@aecsocket What laptop is that?

This is an NFC smartcard... but it's not the NFC you're thinking of! Japan's transit cards - IC cards - use their own type of NFC not often found in the West. NFC FeliCa's story is interesting, and I've written a post about it here: aruarian.dance/blog/japan-ic-…

@a4jeffo @orhundev Yea, Now you have infinite problems to distract you from build times.

@orhundev Just use bazel to build.

mfs be like "Rust is a fast language" and then they wait for 10 minutes while the compiler grinds through 900 dependencies

@ankitt14 @yarden_shafir @chompie1337 osr.com their forums for driver development are known for being extremely critical. They are very knowledgeable experts.

@yarden_shafir @chompie1337 Hi, pardon the ignorance.. But what is "OSR guys"?

kernel driver dev is hard!! this is why the osr guys are so mean

@awesomekling What if they only add features which are designed to find bugs? 😅

As an OSS maintainer, I find that I trust someone who has fixed 10 bugs far more than I trust someone who has added 10 features. Who do you trust more?

@halvarflake Pocket casts!

What's a good podcast app on Android now that google podcasts is gone and I really would stick needles through my tongue before using YouTube music?

@awesomekling @Ramborambowski @ladybirdbrowser 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

I'm stoked to announce that I've hired @Ramborambowski to work full time on @ladybirdbrowser! 🐞🌍🎉 Andrew has hacked on SerenityOS since 2019 and is an expert in multiple areas of the software stack. Lately he's been working on making Ladybird more platform-agnostic to pave the way for more ports (such as Android! 🤖) Huge thanks to all the sponsors for making this possible! 🤓❤️💚💙

@timmisiak Congrats!

@DBArgenis pls

@timmisiak Found some bugs in a codebase because of this behavior. beta.ruff.rs/docs//rules/re…

Python is funny sometimes. You can change the return value in a "finally" block. I like the C# approach better, although it probably wouldn't make sense in Python.

whats your favorite tool for profiling linux binaries? also: is there a way to make firefox's profiler sort by ms instead of # samples? share.firefox.dev/3pfkrhJ

Anyone else dealing with weird docker crashes in GitHub codes paces? github.com/orgs/community…

@timmisiak Hot take, memory safe languages lead to the same debates as gun control. 🤔

Ah yes. Memory safety is a... *checks notes*... leftist plot. I honestly can't tell if this is satire.

@awesomekling Is there a more type safe way to express this? You know me... 🤔

Just fixed a silly bug in the LibJS garbage collector where we accidentally skipped over most of the CPU registers when making a conservative root set. 🤦‍♂️ Amazing that it worked as well as it did for this long! 😅🐞 github.com/SerenityOS/ser…

@awesomekling Happy Birthday Andreas! 🥳 I hope it's a special day.

Just turned 38 and I feel better than ever! 🥳🎂 Truly grateful to celebrate another birthday clean & serene, working on a truly fulfilling programming project with my friends! 🤓🌅

@sheevink Yea, same story... I had to cold dm someone on Twitter to ask what the deal was. Magically got a "we have more applicants than positions" email the next day. Hope they can turn it around and not continue to burn their reputation with the relatively small systems community.

it took Oxide over 4 months to reject my job application 💀

@GavinRayDev @iskyzh Seems like a non starter if locking requires allocation to insert into the hash map?

@iskyzh No it does not compile, and I don't think the logic is sound either =/ I spent some time on it earlier today and it's a hard problem, didn't manage to come up with a good solution

1/2) Asked GPT how to implement "Striped-Locking" in Rust, a notoriously difficult problem In C/C++, you can do something like this: B1 = Lock, items 1-5 B2 = Lock, items 5-10 ========= | B1 | B2 | B3 ========= Where each locked-bucket protects N items & uses hashing to route

@timmrgn github.com/seven1m/justfo… 😀

I added a project table to the bottom of justforfunnoreally.dev for anyone who wants to join the "club" so to speak. Also, there's a fun little badge to paste in your project readme if you so choose!

@EskilSteenberg @porglezomp Sanitizers don't stop CVE's in production code. You need both.

@porglezomp I am. Thats where the solution to this problem lies. Not in changing the spec.

Wherein I propose that C++ initialize all stack variables to zero, preventing ~10% of CVEs. Cost: none. 🔗 wg21.link/P2723R0 🔗

@timmisiak @KirillOsenkov Have been thinking about trying to porting the backend to work with @bazelbuild I have been missing the introspection abilities at new $job.

I literally figured out my problem within 30 seconds of starting binlog viewer... 10/10, would recommend binlog viewer again. Thanks @KirillOsenkov!
