not at all!

waffle @wffl.ihatereality.space · 1d

I'm afraid it's indeed about method syntax

new failure kind: if there are too many symbols in vscode terminal's scrollback, vscode starts lagging so much, it can only print ~2 symbols per second

and the blind forest?

waffle @wffl.ihatereality.space · 2d

please tell me this makes sense and I'm not going insane

waffle @wffl.ihatereality.space · 2d

are you riscv instruction for atomic memory operation "or"? because I'm in love with you~

waffle @wffl.ihatereality.space · 2d

yes. it's actually even more restrictive than that, the value to be extracted has to be aligned to its size. i.e. for i16 extraction the offset can only be 0 or 16

waffle @wffl.ihatereality.space · 2d

I love trying to come up with clever lowerings to asm.

today's treasure: given an offset of an i8 or an i16 in a 32-bit register (in bits) get the value of said i8/i16.

xori offset, offset, 24
sll value, value, offset
srai value, value, 24

(for i16 replace 24 with 16)

if you're doing a side project and someone else is doing the same, don't let this discourage you
it doesn't hurt to have alternatives, different implementations, who knows if they will go as far as you do, and in any case, you will learn a lot and have something cool to show

especially funny given how easy it is to get from one city to the other by train

waffle @wffl.ihatereality.space · 2d

I need to port more configs to homemanager though..

waffle @wffl.ihatereality.space · 2d

I just successfully installed nixos on a new laptop and... I just have basically the same environment as on my main laptop. it just works:tm:.

also the installation was basically trivial (modulo zfs setup).

waffle @wffl.ihatereality.space · 2d

nixos is magic

waffle @wffl.ihatereality.space · 2d

ooops. maybe the switch to home-manager wasn't as painless as I thought

jj config get invocations showing I accidentally swapped my name and email. I'm now named waffle.lapkin@gmail.com and my email is Waffle Lapkin.

waffle @wffl.ihatereality.space · 3d

which is to say I have something custom I guess?
