even the rust-analyzer plugin for plugin for VSCode installs and runs without any fuss, definite improvement from when I last saw it in 2019. Re: apt install - I never trust the OS packages for anything like developer tools, I'd rather

It feels l33t to appropriate the terminology of a professional - like "We need to control the optics of the situation" "I flashed my cellphone but it failed and now it's bricked." but the unsophisticated public gets

Wizardry, like Lode Runner and Spelunker, is a well beloved old favorite in Japan - appearing on PC and consoles. Lode Runner and Spelunker even have Switch ports. The people who'd worked on the original Dragon Quest saw Wizardry and w

It's the same as Amiga fanaticism. Hardware is more expensive, software is a lot more arcane. People put a lot of work into getting their computers to work the way they wanted to. iOS is a utility to me, I already have my set patterns

this is part of the greater lament of FP languages in industry. You might have to be satisfied with a kind of FP flavored C#, which in newer versions of the language isn't all that bad The thinking is that there's a million C# dev

The kernel people can say one thing, userland people can say another. "It compiles, it runs! No smoke tests. libc is busted? oh well, patches welcome!"

Not knowing anything I'm guessing it's all embedded/non-interactive systems, but I can't imagine someone compiling a brand new new 5.9 kernel with drivers for a twenty year old board.

Yes, their job is to Bill Hours, so if they're working an inefficient process* or dealing with a bad architecture that needs all hands on deck to deploy anything or the developers environment takes ten minutes to go from edit->compi

I get it, just like an iPhone can track the health of an installed battery, an oem laptop manufacturer should be able to track the effectiveness of a cooling solution and know that the fans are worn or dirty or you've blocked the vents

I replaced the thermal compound my trust old dell Latitude. Barely an hour of effort undoing Phillips screws and scraping off the seven year old gak. Roughly a 15 C decrease under load. Fans are less of a blowdryer and more of a hand warme

Each line gets translated down to a few bytes, maybe two to ten depending on the opcode. The downside being that each line doesn't do a whole lot. And I can imagine that this is an absolute ear pull to try to debug with the tools they

I know... dotnet and Go aren't exactly hurting for effort for things like docs and tooling that take a project from good to great.

My general file card on Rust's appropriateness: It's for anywhere you want an iron grip on memory and correctness and the cost of screwing up is very large and don't need a quick minimum viable product. You'd expect to

There’s a FastROM conversion for the Super Ghouls and Ghosts. The original was plagued with slowdown while the conversion runs very well. This leads me to think that the game was originally designed with fastROM in mind, but then they took

Any context would be nice. This is a modified/wrapped client, right? edit: any forums software I ever write is going to use a 'fallback to static rendering' circuit breaker setup in the case of slashdotting.

As a college student, I can remember my school's engineering job fair in 1999 taking up three floors of the student union building. In 2000 (2001?) it was down to one floor and nothing but companies like HP, IBM, and Microsoft.
