I'm a HUGE fan of TCC -- I've recently added a pretty cool feature to simavr: a way to translate the whole AVR core into 'C' and JIT compile it using libtcc (the backend of tcc). Result is amazing speed for emulation! h

For a million years I was a 'night owl' and did 2am, 8am or so sleep. I changed about 2 years ago to more like a 11pm, 6:30am or so. I know that a lot of people think it's a good idea and all that, but I think my productivity

Errr... OSX and iOS are also MACH based. I'd call them 'usable' ? :-) Funny bit is, back in the 90's when Apple bough NeXT, they trashed the NeXT version of MACH and used the one that was in... mklinux instead! I bet ver

It's actually not terribly difficult. There are good references, and I remember it took me about 4 days to write the very first version of simavr[0]. What's harder to emulate are all the peripherals, and all their quirks. In sim

Funny that, I've played all week-end with a RTL stick[0], and a £30 'weather station' thing from amazon[1]. Using rtl_433[2] it took no time at all to be able to receive what the sensor pods are sending over, it's really

"Just about every software project written has some serious bugs" There, fixed it for you. Seriously, vulnerabilities and bugs are found everywhere not just in C. I've been programming for 35 years, in so many languages I l

Yeah, again and again. it's like blaming a hammer for the potential of breaking your finger when you use it, and proposing the use of a spoon, instead.

licq, thanks for that, scary thoughts how much of my life back then passed thru licq. I'm still on ICQ, via pidgin. There's just 'me' these days, but I'm holding the fort. So there :-)

Thats usually the argument I used to explain why one doesn't need religion to feel a sense of awe: the fact you, or me exist at all is the result of millions of generations of our direct ancestors fighting for our survival with a mix o

It used to be better TBH -- you had access to all of the images high resolution versions (enough for print quality); now it seems you don't. Seems their 'angle' is that the process often useless images into nice ones -- it&#x

Actually the one I wear the most is the Steinhart diver one... because it's quite sturdy; and not expensive enough to be scared if it's bumped into stuff... It's really excellent value, I think. As a full blood nerd, my read

Funny that, my interest in watches started /because/ of the smart watches. I picked a cheap chinese automatic watch on aliexpress last year, just to see if it'd still annoy me to wear a watch, as it used to last time I tried

Looks cool, I'm a big fan of Sketchup, despite the lack of development the last few years -- perhaps this projects explains it! Anyone know how level it is with the self-hosted one? One feature I find amazing still is the photo-project

Photoshop was a little bit of a masterpiece back then (it arguably still is, deep down) -- it had it's own 'swap' system for large pixmaps that allowed you to work on images that were massively bigger than the onboard memory;

Classic MacOS dealt with the memory fragmentation in a pretty neat way tho. All code was relocatable to start with, and pretty much every memory block you'd allocate was also relocatable by using one further level of indirection call

Does it get as bad as OpenSCAD? I found that anything even remotely complex using OpenSCAD brings the machine down to a crawl. And I'm on an overclocked 5930K with 64GB ram ;-) I'd be very curious to see a couple screenshot of you

That looks interesting -- especially the path generator, as most CAM software are non-free and all clunky.. Funny that one of their example of clamps looks exactly the same as the one I've designed to hold the spindle on my CNC! (cut f

Well it IS pretty useful; that's why most of my documents start with a date part like "160822 Something Something"; they'll still be sorted by /creation time/ next time I make a change. Also very useful for pho

I was a heavy Flikr user for quite a long time; until the new laws were pushed (in the UK at least) to allow the likes of google to declare 'untraceable' images as fair game for their own business needs. It's now too easy for
