psyclobe··on Psilocybin decreases depression and anxiety in cancer patients (2016)
Psychedelics put me in Heaven… and in Hell. Use wisely.
psyclobe··on 7-Zip for Windows can now use more than 64 CPU threads for compression
zip is such a shit standard, hell there are parts of it that are still undocumented and sharing documents between system zip implementations across mac and windows sometimes fails.
psyclobe··on The death of partying in the USA
Yeah. I haven't gone out in decades.
psyclobe··on Introducing tmux-rs
Oh neat!!
psyclobe··on Simplest C++ Callback, from SumatraPDF
Oh that’s nice, wish gcc did that
psyclobe··on Air India flight to London crashes in Ahmedabad with more than 240 onboard
Amen.
psyclobe··on Self-hosting your own media considered harmful according to YouTube
AMEN
psyclobe··on C++ to Rust Phrasebook
No…
psyclobe··on Run a C# file directly using dotnet run app.cs
Bash is the tool that’s already there; that is always a real good reason to use it.

Dotnet is a pig with its dependencies by comparison.

psyclobe··on As a developer, my most important tools are a pen and a notebook
I find writing really calms my brain and forces me to straighten my thoughts out. Even if I never review the notes it’s a big benefit.
psyclobe··on The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source
This. WSL was SO much more interesting in v1 times.
psyclobe··on The Acid King (2001)
Indeed, I did a lot of it during those years as well; introduced so many friends to it. What a time to be alive.
psyclobe··on The Acid King (2001)
He was released in 2020: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Leonard_Pickard
psyclobe··on AI helps unravel a cause of Alzheimer’s and identify a therapeutic candidate
A little to late for my mom, but maybe it will help me in the future...
psyclobe··on Deepfake porn is destroying real lives in South Korea
Fuck cnn and their pay to read articles
psyclobe··on Your phone isn't secretly listening to you, but the truth is more disturbing
Tl;dr it’s not the microphone… it’s screenshots.
psyclobe··on Parallel ./configure
(Luckily?) With c++ your build will nearly always take longer then the configuration step.
psyclobe··on Parallel ./configure
cmake ftw
psyclobe··on GCC 15.1
There is no reason to use a union unless you're doing some C stuff; in which case just use C.
psyclobe··on C++26: more constexpr in the core language
Ah this was my case! Was trying to constexpr a uint8_t ptr to char * in a constexpr constructor for a string class.

Ah that’s what bitcast is for, neat!

psyclobe··on C++26: more constexpr in the core language
Good to know thanks for the correction
psyclobe··on C++26: more constexpr in the core language
Try consteval , constexpr is a hint. No static casts allowed in constexpr scopes that evaluate as constexpr in c++17 and above (works in c11).

Could be wrong I am no expert…

psyclobe··on C++26: more constexpr in the core language
That’s super cool; c++ is always the sharpest tool in the drawer (and by virtue the funnest!)..

It’s too bad you still can’t cast a char to a uint8_t though in a constexpr expression.

psyclobe··on Why the Ultrarich Are Unplugging from "Smart Homes"
I’ve had nothing but 100% uptime with a complete installation of Zwave switches at my house.

They act like normal switches but can be controlled with anything that can talk Zwave; in this case home assistant.

Runs off the grid, works great!

psyclobe··on Cozy video games can quell stress and anxiety
Exactly; there is so much to do that playing games feels like wasted time.. and time is getting shorter every day
psyclobe··on Cozy video games can quell stress and anxiety
I wish I could spend more then 10 minutes playing games; feels like work.
psyclobe··on What the hell is a target triple?
Sounds like what we use with vcpkg to define the systems tooling; still trying to make sense of it all these years later, but we define things like x64-Linux-static to imply target architecture platform and linkage style to runtime.
psyclobe··on I ditched my laptop for a pocketable mini PC and a pair of AR glasses
No Linux? Full stop.
psyclobe··on Windows 2000 Server named peak Microsoft
Unfortunately all that crap eventually comes back. Microsoft likes to reset settings… I’m pretty sure I must’ve spent the majority of my youth setting the same explorer settings over and over and over again … And it never ends with any custom setup you do; given enough time it reverts.
psyclobe··on How Silica Gel Took Over the World
Yea but what happens if you eat it???
