THE WAY TO BE SURE

>Haskell style

:blobcateyes:

Turns out, polling the graphics card for its load can actually increase power consumption in a laptop. Who knew?

Well, in this particular case, my laptop has Intel CPU with embedded graphics plus 3050Ti. KDE has a GPU load widget that uses nvidia-smi to poll for the load values. Except, polling also does wake up the card from sleep even when it's not used, thus adding extra 7-10W to the power bill.

Emacs support for ligatures borks monospace fonts. Notice how columns don't line up.

COMPLETELY UNUSABLE!!!

Today I'm reminded that Perl still leaks memory.

#!/usr/bin/env perl

use strict;
use warnings;

while (1) {
my %hash1 = ( a => undef );
my %hash2 = ( a => undef );

$hash1{a} = \%hash2;
$hash2{a} = \%hash1;
}
__END__

I love how Loonix people decided that you no longer need GRUB and from now on UEFI will boot Loonix kernel directly. Also, you won’t be able to change boot parameters during boot because lol they know better.

Some lad is reading through the twatter algorithm and picking it apart.

Some of you boys might find this interesting.

This is @newt@stereophonic.space

Logging off.

@jonn@social.doma.dev @roberth@functional.cafe xmpp is a joke. And not a funny one.

@scathach@stereophonic.space they seem to have fixed it in emacs 30, if you're up to building it from git.

@otfrom@functional.cafe no. This show is an abomination.

Debugging autoconf builds is hell.

And I am in it.

@jonn@social.doma.dev @roberth@functional.cafe the punchline is that in 2023 we still don’t have a messaging service that doesn’t suck donkey balls, despite internet messaging being close to 40 years old now.

@resuna@ohai.social i decided to embrace the Haskell style as pictured above from now on.
