every compiler project expands until it creates its own version of TableGen. after that it is swiftly replaced with something that is "not as difficult to use", and the cycle continues
"this should be a CRIME because I don't like it" is the source of so many problems, but as long as there is such a concept as crime and laws then that is exactly what it will continue to be used for
@winter okay, so. i agree with many of the ideas of anarchism, but this is something I haven't seen a satisfactory answer to:
there's stuff like burglary or murder. surely, there are people who'd do that if there wasn't a threat of government violence if they got caught. not the vast majority of people, of course, but you need to take the whole spectrum of society into account
maybe it's me being close-minded, but I don't see how to deal with this if one were to abolish the notion of crime and law enforcement altogether
reading the abstract, I'd argue that the conclusion shouldn't be "prison is useless anyway so we should just give up on trying to deter crime", but "the current prison system focuses too much on punishment and doesn't attempt to actually rehabilitate the individuals". indeed, the study is from the US, where the prison system is very well known to be quite bad
@quasar@winter i mean, yes, prisons should at the very least be massively reformed. basically something that would pull people out of the social margin instead of reinforcing it
@quasar@winter okay, that is... definitely a datapoint to consider.
i suspect that it might be partly due to them basically cosplaying being better (I've seen similar stuff happening in many other contexts, such as schools), but my opinion is definitely much closer to "we need to abolish this shit, it doesn't work anyway"
Downgrade if you’re running one of the latest xz versions, it has been compromised. If you’re using mainstream distros, you may be fine (as they lag with versions a bit behind master). If you’re running Alpine or any other non-gnu or non-systemd distro, you should be fine too (the exploit checks for GNU, and also probably won’t work with distro-unpatched sshd)
I really like the concept of FPGAs but when I want to actually get into them I remember that all the vendor bullshit and toolchain bullshit and HDL language design bullshit and I'm just way too tired to actually get through that and get into that ecosystem properly
@whitequark that does sound relevant. I'm definitely exhausted and sometimes people tell me I'm disabled but I mostly brush it off and pretend I'm fine and normal
what's the trade-off? can I use it to develop bitstreams for all/most FPGAs? (maybe with some compatibility step like transpiling through Verilog?) can I interact with hard IP?
@whitequark okay, this sounds very promising! one day I’ll give it a proper try…
amaranth brings python arithmetic semantics to FPGAs
hm, what do you mean? the biggest part of what comes to mind when i hear “python arithmetic semantics” is “everything’s a bigint”, which… surely not? i mean, you probably could do it with something like abstract interpretation but that doesn’t sound like the level of abstraction? the example on the playground actually does specify that count is 4 bits (which is good! but it means that I don’t understand what you mean here)
