Deep Space 9 is pretty straightforward Star Trek until it turns to the relationship between the O'Briens, at which point it becomes an Edward Albee play -
Hmm. Maybe I should follow some folks on here.@noracodes famous last words

wow, now that's a scathing review. it's of soylent, if you were wondering

I'm not sure Intel losing out on the PlayStation 6 to AMD is as big a deal as Reuters makes it out to be.@jalefkowit no, but they're also on the way down and while it wouldn't have been a huge profit centre, it would have helped them downsize less.

more simd this morning.more simd this morning.
i am doing variable-length integers, for which i need to measure how much space they need. the usual tricks do not work for 64-bit integers on avx2, so i've had to roll my own.
it's 16 cycles for 4 integers, vs the stackoverflow suggestion coming out at about 20? if i didn't know CLZ was still 4/4 on zen4 that would look kinda terrible, but we still have to pay the several cycles for a simd load to do it at all, so it might not be a win on avx2.nonetheless it's pleasing to beat the "experts" at their own game.

recapping my controller took a fair bit longer than expected due to very tricky angles on the cap leads, but job done. gone from late-2000s era aluminium electrolytics to modern alupoly across the board.@fuzzySynths @erincandescent @gsuberland it'll be missing the RoHS marking.

was thinking of installing hot-water solar panels and photovoltaic panels. now thinking though of all PV; PV can just as well power the heat pump to make hot water@wingo and PV is now just as cheap unless you were planning to homebrew.

mozilla's main problem right now appears to be they just do not recognise that they have pissed users' trust up a wall and now we are suspicious of everything they do.@donkeyblam @glent @samir another pervasive feature of late stage capitalism is everything becoming samey. isn't it great being able to choose from 20 brands of identical spaghetti?

mozilla's main problem right now appears to be they just do not recognise that they have pissed users' trust up a wall and now we are suspicious of everything they do.absolutely zero long term vision or planning tbh. servo makes *so much sense* for the future if you are mozilla, i cannot fathom that decision.

mozilla's main problem right now appears to be they just do not recognise that they have pissed users' trust up a wall and now we are suspicious of everything they do.you may recall moz started servo, then merged part of it into gecko, then abandoned servo.
like they did with rust and some other things. things they've done for the better are the things they are abandoning.

mozilla's main problem right now appears to be they just do not recognise that they have pissed users' trust up a wall and now we are suspicious of everything they do.mozilla is pretty fucked anyway, they have relied on google buying default search engine placement illegally.
even if they manage to scrape out of this by building back trust, we are all likely to move onto servo at some point.

mozilla's main problem right now appears to be they just do not recognise that they have pissed users' trust up a wall and now we are suspicious of everything they do.look, i'm going to put this in simple words that even a mozilla employee could understand:
earn back our trust or die.

you cannot, in a position like that, just do things which look dodgy as fuck and expect users to suck it up quietly, whether or not they are as they look.

you know, when you compare compression algorithm times and ratios, i can see why people particularly like zstd.just as an indication of how times change, i used to get benchmark results in *milliseconds* and now i get them in *nanoseconds*

you know, when you compare compression algorithm times and ratios, i can see why people particularly like zstd.the other metric that comes up a lot is times per second. for example if an operation takes a nanosecond, you can do it a billion times a second.
so when i've time to design things properly, i'm looking to minimise the potential bottlenecks that are within our control. and in practice the user is going to run it on some junker and it will manage to hit every bottleneck anyway, no doubt.
