It's kinda weird that Apple are able to put out class leading new CPUs pretty much every year and AMD put out the 16 core 9950X in Aug 2024, slightly tweaked it with the 9950X3D in Dec 2025 and apparently have nothing in the works for 2026. Meanwhile you can get 18 core Snapdragon X2 SoCs in laptops and a 36 core M5 Ultra in a tiny Mac Studio.
This message brought to you by my desire to have more cores in my existing AM5 desktop.

In 2016 I bought some Mitutoyo vernier calipers. They came with an SR44 button cell. I have just replaced that battery for the first time. Granted I haven't used them a huge amount in those 10 years, but the manual says the battery life is 18,000 hours continuous use!
I reckon more battery powered devices should prioritise long battery life over other things.
Another example is my Pebble watch. It goes weeks between charges, compared to my previous Apple Watch, which was lucky to go two days.

An interesting idea, but no need for them to take power tool batteries directly. There are tool battery adaptors like this that will let you charge pretty much anything with a USB port. https://makita.com.au/cordless/lxt-18v-36v/clothing-lifestyle/lifestyle/adp15-18v-usb-c-charging-adaptor

TIL that xdg-open is a shell script with with a hard-coded set of desktop environments that it tries to detect and then dispatch to a specific command with a waterfall of fallbacks. E.g. if GNOME is detected then it tries: `gio help open`, then uses `gio open` if that succeeds, if not then `gvfs-open --help` and `gvfs-open` if that succeeds then `gnome-open`, finally a generic fallback.
I'm not sure I like this, but I guess that's the mess that is open-source desktop environments.

Apple have this new marketing site for Safari to try to get Mac users to switch from Chrome: https://www.apple.com/safari/switch/
There is a "Questions? Answers." section at the bottom that includes the question: "Can I use Safari on Windows or Android?"
Instead of saying: No, it waffles about things that are not about using Safari on Windows or Android.
To be clear I'm generally in support of fewer people using Chrome, I'd just like this page to be a little less propaganda.

They have the same CPU and RAM as the LattePanda V1 running my retro site, which draws about 2W.

In 2015 I bought a Nikon Coolpix S33 camera for a trip to Fiji for A$149. I got it because it was waterproof. I only used it for that trip. I recently remembered I had it and wondered how it would compare to my phone, so I've started carrying it on my walks after work. The conclusion is that it is terrible unless there is a lot of light, but it does have better zoom than my phone.
Here's some Hippeastrums that are flowering in our yard, taken with the S33.

I use vertical tabs on the right in Firefox with the tab list collapsed. This places the first tab dangerously close to the window close button. After once again accidentally closing my primary browser window (luckily easy to restore with Ctrl+Shift+n) some searching has revealed there is a setting to enable a title bar… complete with the title of the current tab! To turn it on right-click on the top toolbar, choose Customize Toolbar, then tick the Title Bar checkbox in the bottom left. #firefox

We're well into spring now and I'm enjoying the change of season. The storm birds (Eastern Koel) are returning from their migration north for winter, it's now light for part of my after-work walk, and there's lots of colour on the plants and trees.
I also saw two Brush Turkeys tonight, which isn't uncommon, but it was unusual to see them closer to town.

Mild take for the day: All videos players (looking at you YouTube) should have a waveform on the timeline to allow easier skipping to specific parts where the audio track noticeably changes. As seen here in Amberol, which is music player, but the idea is the same.

It kinda weird that tiny plastic stickers get put on every individual supermarket apple (at least here in Australia). Once upon a time they served a useful purpose of identifying the variety for the cashier. They also sometimes helpfully included the 4-digit PLU (price lookup number) the cashier had to type to ring them up (can you tell I worked at supermarket in my youth).
This one however is solely branding. It has "redland australia" on it and a QR that just goes to their website. Strange.

Ever see a #Rust compiler warning with a suggested fix and wish the compiler would do it for you? Well, good news! `cargo fix`—built into Cargo can do that.
The first screenshot shows a warning about elided lifetimes. The second screenshot shows the code after running `cargo fix`. It has applied the suggestion.
`cargo fix` is conservative, so you will usually need one of the `--allow` options to allow it make change. In my case I had all modified code staged in `git`, so used `--allow-staged`.

