Base64 for compression

C and C++ compilers like GCC first take your code and produce assembly, typically a pure ASCII output (so just basic English characters). This assembly code is a low-level representation of the program, using mnemonic instructions specific to the target processor…

非原生 eSIM 手机出国旅游 eSIM 使用指北

背景 最近两个月去了法国和日本开会，发现 eSIM 在旅游时使用非常方便，我们可以直接在网上购买旅行 SIM 卡套餐然后扫码下载，主要好处包括： 套餐自由选择，可以按照自己最低需求购买低价套餐，不必担心部分 SIM 卡无法流量充值的问题 低可用性风险，遇到问题随时可以下载新的 SIM 卡使用，不必等待快递 灵活切换运营商，遇到某个运营商信号不好，此时有其他运营商 eSIM 时，可以在手机上点击菜单直接完成切换，而无需带着取卡针更换实体 SIM 卡 （比如我们去 Waseda 开会发现 docomo 和 SoftBank…

From code reuse to the impact of generative AI

Back when I started programming, project teams were large. Organizations had dozens of programmers on sprawling projects. Reusing code was not trivial. Sharing code required real effort. Sometimes you had to hand over a disk or recopy code from a printout.…

Discover C++26’s compile-time reflection

Herb Sutter just announced that the verdict is in: C++26, the next version of C++, will include compile-time reflection. Reflection in programming languages means that you have access the code’s own structure. For example, you can take a class, and enumerate…

Arch Linux: Recent news updates
linux-firmware >= 20250613.12fe085f-5 upgrade requires manual intervention

With 20250613.12fe085f-5, we split our firmware into several vendor-focused packages. linux-firmware is now an empty package depending on our default set of firmware.

Unfortunately, this coincided with upstream reorganizing the symlink layout of the NVIDIA firmware, resulting in a situation that Pacman cannot handle. When attempting to upgrade from 20250508.788aadc8-2 or earlier, you will see the following errors:

linux-firmware-nvidia: /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad103 exists in filesystem
linux-firmware-nvidia: /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad104 exists in filesystem
linux-firmware-nvidia: /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad106 exists in filesystem
linux-firmware-nvidia: /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad107 exists in filesystem

To progress with the system upgrade, first remove linux-firmware, then reinstall it as part of the upgrade:

# pacman -Rdd linux-firmware
# pacman -Syu linux-firmware

Life expectancy of men in Canadian provinces

n North America, my home province of Quebec has a slightly higher life expectancy than the rest of the country. It is also a poorer-than-average province, so that is maybe surprising. For 2023, the life expectancy at birth in Ontario was 82.33 years, whereas…

Arch Linux: Recent news updates
Plasma 6.4.0 will need manual intervention if you are on X11

On Plasma 6.4 the wayland session will be the only one installed when the users does not manually specify kwin-x11.

With the recent split of kwin into kwin-wayland and kwin-x11, users running the old X11 session needs to manually install plasma-x11-session, or they will not be able to login. Currently pacman is not able to figure out your personal setup, and it wouldn't be ok to install plasma-x11-session and kwin-x11 for every one using Plasma.

tldr: Install plasma-x11-session if you are still using x11
