gah, you're right, I was thinking of memory protection (as in, marking the relevant regions as read-write and read-execute) when I wrote MMU. It's of course optional, and you can ignore it for trivial examples, but most games and

I've never coded for SNES, but the GBA having access to a mainline, modern C compiler is a massive buff. Also, emulators for it have always been available on practically any computer, console and mobile phone, and there's many so-

I'd say the GBA is the sweet spot for this. The DS has you dealing with two cores you need to write a firmware for that have to communicate to do anything useful, a cartridge protocol to fetch any extra code or assets that wouldn&#x2

Same reason all the other mario flash games haven't, not a critical enough mass.

Not a Go dev, but I typically set up a CI with the oldest toolchains I support (usually a debian release), and only bump those versions when I really need something from the latest versions. Locally I build with the most recent tools. This

I could've sworn firefox had an "all tabs" preview button that looked like 4 blocks in a grid, before the Australis era. Can't find any pictures/video footage of it in action however. Best I could find is: https:&#

I just think it goes to show how little the window management of desktop OSes has improved over the years that desktop applications have had to up the ante... I also think the differing behaviour between different apps implementing split pa

Yeah. I'm surprised this along with the money thing are listed in the article at all. These are the sort of things you learn within the first month of writing assembly, and were widely used across the industry at the time (and times pr

This happened for a while with VRChat, though I don't know what it's like now.

It's worth noting that while these videos may have been unintentional, this was also an era when youtube was still inventing itself. Sure, there was real content creation, but the structures of sponsors and ad revenue that can be a rea

How do you back up and restore things without root? I've found that even with root, these days many backups are useless thanks to using hardware-backed encryption...

How do you use buildah? with dockerfiles? I find that buildah is sort of unbearably slow when using dockerfiles...

The point of TOR is that while it can be detected, at the entry nobody knows what you're sending to whom, and at the exit nobody knows who is sending what. The fed sniffing my TOR connection can't really do anything with it.

Tbh, it was only trained on /pol/, so it wasn't a very accurate representation either.

Control over your data is part of anonymity. Sure, everyone will know the service belongs to you, but you'll be in total control over who knows what exactly. To most people not in the eye of the law, that is most of the anonymity they

Either adding your script directory in front of the PATH, or creating `alias` that provide a full path to your script where a conflict exists, makes a whole lot more sense to me. I've never had this collision problem yet, despite appen

I think they mean you don't need ruffle if you can just export to web. The programming environment can be anything, but adding ruffle in the middle when it really doesn't need to be there, does indeed feel a bit tacky. Flash used

I was considering forking the base book and maintaining it, as I have kept an eye and occassionally built the project over the years (I use it a lot for package management/bootstrapping/cross compilation experiments), but it appea

eudev was just a copy of the udev part of systemd, with some patches to build on musl, and work without systemd. All of that has been upstreamed now, LFS has instructions on how to build udev from the latest systemd release, without buildin

The problem is mostly that programs started depending on aspects of systemd that are both very complex, and difficult/impossible to implement without ending up with systemd. Systemd's components don't play well with establish

I've been using it for a decade at this point now. Used to stay on top of all the additions and changes, but at this point it seems crystalized out. One of my favourite open source projects on android.

I've seen a few russian pirated game releases for linux do this, they just bundle a copy of wine (downloaded from the same places as e.g. lutris gets it from), and a start script that sets the WINEPREFIX variable to a pre-populated pre

I almost ignored this post because I can't stand this particular war, where examples are cherry picked to prove either answer. I'm very happy to see the nuanced take in this article, slowly deconstructing the implicit assumptions
