@profleonn The NTFS mater file table (MFT) describes the underlying file metadata like names and parents. By reading this directly instead of using the normal fs api for listing children, we can enumerate every path on a disk very quickly. Building an index on top helps search paths fast

@TeamDman what you doing here?

sub 100ms ❗ instant search across 16681587 files

Instant file path search :D

@ChadNauseam Very cool! Thank you for sharing

This was already the fastest seam carving on the internet thanks to rust+wasm. But I made it 5x faster by putting it on the GPU!

optimizing my master file table tool :D so much room for improvement IntoFuture is a fun trait

Seam carving with forward energy. Gotta be one of the coolest algorithms of all time.

Neat to have so much intelligence at our fingertips, time for aistudio and t3chat to share the load with copilot Currently investigating: - creating subtitle CLI - converting whisperX to Burn - Windows shell, custom taskbars - Minecraft infinite canvas whiteboard

@_trish_xD I've taken to the phrase "minimize indirection". Don't have 3 layers of variables to accomplish what a literal can do. Doesn't mean having no variables or functions, just dont get silly with them.

wise words from the best systems engineer I've worked with: "two things that make code actually maintainable: 1. reduce the layers a reader has to trace 2. reduce the state a reader has to hold in their head" applies to every codebase. always.

@TeamDman oh this is awesome, link?

the first person to come up with a catchy word or "ism" that describes a relatively pluralistic and human-focused AI-friendly (and probably UBI-friendly) ideology gets memetic control over the lightcone. nobody has done it yet and basically everyone is trying.

@zcbenz I've found that Rust makes Windows programming approachable and I have enjoyed making utilities with it

It is funny that Windows takes majority desktop market but there are so few Windows developers that almost every new Windows app is a webview wrapper.

Me defending my O(n^3) solution to the coding interviewer.

The write-up of my new graph layout algorithm for SpiderMonkey is now live. We built a custom layout algorithm for JS and WASM that follows the structure of the source code. No more spaghetti nightmares from Graphviz, and thousands of times faster.

@dardezeu @thebensams The overflow and underflow situations are revealed by the panic so they can be fixed; without the modified compiler making them panic it is hard to find the spots where the undesirable behaviour (overflows and underflows, not just panics) happens.

@thebensams So call me dumb but what is the point of testing what happens if there is a panic in places that are known to not have panics when compiled properly? Why not just insert panic-causing instructions at random places in any compiled binary?

Earlier this year, one of our engineers wanted to fuzz AvalancheGo during an audit. There was one serious problem: when Go integers overflow/underflow - the program does not panic. His solution was to fork the Go compiler during the engagement and add panics on integer overflows, then re-compiling AvalancheGo with the new compiler and fuzzing that target instead. This is some of the most interesting fuzzing work I've seen during an engagement, and now you can benefit from his work to fuzz your own Go programs

@petergyang @CharaChorder plugged into a phone on a gooseneck

Wish I could vibe code in bed with Claude Code instead of doom scrolling - what’s the best option to do this?

@BenjDicken String[] args

Name a more beautiful abstraction than the Unix pipe.

@theo Using the JetBrains Runtime to add, modify, and remove methods and fields from classes at runtime is super cool when working on my programming Minecraft mod

You guys are too agreeable. Let me try again. Java is a good language and the JVM is one of the greatest contributions to modern software.

@syntacrobat Burn does this :D github.com/tracel-ai/burn…

literally how do ML people survive without lifting tensor dimensions into the type system? isn't that like the number one thing youd immediately want

@HSVSphere you're laughing. i'm going insane over gradle being gradle and you're laughing.
