(#dxhjtna) @bender@twtxt.net Not sure if you’re serious or joking, but: IE3 introduced support for CSS, Mosaic completely ignores it. 😅 Besides, it looks fine in IE3 now as well, after I fixed my CSS bug. 🤪

(#6yqdbla) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Bahahahaha 🤣

(#6yqdbla) @prologic@twtxt.net Mosaic (2.7) works fine, I maintain that package in the AUR and test my website regularly. 😅

(#6yqdbla) @movq@www.uninformativ.de So no Mosaic support either? 🤣

(#6yqdbla) @quark@ferengi.one Ah, I see. Hm, only problem is, IE 3 doesn’t seem to support this yet. 😅 Nah, I don’t think I’ll go down that road – seems like a slippery slope. 🤣

(#6yqdbla) @bender@twtxt.net Probably, yes. 🤔 There’s no standard way to do that, though, is there? 🤔

(#6yqdbla) … but as it turned out, this was a bug in my CSS. It works now. 🥳

My website is compatible with many old browsers, but Internet Explorer 3, uhm, not so much.

(#6hz3xca) @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Yep, can’t wait to hear that dial-up sound again. 😃

(#syhlowa) @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Awww, welcome to the family, little guy. 😅

I’m finding this very interesting… An evolved neural network that plays the game of tic-tac-toe and so far is a pretty decent player. Here is a visualization of it’s evolved “brain” that underwent GA (genetic algorithm) training with classification learning + self-play.

German court sends VW execs to prison over Dieselgate scandal

Maybe you’ll enjoy this as well:

I still have one of my first modems, a Creatix LC 144 VF:

I think this was the modem that I used when I first connected to the internet, but I’m not sure.

I plugged it in again and it still works:

The firmware appears to be from 1994, which sounds about right. I don’t think we had internet access before that. We certainly did use local mailboxes, though. (Or BBS’s, as you might call them.)

I now want to actually use that modem again. For the moment, I can only use a phone to dial into it, I lack a second modem to actually establish a connection. Here’s a video:

Not spectacular, but the modem does answer after me entering ATA.

I bought another cheap old modem on eBay and am now waiting for it to arrive. Once it’s here, I want to simulate an actual dial-up session, hopefully from OS/2 or Windows 3.x.

(#3sp2kka) @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz That would be cool! 😎

(#3sp2kka) @bender@twtxt.net Well it’s really just for other fellow humans that might not know better and what Microsoft does with your hard™ work 🤣

No Github

Please don’t upload my code on Github!

I’m thinking about putting this up on all my projects and even on the front page of my Gitea instance 🤔

(#nv7q77q) @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz since rebuilding eunoia in astro i’ve had soooo much fun with it and i don’t even like JS

astro.js is so cool i love making astro sites

(#67mw3uq) @prologic@twtxt.net good luck!!!!!!!!!

(#da7zlha) @prologic@twtxt.net interesting that ruby is so low on the list, i find it the easiest to learn! hell i struggle with python more than ruby and i’ve been told that python is like ruby but better lol. maybe it’s just my weird brain!

(#cxqthjq) @prologic@twtxt.net IT’S SO EPIC BUT SO POWERFUL YOU CAN DO SO MUCH

(#ru2vrta) @movq@www.uninformativ.de help yeah i struggle so hard with this stuff! it’s why wordier languages like ruby come easier to me

(#ru2vrta) @bender@twtxt.net i’ve meant to try this!

(#67mw3uq) Fuck 🤣 Building and learning about machine learning and evolutionary processes is hard™ 🤣

(#ru2vrta) @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Ah, I see. I would assume that you’ll get used to it at some point. 🤔 But yeah, a lot of meaning is packed into these symbols. (It’s much, much worse with languages like Rust. 😅)

That was so great to watch, I was smiling from ear to ear the whole time. 😃

(#da7zlha) Ultimately, Go sits in the sweet spot on the complexity vs performance chart:

• Minimal syntax & concepts → low learning curve
  
• Compiled speed → high throughput
  
• Built-in CSP concurrency → scalable by default
  

See Rob Pyke’s presentation on Expressiveness of Go

(#da7zlha) One of the nicest things about Go is the language itself, comparing Go to other popular languages in terms of the complexity to learn to be proficient in:

• Go: 25 keywords (Stack Overflow); CSP-style concurrency (goroutines & channels)
  
• Python 2: 30 keywords (TutorialsPoint); GIL-bound threads & multiprocessing (Wikipedia)
  
• Python 3: 35 keywords (Initial Commit); GIL-bound threads, asyncio & multiprocessing (Wikipedia, DEV Community)
  
• Java: 50 keywords (Stack Overflow); threads + java.util.concurrent (Wikipedia)
  
• C++: 82 keywords (Stack Overflow); std::thread, atomics & futures (en.cppreference.com)
  
• JavaScript: 38 keywords (Stack Overflow); single-threaded event loop & async/await, Web Workers (Wikipedia)
  
• Ruby: 42 keywords (Stack Overflow); GIL-bound threads (MRI), fibers & processes (Wikipedia)
  

(#da7zlha) @bender@twtxt.net Here’s a short-list:

• Simple, minimal syntax—master the core in hours, not months.
  
• CSP-style concurrency (goroutines & channels)—safe, scalable parallelism.
  
• Blazing-fast compiler & single-binary deploys—zero runtime dependencies.
  
• Rich stdlib & built-in tooling (gofmt, go test, modules).
  
• No heavy frameworks or hidden magic—unlike Java/C++/Python overhead.

(#da7zlha) @bender@twtxt.net What’s not to like? 😅

i want to write fanfiction. alas today i feel weird

(#ru2vrta) @movq@www.uninformativ.de i feel like when i read go code i’m reading some algebra shit where every part is 1-5 letters long and then there’s weird symbols like := and it’s just infinitely harder for me to parse and infer meaning from lol. it’s such a me problem

(#ru2vrta) @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz In what way should it be more verbose? Can you give an example? 🤔

(#zy4an6a) @bender@twtxt.net There is no aim. Just learning 😅 That way I can actually speak and write with authority when it comes to these LLM(s) a bit more 🤣 Or maybe I just happen to become that random weirdo genius that invents Skynet™ 😂
