sintax··on Cloudflare OS: an open platform for agents, apps, and work
Counter point: emacs :)
sintax··on Ghostel.el: Terminal emulator powered by libghostty
No real preference actually, just not a fan of lisp. (Too (many (god (damn (brackets))))). I just find it visually very fatiguing to read.
sintax··on Ghostel.el: Terminal emulator powered by libghostty
Interesting.. although if I ever switch, it'd be to an emacs spawn that didn't use lisp as language.

Surprised we haven't seen an LLM-rewrite to <insert favourite language> rewrite of emacs yet!
sintax··on My Steam Machine is a 50ft HDMI cable
Used to use moonlight/sunshine to stream to my steamdeck hooked to my TV, but switched over to just using a long HDMI cable and a wireless controller. Have everything hooked up with Home Assistant, so when I start the PC in a specific automation, it will automatically switch output to the TV and start steam in big picture (steamdeck) mode. Works fairly well. Using a normal distro (Fedora), so no dual boot shenanigans. If something goes wrong, either get out of the couch (duh!) or remote with moonlight :-)
sintax··on GCC 16 has been released
Did you file any bug reports for them?
sintax··on GCC 16 has been released
Let me wikipedia that for you :-) Like people mentioned already, gcc predates LLVM by quite some years, ie. Wikipedia mentions March 22, 1987 for gcc, while LLVM's initial release was 2003.

A big difference between the 2 is also the license. GCC uses the GPL while LLVM uses Apache License, hence the projects don't share code.

sintax··on UUID package coming to Go standard library
https://www.thenile.dev/blog/uuidv7#why-uuidv7 has some details: " UUID versions that are not time ordered, such as UUIDv4 (described in Section 5.4), have poor database-index locality. This means that new values created in succession are not close to each other in the index; thus, they require inserts to be performed at random locations. The resulting negative performance effects on the common structures used for this (B-tree and its variants) can be dramatic. ".

sintax··on Defeating a 40-year-old copy protection dongle
Out of curiosity googled for Sentinel (which was one of the other dongles back then), seems somebody is now providing a bypass/emulation service: https://sentineldongle.com/ (not affiliated with this, just googled Sentinel like 5 minutes ago and this showed up).
sintax··on Meta is using the Linux scheduler designed for Valve's Steam Deck on its servers
Well if you think about it, in this case the license is the 30% cut on every game you purchase on steam.
sintax··on 2026 Apple introducing more ads to increase opportunity in search results
How long until the AppleTV will look like your own in-home billboard? At least on the NVIDIA Shield you could just not install the update that changed the homescreen to incorporate ads (or install an alternative launcher). With the closed eco system of the AppleTV, the options are probably limited if/when Apple decides they need to extract more money from you by blastering ads all over the interface.
sintax··on Okta's NextJS-0auth troubles
What do you expect? This is the same company suggesting people to turn off DNS Rebind protection to work around their incompetence (https://support.okta.com/help/s/article/dns-rebind-protectio...)
sintax··on FEX-emu – Run x86 applications on ARM64 Linux devices
Denuvo anti-tamper DRM doesn't use kernel level tricks, it's all userspace and works just fine on Linux/Proton. It's the kernel level anti-cheats that don't work on Linux. And some user level anti cheats (like AntiCheat Expert) that only work on the Steam Deck as they check the CPU/GPU of the system and refuse to work if it's not the one in the Steam Deck (which also means those don't work on platforms like the ROG Ally).
sintax··on Blender 5.0
<<insert emacs joke>>
sintax··on Show HN: Write Node.js code in Rust to achieve massive HTTP throughput
github repo with only pre-compiled binaries coming from npmjs. These days anything from npmjs should already raise red flags, let alone something pre-compiled without sources.
sintax··on We saved $500k per year by rolling our own "S3"
Now imagine all that video/audio footage being used/sold for AI training data.
sintax··on Counter-Strike's player economy is in a freefall
I'll bet apple fan boys will agree to this statement for Valve or any other company, but when it comes to apple having to open up their walled garden in EU and then using every dirty trick in the book to make it impossible, oh boy...

sintax··on AMD and Sony's PS6 chipset aims to rethink the current graphics pipeline
> It will never be fast enough to work in real time ...

640Kb surely is enough!

sintax··on Why are anime catgirls blocking my access to the Linux kernel?
Unless your bank supports it, you will need a windows/mac computer to activate, as it uses the https://plugin.connective.eu/ browser plugin to read out your ID, which doesn't support Linux. Maybe it has changed, last I tried was more than a year ago and that time, my bank (AXA) couldn't be used to activate, so the only other option was browser activation.
sintax··on Unexpected productivity boost of Rust
Until they don't. A common issue is not checking if the execve() actually worked and thinking nothing after the execve() will execute, which is an assumption that it not always true.
sintax··on Why are anime catgirls blocking my access to the Linux kernel?
Except that itsme crap is not from the government and doesn't support activation on anything but a Windows / Mac machine. No Linux support at all, while the Belgian government stuff (CSAM) supports Linux just fine.

Try doom emacs, that loads super fast.
sintax··on Replacing tmux in my dev workflow
Other options for resumable sessions: tmux/screen + https://eternalterminal.dev/ or https://wezterm.org/ which can resume open windows like you get with iTerm2+tmux.

sintax··on Erlang's not about lightweight processes and message passing (2023)

Isn't there this "small" company that has a chat app that is using erlang :P
