Movies are amazing because they're epic stories that you get to witness.
Games are better because they're epic stories that center on you.

Happy Birthday to Frank Drake (May 28, 1930 – Sept 2, 2022), astrophysicist, astrobiologist and creator of the Drake equation, which is used to estimate the number of active, communicative extraterrestrial civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy.

The equation was formulated in 1961 as a way to stimulate discussion at the 1st scientific meeting on the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory site at Green Bank, WV.

@AkaSci be careful what you write on a napkin, you might become famous for it instead of your life's work

It is always fascinating to get a glimpse into the current development of robots. On the one hand, dreamers are working on human robots. On the other hand, industrial arms and similar tools impact our lives today.

@kdkorte personally I prefer the arms manufacturers to pour millions of dollars into building humanoid killing machines that might look cool but will never really work, than into designing a new cluster mine or loitering munitions that will remain a problem hundreds of years after being deployed

Do any suppliers expose about their stock, so I can query it at home?

I'm looking for the most efficient but still cheap middle-powered warm-white in some form factors.

@dcz yes, and there even services that aggregate that data, like https://www.findchips.com/

Do not understand why people always use bloated third party json libraries and then complain about it when I've seen people using pico 8 create json (de)serializers in like 15 lines of code

deshipu,
@deshipu@fosstodon.org avatar

@eniko It's the two modes of creation. I like to think about them as wizards and necromancers. In the first mode, you think hard about a thing, understand it as much as you can, and create a tool that solves exactly this problem with minimal effort or side effects, and which last for ages. In the second mode, you summon a big pile of libraries and modules and keep throwing them at the problem until it kinda works, at least for the short time that you need it. Shockingly, both modes are needed.

deshipu,
@deshipu@fosstodon.org avatar

@namelivia @eniko That is one possible strategy, and it has worked pretty well numerous times.

@deshipu@fosstodon.org avatar

@eniko @isziaui At least json is one of the rare formats that actually has a formal spec.

It's so hard to respect humanity as a species when the only time it does anything evidence based as a collective is when the evidence just happens to align well with society's preexisting feelings on the matter

@eniko To be honest, I don't know any other species that does better.

Remember, it's all about the side quests. Whatever you think the main plot is, it's less important than you think. It's always the things you do on the side, the ones you didn't plan for, just did because there was an opportunity to do them, that usually make the difference. The main plot will progress whether you want it or not. Take your time for the side quests.

The only good thing about youtube is that it's at least not all getting broadcast into the universe for everyone to see and laugh at us like TV was.

Attending conferences is refreshing.

Among other kinds of energies, to me, it recharges a specific one 🔋

Inspiration.

The motivation to go home and code as hard as possible.
Create new things and improve existing ones.
Use new tools and ideas.

@lcfd @pycon It's such a shame that right after you get back home you are too tired to do literally anything, and before you recover the inspiration wears off.

deshipu,
@deshipu@fosstodon.org avatar

@lcfd @pycon That's one way to do it, though I would be careful, it's easy to burn out and crash.

In the end I still think it's net positive, I get to at least fantasize about the projects I could do.

If you were told to design a programming language that makes it as easy as possible to implement undo functionality for applications written in it, how would you go about it?

@diyelectromusic But how do you know to which jump instruction to jump to from a label, especially since the jump condition haven't been evaluated yet?

You can easily deduce my sleep patterns by tracking my PCB designs.

In unrelated news, I have just ordered two new PCBs.
