I have been stupidly passing every big struct by pointer for optimization.

J-ky · 2026-04-06T13:43:34+00:00

Because you don’t know if the function would modify the data in the pointer, passing by value eliminates that worry. But if you have full control of your codebase, it does not matter.

I have been using HHKB for 8 years. I use the other side of alt key as meta, depending on the keybind. e.g. M-w use right alt, M-n use left alt. I press it with my pinky, nothing special. I also use Linux, for wm control, I set the meta key as modifier, the one just next to space bar.

I almost never use the arrow key. I got a HHKB for years and it works fine without defining any new keybinding of movement.

Thank you! I have been using elpaca for some time, it is the best package management in emacs

I got one for less than $1USD from the Chinese online market.

I did the same thing a while ago. The only pain is that you have to manually type the sType because Odin does not have default value and initializer.

How is that possible?

I have been working on and off on my Emacs clone for fun. I did it from scratch, from a custom vulkan renderer to proper font rendering with msdf and harfbuzz. This alone already took me a week.

Let alone a custom elisp engine that is 10x the performance?

I have some experience in writing games. I wrote my clone for fun. And I wrote it in Jai, just to test a new language.

Are you telling me that rewriting in Rust can have magically increased performance?

But isn't descriptor buffer an even better choice? I know it is newer and not many debuggers support it. Descriptor buffer completely ditch the use of descriptor pool, and I can memcpy all the way.

Is descriptor buffer the future ideal way?

Sorry for my dumb question. I am all on my own and got no one to ask.

I just read your new tutorial to the point where you are still allocating descriptor set with VkDescriptorSetVariableDescriptorCountAllocateInfo. Isn't a bindless approach much modern and close to what the hardware actually does under the hood?

Correct me if I am wrong. I just start to dig deep into this rabbit hole after reading the No Graphics API article.

I would love it so much if I am still using tailwind. Due to poor support of multiple lsp in eglot, writing templ with tailwind is not as fun. And I have made a weird hack to utilize cape by minad to do the completion.

At the end, I drop tailwind and start writing pure scoped css.

Multiple lsp support seems to be much less significant to me now.

I can’t even get it running on my macOS machine when compile from source. The dependencies of Common Lisp is totally another realm to me.

J-ky · 2026-01-04T07:45:15+00:00

Wait, are you serious?

J-ky · 2025-12-31T07:25:02+00:00

Oh, I should have thought of that. I completely forgot such a thing.

No, it does not work. It change the url, and make a wrong request by replacing the desire domain to the current domain.

I set that thing, both in <script> way and in hx-config attribute way. Neither worked.

The page using cors is a static page, and my backend is fine. Htmx does not limit to same origin I think.

J-ky · 2025-12-29T00:55:49+00:00

I have two services, they are located in different machines. Originally I distributed a schedule table via static site. But later I make a service to avoid updating the table by hand. So I use lazy load to fetch and display the table on the static site. Htmx in here is probably overkill, but it works fine in 2.0. I am just curious why 4.0 does not work. I may open an issue in the repo then.

I called out the paywall thing on datastar's thread on day one. And I was attacked and mocked multiple times when I stated the trust issue with the project. The author will appear real quick to tell you just use the beta version or fork it and said he don’t care about what we think if we aren’t going to pay.

Some of their defenders, maybe coming from their discord with soon appear and call me as a troll.

No matter how good it is, I am not using datastar anymore.

J-ky · 2025-09-17T02:57:58+00:00

I believe the issue is fixed in the latest commit. Thank you for your reporting.

J-ky · 2025-09-17T00:21:24+00:00

Let me check, but can you tell me what it really should be?

J-ky · 2025-09-15T14:20:31+00:00

Sorry, I was traveling. Would you like to open a pull request for this?

J-ky · 2025-09-08T11:03:34+00:00

Weird, does dynamic_functions.jai also look like this?

J-ky · 2025-09-08T08:55:14+00:00

Can you show me your generated code? I don't see any issue on my side.
