Yes. This is how I learned the atomics and memory ordering. It's so much fun to read, and super interesting. Highly recommend!

Yeah, this worries me a lot. I have a quite tricky Type 1 diabetes, which I can manage well with an artificial pancreas software that's running in my phone. Now if they tamper my phone, or take it completely away when crossing the bord

One very common queue implementation you can use to implement actors is the crossbeam-deque. It's work-stealing in nature, works in multi-threaded environments and has no locks. The implementation is quite simple to follow: https:&#x2

Is it really so? I haven't checked all the implementations, but my take here would be to use a channel with atomics instead of a lock...

Burroughs also wrote a lovely book on cats he met. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cat_Inside I always liked that one. Naked Lunch grew on me, but was a bit tough when I read it for the first time. I was 13 back th

Yeah. I've been using vim since the 90's. A bit of emacs here and there, and more recently some helix too. Zed was the first GUI editor that took me over. I've always hated VSCode, but Zed is so fast and its UI just clicks on

Hey! I was reading your extensions code a lot. The backwards compatibility is done in a smart way. Several layers of wit and the editor makes the choice based on wasm headers which one to choose. I learned something from that code, cool stu

I run Zenarmor in addition to Adguard at home, which can detect DoH traffic and intercept it. You have to pay for this enterprise level tool, but if you are worried about DoH, Zenarmor is so far the easiest tool to block it. In our house th

Depends. Not always. But there is this one shop selling shawarma sandwich made to fresh bread that costs 3.90€. And that is already a good lunch. A döner sandwich can cost 2.90€ the cheapest. Bakeries have baguettes with cheese and ham for

I'm in the capital city of Germany, a sandwich in the bakery around the corner is about 3-4 euros.

Fedora Kinoite with KDE Plasma 6 is pretty good. And will not get worse in the future either. Just need to look outside of the commercial offerings...

I can't understand why government offices for many countries are still on Twitter. At least Germany has their own mastodon service, but my home country Finland still uses Twitter.

I never thought to see a link to a Pitchfork Sunday review on HN. I've been reading them with my morning coffee every Sunday for years.

Urban Terror. That's a game I haven't heard about in a long time. It must've been somewhere between 1998-2002 I played it. Damn, we even had a clan, and I played it on my Linux PC. Does it still exist? If so, I probably get i

Yep. I also draw the line if you are hateful against minorities. I don't care what you think inside your heads or what are you afraid of. But if you make the effort to make the lifes of people already in danger and suffering even worse

We switched to Depot last week. Our Rust builds went down from 20+ minutes to 4-8 minutes. The easy setup and their docker builds with fast caching are really good.

It's all about building these things by yourself. The tools are there, and Pebble used to be the first smartwatch every open source diabetic I know used (including myself). If you're not familiar, here's a good starting point

Yep. And I've hated every second when I needed to write something with it. The editor of Notion is horrible, compared to Zed, Vim, Emacs et.al. The markdown import has been broken for years, and it is not easy to export your writeups f

It is a crazy amount of carbs. As a type 1 diabetic pizza is typically one of the trickiest foods to compensate with insulin. And that is only about 100 grams of carbs. That thing is almost double. And in pure sugar form...

As I said elsewhere, the problem with German retailers is when something goes wrong, and you need to deal with the German customer service. They think customer is worth nothing and are really rude when you discuss with them. Amazon just say

Germany is still one of the rare places where it's totally fine to buy a Porsche with cash. There was a good article (missing the link, sorry) how the Italian mafia uses this loophole to launder money. And another thing is credit cards

by pimeys 2y ago
Exactly this. And if I can avoid that, I will. Edit: and what makes this so annoying is that I really want to be a nice guy for the customer service, not an asshole. And when they treat me like this, I turn into a monster and I'm not h

Your mileage may vary. I've had horrible experience with German shops, when you have an issue they do whatever to make it look like it's your own fault. And you can only call them or send them snail mail, which is still quite comm
