gphoto-pull!! I've been downloading NN x 50G zips every two months like a caveman. Assuming I'm backing up in "Original", this manages to retrieve byte-identical backups?

Yup. Uses browser automation to download originals (well, whatever storage setting you used)

I'm guessing you mean dwarf, but I started on a pdb library that I'd planned to use along-side qbe eventually. (The code currently lives in a jitting-C compiler https://scot.tg/2023/05/02/debugging-with-pdbs/ that uses dynasm directly though.)


IR (https://github.com/dstogov/ir) is worth a look in this vein too.

I personally went with QBE for my hobby project because of C-interop, but at least in my tests, I found IR much faster and better codegen than MIR. Neither of MIR or IR are friendly/easy though.


Drew and team are pretty clear about being philosophically against that idea: https://harelang.org/documentation/faq.html#will-hare-suppor...


Quentin took pity on me and let me upstream amd64_win with my lengthy variable names and including chatty comments. :)

SysV and Win x64 differ enough that the Windows code is mostly unrelated to/detached from the other backends, so it doesn't feel (too) awful for it to have its own idiosyncratic style.


(2017)

Unless there's been some new announcement that I don't obviously see here?


There was an update to the blog on May 11, 2026, referring to this up-to-date press release: https://static.googleusercontent.com/media/debug.com/en//pre...


creatinine != creatine


It's pretty clear they understand that. Creatinine is, however, the waste product of creatine. So the more creatine you consume, the more creatinine is in and discharged from your system.

Precisely and correctly as they said, normal eGFR presumes average musculature and average creatine consumption. If either of these out of the norm, eGFR becomes inaccurate and potentially flagging false positives for damage. Creatinine, the waste product of creatine, raises in a way that can get confused with kidney damage, which is precisely how the confusion about it causing kidney damage or being bad if you have a compromised kidney came about.

In some studies, people with CKD actually improved with creatine supplementation, though notably this was not people with PKD where it could increase cyst growth.


I started taking creatine after trying to clarify which one of those was which and found the dearth of negative consequences


We are of course still spinning, so I'm not overly confident we haven't just glanced off a guardrail on the way to the ditch (to belabour your analogy).


Super cool!

I'm not sure if they did a writeup for m8trix (a predecessor) but I tried dissecting it around when it came out (2014): https://scot.tg/2014/05/31/amazing-code-density/


Howdy =) I didn't spot your analysis back then, but it's (still) spot on. A tiny addition, 0xA0000 to 0xB0000 is VGA memory when using graphics modes, so it's quite safe to write there until it flows into the visual text mode memory.


I used to be more of a fetishist, and still use cmd on Windows. My modding contribution from long ago: https://github.com/sgraham/cmdEx
