Golang: (Still) Not a Fan
I try to be pragmatic when it comes to programming languages. I've enjoyed learning a lot of programming languages over the years, and they all have varying benefits and downsides. Like a lot of topics in Computer Science, choosing a language is all about tradeoffs.
I've seen too many instances of people blaming the programming language they're using for some problem when in fact it's just that …

watching modern lectures on compilers while having the 6502 in mind as your target is pretty funny.

Mastodon FeedFor reference, turning down the brightness by 15% on my 49" ultra-wide display makes a difference of 25W.
At roughly 10 hours of daily usage, that's 0.25kWh each day or about 50 Euros per year!
Mastodon FeedEasiest way to save some energy and money tho: turn down your display's brightness by just 10 to 15 percent. Makes a huge difference, especially with bigger displays.
Mastodon FeedSwitched to the amd_pstate CPU scaling driver on Arch just now, seems to save about 20W on average for my Ryzen 5900x.

It's amazing how we've allowed the digitisation of essential social services off the hook of delivering minimally usable sites.
Interested in pushing back? My DMs are open. We need lawyers, technologists, and NGOs (per state) to begin to change things.

- A picture of an ADB Extended Mouse 2 on a cutting mat, with cable looped tidily next to it. The mouse is an apple platinum beige colour, with its single button replaced with an inverted T layout suspiciously identical to that from an Apple Extended Keyboard II. The single button appears to have no actual replacement. This is technically Apple's first no-button mouse. You wonder how it might click and drag, or click at all, and begin to hyperventilate...

1996: Charles Jacobi and his team are hired by General Mills to create a total conversion for the already-dated Doom engine that is released in CD-ROMs inside cereal boxes: Chex Quest
1997: General Mills hires them to create Chex Quest 2 which is rushed to production and only ever released on their web site, presumably downloaded primarily by users of Netscape Navigator 4.x; it is pulled down before long
2008: Charles Jacobi creates a 3rd episode and remasters the first two and releases them all together as a free download on his personal web page
now the thing I'm wondering is like ... did he go back to General Mills and ask permission to distribute a derivative of the first two games he created? and if so ... how on earth did that conversation go?

chex quest is one of those things you figure you must have hallucinated because it's so vivid and so impossible, but somehow
chex quest is real
