Interesting. I just run it in docker compose: https://github.com/jcalabro/atlas/blob/fee905ba496d363188fb3...

Have you found them to work well and be consistent? I've been a helix user for a couple years now, and I found Zed's helix keybindings to be inaccurate. Either that or I have some config options set that were confounding them. Curious how your experience with them has been?

I remember reading a similar thing about FoundationDB with their DST a while back. Over time, they surfaced relatively few bugs in the core server, but found a bunch in the client libraries because the clients were more complicated and were not run under their DST.

Anyways, really interesting report and project. I also like your youtube show - keep up the great work! :)

I just gave it a try on some zig code and no dice. Works great with C though, and I might just be doing it wrong!

I had pretty much the exact same experience with my debugger (uscope). Your debugger looks awesome, nice work! Hopefully I'll have time to get back to mine at some point (or hopefully RAD comes to Linux first haha)

I had a similar experience with my girlfriend and Dr. Worm - genuinely one of my favorite songs of all time!

Show HN: Uscope, a new Linux debugger written from scratch

jcalabro — Fri, 31 Jan 2025 17:07:01 +0000

Hi! I've been building a debugger on my nights and weekends because it's fun, and I personally need a better debugger for my work. GDB and LLDB pain me greatly; we can and will do better!

As explained in the README, it's still very early-days and it's not ready for use yet, but check back often because it's improving all the time!

Check out https://calabro.io/uscope for a more detailed explanation.

Thanks for taking a look!

I grew up in the town next door to Norwell and I play the drums. I drove by many times and would have loved to have gone in and seen if they might have given a high school student a quick tour of the less-secret parts of the factory, but I never did.

There was definitely a strong drumming community in the area; there were some fantastic players and teachers around (i.e. Steve Smith from Journey was born in Whitman). Not sure if that's because of Zildjian, but it was a fun place to grow up and play music. It might just be that there are so many strong music universities in the area.

[2012] it took me a second when they said "Mayor Thomas M. Menino" rather than "former Mayor Thomas M. Menino"

I'm still having issues. I can't push, it just hangs forever.

I'm in the exact same boat right now. I'm too lazy to fix it, so this is basically the only reason I still have my FB account.

I've been using just at work and in personal projects for almost a year, and I like it a lot. In particular, its self documentation with `just --list` makes onboarding new folks easy. It's also just a nicer syntax than make.
