seritools··on I Used Netscape Composer in 2024
I love how the "Show code" buttons in 98.css and XP.css are just plain labels, with no indication that they are clickable until you hover over them, as opposed to the easily visible buttons the CSS actually provides x)

Interestingly, the 7.css fixes this by showing them as expander links instead.

Panic unwinding needs VS2005 libraries, which has a minimum supported OS version of 98. So if that's your target OS it'll work.

For 95 you'll need to go down to VS2003, which breaks unwinding (but panic = abort works fine).

If you want unwinding on 95 you need to patch out the IsDebuggerPresent function import from the 2005 msvc runtime still, yeah.

Without std there is nothing to do, i586-pc-windows-msvc/gnu already work just fine - the PE format hasn't changed, really. Just don't use APIs that don't exist on the OS version you're targeting and you're good to go!

seritools··on Half-Life 25th Anniversary Update
It's just the original game touched up to work on modern systems. It's still the original experience.

Black Mesa is a full reimplementation (and partly reimagination) by a fan team, with large changes, while keeping the feel mostly intact.

Probably the one linked above by Tom Scott, or this one by Veritasium: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esQyYGezS7c

The Veritasium one mentions NIST peanut butter specifically, even.

Hard to say in hindsight - I might've looked at the unicows documentation closer again anyways.
seritools··on Compiling Rust binaries for Windows 98 SE and more: a journey (2020)
A couple of reasons of the top of my head:

- msvcrt linked statically

- even when disabling debug and panic unwind, Rust includes the unwind tables in the binary

- unicows import library linked

seritools··on Platform that enables Windows driver development in Rust
Did you do any overclocking (especially RAM)? I've seen issues like this with either slightly unstable OC, or bad drivers.

I'd also suggest running https://www.resplendence.com/latencymon to see if it's a specific driver causing the stalls, or if it's random.

Yup the omission of "load-bearing" `that`s causes a lot of parsing ambiguity in many cases, the classic example being garden-path sentences: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden-path_sentence

seritools··on Ask HN: Why does Apple refuse to add window snapping to macOS?
> On windows(and I presume mac) these operations are tightly linked.

That's the default on windows, but it _does_ support focus-without-raising. In fact, it's literally called `Xmouse`: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xmouse

An easy way to enable it is to use Winaero Tweaker, but it's builtin Windows functionality: https://winaero.com/turn-on-xmouse-active-window-tracking-fo... (Just make sure "Enable window raising" is unticked).
