Funny, I've gotten close to doing the exact same thing, though I realized my mistake before ruining it completely. Reset sequence worked the whole time (I think it would even in EDL mode, though you wouldn't _see_ anything). You c

I've never ever ran into a situation where holding the power button for ~15 seconds didn't reset the phone. This stuff runs at a _way_ lower level than the software you can mess with. Non-removable batteries are still stupid thoug

Markdown fence blocks don't work. For monospace, indent 2 or more spaces.

Not really. It's actually more difficult than disassembling a C codebase. Chris used a macro assembler and wrote _a lot_ of macros. You'd only see what the assembler expanded, but you'd have no idea how the code _actually_ lo

This is a very domain-specific language, not designed to be used at a nontrivial scale. I think it's a good idea in this context.

I'm glad to know you're still working on it! I thought the current Om was a finished experiment. By the way, your language has been a big inspiration for my own designs. Thanks!

This could be extremely useful in doing small logic tweaks and such. Of course it won't be able to understand your data at a high level and migrate that over.

The author specifically mentioned that their linker-loader doesn't require separating reloadable code into a separate shared object, but jet-live does.

As I understand it from the webpage you linked, Cling is an interpreter for C++. OP's linker is supposed to take actual native object code, link it, patch it to try to keep the data in memory and continue running.

Every time I see a graphics demo involving metaballs I read it as meatballs. Every. Time.

Even something as simple as coloring them like RCA connectors would've worked. It's insane how lightly this was treated in designing it.

Yes! That's why I adore the way plan 9 has the whole source tree in /sys/src. Everything is there. To a smaller extent, netbsd has pkgsrc, and most BSD friends have something like that too.

I mean, if the people that write the code don't skip it, I don't see the issue. The code in the source tree is supposed to be safe, so you might as well not do borrow checking and whatever other safety stuff you have.

by unsafecast 4y ago
I'm aware. I know how rust works and why people want it. I haven't checked the times, but if the borrow checker is really the slowest part, maybe making rust skip it is a valid approach for end users. Sounds like an interesting ex

All that is fair. It's just, maybe a bit early? I don't usually say this, but I would've appreciated if it came a little later. All I really want is to be able to compile my stuff without waiting overnight (or more).

I run out-of-support software on an internet-connected computer, and I'm aware of the risks. I'm just really careful and I acknowledge that I'm at risk every time I go online. I assume the author thinks the same way.

I'm opposed to this, and it's not because of some idiologic kernel-should-be-pure-c thing. I'm opposed to it because the rust compiler is slow. And the rust compiler is written in rust. Compiling rust is a nightmare if you do

I don't have the budget for that at the immediate moment, but yes, I know. I do think my point still stands though. I don't think it's acceptable for software to run this slow, even on this. I'm talking windows has been

I have the opposite experience. 4GB of ram + i3-4005U + spinning drive, windows update is unbearable. That's on top of anything newer than 2016 being unusable anyway. I don't do media on it, so I've been quite happy running 9

You could also just do the actual query then return garbage.

In the case of Copilot, you don't even have a speedometer.

It's annoying, but to be fair, there's a pretty visible 'let me read it first' button. Not so bad.

It also manages to make interactive animations faster than reading news at this point.

Yes.

BitTorrent is certainly not a good example to follow, but I do think that copilot is more wrong. They should definitely include disclaimers and make seeding opt-in (though I don't know how safe you are legally when you download a Lion

They're surprisingly good. I've come to expect built-in icon sets, themes, etc to be terrible in just about every program.

From what I heard (even from americans themselves) it's likely because the idiot to good driver ratio is way too high and they'll just start killing themselves.

Yes, good point. I thought of it as minor safari updates, but small daily packets makes sense. I guess another issue is that most of these have actual logic in C++, so you'd have to move some of this code to JS (I believe Firefox does

Your point about music is spot-on. Most of the music in my library has a memory associated with it, and I found that it's usually the moment I listened to it the first time. So whenever one of my favourite artists puts out an album, or
