love 2 describe a potential improvement to a niche algorithm only via: * uncommented source code * private email thread * lobste.rs comment single paragraph w/ context, many w/o, too boring to write a blog post about, the main other literature on the subject seems to be more […]

i am doing some things incredibly wrong: 1. "Typescript" but it's just JSDoc comments but it still reports errors with `tsc` 2. on a custom Javascript runtime (BoaJS + my incremental extensions, also typed) 3. with absolutely no third-party JS packages (i wrote a small templating library […]

"Wayne" himself noted that you'd think someone else would have checked this before be did!, which points to a process problem where there's no-one who's specifically responsible for running basic double-checks against widely-trusted certificates in general for issues like trivially recoverable […]

I FORGOT TODAY WAS A HOLIDAY on the one hand good that idiot should suffer his third death, native americans deserve so much more than token land acknowledgements, on the other hand i do have to take the train all the way back home now

oh fun my keyboard broke because of an... incomplete patch series being backported??? https://lore.kernel.org/regressions/14ed23dd-b171-4ffb-b368-5c717f56188c@pepdata.pt/

my biggest problem with fighting games is that i looooooove spending a ton of time in training mode doing combos, but can only handle ~5-10 online matches before my brain gets fried, unless on a call w/ a friend also i suck at both parts but ah well

RE: https://social.treehouse.systems/@PolyWolf/117312510073535115 may have been better to wait until the blog post was done to post the image, given how much it popped off, but ah well notifying everyone w/ the edit is fine too i guess

hunter x hunter going on hiatus again at chapter 420 is pretty funny

first day wearing my newer pair of Docs that didn't absolutely annihilate my feet 👍 they do break in it's true!!

Drawn to the Fire ended at chapter 19??? really sad i thought it was a very good sports manga. the author even showed off all the arcs/characters that were planned. ah well too bad i guess

using #spacemacs with #rust and i am running into a huge issue: the virtual text implementation is very glitchy, basically unusable unfortunately... like it makes lines shift around constantly and write weird partial updates that make my cursor seem in the wrong place when i am editing test […]

RE: https://social.treehouse.systems/@PolyWolf/117176756517667165 nvm we're back? https://github.com/neovim/neovim.github.io/pull/504 more of a "said 'fuck you' to annoying internet commenters and then it blew out of proportion" than any real allegiance to DHH? or at the very least was talked […]

The first valid TGA image starts 7.97 million digits into pi (byte 3,310,525 of its binary expansion) It’s 33,207 × 20,901, 24-bit RLE truecolour, so the bits of pi after the header are read as colours and repeat values. Here is its top-left corner-

not sure today's theme but i think it is always appropriate for #janacore

my "hypothesis pytest that runs a bunch of Rust binaries" is all green now, making me very confident that my new file watching capability is basically correct! yipee!! i have no idea how i was living w/o tests before, this rules. i sorta get what the TDD/PBT ppl r all excited about, for the […]

a thing that seems to set me and my manager apart is, if i want to know the answer to something, my first instinct is to consult the code, and his is to find someone to ask a question to this is going to be a hard habit to break. "value your time as equal to others, not less than" is hard […]

RE: https://social.treehouse.systems/@PolyWolf/117113821166131903 good news! i fixed the test harness. bad news! some very very simple tests fail 😭😭😭 ah well that's why we write these things ig

working at a job that doesn't use GitHub, and also primarily been interacting with https://git.sr.ht for personal project, so going back to GitHub for nixpkgs review duties is a big shock for just how bad it is. frog-boilingly so i don't understand how anyone can tolerate how slow it is.
