gphoto-pull!! I've been downloading NN x 50G zips every two months like a caveman. Assuming I'm backing up in "Original", this manages to retrieve byte-identical backups?

I'm guessing you mean dwarf, but I started on a pdb library that I'd planned to use along-side qbe eventually. (The code currently lives in a jitting-C compiler https://scot.tg/2023/05/02/debugging-with-pdbs/ that uses dynasm directly though.)

IR (https://github.com/dstogov/ir) is worth a look in this vein too.

I personally went with QBE for my hobby project because of C-interop, but at least in my tests, I found IR much faster and better codegen than MIR. Neither of MIR or IR are friendly/easy though.

Drew and team are pretty clear about being philosophically against that idea: https://harelang.org/documentation/faq.html#will-hare-suppor...

Quentin took pity on me and let me upstream amd64_win with my lengthy variable names and including chatty comments. :)

SysV and Win x64 differ enough that the Windows code is mostly unrelated to/detached from the other backends, so it doesn't feel (too) awful for it to have its own idiosyncratic style.

(2017)

Unless there's been some new announcement that I don't obviously see here?

We are of course still spinning, so I'm not overly confident we haven't just glanced off a guardrail on the way to the ditch (to belabour your analogy).

Super cool!

I'm not sure if they did a writeup for m8trix (a predecessor) but I tried dissecting it around when it came out (2014): https://scot.tg/2014/05/31/amazing-code-density/

I used to be more of a fetishist, and still use cmd on Windows. My modding contribution from long ago: https://github.com/sgraham/cmdEx

Oof, that scraped up frying pan in #5 should have a trigger warning.

It's also pretty challenging since they're not OS-level windows any more.

It's the same problem as video ad blockers and YouTube: the ads/sponsorships have just become embedded in the main stream so they're much more difficult to obviously delineate from the actual video.

I appreciate your point, but Python was invented in .nl which wouldn't be G7 strictly speaking.

And that Sonos is terrible to its users.

I had a houseful of overpriced speakers, some only 3 years old when they decided they were too old to support in their rewritten app, or some lazy crap like that.

For GP; I use some cheapo (sub $50) "100W mini amps" from Amazon. They seem fine to me.

I started playing a couple weeks ago (and got my Mum and one of her friends playing too).

I enjoy it, but I find the clues seem a bit too easy, and honestly I'm normally terrible at crosswords. Take that for what you will, totally understandable if you're aiming at "cozy/relaxing".

I appreciate the polish of the UI compared to a lot of the other janky word games out there anyway.

He rambles for "the humour bit" for a while, but I think the thrust of it is in the last two sections https://www.wheresyoured.at/nvidia-isnt-enron-so-what-is-it/... : Nvidia's valuation is dependent on an enormous amount of debt around the industry being funnelled to them, there doesn't seem to be a way to profit on this debt, so something is going to have to give.

Seriously, there's even that "Download" button but it goes to some weird janky browser-local storage instead of just giving me a damn file.

(I don't think they'd realistically get more paying customers, but I would appreciate it anyway.)
