@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ah, cool! :-) Yeah, it’s very wild what is happening under the hood all the time.

@prologic@twtxt.net You write so much code … it’s incredible. 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org These tables get shuffled around every time your OS switches to another process. It’s crazy that so much is going on behind the scenes.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I was surprised by that as well. 😅 I thought these were features that you can use, but no, you must do all this.

By the way, I now fixed the issue that I mentioned at the end and it works on the netbook now. 🥳

Wow, @movq@www.uninformativ.de, so many tables. No idea what I expected (I’m totally clueless on this low-level stuff), but that was quite an interesting surprise to me. https://www.uninformativ.de/blog/postings/2025-12-21/0/POSTING-en.html

@kiwu@twtxt.net Ta, same to you!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @kiwu@twtxt.net it just so happens to be a happy coincidence that I’m extending mu’s capabilities to now include a native toolchain-free compiler (doesn’t rely on any external gcc/clang or linkers, etc) that lowers the mu source code into an intermediate representation / IR (what @movq@www.uninformativ.de refers to as “thick layers of abstractions”…) and finally to SSA + ARM64 + Mach-O encoder to produce native binary executables (at least for me on my Mac, Linux may some later?) 🤣

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe But I thought Alpine was one of the good distro’s left. 😢 What’s it doing wrong?

@kiwu@twtxt.net Assembly is usually the most low-level programming language that you can get. Typical programming languages like Python or Go are a thick layer of abstraction over what the CPU actually does, but with Assembler you get to see it all and you get full control. (With lots of caveats and footnotes. 😅)

I’m interested in the boot process, i.e. what exactly happens when you turn on your computer. In that area, using Assembler is a must, because you really need that fine-grained control here.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de wow! what is assembler?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org have a good rest of your year!!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, a table of contents is indeed a great idea!

@kiwu@twtxt.net Finally doing some Assembler again. 😅 Just a tiny little bit at least.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, well, given that I didn’t need this for such a long time, it’s probably not an essential tool. 😅

I’ve often wanted to have an outline of text documents, though, and tagbar/ctags can do that as well:

This isn’t as powerful as the “Navigator” tool in StarOffice/LibreOffice (which can be used to rearrange the document), but still pretty useful:

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Interesting. I never found a big use for these kind of lists in general. But I might give it a shot again.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Not sure what it had in its beak. It looked a wee bit like a large biscuit. But it must have been rock-hard.

@kiwu@twtxt.net I’m doing great, how’re ya going? Just two more days and then I never have to work anymore. In this year.

I just baked two trays of gingerbread. One definitely good one and another experiment.

This morning was also super pretty: https://lyse.isobeef.org/morgensonne-2025-12-19/

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Awww, 03.jpg. 😍 Yeah, we also had a nice sunset. I was on the road, though, so no photos.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Pretty sure all my mu solutions are very slow, but not so slow as I optimized most of the implementations to avoid as much brute forcing as I could.

@prologic@twtxt.net It is, yes.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de This is the total amount of cpu time consumed right?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hmmm 🧐

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe I think I never watched it. In any case, enjoy reading your books.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Neither have I. :-D

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe These are all Debian release names: https://www.debian.org/releases/

• Bookworm is current oldstable
  
• Trixie is current stable
  
• Forky is current testing

@kiwu@twtxt.net evening!!!

@prologic@twtxt.net How on earth did you do that so quickly, especially day 10? People were struggling with this a lot. 🤯

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha 😆

@prologic@twtxt.net Jesus, that was quick. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I shrank Day 9 Part 2 from “cover the whole map” to “only track the interesting lines.” By compressing coordinates to just the unique x/y breakpoints, the grid got tiny. I still flood-fill and do the corner-pair checks, but now on that compact grid with weighted prefix sums for instant rectangle checks. Result: far less RAM, way less CPU, same correct answer.

@prologic@twtxt.net How did you optimize that? 🤔

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe Good 😊

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe Funny you should say that, I designed a new Prolog(ish) Symbolic Reasoning Engine and DSl over the holidays 🤣

That’s some cool science in @xuu@txt.sour.is’s backyard: https://youtu.be/bzBcs0jv9G4

@prologic@twtxt.net You won’t need floats, but 64 bit integers are mandatory. 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Whoop, whoop! Nice! And welcome back. 😅

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe Time to become a trixie or forky!

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Yes, exactly. It also blows my mind that with sooo much less budget and equipment, her videos are way superior to productions of big TV stations.

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe is that https://github.com/owncloud/ocis (Go based, instead of PHP 🤮)?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I swear, Her vlog is all I needed to cleanse my soul! Full of pure human interactions (whenever there is any), No BS No pretending and No Nonsense. Again, Thank you!

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Anytime! Glad you like it, too. :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org It was too late when I read the “Addictive” warning… 😆 Thanks for sharing this!

@bender@twtxt.net agreed

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com probably a bug on my end with the bridge. I’ll figure it out with your help when I get home from my holidays.

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe it was a mess, we are better without it. Until a new mobile client comes (not holding my breath), Yarn is very usable on the mobile, just using the browser.

@prologic@twtxt.net I dunno if it’s me or the bridge, but my pleroma instance didn’t pull any of your notes + a follow request got stuck as Request Sent

Waiting for @prologic@twtxt.net to make it back from his luxurious vacation, to engage on Australia’s teen-under-16 social media banning technical, parental, and philosophical discourse.

@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net I see, ta! :-)

@bender@twtxt.net that’s kind of what I was getting it initially yeah

@movq@www.uninformativ.de this is brilliant!
