My retro computing niche is source code archaeology: the art of reconstructing maintainable source code from disassembly and reverse engineering. It's harder than it sounds but also fascinating and rewarding. I also enjoy working with unpopular or niche programming languages. I very much follow the beat of a different drum.
I look forward to new releases of Raku. When I first started using the language "Hello, World!" took north of 300ms as measured by `time`. Now it's down to ~100ms; #Perl is only so much faster.
If that's what the #Rakulang folks can do with a hard to optimize compiler, I'm really looking forward to RakuAST.
I'm sure that will take time to improve too, I get it.
1. Make it work.
2. Make it pretty.
3. Optimize it.
What's left for #RakuAST to go live?
Any suggestions on a sub $500 printer that reliably self-levels its bed and has an enclosure? I have cats.
I had an Ender 3 several years ago. I couldn't get it to level. Zero successful prints. I don't want a repeat.
As someone who has had it with Reddit's heavy handedness and is looking into Lemmy again, where should I go?
I see the Readdthat instance, but the pun notwithstanding I'm not sure if that's the best instance for a Reddit Refugee. Suggestions?
Can someone recommended good meal creation guides for home canned/lacto-fermented foods?
Any suggestions on what to plant in a small garden?
I'm looking for a modern introduction to #C. Something that is slow and steady but through. This is as much for systems programming on Linux as embedded work; I intend to do a bit of both. Any suggestions would be helpful. #programing #programinghelp #askfedi
I may have bricked a ThinkNode M1 due to a flashing mishap. It just says, "loading" but the firmware payload never seems to start. Attempting to use the web-based flasher causes Chrome to lockup at the select USB device popup.
Holding the reset pinhole button at the bottom just power cycles the device. No failsafe mode.
Is there a way to fix this locally from a Linux machine? #meshtasic #meshcore
Can anyone recommend a solid encrypted plain text editor for Android with Markdown support. Open source options only, please. Thanks!
What's a good rule of thumb for differentiating on sight vibe coded bullshit from projects that simply leverage AI in some capacity? Discuss.
