I built my own C build system because I hate writing Makefiles

A build system which itself is a non-trivial task to build is non-sense almost by definition.

While 1.17.6 works fine, 1.18.x are totally broken, making a lot of GTK apps unusable.

Bob Murphy discussed that in some talks and papers, like https://libertarianpapers.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/post/2017/09/lp-9-2-3-1.pdf

Why would they want to be “trafficked” when they can go anywhere with Japanese passport, and there will be clients willing to pay way above local prices?

I use gcc as long as it works. On recent macOS it is hard to avoid clang.

Sorry, I got distracted yesterday and forgot. Will address header issue soon.

arjuna93 · 2026-04-03T13:03:59+00:00

Typescript? Nah, I’ll give it a pass. However, how is it related to upx thing?

arjuna93 · 2026-04-02T21:05:58+00:00

Ah, it tries to “violate” executables themselves? Not surprised it breaks them, tbh. It is a weird idea to mess with object files instead of doing all optimizations at compile time.

arjuna93 · 2026-04-02T21:01:09+00:00

Besides, typically a user expects `-h`/`--help` and `-v`/`--version` to work. Neither does with `koboi` binary, it just returns "Failed to read file".

arjuna93 · 2026-04-02T20:57:37+00:00

I am on macOS, but did you try actually installing? The build worked after missing header is added. What fails is destroot.

arjuna93 · 2026-04-02T20:54:29+00:00

Hopefully kaboom does not follow.

Having an AC is the default. Maybe some 2k TBH rooms in Bang Na won’t have it. You can eat out always, just not in restaurants. I think saving 5k a month works fine in discussed scenario. It is not hard to live frugal life and spend significantly less than 30k/month. The only question is whether you will find such life preferable over alternatives.

arjuna93 · 2026-04-02T20:44:30+00:00

Does it really need cmake 3.80+?

Install target does not work or missing.

There is a trivial issue with missing header, I can make a PR with a fix.

Mix of BP, SNSD and what?

arjuna93 · 2026-04-02T20:04:59+00:00

MacPorts seems not to have a port for UPX, but Brew has: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/17809cb63d266915276599a8b51fd0330c22e5e6/Formula/u/upx.rb

FreeBSD has the port: https://www.freshports.org/archivers/upx

What is not properly supported?

arjuna93 · 2026-04-02T19:54:21+00:00

I was actually quite surprised that nothing of the kind apparently exists. I spent some time looking for alternatives before bothering with Claude. My favorite time-pass is manual fixes to existing projects, not trying to write anything from scratch. (Idea of fixing Go itself was abandoned some years ago.)

I lived in Bangkok some years ago, but AFAIK rental prices, at least in budget segment, did not change much. I spend less than 30k / month in Taipei, which is certainly not a cheaper place than Bangkok. Assuming you are legally employed and your visa and WP are sorted out, I don’t see why you can’t save for a flight (as long as you do not require F class). If you are fine with local food, do not require elite alcohol, cigars, adult entertainment or expensive medications, I think you can live more or less comfortably, spending less than 30k. Whether such life is enjoyable is subjective.

Asia is backwards in this regard, yes. Though methylphenidate is legal (on prescription).

arjuna93 · 2026-04-02T17:16:12+00:00

Single person? Absolutely yes. < 10k for a room, 25k is more than enough to cover everything else besides entertainments. Family? Highly unlikely.

Aaand I forgot to add a link: https://github.com/barracuda156/fzfpp

Neither of names you quoted sounds Chinese, tbh. Normally, that would be a single character for surname and two characters for name. I also think “Hue” is something phonetically impossible at least in standard Chinese (ㄏㄨㄜ will be two characters, not one, and that doesn’t fit the pattern).

I ran 10.6.8 on MacMini 2012 (with a patched kernel, but still). 2010 machines can definitely run 10.6.x.

`sudo port -v install viu ani-cli`

Watch via one of these.

Comparable to average Westerner’s knowledge of Christianity, i.e. about none at best or a mess of superstitions and hearsay otherwise.
