Making a computer in Opus Magnum

Или, если быть точнее, вычитание восьмибитных чисел.

Спойлер: перевод вычислителей на логических вентилях в аналогичные конструкции в игре работает, но в данном контексте не оптимален

The Fifth Kind of Optimisation

A little while back I wrote about what I considered to be the four main kinds of optimisation:

<...>

However, none of this excuses the fact that I missed off a technique that, even when I wrote that post, I use frequently:

5. Use parallelisation.

Parallelism has long held promise but for a long time we couldn’t rely on hardware or programming languages when it came to parallel programming. I hope I’ve explained explain why I – and, I think, many other programmers – have consequently been afraid of exploiting parallelisation.

Nearly all those problems are now in the past and – finally! – we are starting to see somewhat widespread use of software that exploits the parallelisation potential of our hardware.

Bugs Rust Won't Catch

In April 2026, Canonical disclosed 44 CVEs in uutils, the Rust reimplementation of GNU coreutils that ships by default since 25.10. Most of them came out of an external audit commissioned ahead of the 26.04 LTS.

I read through the list and thought there’s a lot to learn from it.

What’s notable is that all of these bugs landed in a production Rust codebase, written by people who knew what they were doing, and none of them were caught by the borrow checker, clippy lints, or cargo audit.

<...>

If you write systems code in Rust, this is the most concentrated look at where Rust’s safety ends that you’ll likely find anywhere right now.

GDB pretty printing w/ Python is really powerful, but also it's ridiculously high friction compared to Microsoft's .natvis.

Completely aside from any syntactic whatever, you can't (safely) load any ol' Python script in a project's repo, but you can safely load up associated .natvis files, which makes Microsoft's solution vastly superior for library users.

And there's really no reason that GDB and LLDB can't just implement .natvis support out of the box. (Yes, I know there are Python libraries that add a subset of .natvis support to GDB, but that doesn't solve the "out of the box" part at all.) Or hell, if they really hate Microsoft (who doesn't?) then implement their own declarative debug visualizer format.

(This post brought to you by me using Clang 22 for _Defer via mingw and now having to write *ing Python to make my pure C project comfortably debuggable.)

Или как активация подписки автоматически прекращалась через пять минут и (спекуляция на тему) почему.

Спойлер: As a one-liner: "creation was synchronous, unlinking was async." A race condition!

NES Dev 2026

NES, более известная у нас как Денди, — поистине народная приставка, на которой вышли десятки культовых и любимых с нами детства игр, и даже спустя 40+ лет продолжают выходить новые. Если вам тоже было интересно, как устроена приставка и как разработать свою собственную игру для неё, Юлия @Yuliosity в эту субботу расскажет:

- про возможности и ограничения восьмибитного железа
- какие трюки применяли игры, чтобы их преодолевать
- какие средства разработки использовать в 2026 году

Ждём всех желающих! Вход бесплатный, донаты спейсу приветствуются.

Как нас найти?

Porting Mac OS X to the Nintendo Wii

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.
