nickwanninger··on Disruption with Some GitHub Services
Same time next week?
nickwanninger··on Your hex editor should color-code bytes
I added type-based color printing to my hexdump in my kernel [1] if anyone wants to have that code. It was instrumental in finding bugs quickly in wee hours of the night sometimes, especially if you have heap corruption. ---- [1] https://github.com/ChariotOS/chariot/blob/e046849c668458d25e...
nickwanninger··on The Performance Impact of C++'s `final` Keyword
At the level that LLVM's LTO operates, no information about classes or objects is left, so LLVM itself can't really devirtualize C++ methods in most cases
nickwanninger··on Botlib: C Telegram bot framework
?
nickwanninger··on Threads, an Instagram app
It looks like threads.net is going to be a web version -- though it isn't very clear how useful it will be.
nickwanninger··on How SerenityOS declares ssize_t
Lucky for them, it's a fully custom OS that doesn't follow the standard :)
nickwanninger··on The Floppotron 3.0
Not long till can we have a GB of floppys on one table. Imagine!
nickwanninger··on BeagleV – An affordable RISC-V computer designed to run Linux
Likely that it supports the Supervisor execution environment from the riscv spec [1]. This means it can run the typical ring 0 and ring 3 for kernelspace and userspace respectively, and importantly the board supports virtual memory.

nickwanninger··on Pocket Casts acquired by NPR
From the article: "New York Public Radio's investment in Pocket Casts was made possible, in part, by Cynthia King Vance and a grant from Carnegie Corporation of New York."

I don't think it was from donations, but I could be wrong

nickwanninger··on Keep VS Code from Becoming an IDE
I think they mean to say "being bloated like an IDE is slow, here's how to not be slow because of bloat". Or at least thats what I got out of it
nickwanninger··on Pinebook: An Affordable 64-bit ARM based Open Source Notebook
Do you rebind your caps lock to escape? That's what I did, and it's become second nature at this point.
nickwanninger··on Coinbase acquires Earn.com
"Joins" isn't in the thesaurus for "was bought by"
nickwanninger··on The Makefile I use with JavaScript projects
I actually usually have a general-use Makefile that I work from as a starting point [1]. It takes all c files from a src/ folder and builds their objects to build/ and then links them all in one go. No need for me to specify the files. It also works recursively.

nickwanninger··on Show HN: Mux Video, a simple API to powerful video streaming
I think that is quite possibly the best deal of all time.
nickwanninger··on Tiny Core Linux
Do you have to do anything special to load it all into the cache or is that just something that would happen by default?
nickwanninger··on DOJ: Strong encryption that we don’t have access to is “unreasonable”
Gotta love the fact that the EU seems to think the exact opposite

nickwanninger··on Yosemite bolt replacement and Death Block removal (2012)
Was going to say that this was a joke about MacOS bugs, but then I opened the article. :P