We finally made it to Booloumba Falls in Cannondale National Park! It was a nice day out with my parents enjoying the varied landscape, 4WD roads, and waterfalls at the end.
Winter is our dry season, so not a huge amount of water flowing, but recent rain topped it up.
We also made the mandatory stop at the Kenilworth Bakery for doughnuts.

I finally managed to capture some information from the flaky LattePanda this morning. It's possible the issue is related to the network interface. The Ethernet port is on the board but it seems it is a USB connected RTL8152. The logs show 'carrier lost' and it remained that way from that point on. I reloaded the module and it came back to life.

@nprofile…m68e By "took out a part on the mobo" do you mean to cause the instability of the Panda in the first place? If so, I don't think that's it as I only connected the screen and keyboard after it started being extra flakey.

@nprofile…m68e It can run over just USB-C or USB-C plus HDMI. I was doing the latter on the Latte Panda (with a C to A adaptor). When I tried it afterwards on other devices I was using just USB-C and it did complain of low power on one device, so I plugged it into a separate power source, and it worked. I've hooked it back up to the Latte Panda, but with a power bank powering it instead of the Panda this time.

Oh wait I managed to get some output on the screen on my laptop. Perhaps it's not dead after all.

Well great. It seems to have killed the little 13-inch portable display I had hooked up to it too. Devices see it but the screen never shows anything (not even the OSD).

@nprofile…z93n yes certainly possible (it's running Chimera Linux). It's currently in an awkward spot though, so I want to replace it with something else so that I can move it and access it more easily.

@nprofile…juw7 that's very generous of you, thank you. I'm feeling kinda burned with it though and I have a VisionFive 2 Lite on my desk that I think I will replace it with.

The little Latte Panda V1 that hosts https://home.wezm.net/~wmoore/ and https://mistakes.computer/ has become very sad of late. For a while it would die after about 30 days, but recently it's been happening every 24 hours. I hooked up a screen and keyboard yesterday to try to catch some log output, but this morning the screen is just blank. Looks like I'll need to replace it with something else until I can work out what's wrong with it.

@nprofile…9t59 Yes this is what I did, but it feels like something common enough to be built in (like BSD make, cargo, meson, etc). Plus that only works on Linux.

@nprofile…kd8a I'd buy the portability argument if they didn't also have a `-l` option to control jobs based on load average, which feels like it would run into similar portability challenges.

2026-08-11 03:53:57 UTC

Why does GNU make _still_ not have a way to automatically determine the number of parallel jobs based on available CPU cores? I guessed (incorrectly) that `-j` without an argument would do this, but it turns out that is an unlimited number of jobs. That is a good way to take out your whole graphical session (only a VM fortunately) thanks to OOM killer choosing that instead of one dozens of `mmc` processes.
Notably BSD make (on FreeBSD and NetBSD at least) can do this with `-j 1C`

"No one is required to use LLMs to contribute to rust-lang/rust"
"You must disclose LLM-generated content. You can choose to not post LLM content, or you can choose to post it and disclose its origin."

@nprofile…982f I did this weeks interview question in Janet. While possible to mutate `a` I took the functional approach and return a new array, which is a little more idiomatic for a Lisp-like language.

2026-08-04 03:11:30 UTC

OMG! I just discovered that auto-rotation and keyboard & mouse lockout now work on my 2-in-1 Lenovo laptop running GNOME on Chimera Linux.
That means I can flip the screen back (to form a tent) and it flips 180°, and when flipped all the way back I can use it like a giant tablet in either portrait or landscape orientation).
This didn't work when I first got it, so not sure whether GNOME improved support, or whether Linux got new sensor support that enabled existing functionality. #Linux

It warms my heart to see already very fast projects like atuin and Gleam celebrating performance wins going from a few milliseconds to even fewer milliseconds.
In Gleam it was formatting going from 13ms to 9.8ms. https://giacomocavalieri.me/writing/gleam-rust-arenas
