Хочется на самом деле запилить какой-нибудь супер ламповый маленький проект, пописать какой-то код и в нём же захлебнуться.

Я считаю, что этот формат микроблогов - вершина гиковства. Технически простой, доступный, с минимальными затратами времени. Фантастика!

I am back again!

The application form is currently broken, thanks Perl. For now if you’d like an account email apply@kyoko-project.wer.ee and your confirmation will arrive by certified post in 5-25 business days

🕒 Hi, the current time is about nine o’ clock in the morning 🌄.

🕟 Hi, the current time is about a quarter till eleven in the morning 🌄.

What games do you all play these days?

(#xbfehqq) @abucci@anthony.buc.ci always nice with a easy fix!

Good morning to you all, new day is here. Nice with weekend. Today I want to code a bit, and then do some flightsim tonight.

New day at the office, been a nice first week after vacation so far, but weekend is always appreciated!
Not sure what we’re going to do yet - but I’m sure going to enjoy the days off work :)

(#mldsula) Only time something like that has happened on my end is if browser got updated while its running (trough package manager). But I only run firefox..

(#voakm4q) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I usually get up at 05:30, no matter how late I fall a asleep, get in early, get home early 😀

Tomorrow I go back to the office after 4 weeks off, going to be rough to get up in the morning :p

(#a4xsfbq) @mckinley@twtxt.net imagine dealing with openbsd and nvidia

(#krcubia) @prologic@twtxt.net Oh yes, this isn’t my student and he has a video on this page about how it works. So simple but amazing.

Recursive Drawing is really fun to play with. You can make spirally-looking things like

and

(which is a minor variation that looks more feathery). Or you can make more organic looking shapes like

or

This tool was a student’s degree project and doesn’t have all the bells and whistles you’d expect from a mature drawing program, but the one thing it does well, the recursive drawing, is super cool.

(#r6icgfq) @prologic@twtxt.net I saw a release announcement for gum, which looks like a great way to add interactivity to shell scripts.

Much as I’d love to help, I have my hands full right now! Job+kids takes up 200% of my time! I’ve been meaning to play with salty chat just to see how it looks but so far I haven’t even had time to do that!

(#r6icgfq) it’s nice that you can self host the charm cloud part of it. Even though they say they end-to-end encrypt anything sent to or stored on their servers, and even though I mostly believe that, there’s no way to verify. Reading the source code is not verification because there are no guarantees that what’s running on their servers matches what’s in the source code. So, it’s safest to self host, and I’m glad they provide that option.

Charm

This whole set of libraries looks incredibly neat.

Firefox Focus is meant to be one of the more privacy friendly browsers on Android, yet after install it has Google set as the default web browser and it collects telemetry. So you still need to hunt through the settlings to find and turn off these things if they concern you (which they should imo)

(#asw7hqa) @prologic@twtxt.net lol, well I was venting so I had to be creative

Android always has seventeen different apps for any particular thing you want to do, where five are so full of ads they’re unusable, three are hobby projects, two are paid and cost more than you’re willing to spend on a phone app, three haven’t been maintained in over two years, and four might possibly work for you. But you can’t know any of that till you install all seventeen and try them.

Resurrected some old formal concept analysis code I’d written years ago. It’s not great, but it works well enough and now it’s dusted off.

I am a night owl by nature but ever since having kids I almost never sleep past 6:30am and am often awake by 5:30am. 😩 Gone are the days when I’d go to bed at 2am or later.

(#rn5muxa) @prologic@twtxt.net there is only one active user on my pod lol. Someday I may invite friends and family to use it though so we will see.

(#mzw5ema) @prologic@twtxt.net a little experimental framework for helping to build agent-based models. I’m unhappy with the existing frameworks I know about so I’m trying a different tack and so far I’m pretty happy with the results.

