There are a couple of emulation communities outside of Beehaw:

It might be interesting to determine whether the freezes are limited to Plasma or are happening within the kernel.

  • Have you tried Control+Alt+F1/F2/F3 ... F8, to see if switching virtual consoles still works while the freezes are happening?
  • Do you have another machine on the same network? You could use it to ssh into your desktop machine, and when the freezes are happening, see if they affect ssh interactivity.

How would this control people selling their used hardware? I don't see anything about Sony trying to disable resold consoles.

you'll get "a product that works like new with genuine PlayStation replacement parts (as needed) that has been thoroughly cleaned, inspected and tested". You will receive all the cables and paperwork you need for a PS5, and it comes with a 12-month manufacturer's warranty

That's worth a premium to some people.

The cool kids in systems programming are using Rust now.

Can you explain what you mean by "the cool kids"?

no one yet Jonathan blow’s unnamed programming language (people call it jay).

I guess you missed my comment. ;)

Also, I don't think Go is generally considered a systems programming language.

What new direction is D taking that has you worried? Maybe I should watch out for it, too. :)

one of the features I dislike the most in C/C++ is the super slow and super obsolete precompiler with its header files,

Are you sure you should lump those two languages together? In my experience, C++ preprocessing can be slow (especially when you use templates), but not C. I shudder to think what preprocessor shenanigans the C libraries you've used might be doing to make compiling with them super slow. (LLVM isn't exactly known as a speed demon, though; maybe you've run into that?)

In any case, I guess that rules out transpiled languages like Nimskull (work in progress) and its parent language.

Have you looked at Odin?

Maybe Vale?

There is Jai (work in progress), though I haven't looked closely enough to know if it fits your needs. (I'm not sold on Jonathan Blow's judgment.)

I suspect there are few languages well suited to both system and game programming (unless you mean game engine programming) that avoid all the things you seem to dislike. If you find one, I hope you'll write about it here. If not, there's always the option of using two languages.

Oops.

Since you're using sudo, I suggest setting different passwords on production, remote, and personal systems. That way, you'll get a password error before a tired/distracted command executes in the wrong terminal.

I don't use Visual Studio Code, so please don't take this as endorsement, but this article reminded me of your post:

That looks like an interesting diagram, but the text in it renders too small to read easily on the screen I'm using, and trying to open it leads to a javascript complaint and a redirect that activates before I can click to allow javascript. If it's yours, you might want to look in to that.

The table below works, though. Thanks for the link.

Also f*ck Fahrenheit, we have Celsius and Kalvin for that,

Who is Kalvin? Did you mean kelvin?

One drawback of celsius/centigrade is that its degrees are so coarse that weather reports / ambient temperature readings end up either inaccurate or complicated by floating point numbers. I'm on board with using it, but I won't pretend it's strictly superior.

Direct link to the table, for those who block off-site scripts:

Some of the labels don't seem to show up unless you zoom out.

 

Coming from a district court, I think this ruling could be appealed, but it's welcome news nevertheless.

 

Not my blog, but the author's experience reminded me of my own frustrations with Microsoft GitHub.
