I do use YouTube Premium today, but I didn’t at the time of deciding to enable monetization. :)

Indeed! But if I did suddenly have a lot more money, I would use it to pay people in said community to work on SerenityOS :^)

At the moment, I'm paying myself a net salary of $2,700 / month. It's perfectly livable where I am :)

You are already powerful enough! Some of our most active developers today didn't even know C++ when they started. If you're interested, look for something small that annoys you, and then see if you can't figure out enough of

That's right, as of May 2021 I'm working on SerenityOS full time, supported by donations. :) I posted this about it at the time: https://awesomekling.github.io/I-quit-my-job-to-focus-on-Ser...

Whoa, the T1200 was my first computer as a child and I found one a while ago without a power supply. This could be extremely useful for me, so thank you very much for posting this! :)

If you look at the contributors graphs[1] on our GitHub repository, you'll find that folks other than myself have added tens of thousands of lines of code. I'm not quite the power-hungry gatekeeper you might imagine :^) Regardless

Indeed, we were at 50/100 on February 21st: https://twitter.com/awesomekling/status/1495875749693243406 And here's a Quote Tweet chain as I was posting progress updates from 99/100 all the way back

If I open this HN discussion page in the browser, it currently uses 44MB of private memory. We can definitely shave a couple of megabytes off of it with some effort, but supporting the contemporary web on a 4MB budget seems infeasible.

> I don't know that making SerenityOS a daily driver for anyone who isn't interested in hacking on it is an actual goal for Andreas. My main goal is to make a system for myself to use. I'm not particularly interested in wo

We haven't really begun to optimize for memory usage yet, so it swings wildly depending on the content you're viewing. At this stage, we're primarily focusing on correctness and compatibility, and performance is mostly a luxu

I, too, enjoy Linus's YouTube channel! :^) His meticulous approach of implementing specifications by writing code interleaved with quotes from the spec has inspired me to adopt the same style.

We actually still don't pass Acid2 :^) Acid1 and Acid3 are good now, but Acid2 still needs some work on CSS tables and miscellaneous little things.

We don't use C++ exceptions anywhere in SerenityOS. Instead we use an ErrorOr<T>[1] return type for functions that may fail. These are then automatically propagated by use of a TRY() macro[2]. I haven't thought about encodin

Guest here. Thanks for having me on your show, Adam! I'm definitely a fan of talking more about things that we've been hiding from each other. On that topic, one of the most common questions I get personally is "which drugs d

Thanks for having me on the podcast, Adam! You asked about some things I had never talked about before, and I really appreciate getting nudged outside my comfort zone! :^)
