rant on software dev practices
What is it with P5js and virtually all its ecosystem (like Q5js) that, still today, didn't manage to _properly_ package their libraries to be distributed and used via package managers?
Same with their insistence to push global resources and state everywhere... and of course virtually not documenting any of the truly delicate details, just the trivial stuff that could be auto-discovered by relying on auto-complete tools.
I kind of understand wanting to keep the vanilla experience alive, making it "easy" for novices... but that shouldn't be at odds with more "professionalized" production pipelines, at least *not that much*.
For example, with Q5js:
- The NPM packages could be mentioned in their documentation (they are not, even though they are official)
- The NPM packages could define proper exports (same for the JS modules themselves), not forcing us to rely on relative paths to files in node_modules... 🤦
- Globals could be at least namespaced... of course, it would be much, much better if they didn't exist at all.
I'm writing this in 2025, not 1993... and I'm... "triggered".
At this point I'll have to check if I have any other neuro-condition beyond ADHD that makes me "obsessed" with technical flaws, because it seems to be a "me problem" when either virtually nobody sees that as a huge collection of fatal design flaws... or they see it and don't care at all.

Efficient Memory Tiering in a Virtual Machine
Memory tiering is the norm to effectively tackle the increasing server memory total cost of ownership (TCO) and the growing data demands of modern data center workloads. However, the host-based state-of-the-art memory tiering solutions can be inefficient for a virtualized environment when (i) the frequently accessed data are scattered across the guest physical address space or (ii) the accesses to a huge page inside the guest are skewed due to a small number of subpages being hot. Scattered or …

Flow-induced vibration of twin-pipe model with varying mass and damping: A study using virtual physical framework
Flow-induced vibration (FIV) commonly occurs in rigidly coupled twin-pipe structures. However, the limited understanding of their FIV responses and hydrodynamic features presents a major challenge to the development of reliable engineering designs. To bridge this gap, the present study systematically investigates the FIV characteristics of a rigidly coupled twin-pipe model with elastic support using a virtual physical framework (VPF), which enables flexible control of structural parameters duri…

My criticism of #China #humanrights and #climate seems to rarely cause issues among the actual Chinese people I meet, both online and virtually.
Somehow, the only ones who get pissed out at me are
