@k_flowstate Only time I've seen is if people are doing like ST or compiling their own improvements or features into existing Apps

Curious to know if there are really any problem-solving skills one can learn from actually practicing to rice Linux like this? I did it once, and all I came out with was just learning how json files look like and work

@gumbo_skol @00_990_00 @andyformn @MinnesotaDFL Wrong A 2024 peer-reviewed study in JAMA Network Open analyzed 253 school shootings by adolescents (1990–2016): Handguns were the most used weapon in 85.5% of cases pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38010716/

@00_990_00 @andyformn @MinnesotaDFL So one of the thousands lol. The overwhelming majority are done with AR style rifles. The ones that inflict the most damage in the shortest amount of time. The ones that cops won't engage with.

The bill also: ✅ Restricts high-capacity magazines ✅ Implements safe firearm storage regulations ✅ Criminalizes ghost guns ✅ Bans binary triggers ✅ Improves the state's red flag law ✅ Strengthens funding for mental health It does not: ❌ Cave to the gun lobby

@nest_elf @zawarudo0o @FFmpeg I'll try that I have had no luck with LLM writing functional assembly

@zawarudo0o @FFmpeg me also. but gemini 3.1 deepthink is amazing at it

Our friends at dav1d received an AI written patch with assembly code. It was slower than C. code.videolan.org/videolan/dav1d…

building a recursive trie in C

fun fact: linux already gives you a zero-dependency in-memory store it’s just /dev/shm > a RAM-backed filesystem that’s been around forever you can literally write to it like a normal file and read it back for small local data, it’s surprisingly fast not trying to replace Redis, just a simple trick when you don’t need extra stuff

This is an idyllic setup

@willmcgugan Wonderful experiments I think you're having it do too much. If you narrow the scope and create a markdown that explains the valuable context you already have in your head I suspect you'll get better results

I'm not sure how close Claude got. I'm going to PR the changes for future reference. Later today, I will attempt to implement this myself. Without reference to what Claude did. Maybe I was a prompt away from a working version. Not sure. Maybe I'll just do exactly what Claude did with my slow mammalian brain. Let's see. Here's Claude's PR github.com/batrachianai/t… Please don't tell me what Claude's solution was. I'd prefer to start from a blank slate.

I'm asking Claude to implement text folding in Textual Diff View. Then I'm going to implement it myself, and evaluate the difference. Man against machine. 👨vs🤖 github.com/batrachianai/t…

@Neovim I understand all of these except ensure_installed. That just makes so much sense as a config option

average dev experience in 2026

The #RETEVIS RA87 build is doing great in the #snow. Having it read the battery level off is a game changer. An the lights on the outside for power (red), transmitting (blue), ID (purple) are really nice #RETEVISReliable #RETEVISRT97L

@karthikponna19 Haskell lmao. Ada. Perl.

name one programming language you learned but never used ?

Hot take this is a good thing

@AppleSupport Please stop doing this. No more iPhone purchases until this is done with.

Here's a QEMU "superpower" for running Linux: You can boot a full Linux VM with zero setup. No installers, no virtual disks, no partitions. You just need two files: 1. A Linux kernel (bzImage) 2. A root filesystem (initramfs.cpio) Then, run one command: qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel bzImage -initrd initramfs.cpio What's happening? You're telling QEMU to become the bootloader. The -kernel flag is a shortcut that skips the entire complex boot chain. QEMU loads your kernel and initrd files directly into the guest's virtual RAM, points the virtual CPU at the kernel's entry point, and hits "Go." It's the ultimate way to run a minimal, single-purpose Linux environment. Want to see the full deep-dive on how to build your own minimal Linux "micro distro" with a custom initramfs and boot it in 10 minutes, from scratch?
