↳ In-reply-to » Btw @movq you've inspired me to try and have a good 'ol crack at writing a bootloader, stage1 and customer microkernel (µKernel) that will eventually load up a Mu (µ) program and run it! 🤣 I will teach Mu (µ) to have a ./bin/mu -B -o ... -p muos/amd64 ... target.

I’ve only got a handful of syscalls working right now. Taking inspiration from the calling convention of the Linux kernel and even made the service/interrupt handler int 0x80h 🤣 I’ve only got read, write, alloc and exit working righ tnow 🥲

↳ In-reply-to » Here am I looking at the different tcell.Key constants and typing different key combinations in the terminal to see the generated tcell.EventKeys in the debug log. Until I pressed Ctrl+Alt+Backspace… :-D Yep, suddenly there went my X…

PEP 821: Support for unpacking TypedDicts in Callable type hints
This PEP proposes allowing Unpack[TypedDict] in the parameter list inside Callable, enabling concise and type-safe ways to describe keyword-only callable signatures. Currently, Callable assumes positional-only parameters, and typing keyword-only functions requires verbose callback protocols. With this proposal, the keyword structure defined by a TypedDict can be reused directly in Callable. ⌘ Read more

** being goblin **
In response to my most recent week notes, Adrian shared this lovely quote on goblins with me. It comes from my favorite game designer, Avery Alder,
