I've always understood the concept of compilers turning high-level languages into assembly for CPUs to actually execute, but I've never really considered how that sausage is made.

In this video series Pixeled pulls back that curtain and describes the logic and rationale on how compilers are actually created for high-level languages.

This appears to be a variation of the "standwich." Please see the attached for an example.

Watching them do the chair was... terrifying... Just seeing the rigging they used stretch and jump up in 200lbf increments gave me sweaty palms.

I had to get an MRI at the start of the year and told them I had metal permanent retainers and was slightly concerned. They were like "Nah, you're fine." I was like "Okay, just please don't steal my teeth 😬"

Ed Currie is actually a mad man.

I don't know how I feel about this personally. On the one hand, I feel like this is a privacy win for those who want it: no watch history means no algorithmic recommendations and (presumably) less data collection for those users. On the other hand, I personally really enjoy the recommendations that YouTube makes for me. Maybe it is the wide variety of content that I watch, but I'm honestly very pleased with the recommendations that YouTube provides. That being said, I feel like the opt-in to algorithmic recommendations is a good thing overall, however I am personally going to leave my watch history enabled.

Back when COVID was in its prime, I was contributing CPU/GPU cycles to Folding@Home for protein folding simulations and working on a vaccine. Since then, I've reimaged my desktop twice. I should probably reinstall the BOINC client to contribute again...

I'm out of the loop, what is France trying to do with regard to DNS?

Yes Theory is a larger channel, but I love the positivity they provide. In this video they are able to share a unique experience with Reg and he is so grateful to be able to share the journey. Super cool video, IMO, and would absolutely love to do something like this if given the chance!

This video is a must watch for explaining the fundamental problems of crypto/NFTs.

Warning: it long, like feature movie long, but really informative.

This article is so cringey.

Right off of my last post about Mozambique from Indigo Traveller, this video talks about the lives of those in Appalachia. Very interesting perspective in my opinion, and goes a great way to discuss the struggles faced with regard to education, industry, and life in general in WV, USA.

I've used the PWA, Jerboa, Liftoff, and Connect.

Jerboa is probably my favorite of the bunch. I prefer how compact everything is and the 0.0.33 version was working well. I upgraded to 0.0.36 and performance took a bit of a hit so I figured I would explore alternatives. Also when I looked at other options 2FA support had not been added (it's working as of this post)

The PWA is more than functional,and I like it quite a bit. Don't like that backing out of a post navigates to the top of the page though.

Connect is good too, just personally not a fan of the larger interface, even in list/compact mode.

Currently using liftoff. Performance is good, 2FA support is available, and in list/compact mode it's tolerable. I still do prefer the compactness of Jerboa though.

Very frustrating to hear. I've been slowly migrating away from RHEL-based distros after they shifted CentOS to be upstream from RHEL. This is another nail in the coffin in my books.

Good evening all,

I recently finished listening to a great podcast called The Downtime Project which discusses post-mortems from large companies. The hosts analyze the root causes of the outage, what the company did well, and what the company could have done better.

I found this format fascinating and learned how to approach complex systems and identify some shortcomings in my own systems that I manage.

Unfortunately, it looks like there's only one season currently and I'd like to see if there's anything similar that anyone else is listening to.

Formats similar to this would be awesome, but anything tech-related would peak my interest!
