@nikitonsky is that real memory, or file mapping to memory?

@nikitonsky next you're telling me 8 GB memory isn't enough in 2024. Crazy talk!

Advancements continue (Monterey and Ventura are screensavers)

@jk

My threshold for duplicate code is about 15 lines, and only "near" each other in the same text file.

@jk also make sure the behaviour depends on the return type, which is infered by the compiler for every call site separately.

I'm the opposite. Smithereen, the server app I'm writing this from, now has photo albums and comments on photos in them, and just yesterday I removed all duplication for handling federated likes on different object types. Feels so ✨clean✨ to have all likes end up in one single universal method.

I loved wiring Tab machines.

@nikitonsky

Thank you. Happy reminder for me

@NanoRaptor

Now y'all gone and done disappointed grandpa Engelbart.

Just look at his face, man.

@NanoRaptor Douglas Engelbart reading that like someone's in his parking spot

That’s what good conferenced do to you. They inspire you to build useful things. Thanks @causalislands!

@nikitonsky this is what the site was always lacking, finally, I can use it.

@nikitonsky I signed in on a public computer. How can I sign out again?

@nikitonsky it must be not a native app? What's that?

@nikitonsky The good news is that it ends up in the metadata so you can use these to categorize your highlights. The bad news is they all look alike 😆

@dragonfrog AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!

(Sorry, I just had to scream)

@nikitonsky trademark strike incoming from @Seirdy

@nikitonsky no

@nikitonsky it's easier to hit button whose click area spans to the edge of the screen. Especially important in the case of "play" and "fullscreen" buttons

@nikitonsky less precision for seeking!

@nikitonsky happens for me too with the pedestal repository

@nikitonsky yep. Happened to me too. I also noticed text search in repo stopped giving all results and returns only some part of it

No, seriously

@nikitonsky I guess you are aware of https://mastodon.social/@lickability/113193822098761855

@nikitonsky the shortfalls of using an icon font, maybe?
