Cheers - I may email once I get into it. The (disclaimer'd) MacOS build actually segfaults on startup but I'll probably be able to work out what's happening there :) Talking of Raylib, from the fooling around I've done s

Great stuff. I'm gonna study this code and your blog post because I was thinking about using Raylib with MLton. Way to go on keeping the SML dream alive!

I stopped having to proactively learn most gotchas by just having the spectacularly useful shellcheck linter automatically run on save.

I wonder if the AirPods firmware could be written in Swift. I gather that Apple's "OS" they currently use for them and other devices is a project called RTKit.

There's a lot of raster data in today's HiDPI world. For example, if I have iTerm2 on the left side of my screen and this browser on the right side, the iTerm2 window alone has an area of more than 7-million pixels. Is HiDPI (aka

When I was paying attention during the 90s and 2000s I remember this being the hype in magazines / on the web for pretty much EVERY upcoming console. Namely that it was so outrageously powerful that it might be considered a supercomput

Reacting to the AI kerfuffle is all in a day's work for Mr. Nachman. He also fixed an unrelated bug I reported by the time I got up the next day. What a beast!

Lol does he have to "brand" everything he does?

"Silent" to one person can be annoyingly noticeable to another person. You often see this kind of back and forth in discussions of fan-having devices.

This makes me think of the claim you sometimes see that memory-safety is not that relevant for game development because in many cases games aren't security-sensitive software. But even putting security vulnerabilities aside completely,

iTerm is a feature-packed terminal emulator that's had shell-integration and various smart features to automatically trigger actions based on the terminal text content for a long time, long before the current AI wave.

Massively more configurable, and generally more features. Use iTerm if you'll enjoy trawling through all the Preference panes and menus to tweak and find neat stuff.

By the time the Swift project eventually has a great message to share on that, there could well be hardly any non-iOS/macOS developers listening. Look at the last 5-10 years. The momentum gap between e.g. Rust and Swift in the wider de

Notably you're avoiding the question of whether you've owned or indeed ever even used the device. Kind of odd to be sufficiently motivated to battle someone's first-hand report if that's the case.

GitHub is Social Coding™. To be surprised and borderline offended by PRs is to not understand the concept of the site one signed up for.

I think it is a distasteful ad, but getting vocally "offended" about it is rather melodramatic.

Problem solved: https://linearmouse.app/ Approximately the same features as SteerMouse but free. I've voluntarily donated to the dev, though.

Not sure about this. Sounds like it's somewhat arbitrarily reframing RPC over HTTP as OS system calls. But maybe I just don't get it.

I'm a happy SteerMouse user, but it should be noted that if all you want to do is flatten out the Acceleration curve then the native System Settings since macOS Sonoma let you disable acceleration.

I thought the gimmick with this would be that it was the prominent rabbit character talking, but it just sounds like a generic female voice assistant.

They should have brought you in as a consultant so that they would have arrived at the correct decision. Alas, they are now doomed to be wrong forever.

In my experience, the subcommand `direnv exec ...` works just fine in non-interactive scenarios like launchd jobs. I'm not sure if it even involves a shell of any kind in that mode.

TempleOS was not just a dry operating system project. It included lots of original creative media like games, music and more. Very different to Competent Systems Programmer writing Unix Clone #983

To me the gist of the review was that it's sluggish and lacking in features/integrations. Both extremely common attributes of 1st-gen products, and not particularly dramatic.

That's also how you become an extreme outlier at Bash. Actually read the manual.

Just let people make their own mind up about the quality of the slides. Half the audience will probably think they are fine, and it won't be the first time the other half has seen mediocre slides.
