I guess the Hackintosh era is (finally) facing its death...
Re:Performance of WebAssembly Runtimes in 2026 on Saturday September 12, 2026 @02:04PM (#49675223)
It's genuinely great to see WASM runtimes are getting closer to native code while being sandboxed, but these benchmarks assume you're not bundling a whole Runtime + GC + stdlib inside the sandbox.

you didn't read the comment, did you?

Let's hope X doesn't pressure GitHub to take the repo down.

It's actually sad to see how deeply do we depend on monopolies.

Whenever you see a lot of long dashes (—) in a writing, there's a high chance Claude has written it.

Re:GitHub down again? no PR access on Monday August 17, 2026 @01:30PM (#49334624)
The main hole is that ATProto's data model is a bit awkward for a code forge.

Issues/PRs/comments are records owned by their authors, not by the repo. So an issue can span N users' PDSes. That's a neat model for social media, but a forge wants the repo to be the durable owner/context of its issues and history because that's where the comment/issue/etc. logically belongs.

The solution? tangled.org acts as a super advanced cache/aggregator for that. What can possibly go wrong?

Re:GitHub down again? no PR access on Monday August 17, 2026 @11:42AM (#49332848)
GitHub being ruined after the AI hype is a shallow take imo. The root problem isn't AI, Microsoft, or Azure; It's why people keep _trusting_ centralized infra.

GitLab and Codeberg can absolutely become trash, each in their own way.

The solution isn't just "migrating off of GitHub"; it's "migrating to a platform that is unownable by design, not only hope".

And there are no good enough decentralized alternatives to GitHub yet.

Tangled.org's decentralization has serious holes. Radicle made an alien universe; a niche within a niche. Also, it's already having problems with ISPs: https://radicle.dev/2026/04/23/domain-move

Couldn’t agree more. Then express yourself freely. Don't let stupid grammar limit you. Otherwise it's not your blog anymore.

And that means either:

1. They overprice their APIs to make their subscriptions look reasonable

2. They burn money with their subscriptions

Re:Gooey: A GPU-accelerated UI framework for Zig on Thursday June 04, 2026 @03:22AM (#48395271)
Using an AI-generated GUI framework written in Zig (a lang with no safety guarantees despite being quite helpful to human devs) is a brave decision.
Re:Gooey: A GPU-accelerated UI framework for Zig on Thursday June 04, 2026 @03:20AM (#48395247)
Zig still lacks a proper GUI framework that you can actually rely on.
Re:Use your Nvidia GPU's VRAM as swap space on Linux on Wednesday June 03, 2026 @01:17PM (#48386801)
Nice idea, but I'm sure a ton of things can go wrong with it. It needs extensive edge case handling in order to be usable widely.
Recycling accounts are good for the environment. Why not?
