A chi serve la “gamification” sul lavoro?

Le dinamiche tipiche dei giochi sono ormai diffuse per motivare i dipendenti e farli rendere di più, ma non vuol dire che lavorino davvero più volentieri e meglio

Qualcuno dovrebbe dire alla candidata sindaca tiburtina del PD di ristampare i volantini, dal momento che non risulta a nessuno che Einstein abbia mai pronunciato la frase in questione... 🤦‍♂️

#Goperized for #Amiga

Today I added the search to the text files too and I started revising the code to optimize it... while I was fixing things I thought to make the program multilingual, so I started transferring all the hardcoded strings into a array which will be overwritten in case of languages other than the native one.
I initially thought of using tags to search for strings dynamically, but I'm afraid of slowing down the entire program which instead needs to be as fast as possible.

Gopherized, my Amiga gopher client, now is able to search for a text in a page, search next and prev are also implemented.

Next step: extend the search function to the text viewer.

The second image shows all the changes/fixes 😀 :amiga:

I have been having a headache for the past ~4 weeks non-stop. Why does it never stop?

They're predicting 31 degrees (88F) on weds. In April. This is supposed to be the nice, comfortable time of year with an average high of 21. This will also be the third heatwave in a row, the last one just broke yesterday

This is fine 🙃

Installing browsers on a :rpi: Pi 3 running #NetBSD

• NetSurf 5Mb
• Firefox & dependencies : 300 Mb

And don’t get me started on launch times nowadays as a quad core CPU at 1.2 GHz is “slow” and “low end”.

Yes I am aware NetSurf cannot display most modern websites. I am not blaming Firefox. I blame the websites.

When is that #smolweb thing finally going to rule the world ?

A brief video on YT about Gopherized, my #Gopher client for #Amiga :)

New feature:

• hot key to set the current page as the home page

Fixes:

• Made various fixes and optimizations, I also got rid of a Guru that sometimes was crashing the system. I think there is still something within the #BSDSocket library because if I try to call a proc while doing network stuff sooner or later the system ... BOOM! 😁
  Anyway I can only thanks @TopazRabbit for this game-changer lib.

I'm near to a first RC! :amiga:

My #Gopher client for #Amiga is getting configuration files 😁

You can see the 'color scheme' file and the 'key map' file, but I still need another one for the misc options and fine tuning like buffer sizes, color depth, etc...

Key & Yuri always by my side 💖

My #Gopher client can now download files! :D
It uses a little 8k buffer where data is received and dumped to a file until the end.
I was scared because in interpreted mode Print # performs very bad! Something like 40Kb/s while in compiled mode it reaches 225Kb/s

The video shows my Gopher client that is able to download files!

#Gopher client for #Amiga

I'm working on a simple cache system to avoid to download over and over the same content.
I've used a very simple hashing algo to build the cached file names (in the form host@selector as you see in the screenshot), it should work...
I've also intruduced an expire value in hours for the cached files: expired files will be removed when the client is started.
All these features are optional.

Help me decypher something. When I was younger there were #VideoGames and there was #Gaming. What I mean by that is we would insert the game into the drive, be it #Amiga or #Famicom or whatever and, well, play until out eyes bled out. Later there was PC but the experience was similar.

Nowadays gamers tend to “play achievements and trophies”. Some are so addicted to that system that they MUST have a “platinum trophy” on every game they ever started. Even if they really dislike the game!

Why?
