okay! I think I'm federating again? That... was strange.

I think maybe tomorrow I will do something silly like maybe stream myself coding, which will involve a lot of swearing and mutteringBut it will also mean I am distracted, and if anyone else wants to watch it they can also be distractedI’ll post it if I do!

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] I stand by my assessment that implementing operator overloads for the structures of a genetic algorithm to create both a programmatic and representational syntax is super super useful for code readability(oh, you want to 'mix' two genetic lines A and B? (A + B)/2 aaaand you're done)

good god I googled "sovereign" to make sure I wasn't spelling it incorrectlyand "sovereign individual" is a fucking book (okay, no surprise)by goddamn "William Rees-Mogg"whose son is that little lordling fuckass Jacob Rees-Moggare you fucking kidding me. these fucking guys.

@[email protected] huh, wait. does this mean a mushroom undergoing active spore dispersal could be like, a perfect forestpunk demo case for a graphics programmer?especially if it was bioluminescent holy fuck

@[email protected] This is both A, a couple of really excellent points, and B, a really, really good idea. Zero-ing in one some... metric or something that can speak to some extent about what I can do. LOC is certainly an imperfect metric but it's definitely better than literally nothing. And we're not talking LOC as a quarterly performance metric: we're just saying "hey, this is a thing I can do".Thank you!

I don't know if the tech industry will improve and shift away from the massive grifting going on under a Harris administration (​:doubt:​) buuuut I sure as fuck do know it's gonna get a lot goddamn worse under Trump.

@[email protected] well... it's still a lot of unknowns, unfortunately. We'll have to see how she responds to the antibiotics. So we'll try and get her in with a vet in about two weeks, which is more or less when the course will have run, and then re-check her levels.In the meantime, they've given her an anti-emetic and some painkillers, so hopefully she'll throw up less. The painkiller is definitely helping.She's... a struggle to get medicine into though. 2 PM is when her next dose is. I will probably be bleeding more after that

@[email protected] ooooh, I'll definitely check it out. I've been wanting to read up more about networking in general (and wireguard) for a lot of reasons.

@aud i tried OO a long time. But it was not the way to go in Java. I learned a lot. At the Ende i use RDF. My java classes are now wrappers around a graph. So internaly every property is an triple. And a java getter/setter knows the predicate Name. To access the graph.

I guess I didn't explicitly mention "defense contractors" but I am definitely impliciting talking about them to a certain extent here, amongst other things

(if you had access to the bracketed shots, you can tell shakiness is a huge problem for me, particularly with a macro lens on an open aperture. Basically, they're either super blurry or the specific focal plane hops around like mad. Not that that's unique to me or anything).That's one of the more 'dynamic' shots; a lot of it just... rocks and leaves lmao.

@[email protected] right!? they were like "BITCH FUCK OFFFFF" and I was like k k just one uhh... just a few photos and uhhh...

@[email protected] the good news (... for me, anyway) is I'm taking a break from my adhd meds today so I can't be too deeply nerd sniped

@[email protected] and the semi-informal! I feel like a lot of communication is unnecessarily bound up with the idea of what formal language is, and it's this way because, oh, you know, we have to use style X to communicate and blah blah blah. But there's value in conversational language. A lot, in fact.

Alright! It ain't much but it's honest work, etc, etc, etc. Here's what I'm planning for Satyr and why I'm writing it.https://codeberg.org/Astatide/satyr/src/branch/main/README.mdI want it to be a tool to meet people's needs, especially around privacy. None of this "privacy is against the spirit of our software project": opt-in federation is a fucking must. So is total user control of their presence, visibility, and data. So that's what I'm planning now! Anyone who wants to provide comments please do so.Things I will not do or implement: telemetry beyond typical logging and other things necessary to make sure shit is running (the safest data is the data that's never collected). Features that enable an admin to make a user more visible than they want, etc.

and I didn't even cry this week I did get super fucking sad on Wednesday but worked through it. Yay.

@[email protected] It's not mine but is SO CORRECT

kinda regret I wasn’t able to come up with a corpse, funeral, or death related term that rhymes with “twist” in the 30 seconds it took me to post thiskinda kept focusing on “I wish wight rhymed with twist”

@[email protected] I love her so much if I ever sound like I’m in pain she hauls ass to where I am to see if I’m okayShe always comes and sleeps next to me
