sometimes i think i should return to a cleaner state of mind, abandon all big never-to-be-finished projects, and write simple text-processing utilities on a raspberry pi running plan 9, improvising fractile jazz over a lonely lake and spend most of my remaining time meditating.

fifth, small & nifty programs. https://niplav.github.io/code/99_klong/sol.kg being exemplary, but i want to write some more code. every single function there is Done. there is only stuff to remove, if at all, and nothing to add.

If the only thing you write in your changelog is “Fixes and improvements”, why bother with a changelog at all?

Understanding Color Management
I worked on a project where I dived deep into understanding how modern
color management works, including things like color spaces, ICC profiles

concepts as well.

Writing free software is like painting. You should do it if you feel like it, or if you, yourself, get something out of it. The moment you start to feel that you are owed something is the moment that you should stop doing it, because what you do from then on is probably not going to be any good. Is it even worth working on FOSS anymore? | Hacker News

** A quick and dirty intro to the .pbm file format **
I’ve been fiddling with writing programs that draw pictures. I started with PostScript for this, but have since moved to writing programs that output in the .pbm format.

My goal here is to write noise to a .pbm file.

A .pbm file is the lowest common denominator among image file formats.

An example of the format,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, Mr. Fastidious. We fully agree with you.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Sir, you really should have forked that conversation long back to keep our environment clean and tidy. Unfortunately, you did not attend the meeting earlier, so we have to advise you in writing to be prudent. Please keep in mind the fork lockdown is currently not in place. There are currently no plans to enforce it in the near future.

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

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!
