the ".ts" in the file extension stands for transsexual

me: (emits a bunch of binary data in a new format)
me: "i wonder if kaitai struct will help me parse this and figure out if it's correct [spoiler: it was not]"
me: *stare at ksy docs*
me: *stare at hexdump*
me: "you know, i think it'll be faster to read the hexdump"

@mntmn if you support AOT only this is all you need to provide: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasm-micro-runtime/blob/main/core/shared/platform/include/platform_api_vmcore.h

@mntmn you almost certainly want AOT compilation for this use case. I recommend using WAMR (https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasm-micro-runtime) which is shipped by Bytecode Alliance and explicitly aims to allow bare metal porting: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasm-micro-runtime/blob/main/doc/port_wamr.md

the reason i am excited about WebAssembly is because it's the first interesting computer architecture designed in the last 30 to 40 years (unlike e.g. RISC-V)

people who have not looked at how Wasm works usually don't get it, which makes me sad

@mntmn @pdp7 https://www.microchip.com/en-us/products/fpgas-and-plds/fpga-and-soc-design-tools/fpga/licensing

@pdp7 @mntmn too bad the FPGA is kind of terrible (23K LE, prohibitive licensing on the design suite)

do you ever encounter a vendor decision so contemptible you have to switch languages to describe it?

anyway, we were looking at HyperBus, which has memory & register address spaces, used the way you'd expect in HyperRAM; and then discovered that in HyperFLASH, those jebani dostawcy have not implemented the register space at all and it's just the old CFI PROM protocol wrapped into HyperBUS

holy shit Iris

gpib is just wired zigbee

@foone this activity is actually not directly related to sex; it does amplify that in intensity (just like it amplifies _everything_) but it is in no way inherently sexual in nature

(we're both ace, so it's not About Sex for sure.)

A girl laser is constructed at its core by aligning two mirrors at the ends of a resonant cavity. The remaining instructions are classified.

DANGER: Construction and operation of the girl laser must be performed by trained specialists. Overloading the device or its components causes material fatigue. Repeatedly exceeding material fatigue limits will result in an explosion with deadly force. Operation must be performed according to written internal procedures leaving 20% or more headroom in every phase of the duty cycle.

@foone quite literally that will be a thing (but also there's gonna be a GlasgISA adapter that is just an LPC<>ISA converter that lets you use revC with ISA)

@foone hiiiiii~

<@charlotte> Fuck C++. Worst programming language for children

(i relate so hard)

FXI And Atmel Create First microSD Gaming-Console For Mobile Phones

note: that's not a gaming console *with* a microSD card. that's a gaming console *within* a microSD card https://www.electronicdesign.com/markets/mobile/article/21758918/fxi-and-atmel-create-first-microsd-gamingconsole-for-mobile-phones

@mntmn I've attempted this before. I have all the pieces, but because I know what a nightmare it is I won't be the one who will implement it

though if you are OK subcontracting this you can probably hire the person who got LUNA to work reliably

@mntmn hahahahahahaha... *sob*

a few years ago i've avoided mastodon/fediverse because i didn't like the interactions i had here, and stayed on twitter because i thought the interactions there were fulfilling

well... these days i get the same kind of fufilling interaction on here, and on twitter i get ~nothing
