  1. Most important message to be conveyed here, never trust user input. Always check it, always restrict what you do with it.

  2. These "paraodies" are both funny and scary. I too wish that we could make 1984 fiction again.

  3. Bleeding edge is cutting yourself on the sharp edge of the case as you're assembling the computer. Then you'll understand what they mean when they say they put their blood, sweat and tears into building it.

  4. I completely agree, keep the old kernel around just in case. While I rarely update and will delete old kernels after a few years, I'll keep the immediately previous one until at least the next update. Also, you'd have to keep a lot to get to 1GB because even the huge variants I'm using top out at 11mb. We're talking about 100 kernels for me to get to a gig.

  5. It would also be helpful to demonstrate how to write test cases and how best to separate into multiple modules. Also, you should check the number only once when read in from the user as well as stop using magic numbers. Might also want to demonstrate using `gdb` even if your program isn't crashing.

  6. This makes me sad. Gnubuntu would've been the perfect name for such a distro. The logo could've been an open hand coming to slap you in the face.
    27
  7. Seems like a lot of people don't understand that stable and unstable have more than one definition. Stable, in the sense of an operating system distribution, means the packages don't change, except for major bug and security patches. Unstable, in the same sense, means the packages change somewhat more frequently, like for minor changes as well as the major changes.

  8. To really make it effective, have it give a warning shot, then wait say 5 seconds and if you don't focus, shoot again. Maybe two in rapid succession then wait some more and keep upping the ante until either you focus and it resets or you refuse and it unloads. Also, can you imagine having to write that code from scratch? The toolkits we have now are kind of amazing.
    20
  9. I'm curious whether there are any fundamental differences between their designs and ours. How did they solve all of the various problems they encountered? Are their designs RISC or CISC and do they include instructions in their CPU's that we don't and vice versa?
    19
  10. This is pretty cool, though if you wanted to make it easier to follow I'd do it outline instead and get syntax highlighting. I prefer nasm syntax over gas Intel, but at least you didn't do it with AT&T syntax. That would've been the worst.

  11. I think I'm going to have to make a hot pink and neon blue theme just for you. I'll call it "The Brodie".
    17
  12. If I ever make my own distribution, I'm going to fork the kernel just to call it Ligma and the userland portion will be called Johnson.
    17
  13.  @graealex  Just imagine the possibilities. As a programmer, I don't generally like RISC over CISC, especially if I have to do anything in assembly, but with an open architecture, and one that is already capable of running a full desktop O/S, I'm excited. I think at this point, the next step should be figuring out how to manufacture at cheaper facilities and for a cheaper price. Yeah, even above optimization. There are videos of people making their own IC's in home labs. I'm hoping the next step is full chips, albeit simple ones, and eventually home chip printers like we have 3D printers now. The future I envisioned as a kid is coming true in my lifetime, and I like it.

  14. I wouldn't say it was missed, but rather everyone who noticed it never bothered to write a paper on it. It's all part of the beautiful symmetry of mathematics in nature.
    15
  15. You're so right about crazy US shipping. Every external spinning disk hard drive I've had over the years has failed on me relatively quickly. Made backing up a massive pain, but I decided to order two SSD's instead this past time, 4tb each and they arrived the next day. Put them in an external enclosure, so I can swap them to internal if I feel like it later, and USB3 is one of those very nice to have features on a computer. It took less than an hour to back up my whole /home which is a 1tb drive. Makes me feel so much better now having a decent backup solution. Hopefully now I won't have to start from too far back if the internal drive fails because I've got a lot of projects going.
    14
  16. You should be using sizeof() instead of hard coding magic numbers. Magic numbers make it even more of a PITA when you need to send different types. Ideally you should also be abstracting that somewhat with macros.
    14
  17. Part of what I really love about these projects that you keep doing is that you don't need a 3D printer to follow along. So many people these days will just say "and here's the model files to print off" or something along those lines, but you keep proving that sheet stock is faster and easier.
    12
  18. If JavaScript weren't such an awful language none of those packages would be useful. That said, he should've combined many of these into a few packages. And TypeScript isn't the solution because it just compiles to JavaScript anyway. What we need is to replace shit web technology with something better.
    11
  19. You manage to find the weirdest stories. Nice haircut, by the way.
    10
  20. Can confirm, developers love to argue. Whether they're right or not. Although in my case, obviously, I always am. ;P

