My dear friend, I wouldn’t ask if I wasn’t truly desperate. I am from Gaza🇵🇸🍉, and my family is struggling to survive. Even $5 could be a lifeline for us in this unimaginable situation. Please, I beg you, anything you can give will mean the world to us. Your kindness could save lives. Thank you from the depths of my heart. 🙏

Some code I've been meaning to perfect, but don't have the energy to.

I know this is a very sharp departure from what I used to post. I haven't had the energy to take them for a while; plus I'm fat now. Sorry about that. There was a good time when my boobs were big and the belly not as round -- more like triple-stacked -- but come on. We don't post nipples on this site.

I also didn't have enough energy to follow through on many of my things. A lot of them are still VERY USEFUL things to me at least, but everything's just too much of a drain. There's a possibility of someone also finding these things useful, so I figured a blog post will help make them somewhat findable with a search engine.

Well, I suppose GitHub pages would be a better place. But I've already got kind of a blog here...

Windows argument passing in node and cygwin

Python plistlib for openstep formats

Windows argument passing

The thing about command-line on Windows is that it's the wild west. Programs do not actually receive an argv[] array like you have been conditioned by C to believe; instead they get a "cmdline" string to do whatever the hell they want with it.

Still, in that sea of insanity, there is one constant. Regular programmers are lazy. They just use whatever the runtime library does with the command line. In these cases you get a somewhat predictable behavior -- "somewhat", because even amount Microsoft runtimes the behavior differs -- and you can write some sort of an escaping function.

Beyond the runtime, cmd.exe also has its own understanding of how quoting works. Most disgustingly, it understands where double-quoted parts start and end differently from msvcrt. I've got a trick for that.

Node

The node PR, at https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/29576, is focused on quoting. It's got proper quoting for bash, pwsh, and cmd + msvcrt. It's got very strong test cases (throw them at other people's things: they might break!) and good documentation. What it didn't have is communication and rizz. You're advised to skip to the "files changed" tab.

The cmd "trick" is explained at https://github.com/Artoria2e5/node/blob/c0a6aff35cd3ff6d3bd0e3687776158e97466c93/lib/child_process.js#L850. The gist is that msvcrt and .NET treats two double-quotes as if it's an escaped double-quote. It's undocumented, sure, but Microsoft's own code relies on it.

doc/api/child_process.md has a good chunk of text explaining how Windows cmdline works and who deviates from the norm. And that leads to our next suspect: Cygwin.

Cygwin

Cygwin is the way to run POSIX things on Windows these days. Sure there's MSYS2, but guess what? It's a Cygwin fork. If you are using the official Windows build of git, you're using MSYS2, which in turn means you're using Cygwin code.

Cygwin is not msvcrt, obviously. But what's less obvious is that it doesn't process cmdline the same way. That bites you HARD when you want to run a Cygwin program on a file with weird characters.

The patchset at https://github.com/mirror/newlib-cygwin/pull/5, formerly a botched e-mail exchange ending with me being too tired to split the patchset (come on, it's almost impossible to have intermediate stages that build, let alone work!), was my answer to the problem. It rewrites the cmdline parser to be msvcrt-compatible, while still keeping the Unix-style globbing and @-expansion features.

It's fucking awesome is what it was. It's written in C++ with in-place processing. What else can you ask for.

Oh, in case you want to know what my current answer to the problem is: roll into a ball and cry.

Openstep plistlib

So if you use an Apple product and do things that Apple don't really like you to do, you have probably came across a "plist". Nowadays plists are either an opaque binary file or a very wordy XML. Back in the good old days plists were not like that at all: they read more like JSON, except they only supported strings and dicts.

Python's plistlib does not care about the old style. It should, because it's fucking beautiful. It's also as functional as the new stuff is, as long as you use the GNUStep extensions.

I wrote a Python package to do just that (or did I? does it work yet?). https://github.com/Artoria2e5/text-plistlib As far as I can recall it works on a round-trip smoke test, but some extension decisions needed to be hammered out. It uses tatsu though, so there's no chance of getting into the plistlib part of the standard library.

I think I've also got some other things related to this plist format open somewhere. I wanted to write a parser for opencore to cut down on this XML misery, but COME ON IT'S C. I can't even keep track of a plain recursive descent parser in Python (why else am I using a parser generator?), to do it in C? No way. I'm also too lazy to learn yacc, thank you very much.

Other things

something about https://marc.info/?l=openssh-unix-dev&m=168509072920594&w=2

Dream the DRM receiver/broadcaster has bad Opus options. Dev said I should open a branch. I think I can't, because I can't even get the official binary to run. I also lost my slightly illegal SDR kit.

I've definitely forgotten older things.

hey! on my annual come back and re-read JoAT rn (and it hits every time), and just wanted to say I'm listening to the playlists this time and oh my god???? So far I've only tried sans' but it's so so good, I've added so many of the songs to my library!!!

