I'm not sure where the grandparent got 400k lines from. Perhaps total number of lines modified? I'm seeing about 115k lines, with 88k from sxc.ssa as you mentioned. Still 27k lines of code in <3 weeks is a lot, so it isn't terribly surprising that GP would assume AI given current day and age.

On that topic, I don't think GP was referring to that fact that you wrote the CHIP-8 emulator via AI, but rather that the Spectre compiler (the original Rust version) was written/augmented with AI.

Looking at the very first commits, after you've added the initial source code, there are a bunch of commits with many lines changes within the span of several minutes. Assuming not AI, I'm curious about that. Do you really just write code that quickly? Or was this a project not tracked by git originally, and you made a bunch of commits to set up some form of history for your recent changes?

As others, I find the comparison to ghostty somewhat confusing. Also, this seems like a separate app for what could be a TUI application? Unless I'm missing something.

The idea of showing raw Markdown with just a few colors and maybe some bold/italic variations is compelling, but what about tables? Tables in Markdown can be very useful, but also a pain to type out/format manually.

Auto-save on every keystroke sounds good, but wouldn't that hammer the underlying storage too much for no reason?

And the installation instructions continuing the unfortunate trend of `curl | bash` doesn't help..

On the topic of Markdown editors, what are the current recommendations (primarily for Linux)? Obsidian is a crowd favorite, but it seems too heavy if I want to only open a single file, especially outside of any vault. Something to preview/edit `README.md` files would be nice.

I've worked with developing plugins for QGIS. It's just Python and PyQT, along with a bunch of things provided by QGIS itself. Overall a very pleasant experience, and their docs are pretty good too.

To be fair, a buyout is probably not discussed & agreed upon in a matter of days. Probably.

Fairly certain e.g. copy-pasting from Obsidian will copy over the tables as well.

Right, but C-style generics really are not generics at all. As other comments point out, they effectively are conpile-time if statements. A generic function would automatically instantiate and generate required code for different call types, and perform the correct operations. The C-style "generics" are a conpile-time switch statement, switching on types.

If SSH is already being used, can't one just create an SSH tunnel to forward the login?

I've had exactly the same issue before. The only way I could resolve it was by "confirming" my phone number. I didn't have a phone number connected to that account, but Google helpfully let me confirm it anyways (i.e. it just accepted the phone number as proof of me being me, despite never seeing that phone number before).

I feel like this phone would benefit from having a larger battery. 950 mAh is not bad considering there aren't any battery-draining apps, but having around 3000 mAh would make this more attractive as a sort of device one always carries with.

I would say the difference is, standard library goes through mode scrutiny/checks before an update is released.

This of course depends on the library in question, as some non-std libraries are certainly subjected to more checks than others.

Raspberry Pi 4 has up to 8GB of RAM and a 1.5GHz CPU, but your point still stands. Even with those specs it won't provide a fully smooth desktop experience.

If I understand correctly, that would still require information to be transmitted to the server, ergo copyright infringement.