  21. My thoughts, this is great and I hope it catches on. This kind of movement is a looooong time coming. I very much hope they succeed and if they need developers to help just point me in the right direction. I suspect that this is partly motivated by MS's recent moves with W11 and I hope that awful OS just dies. After all, if you're going to move to a new OS you want all your hardware to work, so if this does catch on, we may finally get the year of the Linux desktop.

  22. As long as the project maintainers are acting in good faith, then this is a definite positive move. Most open source projects do act in good faith, at least the majority do that I've seen. But as we all know, it'll be those rare breeds that try to ruin everything by preventing CVE's from being issued for valid problems. Let's hope such people are very few and very far between.

  23. Now you just need to make some vacuum tubes and silicon transistors and you'll be set to really do low level learning.

  24. More methods to transfer files are great, especially if they're easier. I've got a samba share setup, NFS and I rather enjoy using sshfs to mount a remote folder locally as well because it's only sort of visible to certain things. This sounds like it'll be fun too. Now as to the zebra like thing, that's the stuff of nightmares, rm -f it quick.

  25. I feel conflicted on this one. On the one hand, I haven't seen a truly private cryptocurrency, although I'm told with no real proof that Monero is, and mostly this just seems like "mining digital resources" because none of it has a truly physical form. On the other, if someone can come up with a truly private cryptocurrency and people can use it in whatever way they see fit, I would want it to succeed. Either way, this is one of the reasons why I don't use GitHub or GitLab or any public host. If the host deems your project to be bad you have to scramble to rehost, even if you have weeks of notice. All that said, NFT's are definitely a scam. Buying an entry on a block chain which just has the text that is a URL to something that you don't own is really stupid.

  28.  @uis246  Yeah, his rants are the best. Some people rant and it's completely inane, but not his, he keeps it on point and chock full of information.

  29. That really makes me feel old.

  30. This is a good tutorial, definitely one to save. I may setup a NAS this way when I finally move into the new house.

  31. Since the time I started with Linux the recommendation has always been to setup a separate partition, and being rather old school I've always complied. I've only got 12gb of RAM, though I wanted a more rounded number, so I setup a 32gb swap partition. I think the most I ever saw it get used was 6gb, but that was fairly heavy use with about 20 browser windows, each with about 10 tabs apiece and a media player in the background with some music going, and obviously about 20 terminal windows across 5 desktops, plus an emulator. Usual day to day usage is maybe 5 browser windows at 20 to 30 tabs total and 8 terminals, and even then it's usually not more than 2gb of swap used. If that constitutes a profile in which I've severely over-allocated my swap space, I'd still do it just the same. I've got the disk space and I've never felt it get sluggish. Even on the old computer, when I had 256mb of RAM and a 1gb swap partition, Slackware still felt snappy.

  32. Maybe I wasn't paying attention as well as I should have been, but what opinion did he state and why do you think it's bad?
    5
  33. It's true, I've been using vim for over 20 years, still can't exit. Though, if grep isn't enough for your searching needs, locate and find can fill in the gaps. You just have to know regular expressions and understand the quirks of the tools.

