I've recently swapped out my dumb TV with a smart TV. The choice to go smart after clinging on to my dumb TV + old-school Chromecast was only motivated by advances in display tech. In retrospect the smart TV is a considerably worse exp

Huh, so it was B then. And good idea to use the folder, that's something you'd be more likely to click on than a regular file.

And also, which person setting up an air gapped system allows execution from a removable media? You'd think with that level of paranoia you'd have a couple more rules in place.

Sure, if you're the one who created the USB drive then you could make it not actually a USB drive. But this sounds like an infected machine infecting previously safe USB drives and turn them into malicious ones. And I'm not sure I

I've been wondering lately how these USB execution attacks happen. Surely no modern system auto-runs things from a USB, so there has to be some kind of executable on the drive which the user of the drive either A. Expects to be there,

You might want to have a look at svgbob or typograms then. I used the former for creating diagrams for a guide on Git and it worked really well. Of course Markdown editors could be better at "drawing" things, which would solve the

Great language, would highly recommend at least trying it out.

Doesn't happen a lot, but it does happen from time to time. Of course only if you actually update your Nim version, so it's not like interpreted languages like Python where stuff stops working if a new version comes out and your p

Haven't heard of self-texting before, didn't even know it was possible. But I've been having a similar idea to this based off-of writing in a physical notebook. Basically my notes there end up sequentially, and I was missing

Which has the same battery size as this machine. Considering my own experience with Linux on laptops (granted with i3 and not KDE) this machine could be a beast in terms of battery life.

JNRowe beat me to it! Feel free to browse the rest of my GitHub, its mostly Nim code. And if you want to talk Nim or Fuse you can join the Nim Discord server (or the Matrix or IRC bridge) or post on the Nim forum.

The audio player is unfortunately not on GitHub yet, I've still got a few kinks to work out before it's in a shareable state. The statusbar project was also shared mostly so the other Nimdow users could play around with it, so the

Can you actually write to the /proc directory? Working with libfuse I've had much of the same ideas, basically allow programs to expose information as files. The beauty of the fuse system is also that you only have to respond to r

Oh this is cool! I recently wrapped libfuse in Nim and after porting the 'hello' filesystem example I made one which is more or less exactly this. However my version you pipe data and have to provide a mountpoint, then when it&#x2

I still wish someone would take up the torch from ZLauncher. I still use it on my phone as it's just such a great launcher. I tried Niagara, but I found myself looking for the letters too much. With ZLauncher I can type the letter with

Yeah this is the drawback I was talking about. Vim certainly helps a bit, but some kind of editor or plugin which allowed you to more easily move stuff around, draw lines, draw boxes and circles, etc. would be very handy. The current approa

I recently had to draw some diagrams for documenting something. After looking at various Markdown-friendly options I landed on svgbob[1]. I believe it's a superior solution to these kinds of graph drawing tools for Markdown for one spe

The trick with the water sensor is really neat, might have to look more into that. I also wish that more companies would design some of these building block smart devices for us hobbyist. Don't tie it specifically to water, maybe have

What's up with that room only having three very widely spaced talks?

by PMunch 3y ago
It really depends on _what_ you want to replace, as in the application you have. Nim is great for micro-controller programming typically done in C for example. Since it has painless interop with C it also comfortably uses C libraries, so yo

I was wondering if it was bases and not bytes, interesting and also super confusing!

This line kinda makes me think they offload at least something to the host: > Theoretical max output when system is run for 72 hours at 400 bases / second. Outputs may vary according to library type, run conditions, etc. Why would l

Ooh, that's pretty clever. I wonder if this might be useful for things like managing cloud servers or docker clusters. Apart of course from its more obvious use of managing a set of "personal" machines (I'm picturing a c

Well not necessarily. My markdown doesn't have a single target. I write articles in my markdown editor, but I export them via Pandoc with a simpler output that I then style on my website. When I said for testing new parsers I imagined

The JSON parsing is actually done before the timer starts. If you look at the raw results Julia actually comes out very poorly when the JSON part is taken into account.

As someone who contributed to this benchmark it really isn't a great one. First of the JSON parsing is done before the timer starts. If you look at the raw results you can see that the full runtime of the Julia solution for 60k posts i

Yes that would be nice. That way it at least shows up in searches. Thanks for trying out my solution.

If the only goal was to make an enjoyable game I believe moving it away from actual RISC instructions and over to something even simpler and possibly more visual could be a way to go. The logic would still be the same, but the text and numb
