I can't see any other way, but it can be hard to convince yourself to iterate on what's good. Recently I've been forcing myself to remember the "Second System effect". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#

The title buries the lede. I'm not too interested in another Dvorak, but the hexagonal mobile keyboard looks interesting!

Although the body of the story was quite different, the headline reminded me of this, "Forgotten Employee" (also mentioned in yesterday's thread): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17332440

For what it's worth it does match the original bitmap exactly if anti-aliasing is off and the font size is 11px. I found this out just a week or so back; I just did a similar project emulating Windows 9x.

My favourite in that class of tools is `ncdu`. In a few seconds you can navigate through the files in your system and see (+delete) the space wasters! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ncdu#/media/File:Ncdu_screen

Pledge was created as a response to low `seccomp` (Linux) and `capsicum` (FreeBSD) usage in the wild. Pledge trades off granularity for ease-of-use, and has seen quite a bit of adoption despite OpenBSD being a small ecosystem. As a Linux-ba

I wonder if the OS world will move towards lightweight but unforgiving sandboxing like OpenBSD's `pledge` and `unveil` system calls. It's crazy to me that most software is still completely fine to run around and set things as fire

Property-based testing libraries are good for this. They're usually not /quite/ fuzzing, as they're not as advanced, but they generate millions of tests are reduce failing examples to their simplest forms. I talk about i

I like it :) I've never been much of a hardware guy, so I didn't know anything about my CPU. I have a shell alias called `i` (for info) that runs `neofetch && duf`, and I added cpufetch to that command

TempleOS uses (Holy)C as a system shell (and for everything else). It certainly has its limitations at the command line, but on the flip side it makes writing "shell" scripts a whole lot easier!

I had a similar experience after watching a Computerphile video with John Hughes, one of the authors of the original propert-based testing tool, QuickCheck [1]. Running hundreds of thousands of unique tests and finding the simplified cases

This is a good talk by the core developer Raymond Hettinger [1]. He prefers pytest too. I don't do any crazy testing, but I really like property-based testing with Hypothesis, which is also mentioned. This video isn't Python but i

0 AD naval stuff can be pretty brutal. I read that some of the naval stuff was improves this last update. In any case, I don't think I've ever enjoyed naval combat in an RTS!

I ran into this in Zig and I was surprised that it wasn't caught. Since I'm newer to lower-level programming I didn't automatically think to look for this and I was lost for a day or two

I was always jealous of the mask as a fashion accessory in East Asian countries, and now that masks are commonplace, I'm much more comfortable walking outside in public
