I work on open source projects* when I have a need that other tools don't quite fill properly, and because I like to work with languages like Rust and C that I don't get to use at my day job. I'd like to have a "buy me a

Oh cool, was that you also? I will after work today.

Wow, thank you very much! I've thought about trying to get a few of my projects into distribution repos but was somewhat intimidated by the process.

I have strace'd whatfiles, in fact that was a very useful way to debug a couple things, so maybe? I have not been able to attach to the same process with both whatfiles and strace, however.

Exactly, it's a difference in degree, not in kind. Rust isn't perfect with regard to memory errors, it's just massively better than C. I don't think pml1 will be convinced, but I've been working on a C project latel

But overall the two situations aren't nearly equivalent. Writing C, you're constantly at risk of making these mistakes. Writing Rust, you can keep the vast majority of your code safe and more closely examine the smaller unsafe are

I am working on a Linux program that will show you the files opened/read/written by another process (and its child processes/threads). I wanted to be able to run an installer and see exactly what files it creates. Or when Lib

Thanks! Mapper 1 is since done as well as battery-backed RAM support, and I'll be implementing mappers 2-4 in the next couple days. I just read your blog post and the audio section caught my eye: I went through the exact same struggles

Yeah, I'm going to fix that. I thought I'd tried `u8 as i8` and it hadn't worked, but I guess not.

"Cheap" is another one that bothered me as a kid. It means both "of low quality considering its price" and "of low price considering its quality."

For when you need to get your photos off of FB: https://github.com/spieglt/fb-photos . Hopefully makes it easier to get "Photos of me" which they don't include in your data export.

It's also good for crypto, image processing, logging, file compression, and other commonly useful things. Go does have an emphasis on network services but is not limited to that. "a stdlib accommodating all of its usecases would b

If Rust had a standard library like Go's I'd love it even more.

Well, I guess alignment doesn't say anything about how large of a block is allocated.... And this is the clearest source I can find, which says 32 bytes. https://prog21.dadgum.com/179.html
