This is totally unrelated so I have to assume that you didn't realize your post looks like it has a random Nazi dog whistle in it, if you were wondering what that other person's comment means.

You can use yabai without any of the tiling functionality (set the default mode to "float"), I have actually been using it with BTT to fix this exact problem. Thanks for letting me know that a fix has been added directly to BTT though!

The share button doesn't show up on Firefox for some reason?

Fun stuff! It would be nice to be able to make longer patterns. Maybe by having triggers that play randomly or every nth loop, like a lot of drum machines do.

skupig — Sat, 23 Aug 2025 15:00:20 +0000

Yeah, I had the same experience. I had an embedded project where I would need to use C libraries, and it seemed like a great excuse to try Zig, but it spat out a ton of esoteric errors I couldn't be bothered to figure out and I went back to Nim.

Not that I can read any of it... Forth looks unlike any other language I've ever seen o_O

Some people choose to have principles and live by them. Self-hosting email isn't really worth the hassle IMO, but switching to a smaller provider is (I moved to Fastmail).

New comment by skupig in "How Riot Games is fighting the war against video game hackers"

skupig — Sun, 04 May 2025 21:33:24 +0000

CS has a concept of "trust factor" which groups people more likely to be cheating in the same game. If you ever queue with a friend with a low trust factor (which happens a lot if they're on a smurf account), there are cheaters in pretty much every game... seeing that many blatant cheaters has really made me think there must be a lot of smarter cheaters flying under the radar in regular games. It's basically impossible to tell whether someone is wallhacking or if they have really good game sense.

Nice UI, but I think someone needs to say it: there's no novel concept here, I've seen the exact same game printed in magazines and on kids' menus. If you're trying to catch people's attention, you need a clever gimmick that they haven't seen before.

There's still not much reason to recurse using the program's own call stack rather than having your own stack structure that can live in dynamic memory and be handled in a context-appropriate way (e.g. returning an error at some depth limit rather than being killed by the OS).

I think your categorical dismissal of a genre that defies categorization (including one of the undisputed most influential eletronic artists ever!) disqualifies you from being able to identify "interesting" music. You sound like a boring person.

You being unwilling to spend the barest amount of effort to recycle it is your problem, not Apple's.
