As someone that works writing firmware for SAS devices… it’s happened all too many times

I started with C++ too, and then ended up finding a job writing firmware pretty much all in C. There really hasn’t been anything we’ve run into that’s made us consider switching to C++; being able to (and needing to) have complete control over your memory means you can do some pretty fancy stuff with the tiny amounts of memory on our ASICs.

We’ve been eyeballing switching to rust a little bit, but really only for other applications; the root of our main code base is over 25 years old at this point and a rewrite would take a Herculean effort.

Meh? I write pretty much exclusively in C and honestly I still like C++ better, and wouldn’t mind switching to Rust either

True, he is sitting at a terminal - but it appears to be connected to an IBM 5150 or similar. So maybe not so dumb!

Looking at the rest of things more carefully - very likely a 5150, if not definitely. Iconic and hugely popular PC for its era, so it would make sense for sure.

Omg snap circuits were the BEST. Helped me learn so much as a kid

“We set a goal and then proceeded to do absolutely nothing fundamentally to actually stay within that goal, and now we’re absolutely shocked that we’ve smashed past our boundaries and are destroying our planet”

Gotta love the mega-corps. We’re fucked, lmao

Yeah… I realized that after I typed out my comment. Especially w/ F1 and all

Red Bull should stick to energy drinks…

Amazing, factorio is the greatest

Not sure because I use TestFlight but I believe it’s because they pushed a huge app update today. They pushed it for TestFlight a week or two back and it logged me out then as well.

At the very least I’d like an option to hide downvotes if possible - my instance disables them so it’s always just looking at a zero. Maybe there’s some way to do that automatically?

Ahh, that makes sense

Out of curiosity, why turn off landscape mode? I don’t usually use it but sometimes it is useful

I imagine that having that space there is probably bad for older iPhones but might actually be good to keep for newer iPhones (the ones without a home button), so the little white bar on the bottom of the screen doesn’t get in the way of the menu.

Love what you’ve done with the app! Amazing work - it’s super cool to see how fast this has come almost out of the blue. Out of curiosity - with the changes to the image viewer, do you anticipate to support long pressing to open the options menu, in addition to tapping on the icon at the bottom right?

I use uints every day at work. They’re very useful for cases when you’ve only got a single byte or two bytes to work with. E.g. an 8-bit int will only get you to a max of 127, but of course an unsigned 8-bit gets you to 255. Similar concept with 16/32/64s. Very useful when you’re working with small amounts of available memory, such as when writing code to go on ASICs.

I can’t believe Redbox still even exists at this point… let alone >3000 of the things.

Seconded. Was a hugely useful feature!
