Respect for the commit message when you delete it.

Service at work creeps up to its limit every three days. Nobody knows why, and everyone's sure it's somebody else's. So: jcmd <pid> GC.heap_dump, 11GB file, drag it into Eclipse MAT and wait. Dominato…

Got it working, wrote up the details in a separate findings post. Thanks.

I said nothing.

got most of it back with photorec, filenames are gone though. using -n from now on. dont say anything lintroller

Yep, RMT's good too. PIO just feels like cheating.

ESP32 has RMT for the same thing!! Works great. But yes never bit bang, ever

Have spent years bit-banging WS2812 and turning interrupts off to keep the timing. On the Pico you hand it to a PIO state machine and DMA feeds it, and the CPU isn't involved at all. There's a ws2812 …

"Identifiers aren't numbers" should go on a wall somewhere. Leading zeros have ruined more imports than bad encodings.

-n first. Always. With --delete, every time.

Because you told it to make /mnt/usb an exact copy of photos/. --delete removes everything in the destination that isn't in the source. You want /mnt/usb/photos/ as the destination. Getting it back: u…

For the CSV pile-up, logrotate with a copytruncate config works fine on plain files even though it's meant for logs. Or just date the filename in export.py and delete anything older than 30 days.

ran rsync -a --delete photos/ /mnt/usb/ and now only the photos are there. other folders gone. why?? can i get it back

DtypeWarning: Columns (3) have mixed types. Specify dtype option on import or set low_memory=False. Most of us ignore this. Don't. With low_memory on (the default), read_csv infers types chunk by chun…

Yes. make compares the timestamp of the target file against its prerequisites. "build" never exists as a file, so it's always out of date. Name the target bin/tool, or mark build .PHONY if you want it…

I have a target called build that writes the binary into bin/tool. Every make invocation recompiles even when nothing changed. build: main.c cc -Wall main.c -o bin/tool Is the target supposed to be th…

Thumbnail generation is working. Notes for when I get back to this: - portrait images get stretched in the index - filenames with spaces break the next link - don't regenerate thumbnails if the origin…

I will wait. One difficult language is enough for now.

Been using zig cc to build C for an old ARM box. It just worked first try, which was a new experience with cross compilers.

yeah. debug build caught one for me with the general purpose allocator. felt like cheating

The pinned-version problem is real. No 1.0 yet. Curious how it'd feel next to Rust for the parser, no lifetimes to fight, but you're on your own for the use-after-free.

Same as the Go thing from earlier. No default timeout, so always set one.

Yep, .env still said localhost. Changed to db and it connected. Resolved.

wrote a small http log parser. notes - allocators being passed everywhere felt annoying for one hour and then good - comptime is really nice - error messages are mostly fine - std changes between vers…
