   Hey all, As a follow up to my relatively successful series in x86 Assembly of last year[1], I started making an OS that fits in a boot sector. I am purposefully not doing chain loading or multi-stage to see how much I can squeeze out of 510

   If anything, I know people contemplated the opposite (i.e., finding a less hype-driven job) I think it's anyway not a strong reason to leave or stay, at this point. It's still "yet another technology", and I'd be su

   I'd say Vivaldi[0] scratches that itch better for me, without having to sell my soul to the crypto gods. I only wish it did not crash randomly on MacOS a couple of times per week. [0]: https://vivaldi.com/

   This is so cool! I went through similar struggles when I implemented my js emulator last summer (though, admittedly, FPS was never so low there). You just made me wanna pick it up again (:

    In a long train ride over the weekend I made this little tool to chat with Ollama from VSCode. I don't like AI assisted code completion as I find it distracting, but I like the convenience of not changing windows to look up the signatu

    I built something similar a couple of years back. Glad to see I wasn't alone in my itches https://github.com/shikaan/shmux

    Thanks so much! I am doing something similar to OP in my game engine, but I hand-rolled a font, which is readable but ugly af. This is going to be such a source of inspiration! Do people have favorites from the list?

    Hey, thanks for the feedback (: The second article is still shaping up, but I felt like publishing it to get some early feedback. What you mention are a couple of the reasons. At this point, I find it too dense (and it was even more so in f

    You got me thinking and I simplified the whole block. Removed the .bss part and just calling what goes in there "data". Thanks once again for the feedback :)

    You are correct. The focus of the series is in on accessibility. Sometimes it comes at the expense of telling the whole story: I was even on the fence on introducing the .bss block, honestly. The article mentions initialized variables, but

    I know it's probably hyperbole, but why > yes, I know, friends don’t let friends use STL, but that is a topic for another discussion ? Are there known shortcomings with the standard library in C++?

    Go newbie here. Can anybody elaborate on this piece of the docs? """ You might be thinking that it would be more usual to have an ops.Add(ColorOp{Color: red}) method instead of using op.ColorOp{Color: red}.Add(ops). It’s like
