Nice #discussion about #code vs #nocode #software #solutions for #projects https://jasonmorrissc.github.io/post/202..
Very nice #intro into writing #bootloader #code https://notes.eatonphil.com/bootloader-b..
Woah, these #weird #data #types are the sort of things that keep me up at night! https://begriffs.com/posts/2018-11-15-c-.. Seems almost #impossible to write #portable #code !
Oh man, #apple can't even make #guarantees about #data #integrity because they #hacked some #code around #fsync to #cheat on #performance #benchmarks https://twitter.com/marcan42/status/1494.. Even when calling #ffullsync you *still* cannot be sure the data is written to #disk ! It's a #corruption #nightmare - #forget running a #database , you can barely run *any* #program that relies on a #reliable #filesystem !
Interesting, #google is apparently mostly running on #old #code that none of the existing people know how to #fix or #maintain https://youtube.com/watch?v=7I-r1CaMdNs If this is true, #google is going to die. They no longer have the #engineering #prowess they used to - all the proper #engineers moved elsewhere. It seems they are #victims of their own " #success ".

I think I should be able to make something in #python as a #thin #wrapper for #youtubedl https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2649.. The #plan is to make something #boring and #simple ! No #js of course!So it appears to be #firefox making my #machine grind to a halt by eating tonnes of #ram and #cpu - specifically it appears to be #invidious and #cloudflare causing tonnes of #network #traffic . Reducing #memory usage helped slightly, but it appears to really be eating system resources: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fir.. I think I need a #youtube #alternative !
One day we're going to look back and realize that all of our #source #code is no longer #accessible because it's wrapped in some bullshit like this: https://carbon.now.sh/ I really suggest against using this, #plaintext is the way forwards.
I'm starting to wonder about a potential #vps #service that runs a small amount of #server #code when #triggered - where people will want to #interact with the #service because it's #cheap https://lowendbox.com/blog/friendhosting.. I believe the biggest problem will be #disk and #ram - ensuring that each run within a set #limit ...
An interesting #concept for a #browser called #bone https://github.com/Merkoba/Bone I like the #idea - but #simplicity and #npm do *not* go hand in hand. Try getting the #code to build in a year's time.
Probably a bad sign for a #programmer when an #vscode #ide #feature you #code up to #colourize the #source can take 10 seconds to update! https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2021.. Not a problem I had personally considered, but I love the openness in which they #solved and shared the #solution !
Cool #stevejobs #story about the #implementation of #rounded #rectangles https://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?st.. The #source #code is interesting too: http://wg20.criticalcodestudies.com/inde.. Awesome!

I remember roughly in the code where that will need to happen though...I think I need to greatly #reduce the #deadsocial #cache size later, it's too large for the #available #ram I have on this #server ... It's currently using about 5MB out of the dedicated 6.4MB - this could be what's causing the occasional crashing during #builds !
This is a small but cool piece of #name #generation #code https://nullprogram.com/blog/2021/09/14/ Writing efficient code is very important!

It ended up being an unbelievably small code change: https://github.com/danielbarry/d3ad-soci.. Just a single line of #css #code !Fingers crossed I just #pushed a #darkmode #css for #deadsocial that doesn't break everything! It's really quite a simple change, so in theory it *should* work fine and look better in the #coffeespace #article #embeddings !

Apple claim it will be impossible to figure out what #vector they are using to trigger detection, but it's only a matter of time before somebody figures them out with a #database of #childporn (something the #uk #police for example store). So essentially #stateactors have the ability to #reverseengineer their vectors.Scratch that, it looks as if people are actually generating #hash #collisions by modifying an existing image to match a #hash https://github.com/AsuharietYgvar/AppleN.. #apple have really fucked up on the response to this one... They should at the very least put #csam on ice until #researchers have been given more time to figure this out. Also, claims that it's "not the final #version " is not good enough, especially when you invited people to #attack it!
I also keep trying to wan people about the perils of the #crypto market, but I suspect I have reached zero people so far: https://www.barrons.com/articles/jackson.. It is entirely a #pyramidscheme and the only way to make money is to get in early or be a big player (both of which go hand in hand). Any #coin that is not a #scam yet will go to zero in the future - it only takes one #flipped bit or one piece of bad #code to destroy it all.
