Today I met a Toronto live coder who runs Orca workshops on Twitch! The next one is on Sunday, and you can see the first one in his VODs. Oh I realized the website doesn't say, but it starts at 11 AM. Or 11:30? Not quite sure. I'll try and be in chat at 11 this Sunday. Goβs Error Handling Is Perfect, Actually https://blog.verygoodsoftwarenotvirus.ru/posts/errors-in-go/ Happy to see @compudanzas is updating their Uxn tutorial. Not sure if/when I'll get back into it, but enough has changed (and been forgotten by me) that I'll be sure appreciate the updated content. Thanks! > There is only one action, appending. Don't try and organize things by topic as you would on a computer. This is not a computer, this is paper. Paper works best when you append only. There is only one direction, forward. Debugging an evil Go runtime bug: From heat guns to kernel compiler flags https://marcan.st/2017/12/debugging-an-evil-go-runtime-bug/ So gnarly. Don't prefill config files https://www.makeworld.space/2024/02/no_prefill_config.html (new blog post!) I've made a new release of my dithering library and tool! This one greatly reduces memory usage, and makes things faster as well, for error diffusion dithering at least. The majority of non-technical people I've talked to confuse a search engine and a browser for being the same thing. A good thing to remember if you're trying to evangelize a different browser or search engine to anyone, and an easy thing for nerds to forget. @makeworld i can get why; its the same reason AOL keywords worked. the search engine is a kind of DNS resolver for humans the way a web address literally resolved, so it all feels like one technical product
@makeworld :ablobfoxbongo: ok *installs DuckDuckGo browser* :blobcat3csmirk: Not what I meant, but ok... @makeworld I feel this. I've put it this way: "impactful art" requires mastery, mastery requires 2 things: practice, and taste. And you could even just say taste, but you cannot get taste without a lot of exposure - why practice is important. <- IME this can take a lot of time, for me 6 years on guitar & 7 years on code. I'm not opposed to making the process of making art easier, but it should still have room for mastery. > Lordeβs [email] messages do not belong to the internet of Twitter or Instagram; they donβt belong to the internet of Substack, either.

@makeworld @j3s >nobody wants to use 10 year old thinkpads that can barely manage a youtube video. Well on the other hand, mine W520 is still my main work machine, and I can watch YT videos just fine :D. No need to replace it every 2-3 years; I will use this machine to the very end if need be. It has earned it's keep and rest. @makeworld good stuff, free software movement is/was like a 'free gift' capital appropriated for itself? Trying to think of cool SSH applications to build... the problem is justifying the SaaS approach |
@makeworld π€© at "full communism" in the middle
(I will not be hearing corrections)
This doesn't show the american fork, where we tried to merge the protestants, but there were too many conflicts.
@makeworld
@makeworld @luigirenna It looks like a badly planned tube map!
