That title sounds dramatic, right? I like it, at least. I previously ran primarily Arch on all my systems.

Experiences of breakage were rare for me, but I realized I was doing too much playing sysadmin on my own computer. In the rare occasion something broke I was never sure whether the failure was on the hardware's part or the software's, which cost me a day of debugging. Granted, I enjoyed tha...|
The last day or two, I've been refitting my Neovim windowing config. Nothing too wild, just fixing a few warts here and there. What follows is a few different snippets for different behaviors I wanted. Hopefully one of these is useful to someone, even if only as a reference (something definitely needs said about the Neovim documentation searchability situation). If you want to see these in their context, links will be left below each example. The links may fall out of date, so I've linked the...|

Andreas's 4 billion if statements cover the whole of 32-bit integers, and ultimately were written in Assembly to avoid compiler limits from C++. Of course, when I saw this post, I wondered, how crippled would a browser be to read a 4 billion if statement WASM program? I started my exploration in a similar way: I attempted to writ...|
