  1. I hope Nvidia's new offerings (Orin, Thor, etc) don't have the same issue in their bootROM. That would be an incredibly expensive mistake.
  2. Yeah, I think so. It's been ~25 years, and only while typing out that comment did I remember the error message and realize that's probably what I had done.

    If I recall correctly, he ended up scrapping the drive.

  3. I had a crappy computer with crappy internet back in the day. I didn't play Aardwolf, but I played another mud called Alter Aeon. I still have fond memory of it and check back in every few years.
  4. I had a friend's dad's computer's HDD fail while I was installing Linux on it to show him it. That was terrifying. I still remember the error, and I just left with it (and Windows) unable to boot. Later my friend told me that the drive was toast.

    Come to think of it, maybe it was me. I might have trashed the MBR? I remember the error, though, "Non system disk or disk error".

  5. The other doesn't actually need to not modify the (elf) binary, meaning he could add symbols to it or whatever as extra metadata. What matters is that all of the on-cartridge assets don't have their addresses changed from the perspective of the system (emulator) and the section/segment headers.
  6. scrobbling since 10 Mar 2006 with 179,105 scrobbles.
  7. I also (coincidentally) just started using OP's coder, and that also sets up ssh config to use special wildcard hosts, and unfortunately 'hogs' the config (it threatens to trash any changes to the coder section).
  8. I like that. I don’t want to use tmux (and I don’t when I’m working on my local machine), but I can’t escape it when SSHing. I could ssh to a ton of sessions, but then I 1. Have to remember their names 2. Can’t easily create a new pane (on the remote host) for some short task and 3. Need yet another solution for restoring my pane layout for when my client restarts.

    Maybe I’ll try the session name thing, I just foresee it being annoying. Do you see your tool as a shpool replacement?

  9. Wow very cool.
  10. I was typing out a response saying that you can buy an ice stick for cheaper, I went to check the price and it's $150 now! https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/lattice-semicondu...

    I bought one for $25 back in 2018! What's going on here?

    That obviously makes the FOMU a more reasonable starter purchase, but I'd still probably get an icebreacker for $80 (which I also have and love).

  11. I enjoyed playing with FPGAs and all the open-source tooling makes it so much quicker and easier.

    That said, I never understood the appeal of the FOMU. It's cool that it fits in a USB port, but so little IO, there's not a lot I can think to do with it.

    Has anyone heard of some cool projects that others have done with this hardware?

  12. I'm agreeing. I'm rather fit, low bodyfat %, and my BMI is about 27
  13. No way, a measure of fat around your midsection is a better predictor than height and weight, not accounting at all for composition?
  14. I forget the details since I haven't touched it in some time, but that sounds familiar. I think I remember being annoyed that I was given clones despite buying the kit from hit directly.

    You could rip it apart and do it again from scratch! You'd definitely learn some stuff you missed the first time. Of course, you could just try the project in OP's link instead.

  15. Maybe you were! I got the clock working well but none of the register modules worked correctly. I asked in the subreddit and apparently it’s asked a ton because Ben keeps a lot of stuff floating and for most that doesn’t work. I don’t mind having to do it but it’s annoying to have to find extra parts and extra annoying having to try to have it fit in the original footprint so that each breadboard still fits together as in the videos.
  16. I bought the kit and was making progress with it, but unfortunately you have to be extremely lucky to have it work with the way Ben wired it. He skips a lot of pull downs and such, and adding all that is such a chore. More importantly, it can’t really fit on the breadboards with the additional required circuitry, so you end up making a monstrosity that doesn’t doesn’t look anything like his, which really takes away from the value of his lessons.
  17. It’s worth noting that the author is not reverse engineering keyboard firmware at all. He is reverse engineering a firmware update tool which is (typically) significantly easier.
  18. Well it's not just some dude's config. It's a way to write most of your config as just a table. It notably provides nested tables, which offers a bit more flexibility than just one combo.

    But anyway, I just wanted to see if you were aware of it.

    I'm going to peek at yours now and see if there's anything I should crib.

  19. I like to see your config written in fennel. Have you checked out spacehammer? It’s a config for hammerspoon written in fennel that (mostly) gives you a nested modal hidden behind a prefix that lets you make nested hotkeys.
  20. > a better appraoch—less prone to typos and bitrotting

    Clever irony if intentional!

  21. Remember Digg? It's back. In Pog form.
  22. Yes, new plugins are written in Lua, and this one wasn't. That is what is too bad.

    Previous comment was written on my phone and it decided to autocorrect Lua to Lue.

  23. Vim is basically dead. Most new plugins are written in Lue (for Neovim). I don’t like Lue much but it’s 1000x better than vim script. I occasionally tweak my Neovim plugins but don’t bother with those written in Vimscript.
  24. Yeah, but weird/unfortunate that it's written in vimscript.
  25. Can you imagine carrying around the MAiD tote which they apparently give out?
  26. Don’t forget to smash the power looms as well.
  27. Not free or open source, but Mixel[1] is fantastic. You can find recipes by name, by ingredient, by taste. You can say what ingredients you have, and see what you can make, and you can even have it calculate which ingredient, if purchased, will open up the most new recipes to you.

  28. I mean even campfires and smoking in public have negative externalities which cause cancer. The marginal cost of each is tiny and probably hard to price, but it has a price. Adding this price would slightly offset the cost but more importantly act as a disincentive for buying a polluting vehicle.
