Tech News
- QtNotepad is a 50KB notepad app written using the Qt toolkit.
I've tinkered with Qt a little, but didn't realise you could get a standalone GUI app that small.
Source code is a 3KB zip file.
- ELVM is a trans-compiler that takes C code and turns it into... Other things.
Here's an example.
You're welcome.
- A closer look at the Xeon W-3175X Bandito vs. the Threadripper 2990WX Instigator. (Tom's Hardware)
Conclusion? It's basically a tie. The Intel chip is faster on tasks other than rendering, but that's one of the most common uses for this class of CPU. And the Xeon is 60% more expensive, and requires a motherboard that is 200% more expensive than the AMD equivalent.
Social Media News
- If Facebook is outlawed only outlaws will have Facebook. (Wired)
This is an analysis of the German antitrust ruling against Facebook's advertising model. Facebook is toast in Germany if they don't win on appeal, and that seems unlikely.

I would be impressed if you could produce Malbolge programs out of ELVM. Pretty much the first actual program in that language was, IIRC, generated with genetic algorithms or something weird like that, as it's designed to be hard to write programs in.

Octa-level NAND SSDs? Seriously? The rollout of TLC SSDs was a total cluster-#$&, that eventually became passable. QLC SSDs were... underwhelming overall. Now we'll have OLC SSDs... that must be for the use case where you want your long-term data retention in your storage drive measured in minutes.
