Intel&#39;s endianness comes from the Datapoint 2200, which was bit serial, and the carry circuitry is simpler if you do things little-endian.<br/><br/>Honestly, I think the real answer is that big endian is easier to diagram if you come from a culture with a left-to-right writing system and a habit of putting zero on the left on graph axis.<br/><br/>(I like little endian systems) 2025-07-23T02:39:46Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8hzr0s4wc8wdluvqeyqlyhrt405a3w42e5jp0f4hxl66z94m45mczyqdvusvrqgaaeda45hxav67yvmsn9ep54k6ezukvlwzxvsnkp64cce5dejv ... I got my compositor to run on #NetBSD. I fixed the kernel panic I was running into by deciding the change I had made to ioctl permissions constituted putting beans in my nose.<br/><br/>I then went back and added a GET_PCIINFO ioctl like what OpenBSD and DragonflyBSD use (but slightly different) and modded libdrm to match.<br/><br/>And it worked. It even let me fire up a terminal emulator window, which is further than I got last time. I&#39;m going to clean up patches and hop on tech-kern later (but soon). 2025-01-27T07:48:51Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs2tkaek9c88uuw0q4c35p2pmrhryrrckq04ky6fw30tpe2fyqxyyszyqdvusvrqgaaeda45hxav67yvmsn9ep54k6ezukvlwzxvsnkp64ccpxryfv There has been an escalation in the theme arms race at #buttonterrible by team Follow Dear Leader. #24hoursoflemons #weirdcarmastodon<br/> <img src="https://files.bitbang.social/media_attachments/files/113/212/523/596/624/206/original/4839b0a7c8110516.jpeg"> <br/> 2024-09-28T01:16:37Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs0zlk4c757ypanvpe0ywsyj5wujt8v755wzfsj38paa2y6vrtxp9qzyqdvusvrqgaaeda45hxav67yvmsn9ep54k6ezukvlwzxvsnkp64ccenpwfk I used &#34;crowdstrike&#34; as a verb at work today, to paraphrase: &#34;CI is broken because github crowdstruck us with a bad rust compiler update&#34;.

I wrote my own Wayland terminal emulator to go with my compositor, and it has similar properties with regard to memory footprint and dependencies (it uses EGL directly instead of a toolkit, and has no extra dependencies). However, it implements only the barest minimum to display to the screen. No scrollback buffer or anything. Instead, I run tmux in it, and that gets the daemon process and multiple sessions features. 2024-04-07T05:11:46Z
