I also reinstalled windows one too many times and used norton backup.

I am not clever enough to understand that I could just do it with linux by disk dumping into an image, but hey, old times

I installed ubuntu for my mother, she just needs to download pdfs and read pdfs, look at images, use gmail. Sometimes she opens a document with LibreOffice, but no power usage.

Seems to work, the maintenance is also now super easy, ssh, update. Something wrong and she needs support? I ssh, open up a tunnel and connect via remina to her desktop to explain.

I had a situation once when Ubuntu did literally not go into the Desktop Environment anymore, but all I did was update and upgrade packages and it started working again.

Dungeon Keeper I had really good graphics for those PC requirements.

recommended system: 133mhz cpu with 16MB of ram

I even played it after II came out because it felt so snappy and fast

O wow, the architecture in Dishonored gave me always combine vibes, now I do understand why

My Mainboard has TPM turned off so I did not to sweat about the upgrade.

Now I will be forced to I guess.

I always thought the tech guys would be the good guys. That's probably because I'm also in tech.

Good old knight fighting dragon and becoming a dragon after all :(

> Try exposing a grpc api to a browser

I remember being grilled for not creating "jsony" interfaces:

message Response { string id = 1; oneof sub { SubTypeOne sub_type_one = 2; SubTypeTwo sub_type_two = 3; } }

message SubTypeOne { string field = 1; }

message SubTypeTwo { }

In your current model you just don't have any fields in this subtype, but the response looked like this with our auto translator: { "id": "id", "sub_type_two": { } }

Functionally, it works, and code written for this will work if new fields appear. However, returning empty objects to signify the type of response is strange in the web world. But when you write the protobuf you might not notice

Bought a mini pc with N100 and 16GB of ram, SSD included, no need to buy an enclosure, everything setup and ready, just needed to install Linux from a USB stick with the normal procedure.

I might have chosen RPI5 if it had 16GB ram, but I went with x86 and I like it because there are no software issues anymore (redpanda was not working on rpi)

I recently tried clangd with nvim and it was so good

If you visit cities in China that are heavily invested in the electronics industry you could buy a cheaper iPhone 16 pro with 128GB and upgrade it to 1TB.

But if you do that regularly, you probably have the money to buy the 1TB version outright.

Is the underlying kernel emulated in QEMU?

Construction companies are very volatile but building temples is probably a steady business model

I agree pooling is a valid strategy. I just love those articles when people use some dark profiling magic to find something like misaligned memory causing severe and unexpected performance degradations.

So the root cause of the slowness was not found, it was just circumvented by keeping 3 xterms open and just using hiding/showing them?

Yes, there are multiple efforts which compile JVM bytecode and CIL bytecode to WASM.

I this exploitable for all architectures? For some reason I am under the impression that its only for x86

Yeah, I did not enjoy that part, it was basically an abrubt stop. It also sounded that they were compiling java to js and afterwards to wasm, I would like to know what engine they are using.

Yes you can compile CPython and utilize its GC.

The idea of WasmGC is to make objects which are available in the browser environment (like window) available in the wasm module. It is a spec which allows you to pass objects which are actually managed by the browsers GC to your wasm code.

I just bought it a month ago for max support for a ridiculous price like 50eu :(

> And nothing coming out of either the US or Europe comes close to addressing the true problem, which is that these companies are simply too big.

The tech industry will never be a genuinely free market as long as big tech companies are allowed to be as big as they are today.

What we have today is a centrally-planned economy by MBA sociopaths, operated as a looting ground for the rich.

It will never function on normal competitive, supply-and-demand market principles.

Because, even though a healthier market is the only thing that has a hope of a return to the fast-growing tech industry of prior decades, it would also require big tech companies to accept a smaller slice of the overall pie and allow new competitors to grow.

Why do that when you can strangle the market and keep the entire corpse for yourself?

This went from CSS framework bad to capitalism is bad really quick

The X Windowing system is a hackers delight.

If you have a remote server with UI, you can set up a X Window server on your Windows/MacOS machine and forward via SSH X messages to use GUI apps on your server, but view the result locally. The Responsiveness of the UI depends on your network capabilities.

Can they fax me the pricing page?

love it, even `bun upgrade` is fast:

On my rpi 4 that I capped to 600mhz for performance testing:

Bun v1.1.0 is out! You're on 1.0.36 [3.93s] Upgraded.

I remember building an Ahtlon 64 system with a GeForce 7900GTX at that time and I played with Far Cry everything maxed out. Half of the cost of that computer was the graphics card and it was the absolute highest end model that money could buy.

Recently I bought a graphics card for 600 when the prices came down, a 3070 RTX, a more conservative choice since the top models now go for 2k.

You parse the string and then iterate over the passed arguments and check if everything adds ups. Rather straightforward.

Expressing it in the type system like TS did is impressive, but not simple.

Zig is moving away from LLVM. Its already has its own backend targeting debug builds for x86 and arm. ReleaseFast and ReleaseSmall is an entire different beast, but its going to be tackled eventually.

My auntie could eat a lot and was always super thin. Then she turned 50 and her metabolism stopped keeping up and gained a lot of weight.

Saw the same happening with someone turning 25, super thin athletic body into gut over the course of 2 years, diet was the same for 5 years.

The rent seeking has begun

Thinking of it, there are small UPS devices which have usb output, maybe I should buy one.
