Okay, the CI hell is over. I have released the first version of my "switch your monitor inputs from your computer" program. It even comes with a GUI :D:

Hopefully you'll save a few minutes of your life over the course of a few years :).

I don't love that the "1.44" in "1.44 MB" floppy isn't actually either "Megabyte" or "Mebibyte", but rather it's 1.44 "thousand Kibibytes".

@cr1901 "1.44 of them"

1.44 of what?

"1.44 of them"

cr1901,
@cr1901@mastodon.social avatar

@mcc 1.44 @foone 's

1 Foone == 1440 kibibytes

I need a used-working NVMe SSD (2280). Anyone have an one they'd be willing to part with for the cost of shipping (plus a convenience fee)? 1TB preferred, but I'm fine with any size.

I'm looking to do all this under $15.

It's fine if it's used because I want to test if my 2017 desktop supports NVMe (and the answer seems to be... possibly... not even Acer seems to be sure).

@foone Will do, tyvm.

Fun fact, you gave me old RAM for my 29+2 Bday, and I potentially get a test SSD for my 29+5 Bday :D. So thanks again <3.

Btw, that RAM is still going strong. Am typing on the machine it's on rn; it's the reason I've gotten to 12+ years with it :D.

@cr1901 cool, that's great to hear! I'm glad it got used

I am making a Python dictionary with integer keys. Something, somewhere, went wrong in my life.

@cr1901 meanwhile, somewhere, all the Lua programmers cheer

The hell is a three-way string split?

I thought a split of a string implied two parts- a before, and after :D!

Ugh I hate this error, especially the "introduces a 'static lifetime requirement" part. But Idk how to make it better.

Maybe "in order for TableDisplayInfo<'static> to implement Borrow<TableDisplayInfo<'a>>, 'a must live as long as 'static".

What do you think, @ekuber?

cr1901,
@cr1901@mastodon.social avatar

@ekuber > not great

Does that include my proposed change :P?

ekuber,
@ekuber@hachyderm.io avatar

@cr1901 your proposal is reasonable, it will likely need special handling (because we don't carry that information now)

@cr1901@mastodon.social avatar

Unlike what Wikipedia has to say on the subject, it's not clear to me that basic +1/-1 non-restoring dividers are a net win for hardware size or speed.

Seems like any size/speed wins by avoiding the restoring step are negated by the need for two different subtractions that need to be muxed per iteration. Also, the restoring step can be done in parallel in hardware.

Tbh, I thought it was 7 hubs. Did this change between 2.0 and 3.x?

mcc,
@mcc@mastodon.social avatar

@objectObject @cr1901 maybe they have six hubs and have just plugged them in in an unwise order

cr1901,
@cr1901@mastodon.social avatar

@mcc @objectObject This.

The daisy chaining wasn't even all that intentional in my case. I just have a bunch of USB devices that almost never need unplugging. I on't mind them being a bunch of hubs away if it means less cable clutter thanks to more unused ports.

I need flash cards for 74xx parts...

tubetime,
@tubetime@mastodon.social avatar

@cr1901 🤔me too

cr1901,
@cr1901@mastodon.social avatar

@tubetime I could also use flash cards for the various retro computing buses... starting with ISA.

How ultra convenient would it be if I didn't have to have a pinout up when probing cards.

(It's probably very doable, just haven't put in the time yet)

@foone Hi Foone! Any chance you could pop onto IRC for a bit when you get the chance? Someone is requesting a skillset I know you have :D:

@cr1901 can't IRC right now, but as far as I know there's no way to break on IO. I instead used ghidra to search for the instruction pattern, then manually set breakpoints on those locations (after translating the segments)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVLM0gKTimQ Wow... I didn't realize how bad Eastmancolor degrades...

cr1901,
@cr1901@mastodon.social avatar

According to Wiki, Eastmancolor was early 1950s. The linked short was ~1936-37. AFAICT, when Paramount sold of it's cartoons to U.M. & M./NTA in the 50s, they created 16mm Eastmancolor prints for television. These prints had to have a further amplified red to be compatible with dodgy B&W equipment at the time.

#lazyweb Anybody know a better way to print the size that all files (and directory entries, BUT NOT DIRECTORY CONTENTS) take up in a directory besides, e.g.:

ls -lh path/to/dir | head -n 1

(The above does what I want, just feels like there should be a better way...)

Tried a Hot Pocket in the air fryer... how the hell did I live without this?

vl_tone,
@vl_tone@mastodon.social avatar

@cr1901 I lived my whole life without ever eating Hot Pockets! (not available here in Canada)

But this makes me want to try Canada's own exclusive "Pizza Pockets" in the air fryer! (Though apparently "Stouffer Bistro Crustini" is a much closer match to a Hot Pocket.)

This is a bit time sensitive, but... feel free to RT.

I'm looking for a bit of paid work (low to mid hundreds of USD) before year's end.

Most comfortable with embedded Rust and FPGA design using Amaranth HDL.

Small things I can think of include porting your board to Amaranth, getting you started with embedded Rust, or getting you started with verification tools with yosys-smtbmc and symbiyosys. I am willing to write C as well.

I had this on my Amazon list. It's a 35mm DIN rail terminal. I have no idea how/where this got on my list.

Now I'm going down a rabbit hole of "uses of DIN rails".