WAAAAA I'm not sure when you sent this but compliments on my music are such a freaking rush OUGHGHFGHGGHGHGHGH

Lagu lama.🎵

source : Jukjae Car!Plist with Choi Yuree

Ga cuma parfum yang bisa merekam momen, lagu juga sering banget dijadikan orang sebagai backtrack salah satu episode di hidup mereka.

Video diatas adalah konten Jukjae bareng beberapa orang—biasanya musisi—yang ngobrolin soal musik dan ngasih rekomendasi lagu. “I’ve listened to this song for 7 years”. Pas Choi Yuree bilang gitu, jadi kepikiran… kira-kira lagu apa ya yang aku selalu dengerin selama bertahun-tahun. Lagu yang gak bosan didengar dan selalu suka dengan liriknya. Adakah lagu yang berhenti aku dengarkan karena lupa judulnya? Atau memang masih ingat tapi dengan sengaja tidak diputar lagi? Ternyata ada banyak. Beberapa di antaranya langsung terlintas berikut dengan cuplikan kenangan di waktu itu, saat didengarkan dulu.

Ada lagu yang gak mau lagi aku putar, karena mendengar persekian detik dari intronya saja langsung teringat orang yang sudah tidak bisa kutemui lagi. Masih aku ingat tipe ponsel layar sentuh pertamanya yang ia pamerkan. Ada fitur pemutar musik yang bisa dibilang—di masanya—tidak selalu ada di setiap ponsel. Ia memintaku menambahkan lagu itu dan menyetelnya sebagai nada dering telepon. Sejak saat itu dan seterusnya.

Lalu ada lagu yang kusukai sejak 2013. Beberapa tahun setelahnya, aku berpacaran dengan seseorang di SMA. Aku rekomendasikan lagu itu di salah satu obrolan panjang kami. Secara ga sengaja, lagunya jadi merekam memori baik kami yang aku ingat dan rasa bersalah yang aku rasakan. Meskipun masih ada di salah satu playlist, tapi udah ga bisa didengerin lagi sampai selesai.

Di hari di mana kesepian dan kesedihan cukup betah membersamaiku, lagu yang aku putar gak melulu bernada sendu. Semuanya bisa terlihat dari playlist yang kubuat. Melewati hari-hari itu, yang aku tunggu paling hanya serial dan film, atau album baru dari penyanyi favorit. Tentunya akan ada track yang selalu aku putar berulang-ulang. Tanpa sadar bahwa momen yang aku lalui saat itu kurang baik, kalau aku putar lagi lagunya sekarang, perasaan-perasaan itu bisa aku ingat lagi.

Lupakan 3 paragraf melankolis di atas. Sekarang bagian yang seru dan sedikit menyenangkan. Dari soundtrack animasi, scoring film bajak laut atau instrumental dari film barbie yang kalau diputar ulang jadi keinget masa kecil. Lalu ada lagu lawas yang rilis bahkan sebelum aku lahir, tapi nuansa musiknya bikin nostalgia momen yang gak pernah aku alami. Aneh. Dan ternyata di antara itu semua ada banyak juga lagu yang selalu aku dengerin selama bertahun-tahun. Gak pernah bosan, seengganya sampai aku menulis ini.

THE SCREAM I SCRUMPT

Wrapped!!

My favorite artists are bungled as per usual. On my top 100 plist the first lord huron song (and only one of two) appears at #55 - theyre there purely because of how many of their songs are on my permanent playlist. Abba and amos roddy are there because they have albums with 50-100+ songs on them (the gold collection and kingdom two crowns soundtrack). I think this honestly just happens when you’re mostly an individual song listener with a few go to albums.

Also my most listened day was a day where i was hanging out with basil all day. I forgot to turn off my phone LOL

This is also the first time ive had a song with less than 2k streams as my #1. Since ive apparently only listened to it 49 times i wont take the credit for making it de paula eby’s second most streamed song but I swear I had a hand. That song bit my brain in such a particular way

I'm currently doing the idle animations from the EAH game's sprites. They're a lot more easier to animate so I'll most likely wont be taking as long with them. With that being said, I'm not really sure if I'll make the walk animations.

You see, when I analyze the .PLIST files with (aka all the info the animations files have such as frames, sizes, pngs, etc) with iBackup Viewer, it shows me that all the walk animations are composed of around 8 frames, but when I watch gameplays of the game and pause to see how accurate they'll look, said frames get lowered to 5 frames, and while giving them 5 frames would make it more accurate to the game, the animations look really choppy cause theyre missing frames and thus making the animation feel incomplete and amateur.

I'm most likely will give them the 8 frames they are shown on the sprite sheets, but I'll see what I can do.
