So, I have assembly running on the devkit on both arm64 cores.
But I can't run C until I can compile C, and have a C runtime library.
Attempts to build newlib from scratch as a standalone library ended poorly (I got a makefile that did nothing, apparently other people have hit this and I never got a straight answer as to how one builds a naked cross-newlib, not as part of a compiler).
So now I'm trying to build a full aarch64-none-elf toolchain. Wish me luck.

Hmm, czy jeszcze o czymś ważnym zapomniałem przy pre commit hooku (z lefthook) dla projektu w #elixir?

Mam na razie gitleak, compile, test, credo i dialyzer

Teraz czas na CI/CD. Tak - wolę na samym początku projektu przygotować sobie "bazę" automatyzacji, bo jest ona po to, żeby przyspieszyć pracę w przyszłości.

O niebo łatwiej się testuje i deployuje aplikacje,…

Sonnet 078 - LXXVIII
So oft have I invoked thee for my Muse,
And found such fair assistance in my verse
As every alien pen hath got my use
And under thee their poesy disperse.
Thine eyes, that taught the dumb on high to sing
And heavy ignorance aloft to fly,
Have added feathers to the learned's wing
And given grace a double majesty.
Yet be most proud of that which I compile,
Whose influence is thine, and born of thee:

Changing the name to mangowm almost kept me from using it. Looking forward to a geek-out with maomao (the original name) today. From what I read it can combine tiling and scrolling. A short compile on Slackware was a piece of cake; advantage of the kitchensink is that all prerequisites are already installed.

Dear Debian,
Um… yeah, so… about me leaving… I, uh… can explain, actually, no, I can’t! It’s not you, it’s apt-get, I swear. Let’s just say some flatpaks looked at me funny and, well, one thing led to another. Please don’t make me compile my own kernel as punishment.
Sincerely,

Microsoft "project compiler", the thing that creates recipes and manages compile dependies, is so bad that everyone still using visual studio (read: game developers) all write their own.
See unreal engine aweful compilation setup as an example.

Yeah, why not neglect all the good recommendations in the #Python ecosystem, and instead fork your own C extension package, force people to build it with #ZigLang (it's still C), add unconditional dependency on that, and on top of that, refuse to publish wheels, "allowing for optimised compilation according to your machine's specific architecture and capabilities, instead of some (low performance) common denominator."
Fortunately, looks like #Gentoo can just ignore all the fancy crap and compile it with GCC.

Exploring Neural Amp Modeler
Neural Amp Modeler is based on neural net technology that analyzes a sound and produces a file to reproduce it. The technology is open source, so people can use it to capture amplifier tones and then play instruments through them. There are fancy plugins for Windows and Mac OS, but because I am running Linux Mint, I had to download the file from GitHub and compile it on my machine.

When you turn to dwm (as opposed to KDE, for a shorter compile) and forget Ghostty requires Zig 😜🤪
#gentoo

Upgraded the microscope bench workstation to Debian Trixie earlier today and the driver for my Quadro K5200 finally stopped working (end of support, doesn't compile on the Trixie kernel. no newer driver available).
I guess it's time to turn it into microscope food. 2012 to 2025 is a pretty good run for a GPU, right?

Either KDE fixes the problems with their Wayland session (faulty font rendering with fractional scaling, no ability to remap touchpad gestures that are literally baked in at compile time, and so on) or I'll be shopping for a new desktop environment once they drop X11 in 2027. I'll not be railroaded into accepting a dogshit user experience because somebody wants to dunk on the chuds. Plasma isn't that special!

Wishing C had the ability to do compile-time polymorphism.
Like, I have base class Foo with Bar/Baz derived from it.
I want to be able to put a method DoSomething() in Foo and call it on a Bar or Baz object in a template, without putting a vtable in Foo or incurring the overhead of a virtual method call.
You can sort of get this effect by having Bar/Baz be separate classes with no common base and make the template just call T.Foo() for parameter T, but this eliminates som…

I'm building webkit-gtk right now. It's one of these messy packages where a few source files need a lot of memory to compile, and ninja can randomly order jobs so that all of them suddenly start compiling simultaneously. So to keep things going smoothly without OOM-ing, I've been dynamically adjusting the available job count via steve the #jobserver.
While doing that, I've noticed that ninja isn't taking new jobs immediately after I increased the job count. So I've started debugging steve, and couldn't find out anything wrong with it. Finally, I've looked into ninja and realized how lazy their code is.
So, there are two main approaches to acquiring job tokens. Either you do blocking reads, and therefore wait for a token to become available, or you use polling to get noticed when it becomes available. Ninja instead does non-blocking reads, and if there are no more tokens available… it waits till one of its own jobs finish.
This roughly means that as other processes release tokens, ninja won't take them until one of its own jobs finish. And if ninja didn't manage to acquire any job tokens to begin with, it is just running a single process via implicit slot, and that process finishing provides it with the only chance to acquire additional tokens. So realistically speaking, as long as there are other build jobs running in parallel, ninja is going to need to be incredibly lucky to ever get a job token, since all other processes will grab the available tokens immediately.
This isn't something that steve can fix.
#Gentoo #NinjaBuild

Just noticed there's a Slackware Cosmic iso available ( previously it was the packages, add the repo etc). Also saw the patch for Mangowc on FreeBSD being committed. Or I'll compile it myself 🤔 Then it can be added to my Slackware Tilers box. Leaving the NUC for that Cosmic thing. Coffee ☕ first.
#mangowc

Even the backup Slackware iso-stick has moved. It's now loaded with the nwg iso and might come in handy soon. As a new installer that is. Gentoo has Mango in Guru. If i need to compile Mango manually I prefer Slackware over FreeBSD. And a triumvirate of Slackware, Gentoo and VoidLinux sounds very appropriate to me.
