I am here to find creative ideas, creative people, and those with interesting passions.
Feeling the burn.
I'm heavily invested into a deeply technical programming project. I've considered abandoning it repeatedly, in favor of more engaging "quick win" projects, but I keep getting drawn back by a desire to persist.
The anguish is real.

I don't understand the controversy.
I thought that the point of blusky was that you don't have to sensor any view, cos you can just block accounts and never have to hear from them again. That and the lack of ads for taint wipes.
Whats the issue?

On vacation. Haven't written code in a week or more. Getting the withdrawal symptoms. If I don't do something low level soon, I might HCF!

Arrogance: "having or revealing an exaggerated sense of one's own importance or abilities."
In order to be arrogance, there must be exaggeration.
To call someone arrogant you must have assessed them, not merely estimated them.
Confidence is not arrogance, but arrogance may present as confidence.

Getting to "trongle" again.
Do you remember the good old days when you'd just use a Bresenham line drawing algorithm on a bit-buffer at 0xA000 in RAM? The world got more complex.
If you remember those days, give me a like so that I don't feel so alone!

If we truly understood how machine learning works, we would not need to train the models. We could use known principals to determine the number, dimensions, and values of the parameters required, and engineer them.
For so long as models require training, we do not truly understand how they work.

It's become popular for devs to hate on unit testing.
I think this is because too many devs have been expected to write tests for the sake of "code coverage" metrics by some manager that didn't know what they were doing.
If you don't unit test code where it IS appropriate to do so, you're a fool.

Yes, DeepSeek has an open source component and open weights, and is incredibly cheap.
However, it's also yet another huge loss for the G7.

To my surprise and delight, writing an encoder for Aarch64, while still not trivial, is far simpler than doing the same for x86-64.
I really shouldn't be scratching this itch yet, but at least its a quick one to satisfy.

Uses cases for A.I. ( GPT )
1. Do work for you. -NO
2. Consult it for information. -NO
3. Do grunt work - Yes, if you verify results.
4. Have it check your work - Yes.
It's a powerful tool as a macro editor, or to verify that you got something right, but it can't be trusted to generate anything.

No matter how many times you write and rewrite the code to generate loadable static link files (PE32/PE32+/Elf32/Elf64), it is always a major PITA, every single time.

When software was delivered on physical media, it would cost too much to deliver a reissue or fix. Software manufacturers went to greater lengths to ensure their products were stable for release. Sure there were still bugs, but you couldn't be fobbed off with "Subscribe for a fix in the next update"

A caution:
Building an assembler, linker and compiler from scratch, without using off the shelf parts (such as llvm or binutils), to target x86/64 and aarch64 on Windows and Linux, turns out to be really f***ing difficult.

I'd like to create a Pascal Programmers starter pack on here, but as yet, I only know of three others following me - a starter pack requires more.
Reply to this post if you know the joy, elegance and raw native performance of a modern variants of Pascal, such as fpc or Delphi.

Kid convinced me to go star gazing at random tonight. I didn't want to, its cloudy and cold. Glad I did though.
I got an unusually clear and intimate look at Jupiter aligned along Taurus. I mean, a great look, i was picking out stripes of colored cloud across it. Beautiful.
