“The only difference between science and [messing] around is writing stuff down”

… What?

Or (insert MMO of choice)

My low level is a tad rusty from when I learned the C side in school, but if I recall the not operator resolves as a single Boolean (0 or 1 in true C), whereas compliment comes back as however many bits you put in - a not operation per bit.

In C, the not operator is ! and the compliment operator is ~

Only if you’re using a sign bit rather than two’s compliment (a sign bit allows for two representations of 0)

“broken build” here likely refers to the phrase as defined by gamers to function as synonymous to “overpowered”.

As in, “the build is so broken you can’t/it is difficult to play against it”. This phraseology could be used by either an ally or an enemy, but it contextually changes connotation from positive for allies to negative for enemies.

Build is often used as a shorthand for a character’s combination of items, skills, and levels (as the various games define it).

Maybe we should build a warp drive to go meet it.

No we’re not OK

I remember in grade school my district had a system where everyone who bought anything at the cafeteria went through an internal “type in your ID to the pin pad” system. Internally, the computer would decide whether the student was charged against their account or if it did a discount/free. This was how they dealt with that.

I work on an open source project in my free time. Officially we support Linux, Windows, and macOS.

I had to change ~2 lines of code to port the Linux/Mac code path to FreeBSD. Windows has a completely different code path for that critical segment because it’s so different compared to the three Unix/Unix-like.

This is a very specific example from a server side code that leaves out a lot of details. One being that we wrote our project with the intent that it would be multi platform by design. Game software is wildly complicated compared to what we do. The point here is that it should be easier to port Unix to Unix-like compared to Unix to Windows.

Somewhat halfway between practical use and just messing around for fun.

Several years ago I built a GPS NTP clock out of an RPi3 and an Adafruit GPS hat. Once I had the PPS driver installed, it’s precision/drift got pretty good. According to its own self measurements, I got pretty dang close to NIST stratum 1 NTP servers, but those are hundreds of miles away so that measurement isn’t super precise. It’s still running today, clocking nearly 24/7 operation since (checks shopping history) 2017, though I replaced the breadboard and mini module with a full sized hat with the same chipset in 2021.

Recently I acquired a proper hardware GPS clock and I stacked the two against each other and found out my RPi did not half bad and can get between 0.5-10ms of the professionals (literally I’m pretty sure I’d need more precise measuring equipment to tell the difference between the two at this point than a regular computer). Now my homelab has fully redundant internet-disconneted stratum 1 time. Been half considering if I could write a GPSD driver for it as a joke, but I know upstream won’t accept it because it doesn’t offer SOOO many features they’d need.

As for what else - I just kind of keep an eye out for projects related to GPS and high precision time, like the open source atomic PCI card that was released a few years ago. Finding out what people are doing to get better and better time is just downright interesting.

Outside of the time world, it’s just fun to see what projects people come up with relating to maps and navigation. Stretch goal once I have enough server horsepower is to make a render-capable Open Street Map server with my home region loaded to start with, but eventually I’d like to get it to the point where I can load and process world.osm. That… Requires a LOT of CPU and SSD space.

Heyo, just wanted to say I appreciate the edit.

Some people see three extra clicks (which is what it took on mobile to get the real description out of GitHub) as a limiter. I actually clicked because I had guessed that with a name like “navidrome” it was something GNSS related, was surprised to see it was about music.

I’ve been self hosting for going on 7-8y, following various communities on reddit and Lemmy and I learn about new softwares every day. I’ll have to toss this one on my investigation queue.

Voyager PWA, but I think see what it did now.

It’s processing as markdown, and ignoring the first tilde strike marker since it’s sandwiched next to the URL brackets. So the only valid strike through is in different spots than you intended. Superscript/subscript I think is being processed correctly because it’s small.

Edit: I just noticed the other guy has the same app, so that would do it.

Edit2: I think I need to mentally review how markdown works there are wires crossed in my brain
