If you/your project is affected by DigitalOcean stopping their OSS credits program, please shoot me a PM immediately. Might be able to help.

Boosts for visibility would be appreciated.

LLVM Bay Area Monthly Meetup (Mon Oct 26 ‘26 6pm)

I propose we make a new internet browser called DOSnet and it just runs sandboxed DOS applications that can link to each other.

To support existing browsers, you convert your DOS binary to WASM.

Add a library that just adds some semantic HTML to the <canvas> element for accessibility where necessary for browsers.

Would probably end up being smaller than React sites at this rate.

Hackers was release exactly 11337 days ago.

Full house at #XDC2026 for the deep dive on Kraid, the new Panfrost compiler for Valhall and later Mali GPUs. A real software engineering masterclass on when to rewrite instead of patch. Great work Faith, Lorenzo & Christoph!

Sodium Citrate is the secret ingredient to make any cheese into smooth, creamy nacho cheese sauce.

Coincidentally, Sodium Citrate's chemical formula is ...

Na₃C₆H₅O₇

@keithp Linux uses some compiler option to avoid this hoisting for integer stuff, not sure if it's the same for FP. I know it's there because I told Will there was a race condition in the mmiowb emulation code, but he told me the option prevented the reordering -- I know that thread was public, but I forgot if our discussion was...

@keithp @oblomov IIRC that's the case, plumbing it all together would require adding some ABI between GCC and glibc because the routines are split. I don't think it'd be super hard or anything, it's just that softfp tends to be used in places where people don't care that much about floating point so it's just not anyone's priority.

Municipal elections are happening across Ontario in October. Here in Waterloo, I’m proud to support our incumbent mayor Dorothy McCabe and our incumbent Uptown councillor Julie Wright. Understanding the climate crisis and supporting climate action are important to me in any candidate for political office. Plus, Dorothy is a serious everyday cyclist!

@gbargoud @ascentale @meganL @bikenite looks like it works pretty well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycle_responder

@ascentale @meganL @bikenite

Not exactly a business but every time I see one stuck in traffic I wish they would try out having the first responders on (e?)bikes followed by the ambulance or fire engine for the second level of response.

@vathpela @elebertus @azonenberg that's been my experience too: if it looks like a nest of wires on the x-ray so they want to look at it, but when I open it up and it's clearly a bunch of expensive-looking stuff they basically don't want to touch anything and just sort of wave me through. I got an order of magnitude more hassle for having a USB cable in the bag with my toothpaste than having a whole case full of electronics stuff.

Just like many things, once what you're doing looks complicated enough people tend to just leave you alone.

The WAR ON WALKING has taken many forms around the world. All sorts of scales, contexts, policies, designs, rules and laws… in culture, in priorities, in norms & expectations.

And certainly in budgets.

In almost everything. But it’s often as simple as how we signal who space is and isn’t for.

Once our eyes are opened to all the ways we’ve prioritized cars over people, we can’t unsee it.

The Caltrain announcement keeps telling me to have a good Friday night. I'm pretty sure it's Thursday morning, but I'm still a bit worried I'm about to find out I'm very late...

I won't explicitly say why Arch Linux refused DHH's sponsorship offer. It's not my place to do so.

But it shouldn't be hard to figure out.

If you want to try the maintainer-container, the docs are here:

https://llore.docs.kernel.org/

It's still pretty early stages, and the feature set is fairly minimal. However, this will let you set up local list mirrors and access them via MCP to give you that ability to do things like "show me a summary of all new series sent to my subsystems today".

Can't be worse than Broadcom, surely.
