Pinellas County - Long Run: 13.12 miles, 00:09:14 average pace, 02:01:03 duration
it was pouring with heavy winds when i woke up so i waited a bit for it to calm down before heading out. it was great until the rain stopped and the humidity came in which coincided with the ascent. overall it was a good session. beth's handheld water sucks.

[47°09′06″S, 126°43′47″W] Transponder malfunction
@lyse It’s much more than I expected. In my experience, trying to use assembly to optimize C programs has hardly any effect these days. The C compilers have become really, really good. If anything, you’ll make it worse when you put your own assembly stuff in there. 😅 But apparently it’s a different story for Open Watcom / DOS / real mode … 🤔

@stigatle Someone on Mastodon mentioned that it might be worth using assembly instead of C. So I rewrote two hot code paths with inline assembly this morning. And, lo and behold, this got me from ~27.6 fps to ~38.5 fps. 🤯

@eapl.me Yeah, the good thing about racing games is that they’re so simple. 😅 No story needed, no complex game logic. It was perfect for this little toy project. (It’s not the actual Wolfenstein engine, though, it’s just the same method of rendering. 😅)

@eapl.me Interesting 🤔 But the most interesting piece I noticed was this:
> Open source is broken and developers working full-time in the open have a hard time making ends meet compared to employed equivalents.
>
> Taking a step towards one possible solution for open source precarity, Rad Reader will be 100% open sourced on reaching 350 purchases.

@prologic @movq Well, there are a few things that might be important to me, but I would miss otherwise. I should maybe spend a bunch more time on creating filter rules for all that crap. Sort out mails from bots into the trash automatically and things like that. A lot of definitely important stuff is already handled. But the maybe pile is still quite large.
@stigatle Almost 100% C. A tiny little bit of inline assembly, but it’s just a few instructions.
I use Open Watcom V2 to cross-compile it directly from Linux, pretty handy.

@movq Very cool! what language is used for the coding?
Last week of my vacation. I made a little racing game for real-mode DOS that uses ray casting for rendering. There’s not a lot of game logic, except for lap timing and the tiles next to the walls have very high friction.
The tracks are procedurally generated. You can select one from the command line. (I love that concept very much.)
Getting the basic game done wasn’t too hard. I could reuse a lot of code from my little pool billiards game.
But … oh my goodness, the performance? The video was made on my Pentium 133, which is *very* powerful for the DOS era. And yet, it barely makes it above 25 FPS. I already used a couple of tricks (no floating point in some parts, try to keep an eye on cache locality, …) and I’ve passed on texturing the floor. The hot code paths are those that copy data in memory, like reading a pixel value for a texture and then copying it to the VGA buffer.
I’ve learned to appreciate games like Duke Nukem 3D a lot more now – how on earth can they be so fast? 🤯 I’ve got some homework to do …

I’m going to create a new IMAP folder called “Vacation 2023” and move all mail in there. I won’t read a single one of it until needed. 😅

@lyse It's time like this, every time I go on extended holidays, when I come back to work, I just declare "email/chat" bankruptcy 😅 🤣

I saw a Cybertruck earlier. I'm no fan of Tesla, but that thing is pretty cool.
I _feel_ a little safer using the Web with Little Snitch installed on my personal Mac 😅 I've already blocked unwanted traffic from SyncThing as well as Brew. Syncthing wanted to talk to various pub sub services, which I said "fuck no", "isn't this thing meant to be local?!" And Brew (_shame on you_) wants to send analytics to influxdata.com 🤦♂️ C'mon Homebrew, run your own fucking Influx server 😅

@anth There is not I'm afraid, and really no-one that I know of really uses registries. It's the age-old problem in the decentralised world of "which one do I use?" all of them, some of them, 😅 That's why I a crawler and search engine over at search.twtxt.net which to date has pretty much every known twtxt feed in existence that it can find 😅
