My December ‘21 in Review

Future of Yarn.social

Today I’m going to talk about Yarn.social’s future, a roadmap into where we’re going and thinking. I’ll also write a little about it’s history of where we came from and highlight how Yarn.social is different and in my opinion better.

For those of you new to my blog or Yarn.social; Yarn.social is a decentralised social media platform, a microBlogging platform. It was originally crea … ⌘ Read more

Maybe I should write down my political views and thoughts in extra posts on my German blog in the future, instead of putting them in the monthly review and then translating them as well. English readers probably won’t get much out of it… Sorry! ✌️ ⌘ Read more

First experience with my new unlimited mobile phone contract while traveling: The phone hotspot works much better than the ICE (German high speed train) WiFi usually does. At most, there are small interruptions in tunnels, but otherwise surfing, writing e-mails, and listening to music work perfectly. Even remote programming works. It was worth it… ⌘ Read more

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org So.. in the great wisdom of markdown parser.. it only provides the Title and deletes the alt. :D i guess i could write out the alt and title as the same value

JavaScript : web apps

I understand the hate for JavaScript. But what option is there for writing web enabled applications for desktop / mobile?

Had a great day today. Fun at work, went for a long walk and did my grocery shopping, have set a dough for tomorrow’s breakfast. And finished writing stuff that I’ve longed to do.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I don’t by your example (rebasing behaviour), sorry.

Writing a twt is more similiar to writing a commit message. Git does quite some checks to detect that nothing new was written and happily discards a commit if you just leave the editor. You don’t need any special action, just quit your editor. Git will take care for the rest.

But it’s OK as it is. I just didn’t expect that I have to select and delete all to discard a twt. So it’s C-x h C-w C-x C-c for me.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de My workflow is as follows.

I hit “reply” hotkey and my editor comes up.

With or without writing something I close my editor without saving the content.

Of course I close it by C-x C-c, not by :q! ;-)

Jenny finds the temp file unchanged, e.g. it’s content is the same as it was when my editor was started. I would like that jenny discards the reply then.

Autosaving is no problem either. Real editors do this to a temporary (kind of backup) file. Only in case of a crash that file is consulted and the user is asked if she would like to continue with that stored content.

National Novel Writing Month; see https://nanowrimo.org/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Another feature request: sometimes I start writing a twt but then would like to discard it. It would be great if jeny could detect that I did not wrote (or saved) anything and then discards the twt instead of creating an “empty” one.

Struct Tags with Underscore Before Function Names
In the Go world, an underscore (_) before an expression is called a blank identifier. As you may already know, identifiers—user-defined program components, e.g., name of a function, variable, or package—in Go must be preceded by an underscore or a letter (a-z or A-Z). If they aren’t, you’ll receive the compile- time error which essentially means Go cannot read the syntax of your code (you didn’t write your code correctly … ⌘ Read more

I want NaNoWriMo but for tech writing.

Got to love the sense of humour:

Blog.txt supports multiple options for the chronological order of posts. If you start writing new posts below old posts, the default post sort is descending. If you start writing new posts above all the old posts, like I do, then the post sort algorithm will default to ascending. But if the user would like to change the sort order of the posts, they can press the “End” button on their keyboard to reverse the default chronological order!

** Data Types and Variables in C **
I’ve been writing a heap of Lua lately — this has lead to my becoming interested, again, in C. Here are some ancient notes I dug up on the most basics of data types and variables in C.

All of a computer’s memory is comprised of bits. A sequence of 8 bits forms a byte. A group of bytes (typically 4 or 8) form a word. Each word is associated with a memory address. The address increases by 1 with each byte of memory.

In C, a byte is an object that is as big as t … ⌘ Read more

@movq@www.uninformativ.de To clarify, Markdown is just text. 😊 I can do bolding, link things, and if single return multilines ever comes to jenny, I would be able to do bulleted and numbered lists.

The only things—that I know of—that doesn’t work is “> “, but I can use “>”, like so:

D’oh!

So, jenny allows me to write Markdown almost just fine!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I am getting this when I run it on cron (extra lines in between becuase otherwise jenny will make them a mash):

@fab@foobucket.xyz Deciding what to write about is always an issue for me too… Sometimes I feel like all I do is announce updates to my different software stuff.

You need better pen test scripts. :-) Seriously, the protocol is absurdly simple. Turn it on! Don’t trust any of the implementations? Write your own!

Why do I keep writing simple English words like change or chance and save or safe, and live or life wrong?

i remember having quite strange & unusual qualia as a child (kind of hard to describe & varied, i remember 2 specifically (not just the old “having more imagination” or “being easier to frighten”, but on a similar level as déja vu)), but these have faded over time as i went through adolescence. i wonder whether this is common. perhaps i should write that up, together with a rough description of those qualia

Nobody’s saying he can’t write code any more (I mean, I think his code is crap and wish he’d stop, but that’s another issue). But he should not be on any board, should not be in any leadership position, should not be held up as a role model or even vaguely okay.

I agree clients should present things better (part of why I’m writing one!). But that should be additive. There’s a reason we’re not passing json around.

Writing a “tweet” is low-friction, and the medium forces you to chunk out ideas into (mostly) self-contained thoughts.

my plan would involve writing the code for a seed asi and giving it a completely senseless goal, such as maximizing the number of paperclips & spreading as far as possible. this would benefit no one & cause untold damage. i will take no questions

Wrote a man page for this thing. I miss writing man pages.
