Everyone knows Murphy’s law - anything which can go wrong, will.

I’ve been using Caddy as a reverse proxy for a while.

I’ve been using Neovim for a while now and it’s been fun.

I love collecting gadgets.

Repeated keypresses are an application usage anti-pattern.

Neovim has become very popular as a replacement for plain Vim.

After my last post about trying out various Linux distros, my friend Christian said he was using Sway which is the Wayland version of i3.

I wanted a serialisation and parsing library to create and load savegames in plain C.

Update: I also have a Part 2 I have a preferred desktop setup with MATE, but I like to go distro surfing every so often to look at what other desktop environments have to offer, know what’s out there, and maybe get some new ideas.

There’s that saying in software “Premature optimisation is the root of all evil”, popularised by Donald Knuth and which some say can be attributed to Tony Hoare.

The dark-mode vs light-mode discussion popped up on Hacker News again so I wanted to summarise all I cound find about it.

I wanted a button to toggle between a light and dark stylesheet for my dynamic Markdown renderer.

While tinkering with roguelike development, I ended up writing my own 2D tile engine in SDL.

Earlier in the year I wrote about static analysis tools for C and wanted to cover a couple more.

Roguelike authors might be interested in using Unicode in curses, particularly for drawing Codepage 437 symbols in modern OSes, or just to get “beautiful” characters like Brogue.

Static analysis of computer programs can be simply defined as automated inspection of the source code to find programming errors.

The bash shell has variable PS1 which controls how the prompt is displayed.

The Android app Learn 6502 Assembly provides a reasonably good 6502 CPU emulator and debugger, integrated with an Android text editor and a small game-console-like interface (memory-mapped graphics, d-pad, A and B).

I have a simple Linux graphical desktop environment, using the Openbox window manager and tint2 panel.

Over on Hacker News, Z posted a fantastic article called The 8-Byte Two-Step where the concept of aligning to byte boundaries was explored.
