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. You canβt link to them! So they arenβt even part of the World Wide Webβββnot really. They constitute their own special thing. > They are sovereign! https://www.robinsloan.com/newsletters/angular-momentum/#lorde I have released a new command-line tool called "days". It calculates the number of days between two dates. $ days until july 1 Get it here: https://github.com/makew0rld/days drones run linux: the free software movement isn't enough https://j3s.sh/thought/drones-run-linux-free-software-isnt-enough.html Excellent writing @j3s

 @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 12

@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!
