msk-lywenn··on French firefighters face 'pyrocumulonimbus' for first time
It’s in French but this crowd sourced website updates quite quickly : https://feuxdeforet.fr/gironde-33/saumos-22-07-2026-4367/
msk-lywenn··on Linux on the Sega 32X. Who needs hardware synchronization primitives anyway?
Congrats. Any idea why one cpu reports 10 bogomips and the other 20?
msk-lywenn··on L'Affaire Siloxane
I guess the french equivalent of kilobucks would be briques (bricks)
msk-lywenn··on The 29th International Obfuscated C Code Contest (IOCCC) 2025 Winners
OMG, my game boy game of life implementation is included in one of the winning entries!
msk-lywenn··on Starship V3
He is so good at rewriting history. People buy it so much, it’s incredible. He didn’t build Tesla, Eberhard and Tarpenning did.
msk-lywenn··on Boris Cherny: TI-83 Plus Basic Programming Tutorial (2004)
The original manual for the TI83+ is what actually got me into programming. It was pretty nice.
msk-lywenn··on Wolfenstein 3D for Gameboy Color on custom cartridge (2016)
I played a bit with original gameboy too. I was very surprised when, iirc, the cpu is not even fast enough to clear the screen in one vertical blank, or even in one frame! It takes like three to fully clear the map.
msk-lywenn··on Introduction to Nintendo DS Programming
Over wifi. But you have to setup your app to get back to the launcher. And also when it crashes. Or just restart it
msk-lywenn··on Introduction to Nintendo DS Programming
Great resource! But a lot of it is very old. I recently discovered this open source ds cart[1] and an alternative SDK[2] to devkitPro. Both were used in the development of a demo[3] released at Revision this year.

msk-lywenn··on I Built an Open-World Engine for the N64 [video]
Well, it’s texture RAM, the only one that RDP can access. It’s closest thing to « video memory ». Although, you’re right as the framebuffer lives in main ram. But that just means the system is sharing like in modern hardware, so I wouldn’t call the main RAM VRAM in any way.
msk-lywenn··on Razor 1911 (first place at revision 2026 demoparty) [video]
Most of all demo competitions are like that. Resource limited demos or intros go into specific categories.
msk-lywenn··on Hardware Image Compression
Because the article is about hardware formats, not storage formats. GPU hardware formats are left compressed in GPU memory, the GPU decodes it on the fly. Basis universal must be decoded to a GPU hardware format (or to plain RGBA) before it can be used by the GPU.

It's RAM that is notoriously slow. VRAM is fast, but there's only 4K...
msk-lywenn··on My DIY FPGA board can run Quake II
As I understand it, it's for all signals to cross over in the same amount of time.
msk-lywenn··on VitruvianOS – Desktop Linux Inspired by the BeOS
I used to run fluxbox in the early 2000s. I greatly miss tabbing any windows like that.
msk-lywenn··on The gold standard of optimization: A look under the hood of RollerCoaster Tycoon
I wouldn't go that far, but yes, no compiler will leave that on the table today or even twenty years ago. They do even more impressive transformations than that on basic math.
msk-lywenn··on Hundreds of Millions of iPhones Can Be Hacked With a New Tool Found in the Wild
Apple is probably going to issue an update for 18. Heck they released a security update for coruna on 15.x last week. Same thing maybe?
msk-lywenn··on Pyrite64: N64 game-engine and editor using Libdragon and tiny3d
Showcase video is pretty amazing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BCmKnN5eGA
msk-lywenn··on The state of Linux music players in 2026
Cool. I didn’t know there was a fork of clementine. I hope it fixes a few bugs I have. It’s clearly my favorite player ever. Thanks.
msk-lywenn··on Allow me to introduce, the Citroen C15
The C15 was produced up until 2006.
msk-lywenn··on Adobe Photoshop 1.0 Source Code (1990)
The source is now readable but it’s not open source at all.
msk-lywenn··on Show HN: Reverse perspective camera for OpenGL (Three.js)
Makes me feel the z-test should be reversed in reverse perspective mode but maybe it would just be even weirder?
msk-lywenn··on Avería: The Average Font (2011)
It's been used in some visual novels by Nova-box:

msk-lywenn··on Board: New game console recognizes physical pieces, with an open SDK
Marbotic does the same kind of stuff with specially crafted wooden pieces on a regular android/ipad tablet. Maybe focusing on kids wasn't the best path to success... https://www.youtube.com/@marbotic
msk-lywenn··on BYD builds fastest car
Funny that it packs 3000hp while the Chiron « only » needs 1600hp to achieve mostly the same speed.
msk-lywenn··on What .NET 10 GC changes mean for developers
why wouldn't you be?
msk-lywenn··on Unity Security Update CWE-426: Untrusted Search Path
To avoid rebuilding app, a patcher is available: https://discussions.unity.com/t/cve-2025-59489-patcher-tool/...
msk-lywenn··on macOS Tahoe
Did you notice any impact on battery life?
msk-lywenn··on EU court rules nuclear energy is clean energy
Energy needs like 5% enrichment while weaponizing needs much higher and much more difficult to obtain 85% enrichment
