@david@daiwei.me I had to look these up, horror isn’t my genre at all. :-D No idea what the cool kids use today, but I still have zsh as my interactive shell. For shell scripts, though, I try to stick to POSIX and only resort to bash if really needed or it would be too cumbersome.

@david@daiwei.me Not sure if you only mean the code segments or in general. In theory, a general darker text color for read messages would probably work. The thing is that regular white on black is quite standard. In Newsboat, new articles are red (I opted for yellow here) and read ones white. I found that useful and kinda copied it for tt.

↳ In-reply-to » @dce So let me get this straight... You want to store your feed on a Codeberg repo right? But you want to clone that repo down somewhere else to serve it on a different location. Right? And you'd like to use the Twtxt App (https://twtxt.app) to front all of this? Right?

@david@daiwei.me I think it might be a bug i just fixed šŸ¤ž

↳ In-reply-to » I trip over this in our code at work all the time.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de The nice thing about properties is that you can compute and cache things on the fly at first attempt and also ensure validation for writing. But like you said, since it’s not obvious that reading or writing might do some more things, it’s strongly advised to avoid doing expensive stuff disguised as properties.

I reckon the vast majority of property use cases is to provide read-only access. At least that was my impression when I was doing a lot more in Python.

Personally, I think that this just reads a lot nicer:

oink.my_property
oink.my_property = 42

Than:

oink.get_my_property()
oink.set_my_property(42)

Btw, any field access is implemented using method calls. I might be wrong, but I believe there’s always __getattr__ and __setattr__ involved. 8-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de My grief with Java is that it’s sooo verbose. Sure, all the enterprise garbage makes it a hell lot more terrible, but even regular Java feels always so lengthy. And back in the days when I was using it daily, I missed so many convenient things in the stdlib after having experienced Python’s ā€œbatteries includedā€. Not sure if or how recent Java versions caught up.

@david@daiwei.me Oh, really? I thought I’ve posted compose view screenshots before. Anyway. Glad you like it as much as I do. :-)

The update interval has always been one second. I just didn’t remember and thus tried to time it by watching the preview update while typing. It felt like roughly under two seconds, but apparently my inner clock was off. After taking the screenshot and then examining it more closely, I noticed that the interval is stated right in the UI. :-D So, I just amended my message and didn’t bother taking a new screenshot. I figured I just leave it alone and see who spots the change, if at all. And, of course, you found the easter egg. Congrats, mate! 8-)

↳ In-reply-to » @lyse Ahh yes, but tt has a "draft" mode right? You didn't publish, then edit over and over did you? šŸ˜…

@prologic@twtxt.net Not sure if this really counts as a draft mode or this is what you had in mind. I just was in the editor for ages and didn’t close it. tt provides an integrated preview for the rendered message in there. It automatically updates every second.

Here’s a screenshot of the compose view with the conversation context on the top to which to reply to, the editor in the middle and the almost-live preview at the bottom, I hope it’s big enough:

But it’s not like I hit the ā€œAdd messageā€ button in the compose view (the one currently selected on the screenshot), see the message in the conversation tree and then come back into the compose view to continue editing. There’s no edit functionality in tt. Once the message is appended to my twtxt.txt file on disk, all I can do is edit it with vim. The U+2028 line breaks are really annoying to deal with (I’m sure I could do something about that if I spent the time), so I try to avoid that at all costs.

Once new messages have been added to my local file, I then manually upload the file to my server in a separate terminal. There’s no upload command integrated into tt. Right from my very first message in the beginning, I’ve always done it exactly like that. I’m used to this and it really doesn’t bother me. But I can see that others might not be fans of that at all. I might add an upload mechanism to tt at some point in the future.

@david@daiwei.me agreed on those. I have also noticed that the buttons are the top (Timeline, Mentions, Follows, Settings) shift a bit when clicked. I am not sure what’s causing that.

@david@daiwei.me That’s a good thing. I still use it heavily, but I also realize that it is addictive. This whole idea of getting likes and boosts is horrible. Seeing ā€œnumber goes upā€ is inherently addictive design, if you ask me. This should never have been added to a Free Platform like Mastodon, and I’m glad that twtxt doesn’t have anything like it.

↳ In-reply-to » Free daily 3D mini golf in the browser? I smell a new obsession...

@david@daiwei.me @prologic@twtxt.net No worries, I was just trying it on for size.

I played it again today (10/12 on first try), but I can’t say that I love the format of the ā€œshare linkā€ (the unnecessary yellow and green circles).

I think if I did want to post daily scores or something (for posterity), I’d likely setup a separate feed just for my ā€œachievementsā€. 😁
