I honestly feel like building something like a PDA would be easier using a bespoke layout. You can entirely remove stuff you don't need (like, say, the VPU (lol)) and save battery life. You can also optimize for what you're actual

Counterpoint: at the same time, it's something you can do and not do at the same time - everything in AWS is virtualized (save for $$$$$ physical hosts almost nobody uses) and it's not like it's impossible to undetectably a

That article mostly calls out some Rust-vs-C comparison points about a specific Python library that were honestly reasonably interesting to read. The Zig part has a number of updates and clarifications that contribute helpful balance while

The day I connected "hang on, Explorer can browse FTP sites directly" and "ftp.cdrom.com" was fun. A bit wall-of-folders and distractingly laggy, but fun.

Sorry for the late reply, lost the tab for a bit ._. Something that might be relevant is that that LuaJIT can JIT-optimize FFI calls from Lua but can't/doesn't optimise calls into Lua made via C. I might be able to go dig

My vague understanding (just from reading blog articles) is that iTunes became an insane metamorphization of the Eye of Sauron, an infinite pit of quicksand (blub blub) and Yes™, Inc (all things to all people). Y'know, iPod (and later