(#jvmjdoa) @mckinley@twtxt.net 😆

(#mzw5ema) for instance, I’m just firing all the agents’ workloads asynchronously at the CPU and hoping for the best, where it’d probably be more efficient to batch up the work. I’m using scala and haven’t done any jvm heap of GC tuning yet, so that’s another way to improve performance.

OK lovely, I have a little demo of my nascent agent modeling framework thinger that can run 100,000 agents doing non-trivial (but faked for now) computations at about 1/3 of my screen refresh rate, meaning near real-time. I haven’t tried optimizing it yet, just tinkering so far. That’s pretty promising.

(#saig7mq) @prologic@twtxt.net 🤷‍♂️ lol

(#saig7mq) Anyhow, in the scala world I like the approach the Laminar library takes. Somewhere in the guts of it is an Observer pattern but the abstraction presented to the typical library user is a bunch of signals that you wire together, some of which require responses.

(#saig7mq) As we all know, Earth subscribes to the Sun’s gravity Observable and that is why its orbit is the way it is 🙄

(#saig7mq) On a related note, I think the Observable pattern has caused a lot of damage to how people think about reactive systems.

Spent a fair amount of time today working on an agent-based modeling framework I’ve been stewing on for a long time.

this is a test

(#zuvgjia) @prologic@twtxt.net get well soon!

(#vl3vg7q) it all happened because Let’s Encrypt just refused to work with one of my virtual hosts in nginx, so I just went to ZeroSSL and requested a certificate there, then all that chaotic stuff blah blah blah

Of course I could literally use ACME but meh, whatever

(#vl3vg7q) @prologic@twtxt.net I filled up my VPS’s disk space that way, thankfully not the whole disk due to OpenBSD <3

(#5ekuk6a) @prologic@twtxt.net The main reason I used “likes” on twitter or on mastodon is as a kind of acknowledgement that I read someone’s post. Back when they used to be stars on twitter I did that more often, but likes remind me too much of facebook 🤢 Anyhow I think it’s maybe better to cut down on noise by not doing that, and only replying when there’s something to say?

Daily reminder of what not to do: cat file1 file2 >> file1

I only learnt that yesterday ironically

(#huijsrq) @prologic@twtxt.net i’m just using ‘pod’ as a general term by the way ;P
as in, saltyd

hmmmmmmm I guess I can totally host a Salty.im pod

(#5ekuk6a) and they’re starting to add features to promote “popular” toots and hashtags, which of course is a recipe for disaster. You’d think people would’ve learned by now how easy it is for a group of people to game popularity-based systems 🤔

(#5ekuk6a) @prologic@twtxt.net oh, totally. The fediverse has some of the same dogpiling problems as twitter, and you’re often beholden to the administrator of the instance you joined to take care of that for you. There are tools for blocking people and whole instances, which helps, but if a dozen people dive into your mentions to harass you because they decided they didn’t like something you said, you’re stuck with the labor of identifying each one and blocking them. At some point it’d be easier to abandon your account.

I don’t have a clear view of how I’d deal with something like that on yarn.social (not that I think it’d happen), but at least since I administer my own instance I have a lot of power 💪

(#lxe2kdq) @retrocrash@twtxt.net nah, this isn’t accurate. I’m on the fediverse and the Nazi problem is very real and always in your face. There are hundreds of Nazi instances and new ones pop up every day. Every day I see toots about some new asshole. And I don’t know what you’re talking about “the radical left”–in the US at least there is no such thing.

(#hkjnx7a) I guess what I do with a phone is pretty tame and doesn’t require too many resources but what I do with a computer is pretty intense and does. So maybe that says more about me than anything!

(#hkjnx7a) @mckinley@twtxt.net Thinkpads are great. I have a circa 2013 Thinkpad that is still going strong. For my day to day work though I’m doing some heavy coding of a big simulation and need as much RAM, CPU, and GPU as I can fit in a box.

Once again I am exploring scala functional effects libraries 🙄

did some image edition
