After scanning ~40 pages of contract documents I just want to say that #GNOME Document Scanner rocks! No bullshit workflow, gets to job done. This is rare 👍

oops, went of the hook with this: https://lore.kernel.org/all/D400W37FR01S.CLFIKA98YWX7@kernel.org/

I think it would be pretty interesting idea to use BPF like this in kernel.

If #decentralized #services become a thing, I wonder if #mainframe 's make a strong comeback 🙂 They are machines made for transaction throughput.

Since there seems to be renewed interest in , I thought I'd have a look at the my CDE utilities from back then, which led me to my old Web page “Linux on a VAIO Z600LEK” http://dynalabs.de/mxp.old/vaio/index.html, because there's a screenshot of my work environment from back then. ⇢

So after reading around the Internet I got the picture that already GCC 14.1 could be able to compile Rust-Linux. Is this correct? Amazing progress if it is! I did not simply know this.

I'll give it a shot since 14.1 came out already at Spring if I recall correctly.

Update: I have now gccrs build ongoing, after that I'll just point it out to cargo with build.rustc-wrapper and see how it compiles user space code first. Very interesting and exciting ;-)

While making a track for Random Records [1] compilation I've noticed one and dumb and simple workflow improvement: for drum sounds hosted by a sampler in their own tracks it is best to keep key-tracking off.

Then the MIDI note values are free for Note Grid and for plugins like Effectrix 2. Saves tons of time because then no separate MIDI track is needed for triggering the effect.

#Microsoft and #Google should really put few million to GCC-Rust because they are the main corporate entities pushing the Rust code to the mainline.

Blame them instead of maintainers.

NIST's post-quantum key exchange algorithm is called "CRYSTALS-Kyber" 🤣 I guess NIST also has had a "brat summer". #NIST #cryptography #quantum

Firefox has been using Rust since 2017 and about fifth of its code that was previously in C/C++ has been written in Rust (see Oxidation sub-project).

I'd expect slower cycle for Linux than Firefox. I think this would be likely truth for operating system with decades of legacy (e.g. BSD derivatives).

This makes me think that making any conclusions after two years is simply not a pragmatic mindset.

First thought I had this morning was that I started wondering if you could make "ChatGPT - The Board Game".

Each player would have 4x4 grid that would be educated during game, taking inspiration from mechanical matchbox tic-tac-toe player from 60s. And decision making would based on the conclusions of the AI and player.

Simplifying machine learning feedback ideas could foster some cool ideas for board games ;-)

I have good news!

The best available documentation on Rust-Linux still exists (when compared to anything else available, including Linux own documentation):

https://www.nccgroup.com/us/research-blog/rustproofing-linux-part-14-leaking-addresses/

I emailed to NCC Group and they've had just changed the URL. It is four part series, and the first part contains the URLs for rest of this series.

Documentation can be written from either "how"-angle or "why"-angle. For me the "how"-angle is irrelevant because I always read the source code from end to end :-) So I don't get whole a lot from existing kernel documentation.

Why NPC's suck in games if the AI is great?

When Fallout 4 came out I stopped playing story oriented games because I started to feel like that I'm in a universe consisting of FSM's, which based on quiz trigger animation sequences ;-) No joke. Have not played story oriented games after 2015.

I guess you could improve a lot of taking some ideas of caching, tessellation algorithms and occlusion culling and apply them to AI. Like make "Quake solution" for AI. The best version would be used for the nearest entities, as it doesn't matter if the dudes far away are drunk/high ;-)

@glent Well, that's one way to look at it, I personally don't feel that way :-)

I'm working as a contractor through my own company so I guess I put that to my social media profiles instead of who I have a contract with :-) I pay my own salary for myself starting from October.

Right now I'm learning basics of #Inkscape because I don't have money to pay for a logo :-) It won't be great but it will be my own.

I'm using #IBM Plex font in this. I got the understanding that it is open source but have to check if the licensing terms allow to use it in a company logo.
