I didn't know about this game! This is exactly the kind of feature I want to implement in the future. Thank you so much!

I haven't seen Hackers yet. Thanks for the reference!

Thank you for your comment! Sorry for the late reply — I was asleep.

I just created a Discord server: https://discord.gg/aQuNSczpw

> I'm curious if you've played with rendering memory at all - textual bits, that is.

This is a very interesting idea. I actually considered visualizing memory contents, but for now I decided not to render all memory contents and access because of the amount of data that would need to be transferred from the backend to the browser.

That said, it is definitely something I would like to explore. Your 3D text renderer sounds especially interesting for visualizing memory contents inside the process towers.

I'd be very happy to discuss this more on Discord!

I built procinsh, a 3D Linux process inspector inspired by Ghost in the Shell.

It visualizes running processes and their relationships in a 3D UI. Process activity, memory maps, file I/O, and socket communication are reflected in real time.

The backend is written in Rust and uses procfs, eBPF, ptrace, and process_vm_readv to collect information from the system.

a_kawashiro··on Show HN: sloader: Alternative Linux Loader
In order to fully understand the behavior of the standard Linux loader, ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, I am developping a complete replacement for ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 https://github.com/akawashiro/sloader for about two years and now it can launch all softwares to build sloader itself and some GUI applications.

Thank you for your comment! I am considering how to deal with BibTeX in jendeley.

Thank you for your comments.

Although there are many applications to organize documents, almost all of them are for only researchers. At least, all of them are not for me.

When you are tired of Zotero, please try jendeley. I'm waiting for you while improving jendeley.

Thank you for your comments.

I am trying to improve jendeley so that it can replace your huge document library.