  34. The best feature is being able to pin Solitaire to the shelf. Just need Freecell and Spider to add to that list.

  35. Neat, and now I know your Wi-Fi password, it's a gray box! Mwuhaha!

  37. I'm still hoping for the Pi5. My unfulfillable fantasy: 8 core, 3ghz CPU, 1.5ghz GPU; 16gb RAM; Wi-Fi, BT, 1Gb or higher ethernet; 2 USB2-A, 2 USB3-A, 2 USB3-C (one with PD capabilities to power the board) and complete with a 6A PSU; a 4x PCI-E socket with no backend so it could fit 16x cards; an M.2 NVME socket; 2 full-size HDMI ports; finally an open BIOS. If they meet those specs, even if the form factor changed yet again, I'd hope they'd aim for no more than $150. Although, I wouldn't be opposed to the idea of them having two Pi5's where one is just enough to turn into a mini-desktop PC and the other is only an incremental upgrade to have a lower price bracket for students and hobbyists.

  38. I always use spaces around pipe characters so I can just do `awk '{ print $2; }'. I just checked and my top three are `cd`, `lrt` and `exit`. With `lrt` being my shell function to acquire a list of reverse time sorted files and display only the N most recent, where the default N is 10. Of course I also have bare `ls` and my alias of `ll` in that list too which edges out `cd` even if you add in number 18 on the list, the alias `..`. Since it counts aliases, `cls` is in the top 20 as well. I guess I don't use `...` or `....` or `.....` as much as `..`, but those are handy aliases to have for changing down multiple directories. Of course it's been a slow week, so make and gcc didn't even make the top 20, although I did find `...` when I expanded to 50.
    3
  39. Dang Brodie, that hair grows fast. As for the LURE, I like the idea. I feel like it's a practical solution. As for my own impractical idea on how to go about making a more portable package format would be to come up with a base target platform, like LFS before customizing it, and building packages against that. Come up with a target install folder and then anyone that uses it could have it beside their own system or distros could be based off of it. Like I said, my idea is impractical, but I can dream.

  40. You've just reminded me that I need to write a man page... for literally every program I've written. Oops.

  41. Cool. One suggestion for the future, instead of having it display or transmit its IP do a video on how to determine the MAC address for a device and setup your router to give a device a static IP. Super easy to do solution for home servers.
    3
  42. I think this goes to show you that the software needs to catch up to the hardware. My 533mhz Celery running Win98 could boot faster than that, and it only had 256mb of RAM as well. Even though I firmly believe CISC is a better choice, I'm definitely going to get one of these so I can look into porting my compiler to it and see if the design is good enough to adapt to other hardware architectures.

  43. This looks like it'd be a good idea for anyone setting up an emulation computer in their living room.

  45.  @TimoNoko  But what do you do when lightning strikes your house and takes out that one drive?

  46. There were videos in 1998. They were probably about as high quality as a .gif, but they existed. I think I watched all three of them.

  47. They were fixed in September, but truthfully, they should never have existed in the first place because everyone should check such bounds by default anyway.

