it lives! JVM in Bash

for now it only has ~5 opcodes implemented, and one virtual method (println). So this is literally the minimal amount of Stuff to get a hello world working

next up, conditionals?

God, this bubble burst is going to be so brutal

341 of the 733 changes[1] picked up for #Linux 6.15.3 could theoretically have made it into #kernel 6.15-rc6[2], as they were committed to some subsystem tree by then already.

Those are the changes that @gregkh meant when he recently wrote "[…] might also spur maintainers/developers to get fixes into -final a bit more as well :)"[3] (screenshotted).

[2] And thus could have seen two weeks of testing before 6.15 was released – instead of about 3 days that 6.15.3-rc1 was out.

Tired of "free" QR code generators that are full of ads and trackers, that share your data, and that want to sell you something? Me too. Here's my act of resistance: I made a one-page site that works entirely in your browser to generate a simple QR code. And that's all it does. You can download the HTML page and run it locally, even. Read the source; nothing up my sleeves. Just a QR code.

My offer to you -- I will continue to pay for the domain name and web hosting for it, myself. If you find it valuable, you can pay it back by creating your own useful thing for the world and releasing it for free. Let's take back the friendly web, one vexingly-monetized utility at a time!

Internet Archive is looking for engineering managers with a rare set of experiences, and we could use your help.

Do you know someone with extensive experience using PHP as a systems language? Someone who has gardened a petabyte-scale system under high load? Is this person a player/coach engineering manager who enjoys helping other people succeed?

If you do know someone like this, or someone close, I would love to talk to them.

Apply at this link and drop me a line:

I guess I haven't been paying enough attention, but Intel's APX is a really big update to their ISA:
- 32 GP registers
- setting flags is optional in many cases
- instructions take 3 operands instead of 2
