lsbehe — Thu, 12 Mar 2026 15:02:57 +0000

Everyone I knew working as a bank teller quit because the actual job is screwing over old people with bad performing and long lasting investments. My bank calls me at least once a year to tell me my personal bank teller changed again.

I'll miss getting documentation as a pile of pictures in a PDF.

Why are the metadata blocks the way they are? I see you used pack directives but there already are plenty of padding and reserved bits. A 19 byte header just seems wrong. https://github.com/ef1500/libbbf/blob/b3ff5cb83d5ef1d841eca1...

archlinux doesn't offer the new version yet. https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/aspnet-runtime/ Only exposing stuff behind caddy so it doesn't seem to be an issue.

M$ offers system wide installations. Those don't seem to be updated automatically either but at least I don't have to deploy 6 servers now.

He mentioned FFI into and out of his code, which has been my main encounter with unsafe rust too. Often enough I could limit the use to the entry/exit code but that's not always possible.

Intel doesn't ship "native" DX9 drivers for Arc. It's either Microsofts D3D9On12 or DXVK.

I have to reload every page multiple times until it loads. Can we please stop having static websites rely on 65 (???) scripts.

Worth noting that the author, Daniel Lemire, wrote the great and incredible fast libraries simdjson and simdutf.

I hate this kind of article where something constantly moves. I can't scroll away one funny GIF without the next one appearing.

What kind of person does this appeal to?

It's not caching the stylesheet. If you plan on updating it a lot you should still enable caching and e.g. increment a url parameter every time you change it (like style.css?v=3).

Tried CHIP-8 and so far I got

// TODO: Translate the above Rust into CHIP-8

### TODO

and now it got stuck on emitting some assembly. I don't exactly know what because CHIP-8 doesn't have an assembly representation.

It printed this 16 times

New comment by lsbehe in "IPv6 support for cloning Git repositories?"

lsbehe — Thu, 29 Sep 2022 18:15:12 +0000

IPv6 isn't 6 bytes It's 16 bytes. With your example it would be 10.20.30.40.50.60.70.80.90.100.110.120.130.140.150.160

Also we don't live in a world where you type IP addresses into your browser. DNS is an unfortunate case but generally you don't have to do it constantly at least.

New comment by lsbehe in "What's TypeScript compiling? Use a treemap to find out"

lsbehe — Mon, 01 Aug 2022 14:51:04 +0000

That treemap looks neat. Knowing which dependencies pull in a lot of code is very useful.

What confuses me though is how much space these libraries take.

321kb for a router? 3.4mb for material ui? 1mb for jquery?

New comment by lsbehe in "Nutanix Objects violates MinIO’s open source license"

lsbehe — Tue, 19 Jul 2022 10:38:09 +0000

libvirt uses LGPL and the KVM/linux kernel uses GPL. Both are fine to keep to yourself if you run it on your own machine and only expose it over the network.

MinIO uses AGPL which explicitly includes network usage so Nutanix is forced to provide all patches and associated code.

This one is actually hilarious because google cites the site wrong for me. >Apache HTTP Server >It is one of the most popular web servers around the world. As of May 2022, Apache holds 31.5% of the market according to W3Techs and 22.99% according to Netcraft. It's quoting that from https://www.stackscale.com/blog/top-web-servers/ which clearly states Nginx as the top one. >As of May 2022, Nginx holds 33.5% of the market according to W3Techs and 30.71% according to Netcraft.
