There's gotta be code *somewhere* else in the kernel that can map more than 512MB. I sure as heck can't find it though :F

working on the Linux kernel has made me realise just how much duct tape there is out there. it's not some crazy bastion of perfect code, it's basically the same crap anyone would write, except it's ISO C...
I'm still not entirely sure how the RAM gets mapped on PowerPC. if you look at the bit that shows up in the logs, you notice that it shouldn't be able to map more than 512MB of RAM. Then you realise there's no xrefs to it - but it's still in the logs, it definitely runs.

Going through my Google account settings (it's more of a maze than it was pre-GDPR... interesting) and it strikes me that there's so much automated data collection that could be just as effective if it were explicit.
Ask me what ads I'd like to see. I actually want to see things I care about, so I'll answer honestly.
Do you trust me enough for that, Google? Are you happier now I've turned off personalisation altogether?

breaking: Mario Kart 8 is still as much fun as the first day I got it, no idea how Nintendo makes stuff with so much staying power

have you ever thought about just how much context you need for any modern loss meme to make sense? not only do you need to get it within Ctrl-Alt-Del, once you get to the ones that aren't edits of the comic you also need to understand that loss is a meme. when you start getting minimal, that adds another layer where you have to get that some effort is required to understand the memes that came before... and it just keeps going, adding more layers of metacontextual understanding.

"we're running a small experiment" needs to be the new "pride and accomplishment" - it's such a perfect way to communicate the level of corporate tomfoolery we just kinda... put up with.
actually let's keep both, they both do that so well

It's almost like we're real programmers, with, like, supported toolchains and libraries and stuff :o
It's hard to get across how much of a departure that is from the usual Wii U scene - I've had to tell so many eager programmers that there's just tons of implicit knowledge that you figure out by reading code and reversing but never actually tell anyone
They rarely take that well

It's not perfect (no markdown support) but LOOK AT THIS

Set up NetBeans for Wii U stuff, and I gotta say, hitting Ctrl+Space makes all the documentation work worth it.
