even after experiencing the tundra its very hard to pinpoint where or even what exactly just one tundrum would be. just one of many conundra i have observed

its still really funny to me that the word algorithm is just the name of a guy who wrote some books on indian math

Dragons: Principles, Techniques, and Tools

[discord orbs] new payment method for discord nitro. watch our 100 ads

introducing discord orbs. did i already make a post about this

i forgot working on this cohost thing meant reading code i havent seen at all in like 6 months

drawing to the screen is so easy on vga. why cant linux be easy

i just passed the turing test

[tapeworm mentioned] the tapeworm is just one part of a fully functional naturally occurring turing machine

trace fossil captures 177 million year old cpu in ia-32 compatibility mode—can intel bring 'merced' back from extinction?

i like how the local timeline is basically just me, with the occasional other person every 20 posts so you dont get bored

theta delta... where is the rest of the expression... what are mathematicians hiding from you...

this fourier transform issue may require the classic strategy. Graphing

after you add more files to the disk you have to refragment it

its always been kind of funny to me that the power portion of the sata connector is wider than the data one. which makes sense given its serial and hard drives are mechanical devices with motors and so forth. but it still feels like it should be the other way around

ive spent so long debugging my fourier transform code and im really starting to think the problem is entirely because im using the libc complex math functions instead of just doing it myself

sorry everyone. cohost is great and all but i just found out how to do something way cooler: the fourier transform

new extremely bad memory protection strategy. what if we page aligned each stack frame and put unmapped gaps between each

new solution to ipv4 exhaustion. encapsulate all ip packets in udp and use the port number as the least significant 16 bits of a 48 bit ip

if x86 is so complex how come mine keeps operating on reals

i think amd should proudly become the first x86 vendor to proudly support paged real mode outside of virtualization. and once we have that we can start demanding 64 bit real mode

timidity++ chokes so hard on a bunch of modules i like but it also gives them all a cool reverb. so overall its kind of just as good as a normal module player

the point of distributed computing ultimately is if the graphics thread of your game is running slow for example because theres not enough free cpu time you can just offload it to a much faster computer, maybe on the other side of the world. and then that computer can send your gpu commands by […]

well my desktop could totally run macos now that i think about it

in 2070 we will have to make new tough choices. such as which is better, being able to go in an mri machine or being able to port forward your brain

i may finally get started on 'cohost for mastodon' again tomorrow now that i have some free time

im surprised neither intel nor amd have developed a cpu with two pipeline frontends, one for x86 and one that basically just bit shuffles mips or arm instructions into the same microoperations

i think what the entrysign exploit documentation doesnt fully capture is how wild the book they reference, 'the anatomy a high performance microprocessor: a systems perspective,' really is. i think if you went into this level of detail about zen 2 amd would fire you. probably because if anyone […]

well guess who found out about discords inactive account policy today. the really really hard way

ive never ever broken more than my first ever arch installation but my most used one is full of hilarious problems like 'it is impossible to use paru without a specific hard drive that is not in the fstab mounted' that not only did i personally invent but am never ever fixing, in a way that […]

swap to remote x window framebuffer

this linux thing is stupid. Where is dxdiag

the exciting new inverse of download more ram. upload more ram

huh. i guess i could cross assemble 32 bit real address x86 up to x86_64 couldnt i

i think the secret hidden corollary of 'tis-100 and shenzhen i/o are video games' is the llvm software ecosystem is a video game as well and comparatively far more open world

[food?] scientists are discussing new hypothetical n-bean salads

when will they be producing a monostable tetrahedral die

i love how mathematicians will say 'we invented a new shape' and everyone goes crazy for it

a new crouton has been discovered in a recently unearthed cafeteria

(seeing any two cockroaches) so which one of you is the tingus and which one is the tangus

the most powerful computer i own has a floppy drive connected to it right now and the only monitor its plugged into is a crt. its as if im one of the Hackers (1995)

(explaining the avx instruction set) well you see. each doubleword of memory mapped to the process represents one axis in a high dimensional 'user space'

new idea. run mac os on the ps4

1000 posts about how bad gif is. do i have to write my own decoder to work out whats with that

dos was a secret plot by microsoft to make developers write one hundred programs that only run if youre in the one operating mode the 386 could have just left out entirely

[vvvvvv] 29:34.90. not so bad

a survey from 2002:

i started reading the cobol on that floppy disk i have and found the funniest thing in the world. now reproduced below DISPLAY "I AM FINE". COMPUTE Z = X - Y. DISPLAY Z. EXIT PROGRAM.

if the singular of mutices is mutex then the singular of precipices is obviously precipex. why is no one talking about this

tumblr is presently in a 'juggling lab' phase posting gifs made in it, hence one of foones recent keyboards, but honestly to me nothing will ever top 2015 classic post 'i am the final boss. defeat me and save your world...'
