Oh, that's unexpected idea. I hope I'll try it one day, thank you.
I use FireWire as well. Spent a month connecting it, that was a devastating part. It turned out, only IEE1394 cards with TI chips works with Sony cameras. And only some cables. But to me, result is worth it.
I film my kids with the same camera in 2026. I don't know how to explain it, but it feels completely different. When I film something on a phone I feel awkward but with this camera I could film everyone and it's much more comfortable to all (including adults I mean)
I feel your pain. I have my own struggles with switching tasks and what helps to some degree is understanding that that kind of switching and adapting is a skill which could be trained by doing exactly this. At least I feel less like a victim and more like a person who improves himself :)
But it appears I'm in a better position because I don't have to work with clearly stupid GUIs and have no strong emotions to them.
> There is a concept called “Copilot Lag”. It refers to a state where after each action, an engineer pauses, waiting for something to prompt them what to do next.
I've been experiencing this for 10-15 years. I type something and then wait for IDE to complete function names, class methods etc. From this perspective, LLM won't hurt too much because I'm already dumb enough.
Normally you would write a program that is a game of Doom when you run it (you create a program, then compile it and run). Dmitri created a program that does nothing and he don't even run it. But while it's compiling, it does a lot of tricky things to make typescript compiler to run Doom as a side effect.
It's extremely hacky because Typescript is not even a runtime, it's not meant to run any code at all. Typescript is a thing that takes .ts file and produces .js file (which you then run using different program - a javascript runtime).
So cool that with uv it becomes so easy to install such tools.
What's missing in the install routine is uv installing this tool ignoring the Python dependency. My box has 3.10 and isd won't work with it. Fixed with `-p 3.13` option. May be worth mention in the docs.
This is an absolutely great project. I had a lot of fun tinkering with the ROM of my Philips smart clock.
It has a built-in DSL that looks like Rust (without memory management, though – so it's very lightweight), and with that, it's possible to visualize and extract structural data from binary streams. That's really fun and cool.
It also has a visual editor to make simple calculations with no code. It didn't feel polished at the time I tried it. Strangely, writing code in DSL was more intuitive and easier for me.
The very first "technique" is odd and based on a false assumption. Bash doesn't call /bin/[ binary when evaluating expressions. It uses its own builtin implementation instead.
As a teenager, I discovered disassemblers/debuggers and became very enthusiastic about hacking and patching things. I reset the trial period counter on a few shareware apps, and the next "victim" that caught my eyes was encrypted RAR SFX archive. I thought it would be the perfect target.
I spent ~20 hours trying to find a routine that compares the entered password with the correct one. That humbling moment I realised there was no such routine, and moreover, most of disassembled code is just garbage.
[*] this is an encrypted archive combined with extractor in one .exe file.
This is awesome! I like how it's built and I looks like it's open for integrations of any kind.
I'm also too impatient to manually enter all transactions but import from PDF statement form a bank looks like a doable task. The only transactions that would be required to enter manually is cash/crypto/etc but for them there are no other choice.
Contrats with the the release Anantha and I hope your project will gain attention it deserves!
I found it extremely useful when I need to estimate throughput of some system. Especially it has some elements non-linear or non-continuous characteristics like rate limits etc.
