there are an infinite number of groups (sets + operations) where 2 is the identity element (also known as the neutral element).

one example would be the MAX operation defined in the set {2, 3, 4, ...}.

another example would be the set of rational numbers and area of the triangle with sides x and y, i.e. (x*y)/2.

_________________________

it's possible java 1.0 (pre JIT, pre HotSpot, pre-gigantic standard library, pre-fancy-types) might qualify. it was simpler, but no one targets that anymore.

more than a technical argument i think you can judge how "bedrock" a VM design is by something like:

B = M / (U + 1)

where M is the number of distinct implementers and U is the number of distinct users.

you can tell the JDK/CLR are not very good bedrocks because is M is pretty small and U is gigantic. i would argue scheme is actually pretty good by this metric.

2026-09-20T19:55:46Z

In reply to nevent1q…nfmk
_________________________

In fairness to the language, it has a reputation as being hard to write because it can produce very fast binaries and also because the type safety makes certain classes of errors much less likely. So I think a certain kind of person sees it as a more "prestigous" language to write in.

And with LLMs, I think one of the major drivers for people is wanting to do something they don't think they are capable of on their own, so they turn to agent to do it for them (and then get to vicariously claim the glory/credit themselves).

So a language like that (which might be a bit "safer" to write with an agent, and also potentially carries prestige) is a very attractive target.

The same was true of Zig before they took a stand.

good luck! 😎

one commonality is that any meds seem to work a lot better if you take them the first moment you think it's possible there will be a migraine versus waiting until it's actually happening. (even basic over the counter stuff sometimes helps if i take it before the actual migraine kicks off)

relatedly, keeping a log of possible triggers can help, especially if you can note it before the migraine starts (once i'm having a migraine lots of smells feel like they are causing it, but really it's just a symptom of the migraine i'm having)

for me stress has been the biggest migraine trigger, but drinking enough water and moderating certain foods has helped too.

2026-07-31T15:51:08Z

In reply to nevent1q…rk9j
_________________________

One other thing to consider for NetBSD in particular is that the project still supports "dead" architectures and machines that are almost 40 years old. Many people would consider all this cruft and try to purge it all but I consider it to be a really laudable goal to keep all these old machines working (both from a permacomputing perspective but also a preservation/historical perspective).

This means the project has to be cautious about making big changes. Something that speeds up the framebuffer on newer architectures but breaks it on a bunch of others might seem to be a no-brainer to someone who just wants a Linux-replacement on an amd64 machine, but would really hurt the project. This is one reason a lot of the software feels older.

I don't think every other project (e.g. FreeBSD, OpenBSD, etc.) has to have the same goals, but this is another aspect of why NetBSD might require a bit of adjustment compared to modern Linux.

I see lots of people getting interested in NetBSD recently to ...

2026-07-31T15:43:24Z

I see lots of people getting interested in NetBSD recently to reduce their reliance on the Linux kernel and parts of its ecosystem they are unhappy with (e.g. systemd, glibc, flatpak, wayland, etc.)

I think this is a good idea! However, I would probably avoid trying to completely divest yourself of that world right away. The BSDs (and other less mainstream operating systems) have thousands or millions of times less work put in (for both time and money) and so there will inevitably be gaps, bugs, shortcomings, or challenges.

To avoid getting frustrated or burning yourself out I'd encourage you to treat it as an experiment and figure out what things you _can_ do. Maybe your server(s) can run it fine, but it won't for you on desktop. Maybe you can keep a secondary comptuer (e.g. netbook) around but still need Linux/Mac/whatever for a few important tasks.

I think that is totally ok! And rather than bemoaning how far behind something like NetBSD feels I'd encourage you to find ways to adapt or contribute.

For context: I've been using NetBSD since about 2001 across many platforms (68k and ppc Macs, 32-bit and 64-bit intel and ARM, sparc, etc.) but I've always had machines running another OS like Linux or MacOS.

Good luck and happy sysadmin day! 🚩

This is something I've brought up with Devine Lu Linvegan (npub1z8r…mrq6) before -- that it would be nice to have a general purpose timer device.

Right now the Screen device is the only timer we have -- the Datetime device doesn't have a vector so the only way to use that is in a busy loop reading the seconds port.

For right now, a Screen device with 0 height and 0 width but with a screen vector running at 60 Hz would probably be the least disruptive option. (Most ROMs that detect CLI-vs-GUI use non-zero screen size to do the detection)

hopefully Andy Alderwick (npub13e0…qty3) doesn't mind! 😅

took a small detour to implement a streaming encoder/decoder for ULZ for the #uxn ecosystem.

it's a small spec but as usual it took awhile to shake out the bugs (including building a test framework and generative tester).

here's a great elaboration (code in haskell but hopefully you ...

inspired by some comments on IRC i tried muxn.rom from the framebuffer with uxn-lfb and... it's just works!

(on my netbook it runs but it's a bit too slow to feel usable.)

working on a modern Varvara implementation for the Linux framebuffer: https://git.phial.org/d6/uxn-lfb

the plan is to base the emulator code on uxn11/uxn2.

currently i just have a demo, but it's successfully detecting input devices, translating events into Varvara events, and drawing pixels to the screen.

(shout out to Bad Diode (npub1td3…x7ee) who explored this possibility years ago)
