@joe@f.duriansoftware.com CFENCE is used by the Rust language to separate safe code from unsafe C-style code.

@Cdespinosa @_the_cloud @justkwin @integerpoet @jamesthomson I still have two different usernames inside Apple, because when I joined in 2001 my requested name collided in one system but not the other, and the admins didn’t coordinate the move to my second choice.

@halcyon@bitbang.social @csilverman@mastodon.social @root42@chaos.social Yes, that's me, and yes, the email probably got filtered away. Looking forward to seeing what you have built!

@regehr Such a pain. Some builds want compilers == cores, others will swap to death if you try that.

@halcyon @csilverman @root42 Nice. I have a similar strategy running as an unpublished side project that I have poked at occasionally for many years. (No Metal, it's OpenGL, that's how old it is!) Be warned that you'll need increasing amounts of classic Mac OS re-implementation as you add more modules. You may find the open-sourced code of ARDI Executor useful as a reference for what one reverse-engineer determined that Mac OS did: https://github.com/ctm/executor

@0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange Is the Netherlands closer to or farther from China than your previous home?

@timhutton@mathstodon.xyz gonna tell my kids this was the endgame column puzzle from The Witness (2016)

@dan@discuss.systems @irene@discuss.systems What do you mean "unfinished"? You mean the built-in cat toy attached to the side?

@tsherrygeo Can't wait for the inevitable interminable spinoffs, one movie for each Duncan Idaho.

@eedly @whophd @jcdvore @halcyon @csilverman @root42 Neat. The artwork and animation for After Dark TNG was very good, nice work getting it all to fit on those disks!

@halcyon @csilverman @root42 iirc AD 3.0 also introduced their full-blown custom dynamic shared library linker/loader. I made a little progress deciphering it before giving up and just running the After Dark INIT inside the simulated system. After Dark 2.0 and More After Dark are definitely the sweet spot, more fun and more results for less effort. Oh hey, here's a screenshot from 2017. I never polished the interface as well as yours…

@jcdvore @whophd @halcyon @csilverman @root42 I have bad news for you: After Dark's Star Trek screensavers are terrible. Awful across the board with like one mediocre exception.

@keithpjolley@discuss.systems One time I actually did have a "password no longer works" problem that wasn't my fault. (Two backend systems were unified. This imposed a new password requirement inherited from one system onto accounts from the other system—'*' became disallowed iirc—and they apparently decided that the right way to handle existing passwords was to do nothing and wait for the frustrated users to call the helpdesk.)