  48. That is a wonderful idea for a prank. I'm thinking April 1st would be a good day to try it. Only question is, how do we get it onto Stallman's computer.
    2
  49. Have you been watching Matt at DIY Perks, because this is right up his alley. He hates fan and really any noise from computers. I'd like to try building one of those WeeCee's, though that's just for running old DOS and Win98 games, would still be fun.
    2
  50. This is definitely a concern when I get my next computer or two. I don't know if I really want to build a gaming PC, but if I do I should get a Nuc so I can watch YT and whatnot without eating too much juice. The Pi4 that I have just isn't cutting it for most tasks, and I definitely want to play some light games. I kind of wish our outlets here had a switch to turn off and on each individual outlet. I just don't like the plugs you guys use. Even our plugs with a grounding wire are less chunky.
    2
  51. Not only useful, but gives me some ideas for using an old computer like a Pi with much fewer pins.
    2
  52. Personally, I feel like if you're going to use a higher level language on a board like this, it should be BASIC. Python has always felt like a wrong choice to me, regardless of usage. I really like that sneaky inclusion of the definition of the BASIC acronym, as well as your usual humor.
    2
  53. I doubt anyone will see this, but recursion is always unnecessary and should never be used. People keep bringing up tail recursion but not every algorithm can be written that way and if it can, it's just as easy to write and understand as simple iteration. If the iterative and recursive solutions are written correctly and they indeed yield the same result, the iterative solution will never crash due to any internal influences while it's possible that the recursive solution will, regardless of embedded system or desktop computer. This is because the stack is still limited in size even on desktops. If a developer can't translate a recursive algorithm into an iterative implementation, then they likely aren't very good anyway. One of the examples I keep seeing is for Fibonacci numbers, but I think the better example would be Quick Sort. If you've ever implemented one the correct way, you'll understand what I'm talking about, and even if you haven't, you might understand it should you read any C standard library implementation of it. You can have a simple solution that generally works, or a correct one, and you can have a complicated iterative implementation or a complex one. In the end, it's down to the programmer's skill.
    2
  54. I really appreciate when these programs have a binary file with which I can just download and go. Sure, I could compile from source, and often have to because most things aren't in my distro's repositories, but I still rather appreciate it when someone else builds it for me. Although, I must say that Davinci Resolve is friggin' huge at over 3GB to download. Maybe my inner child is just pounding at the walls unnecessarily because I've got multiple terabytes of storage, but it concerns me a little.

  55. More programmers need to learn how to properly handle concurrency. I see far too many bugs in code all over the place when it comes to concurrency.
    2
  56. I can agree with most of what he's saying. However, what he says about needing to be an expert in everything to give your opinion on things these days, I think that depends on how much you care about learning. Some things are relatively easy to learn about and render the learner capable of giving an informed opinion. Consider a nation that's a tiny island in a sea of enemies that hate them and constantly attack them, and consider that said nation has a very powerful ally who keeps supplying them and allowing them to win the wars that others start by attacking them, and after each conflict is won they annex territory from the aggressor. Consider also that this nation is written in ancient texts as having once existed there and having been wiped out and its people scattered to the winds they came back and bought property to live on from the nation that was in control of that land. It's not exactly a complex history and it's not hard to come to a conclusion that not only should this nation be allowed to exist, but that they should be allowed to exercise that fundamental right that all sentient beings possess to defend themselves. Anyone that comes down on the opposite side of that given the truth of their situation and how they came to be there, they would be wrong. The major problem as I see it is that one side keeps spreading propaganda about that nation and wants to systematically wipe them out. Anyhow, that's just my $0.02 and I am doubtful that it will be anything more than ignored as per usual.

  57. Does it read how you have `ls` configured to yield the listing? Because I've got `ls` setup to use an ISO-ish date format, 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS'.
    2
  58. This is great, my mom has a Surface and if Windows ever stops working I might get her to switch. For the next test I'd love to see you install LFS on to it. It'd be a lot of work, but maybe a collab with Jeff Geerling would be in order.
    2
  59. I didn't know they made any proper ARM desktop boards now, and I have been wanting to test out my code generator on something better than a Pi, so this might be a good idea for me to buy one. Although, I would use Slackware because I've been itching to try out the ARM build they have.
    2
  60. This pretty much matches my expectations. Choosing one architecture type over the other really depends on how impatient you are. RISC-based architectures are generally slower and partly because they use less power. In a lot of these graphics capabilities tests, more cores is an advantage, but clearly a faster chip will overpower that advantage as shown here. So it'd be nice to see a test with an older x86 chip that more closely matches the speed and core count of the RK3588 and see how that changes the result. However, given the low requirements of startup processes, the higher core count gives an advantage here. Although, once optimizations have caught up, maybe RISC-based architectures will beat x86, and that would be interesting.

