This is interesting sloproject but in spite of all verbosity I still didn’t parse how do you interface with it when it’s running on intended hw rather than in browser.

It’s often ‘impossible’ and until it happens /s

For 1000w draw it also generates almost as much heat, is your math including all the cooling required?

New comment by boguscoder in "TALA Is Open-Source"

Nit: TALA could be another layout engine for graphviz but its not a format itself (I suggested this in comments above). Graphviz also doesn’t imply specific layout unless you mean “dot” that is default. So conversion is somewhat undefined. Maybe you mean graphviz language to d2, afaik there is no official, 100% loss-less automatic translator because of some subtle differences in these declarative languages

Would integrating/implementing this into graphviz be a good move or mixing wrong things?

The funny thing is that these days they would make it a lot worse with LLMs, perhaps post lots of wins on LinkedIn too. It’s not impossible to steer that ship but it’s never gonna be one shotted in “do refactor, make no mistake” way

New comment by boguscoder in "Move in C++ without a std:move"

Title made me think they’d just show that move is just a simple cast, nothing more

Whole mouth brush was a gimmick for almost two decades if not more, maybe these days its more adequate but I can only imagine what it could do to gums. Doctors can’t wait..

have you summed up all the Spotify Helper processes from Chrome? alas its way beyond 200MB. But I just built and ran release build of fastpotify and its also hovering in 500s

Embedded could also mean no_std, which this is absolutely not. Still cool though

Question is how long it takes before you need a subscription or get paperweight like owners of Anki robots

New comment by boguscoder in "Aphantasia Beginner's Guide"

boguscoder — Thu, 27 Aug 2026 14:49:22 +0000

Not that this needs treatment (or is even curable), but I wonder how many people misdiagnose themselves as having aphantasia because of differences in how imagination works. Red apple test just doesn’t seem to be thorough enough. There were spikes of lactose intolerance, gluten intolerance and all sorts of other self-diagnosed deviations from the norm that has no connection to reality, its some quirk of human psyche to cling to any opportunity to feel “special”, mostly harmless but might but at times hinder search for help for those who really need it

Im mostly curious if R&D was self funded or its a problem of kickstarter-like bakers now? This wont pay off

Yes, you either follow Itanium ABI (non Win) or MSVC ABI. Technically nothing stops _your_ compiler from implementing totally own conventions but it will only be compatible with itself

Perhaps I didn’t read it thoroughly enough but it seems that lat/long of the “radar” are expected to be entered by user, I think using wifi positioning could be of great assist and could be done from mcu itself without involving web portal, though maybe portal already does it (didn’t get to see it)

It might not be so much of a peer pressure than “industry pressure” soon. You can keep hand-crafting it all you want as a hobby, but selling your crafts will be totally different matter
