Debugging is not just about putting breakpoints and stepping through the code, modern tools can do A LOT more -- werat.dev/blog/what-a-go…

@SheriefFYI > Do people think LoadLibrary() resolves names by "kinda sorta" flags? Honestly that’s not very far from the truth

- "there's also sqlite3.dll in Windows" = "I don't think there is" - "winsqlite3.dll" I'm speechless. Do people think LoadLibrary() resolves names by "kinda sorta" flags?

I wanted a nice and simple tool to see how text is represented in different encodings. Sadly, Google results are all crap. So I vibecoded one myself — werat.dev/encoding-explo…

I really wish iPhone still had Force Touch and if you press too hard liquid glass cracks

@lisyarus Same, and I’m not even remotely popular

Been getting about a dozen spam DMs per day lately on this hellsite. Is this what they call popularity?

Took me a while to realize it’s a bundle of two games and not some insane crossover

@ereliuer_eteer @deedydas Boy am I excited to see PDF “solved”!

@deedydas here is your new high-quality training data for LLMs

PDF parsing is solved (again). Mistral's new OCR API — parses 1000-2000 pages for $1 — achieves state of the art results on tables, multilingual — supports structure: images, bounding boxes, scans, equations 90% of the world's organizational data is in PDFs.

@Nelaquetan Sprich Deutsch du Hurensohn!

не могу порой с файрфокса, упорно думающего, что я хочу ОТДЕЛЬНЫЕ ЭЛЕМЕНТЫ ИНТЕРФЕЙСА видеть на немецком

@WerWolv I understand the benefit of consistency, but this is one the stupidest behaviors in macOS. If the app doesn’t actually need to run in the background, it should just close itself with the last window.

3. ImHex doesn't close completely anymore when pressing the close button but instead just closes the window

Question to all you macOS nerds out there. My goal for the next ImHex version is to make it act and feel as nice and native as possible. Here's what we've done already now, is anything missing still? 🧵 1. ImHex uses the native menu bar now instead of its own as on Windows/Linux

@lenka_colenka На чае есть jagertee. Он все-таки с алкоголем, но наверняка существуют и безалкогольные варианты.

А есть же напиток как глинтвейн, только безалкогольный и на чае? Что-то никак не гуглится, у меня же не ложное воспоминание?

Ok, fine, you can get one can of chips Me:

@Ildar_De Я есть и думаю, большинство, кто больше 5 лет работает, скорее всего счастливы и в твиттере не жалуются … но за сколько можно курсы продавать? друг спрашивает…

А есть те, кто работает в фаанг и счастлив, что делает мир лучше, а не впаривает курсы как ex-FAANG?

Looks like all young teachers have a similar story :) Happened at my university when I was a TA: - Hi, can I get the key for room 112? - Wait for the teacher, he’ll come and open! - but I am the teacher…

Is this Hyrum's law?

@jbevain *Proceeds with splitting the classes into multiple files each*

"You may also want to split each C# class into its own file." *Blissfully ignores*

@HSVSphere Can I have a valid C compiler on a platform where a byte is 8 bits tho

bro just assumed a byte (aka a char) was 8 bits 🫵😂 he doesn't know that the C standard only mandates a minimum of 8, and that you could indeed create a platform where a byte is 9 bits and have a valid C compiler implementation

@ballingt Always insert something that generates a warning? 😈

I've got some machine-generated files. I'm slapping on /* prettier-ignore-start */ /* eslint-disable */ at the top of them. Now I get lots of 1:1 warning Unused eslint-disable directive (no problems were reported) What would always work here?

2 seconds is much better than 5, but ever wondered why is it _seconds_? Here’s why, and how to make it go real fast — werat.dev/blog/how-condi…

@mark_undoio Agreed, looks very cool! Powerful data visualization is a must for a good debugger

@werat I remembered your debugger article had some stuff about image data - we recently hacked up some visualisation in Undo using string and sticky tape. Combining the visualisation with time travel (even as jankily as this) turned out pretty cool.

@MrFoxGray Вот и готовят тебя к ней, чтобы потом не жаловался!

@werat Так это и моя жизнь скоро!

После того как я сказал, что переезжаю в Берлин, этого, конечно, следовало ожидать, но теперь для всех моих подписчиков в инстаграме я именно тот человек, которому нужно скидывать ВСЕ мемы и рилсы про эмигрантскую жизнь в Германии
