Switched from #Firefox to the Zen browser #ZenBrowser 👀

Realizing just how bad the Gnome Software app is. Memory leaks in the background to multi-GiB usage, only closes the window when you do Ctrl+Q (Ctrl+Q is supposed to stop it in the background too), randomly says that it is loading application details when you are viewing an application whose details are already onscreen (I think this has to do with checking for updates in the background), and browsing a category overloads Gnome Software instead of loading them one by one.

Sharknado was a documentary, but you refused to listen

I've posted this before, but in light of political goings-on in the USA, I'm going to re-post.

“The way to God lies through love of people. At the Last Judgment I shall not be asked whether I was successful in my ascetic exercises, nor how many bows and prostrations I made. Instead I shall be asked did I feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit the sick and the prisoners. That is all I shall be asked. About every poor, hungry and imprisoned person the Savior says 'I': 'I was hungry and thirsty, I was sick and in prison.' To think that he puts an equal sign between himself and anyone in need... I always knew it, but now it has somehow penetrated to my sinews. It fills me with awe.”

— St. Maria of Paris, who died in Auschwitz because she helped smuggle Jewish children out of Paris

[This is as close to politics as I am likely to allow myself to be on Fedi.]

I don't really spend much time on YouTube anymore. Probably for the better :)

Random #computerScience observation that is quite useful sometimes: X - Y < 0 is the same as X < Y.
Not sure if something wonky could happen with overflow to prevent that from being true, though

#Golang isn't letting me type in constants that are supposed to be "negative", and it's getting really annoying. I'll type in 0x8000000F (in this case) for an int32, and it is like MaN tHis is JUst tOo LarGe and I'm like :|

Working on a novel (hopefully!) floating-point format for my custom CPU #ISA . It doesn't have any floating point operations -- as a matter of fact, it only has 16 operations ("instructions") -- but I'm working on a floating-point format optimized for software emulation on it.
That said, I already have in my stdlib macros for fixed-point #math (Q16.8 format), as well as a sine function and sqrt function.

Lemmy: a missed opportunity to call a Fedi reddit Feddit.
