I'm working on an embedded project where I'm actually thinking about using ECS on a STM32H5. It's not about cache-friendly locality (waitstates on internal SRAM for MCUs is basically a rounding error compared to the DRAM late

I have stories (assuming that they've made the cut) that are either in my favorites or that I've submitted, that I'd like to know how they were classified and alongside what other stories. So instead of browsing this from the

This appears to be organized top-down, with categories as the entry point. How do we reverse-lookup a story? That is, given a story, how can I find it (if it's there) and walk it back up into its category?

That article made me chuckle. I'm currently building a full-blown OpenAPI toolchain at work, where the OpenAPI document itself is the AST. It contains passes for reference inlining, document merging, JSON Schema validation, C++ code ge

Most of my known userbase hangs out in the decomp.me Discord server. Each project also tends to have its own dedicated Discord server. The Windows decompilation community is far more fragmented than the console one, as it hasn't coales

You only need a full DB if you want to fully delink your artifact. You can just clean up the subset you're interested in exporting (the fully populated disclaimer is just there because there's a lot you can get away with, as long

Indeed, you can kludge anything together into working chimeras, as long as you can mend the ABIs together. I've done a case study where I've ported a Linux a.out program into a native Windows PE program without source code: https

Half-assing self-hosting sucks, regardless of the underlying platform. You tie things together with shoestrings and gum, leaving ticking timebombs and riddles to your future self. This is the point where I'm supposed to describe my sel

The current US administration wants a captive Europe. One that buys its defense, energy and technology products from them. One that sells its territory, regulations and know-how to them. Ask the Department of State if they'd like a Eur

It's not about the precision, it's the yield. We've divested our tactical options back in the 1990s because our nuclear policy is one of strict sufficiency and all our nukes are above a hundred kilotons of TNT. That doesn&#x2

Being entirely self-taught, I'm not sure how to describe my style. If I have to, it's kinda a nondescript knock-off of Gisèle Lagacé's recent webcomics. As for the subjects, being a horny teenager at the time I mostly drew sc
