tsuru··on Shipping JPEG XL in Chrome
Any way for those who enjoy dynamic languages (non-Python) to call it via FFI?
tsuru··on Xwayland 26.1.0 rc1
Nvidia finally started supporting GBM in 2021. IIUC EGLStream is more vestigial now and can be removed.
tsuru··on War on Raze
> Next up - the War on Lambdas

I don't know array based languages well but I want to read the next one.

tsuru··on Cocoa-Way – Native macOS Wayland compositor for running Linux apps seamlessly
Wow. Would this allow a macos-based wayland-client to create an EGL surface?
tsuru··on We built another object storage
Every time I hear hierarchical storage, I can't help but think "It's all coming back to MUMPS, isn't it?"
tsuru··on If Odin Had Macros
FFI is harder if the target lib doesn't have a C interface.

I feel I'm forced to reach for FFI if I want to do anything graphical e.g Wayland or OpenGL. Otherwise it's optional

tsuru··on Notes on Graham's ANSI Common Lisp (2024)
https://github.com/norvig/paip-lisp PAIP is available online from the author, too.
tsuru··on FAA to eliminate floppy disks used in air traffic control systems
So what does a modern ATC look like?

can winehq save the day in the interim or in the transition?

tsuru··on Marching Events: What does iCalendar have to do with ray marching?
can't help but wonder if I'd like this syntax for system timers or cron...
tsuru··on Memory safety for web fonts
It looks like there is an extern C interface... I wonder if it is everything necessary for someone to use it via FFI.
tsuru··on A AI etymology deconstructor – can guess fake words
It did not like supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
tsuru··on Emacs Tree-sitter custom highlighting
Wow authored by person who created Solar Realms Elite... A blast from my past crossing into my present.

(A bit reductionist of his many accomplishments in between, I know, it's just a thing that's hit me in the moment)

tsuru··on Moom 4: Next-generation window manager
The first of this macOS WMs that implement something that understands the wayland protocol -- bridges it to macOS compositor or whatever -- will really have my money.
tsuru··on What is an SBAT and why does everyone suddenly care
I lost all illusion this was the case after hushmail https://www.wired.com/2007/11/encrypted-e-mai/
tsuru··on Mini imported Japanese vehicles may soon be banned on Massachusetts roads
Japan has different standards and driving environment around kei cars (I'm going to use K-car going forward).

- Their top speed limit even on highways is 100kmh / 60mph

- K-cars have yellow license plates and yellow license plates are not allowed on highways

I have a memory of seeing one of the infamous white K-trucks on an interstate in Nashville and was gobsmacked. These cars are not rated for highway / interstates in Japan, let alone the U.S.

I'm not sure if the U.S. has a similar visible markings for farm vehicles to allow K-cars city road travel and deny interstate travel. If not, I agree they should be banned until some sort of classification is made and driver culture / knowledge is propagated.

tsuru··on Windows 11 is now enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission
What happens when small-firm doctors, therapists, dentists, etc. are suddenly having your (their patients') medical information backed-up to OneDrive? Microsoft only provide HIPAA compliance if a certain paid tier is purchased. If they automatically turn OneDrive on how will this not be a privacy nightmare?
tsuru··on A new RISC-V Mainboard from DeepComputing
I'm not finding this in the tech specs so far... Does it support RVV? If so is its version post-1.0 or pre-1.0?
tsuru··on Google just updated its algorithm. The Internet will never be the same
Maybe they should get the Twitter treatment anytime they are mentioned: "Google formerly DoubleClick"
tsuru··on Planes in 3D Space
If you use 3D Plane-based Geometric Algebra (https://bivector.net) planes are vector elements and bivectors could be the line intersection of two planes. I'm grossly simplifying here, see link for more info on this interpretation. There are more algebras that have other interpretations of bivectors.
tsuru··on Why are shopping carts always broken?
It's been 20 years but I still miss the all-wheel steering of my grocery in Japan (jasco). Every cart now feels broken without it, even Costco's.
tsuru··on The engineering behind Figma's vector networks (2019)
I haven't had time to deep read all the way through yet, but this feels so similar to the half-edge structure used in many 3d mesh editing programs but in 2d...
tsuru··on Blender 16yo winner of UK young animator of the year
I'm really craving dango now. Well done.
tsuru··on Grammarly editor writing services are malfunctioning

tsuru··on Pixar, Adobe, Apple, Autodesk, and Nvidia form alliance for OpenUSD

tsuru··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (July 2023)
Bernard Health | Software QA Analyst | ONSITE | Nashville, TN | Full-time | https://jobs.bernieportal.com/afa31732

Company Overview:

HR is hard. Nobody starts a company because they passionately want to run payroll and handle benefit administration for their employees.

We provide software to make the “running a business” side of things easier, and in the process we get to help thousands of people daily.

To make sure that we continue to help these people the best that we can, we’re looking for a QA Analyst to join the team and make sure we’re doing it right.

Job Overview:

As a a QA Analyst, you’re in a unique position. Your role is the only manual-automation hybrid in the company, and you interface between the product/development teams and the support teams. You replicate and write up unexpected behaviors within the application, manually verify our weekly releases before and after deployment (on Staging, and Production respectively), and you write automated tests to reduce future manual test cases.

If you noticed the grammatical error in this section, you’re probably the kind of person we’re looking for — let’s talk.
