When comparing micro-architectures in general so that it makes any possible sense, at minimum comparative analysis of advantages of disadvantages would be appropriate.

Not sure if I dare to say this but what a load of nonsense.

Just to name an example, the standard for RISC-V with MMU is unfinished and ambiguous to the point that how a SiFive CPU's do stuff is more of a guideline than the specs. The commercial weight if AFAIK more in the compute core area where you just "fork" the hardware description and make it your own.

Not slandering RISC-V per se, I actually like many thing in that ISA, just saying that it is not *even* comparative to x86 and ARM at this point of time. E.g. OpenMIPS would have been (if there had been any analysis of other ISA's than x86).

Interactive external commands is also one reason that made me return back to regular #vim, in addition to working remotes out of the box and the fact that I use only a few plugins, which carry out somewhat trivial tasks where e.g. performance is not a factor.

Interactive external commands is a useful feature from time to time because it allows to leverage privileges for an external command.

For example, this will result an error in #neovim instead of a password prompt: :r !sudo ls.

The next time you're worried that you're not doing great at your job, just remember that someone probably made six figures to change HBO to HBO Max to Max.

Just published the #ASG2024 schedule! Lots of good stuff, and at least one terrible talk that nobody should attend.

Early bird tickets are also still available - but not for long - go grab them while they last!

Another step forward towards making the compiler omniscient:

(Excluding "test for overflow" code patterns when using the unexpected overflow checker in Clang.)

Built a site with a PDF resume (see /about) using Jekyll and Typst:

https://jarkko.codeberg.page/

Woodpecker CI puts everything together for every push building both site and the resume:

https://codeberg.org/jarkko/pages/src/branch/main/.woodpecker.yml

And resume made with Typst is a separate project, which can be updated independently while publication is taken care by the site project: https://codeberg.org/jarkko/resume

This is convenient…

I just realized that #vim has these in the distribution:

❯ ls -1 /usr/share/vim/vim91/pack/dist/opt/
cfilter

dvorak
editexisting
editorconfig
justify
matchit
shellmenu
swapmouse
termdebug

Thus, I can shrink my plugin list a bit:

diff --git a/.vimrc b/.vimrc

I think #hmac #encryption series for #TPM went well, and also think that enabling it by default only for x86-64 at first was the right call. The recent issue on power architecture proved it. It is better increase scope per request by architectures instead. #linux #kernel

I use ctags myself but if I’d really wanted to use LSP with kernel tree I’d put this running to a tmux pane:

echo vmlinux | entr scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py

In English: every time vmlinux changes, compile_commands.json will change.

Apple has committed to allowing rivals to access the 'tap and go’ technology of iPhones.

Today’s decision opens up competition.

From now on, competitors will be able to effectively compete with Apple Pay for mobile payments using iPhone in shops.

LOL, took time and learnt to use #vim's internal spell checker after using it since 1998. Thought that I should do it since my worst side at #LKML is that I have misspelling in every second #email.

I also have minor dyslexia so reading those emails before sending might not help.

Considering the possibility of rendering #typst #polylux slides as a "deck' of SVG files without header and footer.

Then in the 2nd phase the SVG files would be embedded into company or organization template, as if each slide contained a full size image.

I guess this could potentially work out well, as long as aspect ratio matches.

I've been also thinking of creating a private deck.git, which would just contain random conclusion composed into "raw" slides. I'm lazy at preparing presentations so this could be a key to improve my game a bit in this area :-) I.e. capture an idea into a slide and commit at the time of realizing something...

#Vim for #UEFI: https://github.com/mischief/efivim #EFI

I believe that this was written by AI ;-)

The story goes like that some people use #Vim and #Emacs, and others use #IDE 's, and one should use the tools that help to get the job done.

OK, cool, who cares? I don't. Write your kernel patches with Microsoft Word if that works for you, as far as I'm concerned...

I wonder if #NetworkManager will integrate as client of networkd? People like to hate NM but I actually like nmcli.

For instance, if I need to throw a bridge, I simply just:

nmcli connection add type bridge ifname br0 stp no
nmcli connection add type bridge-slave ifname enp63s0 master br0
nmcli connection up bridge-br0

NM is just an interface for whatever shenanigans below so I guess it should be possible to interface it to networkd, right?

Is #GNOME going to move forward with this eventually, or is NM going to be ditched? I don’t actually care how soon such thing might happen, I’m just worried about loosing good old NM ;-)
