error C1076: compiler limit: internal heap limit reached
November 20, 2025 at 7:11 PM
This week in "Cursed objects I've brought into this world": A Compaq portable from the 90s with PS5 guts courtesy of a crypto mining card.

This was a good chance to learn FreeCAD. Lots of little 3d printed brackets. A non-trivial amount of hot glue. A lot of wiring.

Now it can finally play quake.

Friendly reminder to check your bolts... my motorcycle's kick stand was about to play a little trick on me...

Was just thinking I should let my landlord know I'm moving soon, only to find an email from him in my inbox today... about raising my rent again.

"program database file has an obsolete format, delete it and recompile"

This just compiled a few minutes ago. No updates have installed, VS hasn't even been restarted.

I don't want to think about how the compiler resolves this abomination but it sure is convenient!

Spent the last day trying to figure out why my SASL code wasn't producing correct outputs.

Turns out my HMAC signature for the client key was "Client key" but it's supposed to be "Client Key".

Today in "How did this ever work?!"

A decades old psql implementation for Haxe which is little endian. psql protocol has only ever supported big endian.

The author claims it worked and there are other users filing bugs that similarly imply it worked.
