@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz since rebuilding eunoia in astro i’ve had soooo much fun with it and i don’t even like JS

astro.js is so cool i love making astro sites

@prologic@twtxt.net good luck!!!!!!!!!

@prologic@twtxt.net interesting that ruby is so low on the list, i find it the easiest to learn! hell i struggle with python more than ruby and i’ve been told that python is like ruby but better lol. maybe it’s just my weird brain!

@prologic@twtxt.net IT’S SO EPIC BUT SO POWERFUL YOU CAN DO SO MUCH

@movq@www.uninformativ.de help yeah i struggle so hard with this stuff! it’s why wordier languages like ruby come easier to me

@bender@twtxt.net i’ve meant to try this!

Fuck 🤣 Building and learning about machine learning and evolutionary processes is hard™ 🤣

… experimenting with building and training a tic-tac-toe game, which evolves a. neural net that learn to paly the game against the best evolved champions 😅

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Ah, I see. I would assume that you’ll get used to it at some point. 🤔 But yeah, a lot of meaning is packed into these symbols. (It’s much, much worse with languages like Rust. 😅)

That was so great to watch, I was smiling from ear to ear the whole time. 😃

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Authelia is great 👌 Nice choice! 🙌

@bender@twtxt.net 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net I remember going through your “introduction to Golang”, I don’t remember the URL, but I vividly remember going through it, and I was lost at chapter one. So, about that “mastering” the core in hours, “I don’t believe you.” (insert I don’t believe you meme animated GIF here). LOL.

Ultimately, Go sits in the sweet spot on the complexity vs performance chart:

• Minimal syntax & concepts → low learning curve
  
• Compiled speed → high throughput
  
• Built-in CSP concurrency → scalable by default
  

See Rob Pyke’s presentation on Expressiveness of Go

One of the nicest things about Go is the language itself, comparing Go to other popular languages in terms of the complexity to learn to be proficient in:

• Go: 25 keywords (Stack Overflow); CSP-style concurrency (goroutines & channels)
  
• Python 2: 30 keywords (TutorialsPoint); GIL-bound threads & multiprocessing (Wikipedia)
  
• Python 3: 35 keywords (Initial Commit); GIL-bound threads, asyncio & multiprocessing (Wikipedia, DEV Community)
  
• Java: 50 keywords (Stack Overflow); threads + java.util.concurrent (Wikipedia)
  
• C++: 82 keywords (Stack Overflow); std::thread, atomics & futures (en.cppreference.com)
  
• JavaScript: 38 keywords (Stack Overflow); single-threaded event loop & async/await, Web Workers (Wikipedia)
  
• Ruby: 42 keywords (Stack Overflow); GIL-bound threads (MRI), fibers & processes (Wikipedia)
  

@bender@twtxt.net Here’s a short-list:

• Simple, minimal syntax—master the core in hours, not months.
  
• CSP-style concurrency (goroutines & channels)—safe, scalable parallelism.
  
• Blazing-fast compiler & single-binary deploys—zero runtime dependencies.
  
• Rich stdlib & built-in tooling (gofmt, go test, modules).
  
• No heavy frameworks or hidden magic—unlike Java/C++/Python overhead.

set up authelia as an OIDC provider for my forgejo instance :DDD

@prologic@twtxt.net what’s to like? :-P

@bender@twtxt.net What’s not to like? 😅

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I don’t like Golang much either, but I am not a programmer. This little site, Go by example might explain a thing or two.

i want to write fanfiction. alas today i feel weird

@movq@www.uninformativ.de i feel like when i read go code i’m reading some algebra shit where every part is 1-5 letters long and then there’s weird symbols like := and it’s just infinitely harder for me to parse and infer meaning from lol. it’s such a me problem

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz In what way should it be more verbose? Can you give an example? 🤔

Agree with kat! It’s cute!

I am yet again considering cutting my hair

@bender@twtxt.net There is no aim. Just learning 😅 That way I can actually speak and write with authority when it comes to these LLM(s) a bit more 🤣 Or maybe I just happen to become that random weirdo genius that invents Skynet™ 😂

@thecanine@twtxt.net SO CUTE

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i’m so fucking bad at this shit man i can’t even comprehend JS most of the time coding is not in my future

i wish it was realistic for me to learn golang but every single time i try to comprehend any go code i’m like What the fuck am i looking at. why is all of this so short and condensed GIVE ME VERBOSE CODE

I sent you my QR code, please respond!

*for context: long ago, there were some complaints, about some of my sitting drawings, where the legs are apart, not using dithering/more shading and one of my favourite artists, made a video, exploring the use of QR codes, in art
P.S.: the code just redirects to my websites

@sorenpeter@darch.dk Cool, that animation is quite hypnotic. :-)

Jokes aside, what’s the aim for doing this? Other than learning something new, that is.

@prologic@twtxt.net so, what did you have for dinner last night? How’s the weather Down Under a bit past 02:00? Do tell me. 🤭

This is one of my attempts:

$ go build ./cmd/xor/... && ./xor

Target reached!

Best network performance:

  [0 1] → got=1 exp=1 (raw=0.990) ✅
  [1 0] → got=1 exp=1 (raw=0.716) ✅
  [1 1] → got=0 exp=0 (raw=0.045) ✅
Overall accuracy: 100.0%
Wrote best.dot – render with `dot -Tpng best.dot -o best.png`

Over the past few weeks I’ve been experimenting with and doing some deep learning and researching into neutral networks and evolutionary adaptation of them. The thing is I haven’t gotten very far. I’ve been able to build two different approaches so far with limited results. The frustrating part is that these things are so “random” it isn’t even funny. Like I can’t even get a basic ANN + GA to evolve a network that solves the XOR pattern every time with high levels of accuracy. 😞

@prologic@twtxt.net You can read more about the “cryptic” live coding language Punctual in my newsletter

@sorenpeter@darch.dk Also not very readable. Quite cryptic really 😅 I have no idea how this works 🤦‍♂️

My vision with this newsletter is to have a slower medium for communicating about my art as well as ideas and projects I’m working on regarding how we can use digital technology to our own benefits instead of being exploited by big tech.

Twtxt not sloe enough for you? 🤣

@thecanine@twtxt.net I think I know what you mean now.

@prologic@twtxt.net it says in the linked page;)

@sorenpeter@darch.dk What will you be writing about? What’s your target audience? 🤔

I’m sending out my first newsletter later today. Sign up at https://darch.dk/newsletter if you want it fresh of the press 💌

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i have a terrible headache rn tho so debugging and log checking will have to wait

bruh i log in after a day and my TL/discover feed has 12 twts WHAT AM I MISSING

@prologic@twtxt.net best of luck, no pressure!

@bender@twtxt.net Appreicate it 🙏
