I stole this from the other thread

A kernel, in computing terms, is the computer program that sits between applications and the hardware, facilitating their interactions.

This is the GNU/Linux operating system’s kernel (the part that is technically Linux) showing its architecture.

The columns represent the areas of functionality the kernel offers, the rows (from top to bottom) representing the level of abstraction from the hardware.

From the top; user space, where users barely have to think about the hardware enabling their applications. To the bottom; the hardware itself and the interfaces that enable the kernel to talk to them.

The lines represent the relationships between the various Linux kernel functions and structures - the text - that interact with one another directly.

The diagram is interactive in the sense that you can click the functions/structures and be taken to relevant resources to help a Linux kernel developer navigate the humongous amount of code that comprises the kernel, to accelerate debugging etc.

This diagram has been continuously developed for well over 15 years at this point and is somewhat iconic in the Linux world as it makes tangible the kernel and its thousands upon thousands of lines of code which I doubt any one developer has or could read and comprehend as a whole without the use of tools like this map.

It’s mostly on the right, so it can’t be too hard to pin down

Why did my walls and floorboards start speaking Turkish to each other after reading this

whoever runs the channel will singlehandedly cause a worldwide antidepressant shortage

“Please don’t tell anyone I showed you my penis, I’ll give you $250k”

And at a yacht club, I feel like anyone who does get it, is not going to be someone who can’t make a lifelong pacifist throw their first punch.

Ah, C++! I prefer my engineers use GoogleScript at the company I bought out. I feel like Google is the safest bet. Like, one day Apple and Microsoft might stop updating C++, where now everything is Blockchain and AI based, Google will keep its market share and keep supporting g GoogleScript…

(He bought a Java Enterprise Consulting company.)

There’s a lot of things that are like “duh”, but it’s good that someone writes it down so someone else later down the line will have a harder time saying “um acktually video games cause stress and anxiety, not the lower wages and hotter summers” and get a fat cheque from the Heritage Foundation.

I have not; although I have been warned that it’s not at all what it appears to be

I have heard similar, more specific details about themes of the game. I’m going to put it off until I’m in a better place, mentally. I don’t know if what I heard was true, but I don’t want to risk finding out more, because it is so highly regarded and I want to play it eventually, also I love entertainment where “it’s best going into it blind”

IT AGAIN NOW

I imagine there are game devs who were laid off by the studio of the game they are playing getting extra pissed.

Like, they may know why a game breaking bug is happening and how to fix it, but they can’t, because the dipshit CEO wanted another yacht.

game was too hard for my smoothie brain

also the AI voice actors are kinda rude and sound very bad by today’s standards

the engine is off
you left the brakes on
stop fucking with the egg yoke I swear to god I will BSOD;you

anyone have recommendations for flying games that were made for dipshits like me?

A lot of people have trouble getting motivated.

Your comment made me chuckle a little bit.

I ask myself that same question every day. What’s the point of anything? Do I really need to get out of bed, get to work, eat food, climb out of the debt trap I’m in or even browse Lemmy?

Something like this could help ease that daily question from myself. If it doesn’t work, it’s fine. Worth a shot. Free is cheaper than recreational drugs.

arbitrary npm package:

The only one that comes to mind is Hamilton Morris. I don’t know if Morris is a first name, but I really like the dude. He did a bunch of documentaries about drugs for VICE. Big tangent incoming.

Those documentaries are really good. He did one about Project Coast, an awful program started by the apartheid government in South Africa (before Mandela became president). It’s the reason why the country still has such a high usage of methaqualone (AKA qualuudes, called Mandrax or “Buttons” colloquially) compared to the rest of the world.

Project Coast did so many much fucking lingering damage. Poisoned baby milk, nerve agents, you name it.

It was engineered by this piece of shit who earned the nickname “Dr. Death”, Wouter Basson. Cunt got away with it. He’s somehow still a practicing cardiologist in Cape Town. Infuriating.

Main point: those documentaries are worth a watch. Not an ad. Pirate it if you want.

Also, if anyone happens to be near Dr Death’s practice, just fucking exorcise that demon.

oh

lol

didn’t cross my mind that someone would make a CLI program in js

I mean, I’ve done it, but I am a registered dunce cap owner.

Very cool

are you under 16

no

ok cool here’s a youtube short when an AI voice tells you an AI-written story over vaguely related stock footage

The planet is fucking melting and elected leaders are writing laws on herding cats

I’ve been using the internet for longer than I’ve been an adult.

I still sometimes add +10 years to date of birth fields out of habit.

Might as well have issued a mandate to nom a spoonful of sand daily.

My friend from university sends me his Rust code snippets sometimes. Ngl it looks like a pretty cool language.

There was also that tldr reimplemention in Rust that is a gatrillion times faster than the original.

I really want to give it a try but I have executive dysfunction and don’t have any ideas of what I could use it for.

How is that a ceasefire when IDF troops snipe kids and journalists in their downtime?

Does the spectrum for that word usually range from lighting the wrong side of a cigarette to serious crimes against human dignity?