  61. I hope this was a joke, because it made me laugh.
    2
  62. Those animations are beautiful. I especially love the dimples on the motherboard, and the joke about rodents. Have you considered making a video game? With your animation skills you could make a pretty cool game. Might even be prime material for a tutorial series and introduce more to programming. I would suggest C for a language if you do, as it's easier to understand than C++. There are plenty of really good libraries to choose from to get things done, as C need not be a stumbling block.
    2
  63. You absolutely have to shoulder it so we can see you fly like the super man that you are.
    2
  64. Always nice to have another choice even if I'll never use it myself. Those animated people were horrifying, they looked like grownup Zika survivors. I would be interested in knowing what kind of emulators you could use on it.
    2
  65. I've never been a big fan of the micro or mini connectors. So when they came out with USB-C and the plugs were flippable that sounded like an awesome idea. Of course the implementations are inconsistent and now we've got a labeling nightmare. I blame the manufacturers mostly, but I can't just blame them. A lot of the confusion is because of the standards writers. The whole lot of them should be scrapped and we should start over with people that have real world experience.

  66. No, it's Guh-Nome, and Ligdeeznuts.

  67. Products like this give me hope for the future of computing. Also, I really hope you get that condition looked at. I hear it can be really painful growing cameras out of your head.

  68. You won't read this, but I'll tell you that you're right anyway. When I'm working on the computer I'm in a dark room with drawn curtains. When I'm not at the computer I like doing various things like woodworking and such. When I moved recently I found all of my old Lego and at some point I'd like to clean them all and maybe set aside a bit of desk space to play with those again. I built a lot of spaceships when I was a kid, even with kits that weren't even remotely related to space and one day I'll build a full-size spaceship, but that may need to wait until society fully collapses before I can make a start on it, so it'll be within the decade.
    1
  69. Yep, completely agreed with this stance. In fact I don't buy any game if it's noted anywhere that it has rootkits or other DRM built-in. I'd love to see every game become open source, but they claim it's harder, if not impossible, for them to detect cheating only server-side. I don't agree, but it is certainly complex and hard to get right.

  71. I actually figured out that last example even with the poor naming scheme, but it's still poorly written even after renaming because it should just be `t = 1.08` with it later using `tc += p.P * t`. Of course, even that is still too simple because tax rates vary by jurisdiction and it should retrieve the tax rate from a database or other resource. For instance, where I live the sales tax, including state and federal, would be 8.25% and thus the multiplier should be 1.0825 and not 1.08 . But perhaps that is too nitpicky.

  72. 615k subs, yet only 9.8k views and an even more paltry 570 likes with an absolutely abysmal 34 comments. I looked through your catalog and discovered I'd bookmarked your videos page and had even watched multiple videos of yours, yet strangely, I couldn't remember any of them or you. I think part of it is definitely your thumbnails which don't really draw a person in, but something about your cadence just doesn't work either. It might be that you speak too softly. Of course, you should also consider doing more programming in your videos. With a channel name like "Coding with Lewis", I would expect there to be more coding. It sounds like your main area would be web development, so why not show what web tech can do and make a Doom clone that runs in the browser and makes use of a controller if the user has one connected. I've seen a few web games that made use of controllers, but not nearly enough. These are just my suggestions and you can feel free to ignore them, everyone else does.

  77. Nice. I didn't know that Kotlin had F-strings by default. I can't say as though I really like the list comprehension transformations, but it looks like Julia and Python have the cleanest for loops. I think for most things, generator patterns are probably the wrong way to go because it's slower, but it depends on what you're doing. I also kind of feel like the trait composition that Rust and a few other languages use makes it more difficult to define and implement an interface. Of course, now I wish I had already learned Kotlin years ago, because who knows what other good features it has that could've inspired me in designing my own language. I decided on F-strings by default not because of being inspired by a language which did, but because Python's F-strings annoyed me.

  78. I doubt you'll see any of my comments in a sea of comments, partly because I agree with most of what you say, but I hope that even when I only watch 30 seconds of an ad that it still gives you revenue. I can't stand these 5 minute ads but I let at least 30 seconds play in the hopes that it yields revenue to the channel.
