How does this compete to something like Org-mode?
rvdca··on Micron Announces Exit from Crucial Consumer Business
I am not sure if I understood your comment correctly but from my stand point Sk Hynix definitely has a consumer facing brand : https://pcpartpicker.com/products/memory/#xcx=0&m=444
rvdca··on Statistical Physics and Generative AI
This is a talk that was given Pr. Giulio Biroli in the Physics Department of a French University ("École d'Ingénieurs" technically) that talks about the use of generative AI in theoretical physics.
rvdca··on Extreme Pi Boot Optimization
Thabks for the link ! Got the code accessible for this kiosk picture frame by any chance ?
rvdca··on Show HN: Create diagrams of complex data flows in software systems
The love-hate relationship with LabVIEW is something I can not get closure about : great tool, abysmal ergonmics, revolutionnary piece of software, ubiquitous in some fields and still some LabVIEW ergonomics is just SO...bad : want to zoom on your diagram ? Out of luck !

Heard of death by a thousand cuts ? LabVIEW comes to mind.

rvdca··on Faer-rs: Linear algebra foundation for Rust
One could argue that libraries like BLAS/LAPACK are those collections...
rvdca··on What part of Rust compilation is the bottleneck?
I will chime in to day that rust is also building a alternative to the LLVM backend in the form of cranelift : https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc_codegen_cranelift
rvdca··on TextSnatcher: Copy text from images, for the Linux Desktop
The similar app I am using is Frog (https://getfrog.app) with great sucesss.
rvdca··on Canon's Advanced Chip Machines to Cost a Fraction of ASML's Best
The technology seems to target specific applications because it does not have the same throughput/advantages than lithography.

There's a great video deep-dive about the technology on the Asianometry YouTube channel for those interested : https://youtu.be/8UdNB3ZY4Ks

rvdca··on Show HN: Every Breath You Take – Heart Rate Variability Training
I was hoping to intercept and reverse-engineer the protocol of the Oura rings.

For some reason, I thought this kind of device would attract a lot of hackers given the platform capabilities but I could not f8nd any other documented attempt except the really thorough iFixit (destructive) teardown : https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Oura+Ring+2+Teardown/135207

rvdca··on Makepad- Synthesizer Written in Rust
For anyone interested, the main author (if I understood properly) did a presentation at RustNL on the UI aspect that was quite impressive performance wise : https://youtu.be/rC4FCS-oMpg
rvdca··on Try: run a command and inspect its effects before changing your live system
I feel that one day I should write about this curse that NixOS brings into your life when you start enjoying it : you cannot go back to different systems but at the same time you (at least I) cannot vouch and recommend it to others as the languages and constructs (Flakes with a space or an utf-8 character in the path ? Here is a rabbit hole you can go down with) are just so byzantine and painful to work with but oh boy do they work... A crystal prison, nice but with sharp corners everywhere...
rvdca··on A Linux Evening
NixOS feels the same but somehow... I still end up in those Linux evenings but for different reasons...
rvdca··on Penguincrab: Unsafe Wrapper for Linux Kernel Library in Rust
Please excuse me for misrepresenting your work then Steve!

I take this opportunity to thank you for your involvement in the Rust project!

rvdca··on Penguincrab: Unsafe Wrapper for Linux Kernel Library in Rust
From what I understand of their product, Oxide computers (https://oxide.computer) is exactly doing this : building a server from the bottom up (OS, drivers and everything on top) in Rust. Anyone with more information can correct if I am wrong about their tech stack.
rvdca··on You don’t want to be on Cloudflare’s naughty list
Someone has seen a basilisk...
rvdca··on Emacs’s Builtin Elisp Cheat Sheet
Regarding your comment on package pinning, you can see straight.el (https://github.com/radian-software/straight.el)

rvdca··on Ask HN: Can you both take climate change seriously and against nuclear energy?
I am genuinely interested in your position : what are your concerns with nuclear energy?
rvdca··on Minikube now supports rootless podman driver for running Kubernetes
From what I gather a unikernel is what you are searching for. Many exists - https://github.com/unikraft/unikraft - https://github.com/hermitcore/rusty-hermit are the one that comes to my quick search.
rvdca··on BitTorrent v2 (2020)
So as far as I understand the protocol this is the principle behind Zeronet (https://zeronet.io/)
rvdca··on Hacker News RSS
Feeder (https://f-droid.org/packages/com.nononsenseapps.feeder)
rvdca··on AROS is a lightweight, efficient, and flexible desktop operating system
I think that you will greatly appreciate the desktop distribution helloSystem : https://hellosystem.github.io/docs/index.html. From their own documentation : "[.…] desktop system for creators with a focus on simplicity, elegance, and usability. Its design follows the “Less, but better” philosophy. It is intended as a system for “mere mortals”, welcoming to switchers from the Mac. FreeBSD is used as the core operating system."

rvdca··on Making a programming language using Rust
Apart from the very detailed rust content, your RSS feed is broken : I wanted to subscribe but I couldn't; a shame.
rvdca··on Automatic layout algorithms compute layouts for diagrams
This has already been posted to HN before : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21774018

I would like to thank you because I have been searching for it frantically for the past week without luck.

rvdca··on Factorio 1.0
For anyone who has wondered what would Factorio would look like in 3D, the game Satisfactory from Coffee Stains Studio would be a good idea.
rvdca··on My Emacs Productivity Tricks/Hacks
There are these series of "absolute minimums" (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLd_Oyt6lAQ8RgaMN3JnmZ...) centered on Spacemacs (a modified version of Emacs) but they go over helm and a bunch of different things. Should be generic enough to be useful.
rvdca··on Ask HN: What do you automate in your life and work?
To be honest, given the description, who would not be interested with that description on the top list?
rvdca··on Ask HN: What do you self-host?
If you are afraid, I have been really surprised by the ease of setup of a NixOS instance : https://gitlab.com/simple-nixos-mailserver/nixos-mailserver
