Lol anyone can post 50 pictures and post it, most are not of UIs. Maybe aim higher and ask more of people.

Indeed, I am an outgroup member. look at me the dumbfuck. Now how does one become an ingroup member, by learning.

I am an active contributer to MLIR, if you knew my name and you weren't some weirdo, you could know me. This is a pseudonym account of which I have several, since I grew up in an age where you hid your identity. Now how XLA interacts with that I have no clue dude. Maybe help with that and don't be a low effort dick.

I don't doubt it, and that super isn't what people want here.

Ask HN: Do Something about Bots

Super low effort tumbler posted allegedly about Anime UI, had hardly any actual pictures, most were not relevant. Lots of bot comments. Plugs for a graphics tablet. Come on man, this place used to not be shit. I have new account and ate a ton of bot downvotes.

dude investigate yourself, some bro is selling graphics tablets in the comments, if you are alive and seeing this, you a punk.

Re:Anime User Interfaces on Saturday August 01, 2026 @11:07PM (#49140681)
I am now 80% sure this is a submarine ad for a graphics tablet or HN is letting shit get wild and bot controlled.
Re:Anime User Interfaces on Saturday August 01, 2026 @11:06PM (#49140677)
Is this just an Ad for a tablet?

Bro, what article? tell me. This is a low effort tumbler page, if you live and you defend this, live better.
Re:Anime User Interfaces on Saturday August 01, 2026 @11:04PM (#49140661)
bro, you are upvoting 60ish low effort pictures. Investigate your life, if you live. There are greener pastures.

I can't tell what you mean by this comment. Is XLA good? is XLA bad, cuz it doesn't use MLIR? Speak loud, for we are hard of hearing.
Re:Why Is Europe Burning? on Saturday August 01, 2026 @10:51PM (#49140604)
Indeed buddy, what is the point? the GP noted the corruption, you also have issue with corruption. The current admin(in the US) thinks corruption is legal.So why split hairs?
I thought maybe this was hyperbolic, but it is pretty accurate, whoever/whatever wrote that doesn't understand much.

Are there? there is one evangelion one, almost no actual classics. I have no idea who is liking this, or why.

> That is not how TFA uses more generally 'User Interfaces',

What article? are you an AI or in crazy town, that is a tumbler page full of images, not even very many. See my sibling comment, some are not UI just images of flashing screen lights on dudes, this is not curated it is slop.

Re:Anime User Interfaces on Saturday August 01, 2026 @10:18PM (#49140458)
There is one with a screen flashing on some dudes, I waited 15 secs. No UI https://64.media.tumblr.com/e9ddbc48b17353046fa5ac73cfc289ef...

and more, come on man

Re:Anime User Interfaces on Saturday August 01, 2026 @07:47PM (#49139729)
It is maybe 60 pictures, and a decent chunk of them have absolutely no focus on UI.
Re:The Art of 64-bit Assembly on Saturday August 01, 2026 @07:42PM (#49139690)
> if you want to learn about ASM in TYOOL 2026 then you could do a lot worse than learning it from someone who doesn't trust compilers and does everything themselves.

Not bad advice, but the Fasm forums used to be pretty good for asking questions, no clue if they are around and active still, but there were a lot of programs people had written and even a few simple OSs(including KolibriOS) which had a ton of code to read through that mostly was commented. Once you get the basics it is pretty easy to do stuff, and most of learning is doing stuff.

Re:The Art of 64-bit Assembly on Saturday August 01, 2026 @07:39PM (#49139676)
His earlier 32bit book was pretty decent, but super windows focused, I wish a similar work using a reasonable syntax existed for Linux, but the linux equivalent(some kind of foundations of programming or something similar assembly book) used gas syntax which is like nails on a chalkboard. Fasm is also so much nicer these days to use(masm is neglected by microsoft, but is the tool the author has used for everything).
Re:Structure Editors on Saturday August 01, 2026 @06:39PM (#49139223)
I have tried an editor that worked on ASTs only, and it was super unergonomic, like select a node type, then fill in values, but writing the code was way faster than the interface. Even writing LISP which I find hard is easier than using that AST editor. like (+ 1 2) is faster than right click add node add op add literal add literal
Re:NetBSD 11.0 on Saturday August 01, 2026 @06:34PM (#49139179)
Ages ago I know someone did the work to get wine running on a then modern NetBSD, has that effort been kept up, and can it run reasonable programs? Ideally someone has tried it with some success, I am hoping to try running NetBSD on an old thinkpad, but I need some software for a SDR dongle that was only written for Windows, and works great under Wine on linux.
Re:Study uncovers lost 'golden age' of languages on Saturday August 01, 2026 @12:02PM (#49135557)
If there are 80 speaker/readers, how could a language get popular again? By interested readers of a translation?
> like that overengineered bloatware regex

I don't know what that would mean in this context. Did you mean the js stdlib regex implementation? Any help?

> political currents don’t have to move in one direction. It’s not inevitable that endangered languages become extinct.

There really isn't any good incentive to learn a language with very few speakers, since unless you already know a speaker, you really can't practice the real language. People were a few years ago at least hoping llms could help preserve the languages, but more most of them, there just aren't enough samples for any real preservation. I knew some dudes in college that were linguists that worked on recording native speakers of endangered languages, and while I hoped they would succeed, I never really had much hope of it working.

It is nice that it seems doable for ~$200 USD, but the results aren't super encouraging, anyone know of a setup to get better results in a backyard setting?

> point at betterC which remains half-assed for about a decade now (search my blog archives, here's one with them talking about "A betterC standard library" from December 2016 - https://arsdnet.net/this-week-in-d/2016-dec-18.html - and none of that has materialized ).

Oof, yeah that is definitely a pain point. Not to get too personal, but why would you continue to invest so much time in the language if upstream isn't accommodating?

Has WalterBright had any comments on this? He usually is so vocal, any hope of a remerge of the OpenD changes in to CanonD?

Anyway, I appreciate you trying to advance Dlang, I fight for it all the time at work, and usually get to do stuff in it(I am old and have privileges).

> I would classify D's scope exit/failure/success as RAII actually, even if D uses a GC.

It has better than that, but it is a bit clunky compared with C++(just use struct instead of class). You can have proper destructors, but if you have a container you need to be more careful than in C++.

In D exceptions are the default like in C++ and you have to opt out with nothrow or extern(C) or betterC.

Really try some D code in a bigger situation it is 90% good and almost worth using over C++, but if you can't have GC it is a huge pain, but better than C.

Re:Internet is no longer accessible? on Monday July 27, 2026 @10:28PM (#49078516)
It is part of what seems like a loosely coordinated effort to get verified platforms to be standard. Like device attestation so we can be more easily surveilled.

One odd thing with cloudflare is most sites are fine, and I click the box, but for some reason I go to some sites and they claim I have been blocked for bot like activity, which seems weird since it should be the same filter from the same provider.
