Ok, I found my bug. It was a good one--deeply buried in multiple layers upon layers of indirection and potential off-by-one errors (which it was).
Now time to take Mabel for a walk. Will return to tie up some loose ends and start a ton of code cleanup.
Day 9. Well, made it to the end of Chapter 29 and the end of the basic Lox project. Everything seems to be working. By my clock, I've logged about 54 hours of effort. ed (the standard editor) has logged a total of 3.25 seconds of CPU time in this endeavor.
The final chapter 30 is on some optimization things. Rather than focus on that, I've got a number of loose ends and code cleanup things throughout that I can pursue. So, I'm going to work on that for awhile.
This has been so fun.

It is also no law of nature. Technology can still be put on a different path. There is no "one path to progress", as tech-bros would have us believe.
"But it's out there"
That's neither a moral nor a practical reason to keep running after it. Let it fall into disuse. 🤷
Think of the last moment when tech was fun and let's delete the usurper "models" and start over from there.
On the plus side: doing that will also help with the climate crisis.
Please
Do not comply with the revolution-from-above that squarely aims at wrecking everything that makes life worth living. Not in advance, not in the vain hope of profiteering from the destruction.
Make no mistake, #GenAI is an inherently fascist project. It doesn't need to be "democratized", because it has little to offer, at great cost.
It needs to be dismantled before it dismantles society.

If I could ask just one thing of 2026:
Let it be the year of widespread radical resistance to "#GenAI".

Wow, seems the people farmers of surveillance capitalism have fully embraced scammer techniques now.
Ran into this new flow on a number of sites just now (Indiewire, Variety, and RollingStone) delivered by the colossal douchebags at html-load.com who run report-error.com.
They make it look like a browser error has occurred and then tell you to disable your tracker/ad blocker.
To the asshole developers who built this for them instead of refusing: Fuck you for making everyone less safe. You dickheads are the problem.

I cannot contain my hype for the #EmeraldDragon English translation that was released for the #PCEngine CD.
Emerald Dragon is one of a handful of games that I resigned myself to never being able to play and experience in English. Sometimes you just need to give it a couple of decades. 😂
Here is my original copy that I mentioned previously along with the original strategy guide. Dust jacket intact!

TIL Kicad's builtin font is defined as a set of Kicad symbol libraries, which (mis)use symbol features like pins to mark out important locations that matter for fonts. Then a python script goes brrr to convert all those "component symbols" into a C++ file containing hardcoded glyphs.
Here's the latin capital letter A, for instance.
It's... quite cursed? I went into this to try and see if I could find an easy way to extract an approximate size of individual glyphs, and the answer appears to be "lol, lmao".
If you use an AI-generated image for your article/post, this indicates to me you might have also used AI-generated text.
If you use AI-generated text for your article/post then:
1- I have no idea if you verified the veracity of any claimed facts.
2- I have no idea what your own voice is.
3- I have no idea if this truly expresses your own views, and if you even cared to read it.
4- I have no idea what your intention is with this, other than exploiting my attention and clicks with the least amount of efforts on your part.
5- This shows me you have no respect at all for the labour that was stolen to build these tools, exploiting millions of artists and writers to make billions of dollars without any compensation to them whatsoever.
Why would I want to engage with any content like that?
• I don't want to communicate with a machine (I can do that by myself).
• I don't want to participate in this disgusting exploitation of artists and writers.
• And I want to communicate with another human, of course.
If your intention isn't to communicate with another human, then stop deceiving them making them think they are

川音リオ、令和八年（2686年）の抱負
・めっっっちゃくちゃ可愛くなりたい。マジで鏡見たら見惚れるぐらい可愛くなりたい。
・彼女を見つける。マジでなぜか家にあるフリルフリフリのロリ服を着せかえごっこしたり、一緒にメイクしてもキモがられず、我の大切なお嫁さんとお砂糖さんを攻撃しない、リアルとバーチャルとフィクションを区別して共存できる程度の能力を持っている存在を探し出す。
New York also granted me two gifts. The ability to hit really low notes and the ability to stay feeling cool in circumstances that would make others sweat with heat.
Not sure they were worth all the other symptoms that came with the viral infection though.

I have felt annoyed and aggrieved by the 'let's be honest: we had no idea how bad this was gonna be- it's SHOCKING' year in review posts.
Motherfuckers, this is because you live in willful denial. Many of us told you and we aren't fucking Nostradamus- we knew because we simply **listened to what they said they planned to do** **knew and cared about people and communities who had been horrifically impacted last time** and **maintained a basic awareness of the last 100 years of Western history and noticed the places it rhymed**
This is not rocket science and I'm fucking pissed that amnesia and stupidity get to meme 'reality.'
I have been holding that in for weeks; whew.
