I’m a Linux user since 2001, I saterted with KDE 2.2 or something. I stopped using it in favor of Gnome, XFCE and recently fluxbox over the years.

A few days ago I decided to give it a try again and I have to say I’m impressed. KDE has reached a level of sophistication I had never seen before in any other Linux desktop environment. For me the experience is almost on par with macOS and slightly above windows.

Interesting but too complicated for me.

For my own hashmap implementation I followed a wasteful aproach since I’m. It targeting embedded.

I created a structure called a hashmap object. It has two elements: a void pointer and a char pointer. The first one is the data and the second one is the metadata. The metadata is basically a string were the user can put anything, the type of the data, more data, whatever.

Then I preallocate 10s of thousands of hashmap objects. That way users of my hashmap don’t have to think about aollocating and de allocating hashmap nodes, they just insert, delete and search freely. They still have to care about allocating and de allocating they’re own data though.

Cannot find the mail in @misc you are talking about

Here it is

Looking at the title, at first I thought “uh?”, but then I saw microsoft and it made sense.

Or simply we just like things that have some noise.

What LLMs are people running on this kind of setups?

Any alternatives to this forum? I've never heard heard of this until now and as someone who spends a lot of time making music as a hobby sounds like a community I'd like to be part of.

Although its called "We Are The Music Makers", thats a reference to an Aphex Twin track of the same name and its primarily an Aphex Twin/Autechre/IDM/Warp Records electronic music (and/or general nonsense) discussion board. There is an active subforum called EKT (dont ask) where people discuss making their own music.

I believe there's an unrelated subreddit called r/watmm that is more literally about music making.

https://www.kvraudio.com/ is worth checking out. Some of the very best independent audio DSP devs in the world are there, along with great sound designers, hardware hackers, and a motley collection of music makers.

Depends on what you mean by alternatives. Some gear focused forums (ModWiggler, Lines, Elektronauts, etc) necessarily cover some of the same ground. The Dogs On Acid forum is also still around, though it's changed hands over the years.

As a total beginner in this field, how can I begin experimenting with this?

The article covers several themes in decompilation, but for academic work in decompilation just take some papers, study them, study references, try to reproduce the experiments I guess. For the bare basics, you can get a disassembly of a random binary on Linux with objdump -S

Awesome! I was thinking about playing with this on some BSD like two months ago.

I recently switched to OpenBSD for my home lab and the experience was exactly the same as yours. It works even better than FreeBSD.
