In the unlikely case that you have very little RAM and a surplus of video RAM, you can use the latter as swap.

Facto is a programming language that compiles to Factorio circuit network blueprints. You write readable code describing the logic you want, and the compiler generates optimized combinators that you paste directly into your game. No manual wiring, no layout headaches, no remembering signal types, no memory frustration, no debugging visual spaghetti.

A Rust compiler written in PHP that emits x86-64 Linux ELF binaries directly (no LLVM, no assembler, no linker). Implements ownership checking, borrow checking, type checking, move semantics, generics, traits, closures, and iterators. Useful if you need to compile Rust on a shared hosting server from 2008 where the only installed runtime is PHP.

Since its launch in 2007, the Wii has seen several operating systems ported to it: Linux, NetBSD, and most-recently, Windows NT. Today, Mac OS X joins that list.

In this post, I’ll share how I ported the first version of Mac OS X, 10.0 Cheetah, to the Nintendo Wii. If you’re not an operating systems expert or low-level engineer, you’re in good company; this project was all about learning and navigating countless “unknown unknowns”. Join me as we explore the Wii’s hardware, bootloader development, kernel patching, and writing drivers - and give the PowerPC versions of Mac OS X a new life on the Nintendo Wii.
