Better ELF symbol lookup via DT_GNU_HASH(flapenguin.me)

Sure! It's very raw, though. There's a lot of functionality, and I use it to build all sorts of projects already. But a common thing I do is to write the stupidest possible version of a thing and only do the hard engineering when

I'm just a stupid systems programmer who just discovered Cloudflare. How much do you think that'd cost? Serving a pretty heavily cached SQLite database (i.e. everyone grabs the same bytes). I realize the answer depends on scale, s

The problem is that Arch doesn't need to quickly resolve (version -> manifest) for arbitrary versions. With Arch, /var/lib/pacman/sync/core.db has one release of a set of packages. When you install, you just

Please share. I’m interested in anything that’s roughly as simple as implementing a centralized registry, is easily inspected by users (preferably with no external tooling), and is very fast. It’s really important that someone is able to se

For most software, yes. But the value of a package manager is in its adoption. A package manager that doesn’t run up against these problems is probably a failure anyway.

I’m building Cargo/UV for C. Good article. I thought about this problem very deeply. Unfortunately, when you’re starting out, the idea of running a registry is a really tough sell. Now, on top of the very hard engineering problem of wr

Thanks for the kind words! I really appreciate it.

This is exactly the kind of thankless software which the world operates on. It’s unfortunate that such fundamental code hasn’t already been vectorized or the gills, but thank you for doing so! It’s excellent work

Yes, for now the approach is to provide simple programmatic interfaces over CMake and friends to make third party stuff easy to integrate. For example, SQLite: spn_autoconf_t* ac = spn_autoconf_new(dep); spn_autoconf_add_flag(ac, &quo

It’s about as related to Bazel as it is to, say, Maven. Bazel builds huge monorepos which use lots of languages. Not particularly related to C.

Yup! But not in any state to be linked, really. First impressions are a big deal. If you’re really curious, my GH handle is tspader and the repo is spn. The graph branch has been the main branch for a month or so, I need to merge badly.

In my case, to a fault…

Thanks for the encouragement! It really means a lot. Something should be out around the other side of the new year.

Thanks for the link! I’ve never seen this one. I’m going to take a look through it.

I’ll have a go at writing a package for sel4 as a delicious bowl of dog food. Are you interested in the result? If so, just reply with some handle where I can reach you.

Me too! It's pretty good. Unfortunately, it depend on Python. Not that Python's that bad. It's just that it's completely bonkers to me that building C, the most fundamental language that's commonly written today, th

I'm working on "Cargo but for C". It started out as something marginally more useful than vendoring your dependencies as submodules + baking in the knowledge of how to build a bunch of common projects. I realized, though, tha

AI programming, for me, is just a few simple rules: 1. True vibe coding (one-shot, non-trivial, push to master) does not work. Do not try it. 2. Break your task into verifiable chunks. Work with Claude to this end. 3. Put the entire plan in

A brain is an algorithm. Given an unreasonably precise graph of neurons, neurotransmitter levels at each junction, and so on and so forth, one could obtain the same result via pen and paper. It will just take a lot of long laborious effort.

Making a few pennies more from inference is not even on the radar of the labs making frontier models. The financial stakes are so much higher than that for them.

Yes, for simple projects, absolutely. But when you're shipping something as widely adopted as CC, I disagree. At the end of the day, you're making a UI. It happens to be rendered via the terminal. You still need accessibility, con

Gosh, apologies. I hope you catch this -- my burner email was wrong. It's robcrimedoer, no period.

Ink (and modern alternatives) probably are the best TUI toolkit. If you want to write a UI that's genuinely good, you need e.g. HTML, or some way to express divs and flex box. There isn't really another way to build professional

Incredible news on so, so many levels! (1) Bun is what technical startups should be. Consistently excellent decisions, hyper focused on user experience, and a truly excellent technical product. (2) We live in a world where TUIs are causing
