iamcreasy··on Tcl/Tk 9.1
Is it still true if I want to custom widget with animations?
iamcreasy··on Charts built for Chat
Thank looks cool. Do you guys have plan to add interactivity to these charts? Will it be possible to inject JS in these charts?
iamcreasy··on Stockfish 19
Nice.

I wish these engines could explain why it is recommending certain move, or certain sequence of moves, using natural language - it would be very useful for learning.

iamcreasy··on The web server deployment model breaks at hobby scale
Interesting read.

> you see that the reverse proxying rules you would need are more complicated than usual. you can’t Simply forward /api to your application and the rest to the frontend due to various reasons outside your control.

If the author is reading: Can you elaborate on what reason you are referring to that are outside my control?

iamcreasy··on The Art of 64-bit Assembly
I built compiler that compiles to 16bit x86 via MASM. This books feel like a natural next step, but I was wondering if there is a linux equivalent book I can choose instead?
iamcreasy··on I Inspected My Take-Home Interview Project. It Was a Whole Operation
Interesting read. Is docker sandbox a solution in this situation?
iamcreasy··on Epoll vs. io_uring in Linux
Thanks for the write up. So the first version was synchronous, second version was using epoll and third one will be use io_uring?
iamcreasy··on What job interviews taught me about Kubernetes
Interesting. I have just started reading about Kubernetes. Is there an reading material that goes over this process you just described?
iamcreasy··on Show HN: Homebrew 6.0.0
> Most Linux package managers cannot separate user-installed packages from system packages.

What is the use case when someone would want to differentiate system/user installed package? Isn't it good things that they are the same - meaning once something is install - it is there regardless of how it got here.

iamcreasy··on An introduction to functional analysis for science and engineering
Does anyone know any applied functional analysis book? I have strong linear algebra foundation, but no real analysis.
iamcreasy··on Show HN: Streambed – Stream Postgres to Iceberg on S3, Supports Postgres Wire
Very cool! What would a 10,000 feet solution look like for MySQL to Iceberg on S3?
iamcreasy··on CUDA Books
Interesting, thanks for sharing.

What makes CUDA Programming: A Developer's Guide to Parallel Computing with GPUs better among its peers?

iamcreasy··on Int a = 5; a = a++ + ++a; a =? (2011)
Does anyone know if these are already explained in Eskil Steenberg's dependablec.org?
iamcreasy··on ggsql: A Grammar of Graphics for SQL
Nice! Do you guys plan to implement widget interaction?
iamcreasy··on Reflections on 30 years of HPC programming
Julia language is also used for HPC according to their webpage citing performance parity with C++. Would it be correct to infer Julia also provides the same level of memory bandwidth control?
iamcreasy··on Healthchecks.io Now Uses Self-Hosted Object Storage
Given the individual file size and total volume, I'd argue it make sense to use move to local only storage.

On a separate note, what tool is the final benchmark screenshot form?

iamcreasy··on Pyodide: a Python distribution based on WebAssembly
How do you call those C/Rust libraries compiled from to webassembly from Python/Pyodide?
iamcreasy··on What Is Agentic Engineering?
Is there any article explaining how AI tools are evolving since the release of ChatGPT? Everything upto MCP makes sense to me - but since then it feels like there is not clear definition on new AI jergons.
iamcreasy··on Open Weights isn't Open Training
> "open training" is something that won't ever happen for large scale models

https://www.swiss-ai.org/apertus

Source: EPFL, ETH Zurich, and the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) has released Apertus, Switzerland’s first large-scale open, multilingual language model — a milestone in generative AI for transparency and diversity. Trained on 15 trillion tokens across more than 1,000 languages – 40% of the data is non-English – Apertus includes many languages that have so far been underrepresented in LLMs, such as Swiss German, Romansh, and many others. Apertus serves as a building block for developers and organizations for future applications such as chatbots, translation systems, or educational tools. The model is named Apertus – Latin for “open” – highlighting its distinctive feature: the entire development process, including its architecture, model weights, and training data and recipes, is openly accessible and fully documented.

iamcreasy··on A rabbit hole in 5 commits
Wasn’t a simpler solution was to update the Debian buster repo url to archived repo url?
iamcreasy··on A Broken Heart
> At that point, I reached for an age-old tool that has gotten more useful in the modern age: binary search. That is, you explain the symptom to your coding agent. Then you have it repeatedly remove stuff from your code that might be causing the problem

Can someone give me some high level pointers on how to setup this scaffolding?

iamcreasy··on Alex Honnold completes Taipei 101 skyscraper climb without ropes or safety net
The keyword is ’cutting edge’.
iamcreasy··on Alex Honnold completes Taipei 101 skyscraper climb without ropes or safety net
Alex Honnold: No free soloist ever died doing anything cutting edge. Nobody died doing something really hard. A handful people died doing things that are easy. Most soloist died in different types of accidents...base jumping, rogue wave.

iamcreasy··on Alex Honnold completes Taipei 101 skyscraper climb without ropes or safety net
I was surprised to see him take breaks and wave at the crowd. Very different vibe.
iamcreasy··on Alex Honnold completes Taipei 101 skyscraper climb without ropes or safety net
He must have. My impression from the documentary is that he practice the climb route many times with safety gear first.
iamcreasy··on Alex Honnold completes Taipei 101 skyscraper climb without ropes or safety net
In his El Capitan climb (Free Solo), Alex was worried about cameras or presence of friends watching interfering with the climb. As oppose to that, this climb must have felt very different!
iamcreasy··on I Like GitLab
Curious, why not use docker?
iamcreasy··on Spherical Snake
4d snake. We need 4d snake.

iamcreasy··on Kaiju – General purpose 3D/2D game engine in Go and Vulkan with built in editor
> the simplicity and "just works" of writing Assembly code was a great boost to my happiness.

If the author reading: I am curious to see an worked out example where writing the assembly code was necessary.

iamcreasy··on Applets are officially gone, but Java in the browser is better
Thanks. What is your take on building multiplayer game with TeaVM + libgdx? (Assuming the server is hosted off-browser)
