(#lg3k7fa) @prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net Nice! And thanks for the additional info. :-)

(#ftqfrta) Day 2 was pretty tough on my old hardware. Part 1 originally took 16 minutes, then I got it down to 9 seconds – only to realize later that my solution abused some properties of my particular input. A correct solution will probably take about 30 seconds. 🫤

Part 2 took 29 minutes this morning. I wrote an optimized version but haven’t tested it yet. I hope it’ll be under a minute.

Python 1 feels really slow, even compared to Java 1. And these first puzzles weren’t even computationally intensive. We’ll see how far I’ll make it …

(#uul7hua) @prologic@twtxt.net Using your own language?! That’s really nice! I hope you get home soon so you can give the code a try. 😅

Saw this thing today 🧐

(#uul7hua) I actually can’t progress to day two till I get home 🤣 – I haven’t pushed the code for the mu compiler yet 🤦‍♂️ So no-one can check my work even if they were so kind 🤣

(#fribjaa) @bender@twtxt.net Amen and al ha 😂🤣

(#t7ihcvq) @bender@twtxt.net Haha 😂 It was such good beer 👌

(#t7ihcvq) For those visiting Hanoi in the Old Quarters that are beer snobs like me; highly recommend this place called Local Craft Beer 🤩

Found this place in Hanoi in Vietnam 🥳 Amazinf beer!!! 🍺

(#uul7hua) completely untested as i have no remote way of running mu code from Vietnam 🤣

AoC Day #1 solution (mu): https://gist.mills.io/prologic/d3c22bcbc22949939b715a850fe63131

Hmmmm the AoC site is not mobile friendly 😢 Can someone post the puzzles as Twts? 🤣

(#qsrwpva) The most interesting part about mu is that the language is actually self-hosted and written in itself. There is a stage zero compound written and go on a stage one compiler written in mu

Thinking about doing Advent of Code in my own tiny language mu this year.

mu is:

• Dynamically typed
  
• Lexically scoped with closures
  
• Has a Go-like curly-brace syntax
  
• Built around lists, maps, and first-class functions
  

Key syntax:

• Functions use fn and braces:
  

fn add(a, b) {
    return a + b
}

• Variables use := for declaration and = for assignment:
  

x := 10
x = x + 1

• Control flow includes if / else and while:
  

if x > 5 {
    println("big")
} else {
    println("small")
}

while x < 10 {
    x = x + 1
}

• Lists and maps:
  

nums := [1, 2, 3]
nums[1] = 42

ages := {"alice": 30, "bob": 25}
ages["bob"] = ages["bob"] + 1

Supported types:

• int
  
• bool
  
• string
  
• list
  
• map
  
• fn
  
• nil
  

mu feels like a tiny little Go-ish, Python-ish language — curious to see how far I can get with it for Advent of Code this year. 🎄

Oh dear god 😱 The level of pollution on Hanoi is insane 🥺 I can’t stop coughing outside 🤯

(#j7zm5xa) @kaa@bridge.twtxt.net Cool, thanks for the support! I’ll try to add something so that a year later it can ask if you want to renew. I just didn’t want to make gift subscriptions auto-recurring.

(#azdzbva) @joshspector@bridge.twtxt.net Cool!

(#e2rrvga) @kaa@bridge.twtxt.net We have a way to invite someone to Micro.one and pay for the first year. Maybe that would work to start? There’s a link @3932@bridge.twtxt.net. Otherwise email help and we can figure something out. Thanks!

(#tvulx5a) @numericcitizen@bridge.twtxt.net No worries, this is all going mostly according to plan. 🙂 Using more bandwidth was unavoidable.

(#mdvry7a) @cote@bridge.twtxt.net Sounds right. 🙂

(#4dh6hwq) @fichteldom@bridge.twtxt.net Sorry, I looked at the wrong account even though you told me which one! Should be fixed now.

(#yz5ys2q) @fichteldom@bridge.twtxt.net Are you still seeing the error? I just checked and it looks like it was updated. Let us know if anything looks wrong.

The classified information in the future classified information the surface so classified information is classified information and I wasn’t hurt

In fact, look at how soft this ball is

Say what, npf(7) is throwing up and won’t block anything, yare yare :facepalm:

(#d2pj7pq) @prologic@twtxt.net the only one other that exists is htwtxt which may as well be Yarn’s ancestor

(#xyy4hrq) that is to say, chaotic.ninja still exists (although I don’t directly control it anymore as of last year), the rest is classified information ;P

Do not expect me to not hit other people’s nerves. You have been warned.

@prologic@twtxt.net I have returned

Great things happening over at the Xhitter.

Hey @prologic@bridge.twtxt.net

@teleclimber@bridge.twtxt.net Definitely jealous that your model means you can “just add ARM” in a monthly update!

Hmmm does this show up in Twtxt? 🤔

Hello World! Testing 1 2 3

@meidastouch I think it’s pretty funny he keeps having to explain his own jokes.

@danie10@bridge.twtxt.net Fuel efficiency was the reason I had picked the economy instead of the “whatever you have” option in the first place. Although in fairness, I’d have to get a pretty big car to rent a car less efficient than my personal beast which is at the shop.

@jalefkowit@bridge.twtxt.net IMHO they should keep working on it.

@kentonvarda.com That is a fair point. It is also not very cohesive in a “I don’t know what you want, but I’m required to say something” way. It managed to cover your grammar, the source of food insecurity, telling you “just eat something” (which is how I respond to family members who say they’re hungry), and tops it off with a funny video.

@kentonvarda.com I really hate to defend an AI model, or Google, but you did not give it much to go on here. I would’ve assumed you were telling the machine you were hungry and wanted it to suggest food near you.

Rental car company absolutely tried scamming me. Obviously they didn’t have the car I reserved, so they wanted to upcharge me like 40% for a nicer car they had… I was able to edit the reservation online while standing there to “whatever you have” for the same cost as my original reservation.
I walked out with the same car they wanted more money for at the same price I had booked for.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@MastodonEngineering/115531491817897878The latest engineering (and whole team) update is here 👀

@heidilifeldman@bridge.twtxt.net Guess it’s not unclaimed anymore. 🤔

(#wmnfghq) @bender@twtxt.net i am split between registrars .. isnic is only managed by the country registrar. the others i have at regular reseller

I am not dead. promise.

@RichardBrockie@bridge.twtxt.net They break your device, and they give you the privilege of buying another one from them.

@Viss@bridge.twtxt.net There’s no way someone didn’t notice this when putting it up.

@StillIRise1963@bridge.twtxt.net When it happens, the world’s problems won’t go away, but it will look a little brighter.

is there an etiquette to twtxt’ing? am i flooding?
