Even supposedly prosumer gear sucks at ipv6. The ubiquiti situation was awful about a year ago. I got a dynamic prefix and wanted to setup ULA. Maybe I was dumb, but I couldn't find any way to do it. Heck, I couldnt even see which pref

Cool! I just implemented RBB trees for c#. Not on this level, mostly just for fun. I am not a programmer at all, but I do like myself a neat data structure. I am currently fighting the JIT to understand why a simple flags check (ANDing two

Well. If python is a dynamically scoped language, what they do is correct. If they are lexically scoped (which python is described as) the variable defined in the if should never have different visibility in the same scope. In a lexically s

Ruby is a lot less awful than Python in my opinion. That is of course a very subjective opinion. The only reason I write more Python than Ruby is that ruby lacks the libraries I need. Somewhere along the line Python got all the momentum, an

I will prempt the comment that always shows up in discussions of this kind: No. Typeclasses do not replace proper macros. Go home, you are drunk.

Funny this shows up on HN now! Jean Niklas wrote his thesis about RRB trees, which is an evolution of the persistent vectors of clojure fame. I have spent many hours reading his thesis lately, because I just spent two months porting his c-

I recently ported c-rrb to c#, and when the first port was done Unused ai to help me refine the code. It was a pleasant experience, apart from the AI every three or four prompts introduced subtle bugs. In the end, Claude and I managed to sp

Oh, I could have picked a other font. I just get a smug feeling when forcing these websites to use Arial. The main reason for using another font on these web pages is that their own choices are worse than not changing it. So that list of t

People like this makes me want to use Times New Roman more. Maybe not Butterick specifically (the website is fine), but all those people that make a blog and pick a font before even knowing what they even want to write. Most of the time peo

I have 3 intel gpus. One for light gaming and desktop use (3 screens), another one for light gaming and one for video transcoding. The experience is flawless for me. One of the cards seems to have issues with qemu and opengl rendering, but

I had Nvidia up until a year ago or so. Every single time I had to do any kind of maintenance it was because of their drivers. Since I don't play any more games than Minecraft and don't really need a fancy gpu I have switched to i

Reminds me of my friend who has bought a shit load of 1.5v AA lithium batteries. The buck converters in those little bastards wreak havoc with every speaker around. His TV remote disconnects my Bluetooth headphones every time.

I hope all distros go down the microos/bazzite/atomic path of immutable base state. It is by far the largest simplification I have had in my desktop experience since about 2010, but then I started on some kind of red hat version (

I was never an AI guy. I have always had a healthy dose of suspicion towards it. A week ago I decided to try it. I had ported the lovely c-rrb library, and was pretty satisfied with the result. However, when I was done with the basic port I

When I studied in Germany in 2010 I went to an Indian place that had a "small plate" (which was decent even for me, a man in my 20s at the time) for €2.80. The large one was €4.80. The food was magnificent, and was traditional Ind

I used it to write a macro processor for C which allowed me to write some macros with s-expressions and have it expand to a lot of C code. That way I could actually write real macros for C. I have also written GUI apps for various things. K

I came here to write just that. It is all over the place as well. I find it a bit disturbing with regard to how one defines struggle against power. What does those views mean with regards to the long term priorities of the software?

Isn't this pretty obvious if you spent more than three weeks writing python? There are lots tricks, but these listed here seem relevant to all languages. There is an almost an incountable amount of ways to write bad and slow python co
