#fedijobs #GetFediHired #lisp
I am contracting a Common Lisp hacker for low-level work of choice:
-better thread scheduler, coupled with bare NUMA awareness
-a compiler optimization, like moving type transformations into the backend or adding the peephole pass
-TLAB support (I have most of it written)
-Making the thing boot on real hardware with PCI device detection (i.e no skipping with no-detect or UEFI boot)
-Overall fixing the driver subsystem so things like specific device combinations in QEMU don't crash
-NVME driver (could re-use virtio-block code, probably needs the two before)
-basic GLSL->TGSI compiler (needed for Trial port)
-concurrency subsystem improvements

Will pay up to $300, XMR only (unless you live in CIS), can do upfront if you have reputationn

@km i can't quite follow you who is bad now, but whoever tortures animals should get the same treatment.

@obsoletesony@mastodon.world Someone should find an unopened can of these and drink the 11 year old Walkman water

Last night I switched the GBA bitmap to be 8-bit paletted rather than 16-bit color to free up VRAM for sprites.

The tool that converts the image seems to do that wrong, it makes the palette entries RGB rather than BGR, so the color of skin is blue instead of pink. That has to be a bug, but can I really be the only person who has noticed this so far?

The solution is just use imagemagick to switch the channels:

> convert intro-8bit.png -channel-fx "red<=>blue" output.png

Thanks imagemagick, for always being there.

mein vorschlag: alle mit injektion kriegen für exakt die gleiche zeit die gleichen regeln auferlegt wie ich damals und werden täglich als blinddarm usw. bezeichnet.

dann reden wir weiter.

@tyil
pretty much. WHY should anyone use this vs. instagram?

"federation is too hard for npcs" and removing the unique selling point leaves "not big tech". people who don't want big tech will do the legwork of understanding federation. removibg the best parts selects for asshole users.

the guy got dizzy by the numbers the same as gargamel.

people continue to make the same mistakes

Pixelfed is bringing hundreds of thousands of users to the fediverse who don't know about federation. I'm now overhauling our onboarding in the app...
Got it working in C, and running on real hardware! But in the process figured out what I was doing wrong in Zig.

I'll probably be going back to Zig after this because It's been kind of unpleasant using C again. Got used to Zig real fast.
