   I meant something capable of extending the GUI. For example, displaying the autocomplete with documentation and mouse scrolling. Shells can do that, but they are limited to text. I also want a marketplace where I can browse extensions made

   I love the idea of an IDE-like terminal! I think that it could greatly benefit from using its JS runtime for an extension system: visual autocomplete, syntax highlight, even fancy special effects.

   swc only does transpilation, it does not support TypeScript's type-checking which is its main feature.

   If you ever want to debug/mess with the memory saver you can look at "chrome://discards". Chromium already discarded tabs when the system memory pressure was high, what the memory saver brings is a smarter policy [0

   Most macOS settings are saved under the current user home directory, which isn't sealed.

    First time I'm hearing about CXL. I was going to ask if GPU vendors could benefit from CXL to make GPU memory directly accessible? But I got my answer: NVIDIA has launched GPUDirect which does pretty much that without CXL.

    I didn't know about the devtools protocol snapshots, pretty cool! I takes ~5 ms to generate an SVG for google.com (not including loading the page). For your use-case I'd recommend doing something similar but using the SkPicture st

    Thanks Slim! I'm indeed using the root of the word on purpose to ensure it splits into 5 characters, mapping 1:1 with the latin version while still showing the glyph substitution. I used the Janna LT font because it renders root words

    Ah I assumed it was recent, but didn't check. It's fixed now, thanks!

    Hopefully both! More precisely PDF, and bitmap with an option to encode as JPEG, PNG or WebP. I'll have to find a new name..

    I had a lot of people reach out this week-end for PDF support, so I'm planning on implementing it with PNG support this week. Thanks to Skia, it should just require a few lines of code.

    I had to look up what a BMC is: baseboard management controller, it's a chip on the motherboard that allows monitoring and administrating servers remotely independently from the OS through an independent connection.

    Apple provides the Accelerate framework [0] to access these instructions through high-level APIs. It is available in user-mode, and I doubt it switches to kernel mode although I didn't check. [0]: https://developer.apple.com

    Rust is mainly introduced to the kernel to allow writing safer drivers, which makes a lot of sense considering a crashing driver likely means a crashing computer.

    First time I'm hearing about Tachyum. Looks very promising, although it does sound too good to be true, especially the cross-ISA support. Interesting bit I found researching them: https://www.nextplatform.com/2020/

    WebAssembly is a sort of web-based compiler. Compiling WebAssembly to x86 isn't that much different from compiling LLVM's IR to x86. And nowadays, you can interop WebAssembly with most modern languages, making it a target of choic

    Dark stores are physical stores only used for online shopping. I remember hearing about "dark kitchens" which are restaurants doing deliveries, but not accessible/visible from the outside.
