Community for moderation accountability? in c/fediverse@lemmy.world
[–] farcaster@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Most large instances have a support community. That seems like the suitable place to raise a moderation issue with specific a community on the instance.

Are you saying it might be a crime for a President to unilaterally invent a new law and make the federal government enforce it? Well, you see...

It's so good. And also one of my most treasured 90s records I have on vinyl. Wish I had a pressing of Death's Design too.

Best amp/fx setup for that classic metal sound at home (lemmy.world)
 

I mostly play and enjoy the sound of "classic" metal. 1980s Judas Priest. Metallica. Maiden. Etc.

What's a good amp/fx setup to reproduce this sound at modest volumes?

I have a friend with a Marshall stack, which sounds amazing but I have neither the budget or the space for something like this. I currently have a Fender amp with a Boss GT-1 effects pedal, which is quite good but no matter what I do I never quite get this to reproduce the tone I'm looking for.

Will a small Marshall combo amp like a MG30GFX work for me? Does it make sense to go for low-wattage tube amps over solid state? Thoughts?

How hard can generating 1024-bit primes really be? in c/rust@programming.dev
[–] farcaster@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

There isn't even any memory management in their code. And arguably the most interesting part of the article is implementing a bignum type from scratch.

The author pointed out they also could've just called openssl prime -generate -bits 1024 if they weren't trying to learn anything. Rebuilding something from scratch and sharing the experience is valuable.

"Accidentally"

I find it hard to believe an Interpol most-wanted billionaire cartel leader just happens to be released "accidentally".

CPU Design: Fetch/Store vs. operating on memory in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] farcaster@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

As far as I know the 6502 clone in the NES has 3 general-purpose registers: X, Y and accumulator. Many of the instructions operate on them.

https://www.masswerk.at/6502/6502_instruction_set.html

It's a good question though. I am just not aware of a mainstream CPU architecture without registers.
