Some people just avoid the heap all together in programming. I mean for embedded systems I guess it's understandable, limited resources and all. But in a normal environment? Eh.
@kirby in embedded its done because managing the heap is itself a nondeterministic process. since firmware tends to have a defined scope, we can just preallocate all the memory for that job, and say fuck it.
for big pc platforms.. idk. i like to avoid reference types (heap) unless i just can't get around it. linear arena allocation that wipes the arena between jobs basically can't leak memory and memory checkin/out is extremely fast.
actually trying out qutebrowser, it's been on my mind for several months now but i guess nows a good time to try it. most people are joining mob mentality and blindly bashing on it so why not join them!?!?!?!?!?
@kirby i know it's so brave and stunning. U can also look upshadyhrt dealers, and descertation agruments for sending trump to the pernis explosion chamber
@tyler@kirby@Dan_Hulson@graf how do you like running your own p2pool node? I want to get back into mining monero but I don't know if I have the requisite power to self-host it
@theorytoe@icedquinn using python sqlite3 for now. that will work fine with ?s and all that so i dont really have to do any manual sanitization, i guess?
@hazlin@kirby@sysrq so then I type any design documents out (keyboard), consult documentation, CS reference material, etc (browser -> tiling WM -> keyboard), debug when things break (keyboard), etc

so I says to the carpenter I says "that is one high quality saw you've got there. clearly you care about the tools you use, thus I can conclude that you are likely bad at your trade" :blobcatgoogly:
not to be confused with a person who knows little to nothing about carpentry opining about the poor quality of someone else's tools (naturally said someone else will have experienced no noteworthy issues with them)
... yet I just typed the above on the shitty integrated chiclet keyboard on a low-ish end laptop. make of that what you will :nepuwah:
Forgive my ignorance, but how would a steno keyboard output anything other than alphabetical characters? Where are the Mod or Function keys? Home key? Arrow keys? 10 key? Etc.
