That is a curious question. What do you think? Swim is definitely better now. Better health, energy levels, improved sleep. Swim can now wear normal clothes and not be so self conscious about his body because he was usually the biggest pers

like i said, someone who isn't me was able finally watch how he ate . Swim grabbed a big plate, sat in front of a mirror, and ate it all! It was definitely not a good experience for swim, but as you said, it was a mind opening one, be

Someone who isn't me maybe realized he was pigging out on food and started eating consciously. The biggest change Someone Who Isn't Me told was being able to, by sheer observation and mindfulness, wait the "hunger pangs"

I knew there would be some relation with drugs in the text. People who think psychedelic drugs (even Cannabis) are just about 'having fun' or 'getting high' are skipping past the biggest ability these compounds have: to

Sounds fun, but still on your hypothetical scenario: all that complexity and proprietary cores and ndas would essentially tie them to the supplier of chips, essentially gagging the evolution of the whole CF architecture in the long run. If

Well i'm not sure it is meant to be 'used' as input to anything else. It's nice as it is: just someone having fun coding with self-imposed constraints (in this case: doing something interesting with a really small card&#

Can agree. Now we need 10 megs of javascript to even show some simple content on the web and whatnot. In that regard, this website is keeping the hope real, being really lightweight and snappy.

And then came z-modem and we could squeeze an additional bytes/s out of the connection, depending on the content. I remember seeing a steady 4.0kB/s on a 33600 baud USRobotics modem and going "wow we are at peak performance,

.well-known is also used for ACME for auto-certificate generation and renewal. I still would like to know the backstory around this folder, just like OP.

I disagree. Sadly, we need to balance features, performance and expectations with our own expectations about what kind of software we want to deliver. I sincerely hate Electron and the whole ecosystem of bloated apps it enables BUT having

Couldn't agree more. Let's not forget we now have "native apps" which are actually web browsers packed with a full node.js instance and a local database, eating up several hundred megs of space for seemingly trivial task

Hacker News is really good! I consider it like a pre-buyout Slashdot in its golden era.

We need to fight software bloat. Old computers and hardware are awesome for several reasons, specially if you really enjoy tinkering with computers! - Linux/Un*x compatibility is usually pretty good. and those OSes are good for tinke

Same here, bro. I sincerely cannot even start to fathom how could 0x4015 create that amount of interaction, data, audio, shaders, engine, etc and just pack it into 4 measly kB. Damn! I know they employ algorithmic composition for basically

It's nice when something is so well written that it almost literally transports you to that moment. I was agitated to know what would happen next as the narrative unfolded. Can recommend.

These "how they render these graphics" breakdowns are always like meditation to me. Even tho I don't work in graphics programming there's this vibe in these posts that always puts me in a chill mood. Instead of skimming

How can you achieve a +100 Magicbane without Wizard-mode? Damn. I didn't watch the TTYREC but I am seriously puzzled by that. Anyone has insight into this?

Keep going, bro. It took me 12 years. I try to explain my friends how fiendishly hard NetHack is but they always say stuff like 'Well I've won in Dark Souls so I know about hard games'. It's not even in the same league i

Steve, I don't know you but I wish I did. You seem like one of those really lighthearted folks that make everything better in life. From reading your answers on IRC and Hacker News, You are always humble and eager to provide answers. W

Audio software has strict buffer/latency demands which usually cannot be guaranteed on interpreted language platforms. Doing audio synthesis with JS or any other interpreted language really is totally possible and has been done in a mo

also, Renoise is frigging awesome. it is a blessing to be able to work with a different paradigm than piano roll and with such modern tooling (renoise supports vsts, rewire integration and whatnot), being essentially a supercharged tracker.

Extremely interesting explanation. Thank you man. I would like to peruse your electronic skills for another quite unrelated question that has been hovering my head for quite a while. I know that normal USB (1,2) devices charge using the pro
