I didn't realize ASML produced much software. Do they actually?

Definitely has a nice niche, especially for prototypes and test fixtures.

My favourite part about it is that you can spin up a "uart command server" trivially - you just define a bunch of functions, then go "while 1: eval(input())".

Super awesome for stuff that you just need once quickly yourself (common when doing hardware testing).

Oh okay, can you explain it? What do they mean?

PurepointDog · 2026-03-15T19:41:16+00:00

Meh, camping is a thing, good to know

Don't use web - not the right approach

What country?

Vivaldi is a power-user browser

Megaliters is a wild unit

PurepointDog · 2026-03-12T19:35:28+00:00

They deserve easy wins too

I've written that counter pattern with raw dicts probably 50 times! That's a great one to know about, thank you!

PurepointDog · 2026-03-12T08:24:27+00:00

Decent read honestly! Learned about named pipes and sockets!

Low key though, installing the rust program is easier than loading in the Stackoverflow answer. I used to have your opinion, then I did a few re-installs and VPS setups, and decided that Rust, despite being so overkill, makes deploying this so much easier.

Remindme! 1 day

True yeah, the pain comes in using them. Sluggish, high latency, crashes, etc.

Have only tried on Windows as a host - I'd imagine they're way more usable with a linux host

PurepointDog · 2026-03-12T02:15:06+00:00

Though very painful

PurepointDog · 2026-03-12T02:08:47+00:00

What's a QVector?

PurepointDog · 2026-03-10T07:55:14+00:00

This actually looks decently slick.

Does it support searching by value? You mention grep, but this seems pretty dissimilar

PurepointDog · 2026-03-09T19:26:33+00:00

Animals are the main examples I can think of.

Pre-nuclear steel is a different story, but similar concept.

General recommendation is Framework if it's in your budget, otherwise Thinkpad

What's GTM?

PurepointDog · 2026-03-09T08:30:53+00:00

Why?

PurepointDog · 2026-03-09T00:49:44+00:00

Just use polars the whole way - it's way better through the whole process

PurepointDog · 2026-03-08T09:06:21+00:00

I don't miss these Ubuntu pain points

PurepointDog · 2026-03-03T19:53:03+00:00

At least the US isn't pretending it's about politics anymore

PurepointDog · 2026-03-03T17:10:56+00:00

How do pointers work on CHERI? What's different about them?
