“The C library now has SIMD implementations of string and memory operations on amd64 for improved performance.” https://www.freebsd.org/releases/14.1R/announce/

i promise i’m not doing a dunk toot, but… am i missing something here?? SIMD string ops landing in 2024? isn’t FreeBSD the big serious production BSD??

humbling to think about Leibniz inventing matrices and then only a few hundred years later google search doesn't fucking work

everybody wants to be the guy to write the filesystem that solves data loss once and for all because it would look good as hell on a resume

started reading "The Palestine Laboratory" by Antony Loewenstein on my flights. brilliant, urgent, eye-opening piece of investigative journalism. I expect I'll have more to say on it once I finish and digest it all, but it's a strong recommend already from me https://www.versobooks.com/products/2684-the-palestine-laboratory

software development is both universe building and theory building, bugs are theory failing to accurately model reality, security is reasoning about unknown unknowns, engineering is designing in tolerances at the limits of your model

(very good actually once you adjust to it being different, many problems simply disappear, but stuff isn’t designed for you and it’s frustrating but you make do, also people go out of their way to aggrieve you)

My GNOME Quick Settings extension for Home Assistant!

Since posting the sneak peak screenshot the other day, I've tidied up the code and made it actually configurable rather than being hard coded to work with my setup. Hopefully it's useful now for others too. Check it out:

Here's what the config looks like. It supports three kinds of entities: input_number, input_boolean, and input_select; and it hooks up the UI components and data binding for you. Just declare what entities you want to control and you're ready to go.

GNOME is so good man, idk what the haters are talking about. on what other OS can you make something this slick and useful in just a few hundred lines of JS, without having to install anything extra

@whitequark what are the problems with gtkwave? I switched from sway to gnome a couple years ago now and I haven't had the experience you describe, apart from xwayland difficulties/electron bs it's been quite smooth

this is so funny man

> “UniSuper had duplication in two geographies as a protection against outages and loss,” according to the statement.

> “However, when the deletion of UniSuper’s private cloud subscription occurred, it caused deletion across both of these geographies.”

who would win: multi region HA deployment or one little billing fucky wucky and an ON DELETE CASCADE

nobody wants to hear it but x32 is actually the best ABI for most apps and it is a shame its not used more https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X32_ABI

hailey,
@hailey@hails.org avatar

this toot inspired by seeing that Discord still ships a 32 bit client for Windows and thinking well, it would probably use less memory, given how especially pointer heavy electron apps are.

but no! you don't actually want the rest of the 32 bit ABI! you don't want to spill to stack for every function call, you do actually want all the good parts of x86_64! you just want smaller pointers

tech guys are so funny sometimes man

usually when Big Serious Companies have defense contracts, they go to some effort to downplay/minimise/obfuscate their links to the defense industry, because they know it's absolutely toxic to their brand image

extremely big brained on the other hand to just come out and say "no we don't have any defense contracts, but we'd like to!"
