I have not seen (100, 101, 102, 103, 402, 450, 451, 497) in the wild.

@puppygirlhornypost I see 101 fairly frequently, it's used for starting websockets

software engineering really gets a different vibe if changing a single character and rebuilding takes about half a hour

android has prepared me for this

@whitequark nixos has prepared me for this (change one character, have to rebuild llvm 3 times)

artemist,
@artemist@mildlyfunctional.gay avatar

@whitequark this is for a nixos freebsd port, i often ended up adding hacks to reduce the number of llvm rebuilds, then removed them once too many piled up and run a rebuild overnight.

@Elizafox in speaking of outdated ass models that are used everywhere despite them not being an accurate reflection of reality... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protection_ring i still can't believe it was proposed "-1 for hypervisor"... augh

@puppygirlhornypost @Elizafox aarch64 manages to do things that actually make sense here (el0 is user, el1 is kernel, el2 is hypervisor, el3 is trustzone)

So apparently MacOS 14 isn't available for devices from 2017 โ€” so I'd need to buy a new mac, even though mine works perfectly fine, to use this app (MacOS 13 is still well supported by Apple)

Apparently Apple considers devices โ€œvintage" when they're between 5 and 7 years old; so hardware that works perfectly well from 2017 becomes un-upgradable in 2023/24

I can't see any information on how long Apple will continue to support MacOS Ventura (13)

@thisismissem There's an extremely unofficial way of using older unsupported macs with new macOS: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/MODELS.html
I've used it on a few machines and it works surprisingly well, though it does take a while for the developers to find workarounds when new major macOS versions are released.

artemist,
@artemist@mildlyfunctional.gay avatar

@thisismissem I think Apple removes hardware after a few years if they don't want to deal with some quirk it has, like "old GPU that doesn't have modern features" or "T2 chip", I'm always annoyed that I never know how long hardware will actually be supported

what if we made a steam train that doesn't burn coal to boil water but takes electricity from the overhead wires?

@lis @Vierkantor My problem with model railways is that no one wants to make a proper model overhead power system with real pantographs on your trains

indentation levels should be variable based on how important your code feels.

  • so classes should get 4 spaces, but then if blocks should only get 2.
  • a function should get 3 because itโ€™s kind of important but not as important as the class, unless the function is really important, then it gets 4.
  • the main loop of your program should get 5 or 6 spaces
  • unsafe blocks in rust are so important they should get 11 spaces to put them in the center of your screen

til that you can add foreign credit cards to WeChat pay and you can actually use that to pay for chinese online services (without residency in China etc.)
Thats very relevant information to get access to datasheets.

@timonsku I think there's also some way to use it in person if you give them your visa number, I should try to figure that out next time I go to mainland China

I've started looking for a job again, if anyone wants to hire me! I have experience with programming in a lot of languages, including Rust, C, and Python. I do a lot of low-level programming, including bare-metal firmware, working with RTOSes, and interacting directly with kernels and bootloaders.

I love finding and preventing security vulnerabilities, designing and implementing weird protocols, and reverse engineering programs and file formats.

I can get a good understanding of how things work extremely quickly, e.g. last week I noticed a performance bug in a macOS program and fixed it using an undocumented API by reading macOS kernel source, despite never using macOS before.

I'm a citizen of the US and EU resident in New York City and prefer to work remote, though exact location is flexible.

i saw a video a few days ago that used "reverse a string" as a joke for "simple problem to solve" and oh god it's one of the most complicated problems i've thought about in a while.

there's like 3 layers of complexity

  • don't break utf8 (fine)
  • don't break combining characters (annoying, but text segmentation is already fairly well implemented)
  • properly reverse bidi control characters (oh god what the fuck)

i'm just imaginging that i'd have to reimplement the unicode bidi algorithm to be able to efficiently pair control characters and figure out which to swap
