not doing it solo, you are connected to the internet, just like this comment.
mayli··on Postgres rewritten in Rust, now passing 100% of the Postgres regression tests
The people benefit from all human knowledge, future human beings.
mayli··on Colossus: The Forbin Project
fyi: https://telehack.com/
mayli··on Neovim 0.12.0
Bro, not every guy/girl is a regex master, multi-cursor is a much better UI/UX wysiwyg editor for everyday users.
mayli··on Steam Machine
I feel the same way, it has to be priced in the range of gaming console rather than gaming PC.
mayli··on Steam Machine
Yeah, gemini gives $649 - $699 for BOM, $749+ if they want some margin from the hardware. Which is cheaper than most "Gaming PC", but still more expensive than Switch/PS5, and lack the expandability of PC.

I wish they could sell at $300-$500, that's really going to make this a must have for this year.

mayli··on Wikipedia says traffic is falling due to AI search summaries and social video
Yeah, it's good for them to save money for fewer traffic.
mayli··on CDC File Transfer
I use that cause it's pure user space, and doesn't require extra system feature.
mayli··on I regret building this $3000 Pi AI cluster
Yeah, it's only competitive as a toy for under $35, anything beyond that you can get a cheap x86 with much better performance, a much compatible architecture and much more IOs.
mayli··on I regret building this $3000 Pi AI cluster
This is also a proof where you can get cheaper and more perf/$ if you buy x86 based vps.
mayli··on Asciinema CLI 3.0 rewritten in Rust, adds live streaming, upgrades file format
That btop stream is lagging hard now, and jumping between full cpu and idle 0%.

Is the service crashing and restarting?

mayli··on Matrix.org – Database Incident
So that means it's possible to reduce the DB size under 1TB, your recovery time would take less than 1 hour, rather >17hours.
mayli··on Show HN: Kitten TTS – 25MB CPU-Only, Open-Source TTS Model
Is this english only?
mayli··on It's a DE9, not a DB9 (but we know what you mean)
Yeah, I learned that rencently, engineers are dumb on naming things and remember the namings.
mayli··on SQLite async connection pool for high-performance
Cause the sqlite-lib that python ships isn't async, and sqlite itself usually doesn't give an async API.
mayli··on SQLite async connection pool for high-performance
FYI, I've once had few long-lived connection with wal, and wal file just goes exploded. Turns out sqlite won't truncate the wal if there are open connections.
mayli··on Apple's MLX adding CUDA support
Yeah, nice to have MLX-opencl or MLX-amd-whatever
mayli··on Two guys hated using Comcast, so they built their own fiber ISP
I am on it, still a little bit pricer than Comcast, but worth every penny.
