Anyone have issues installing #dotnet on #AppleSilicon?

It just fails and tells me to contact the software provider. I've tried both the x64 and Arm64 versions of the installer, tried a reboot, and I do already have Xcode and dev tools installed.

Day one of my #Apple ownership is mixed as a result, heh.

My god, adding a conditional breakpoint in #Jetbrains #Rider (and I assume other editors) and #DotNet makes things slow.

I only have 20k pieces of data (admittedly large individual pieces, but still), and I went from finishing the run in about fifteen seconds to waiting for five minutes before I hit my breakpoint.

This isn't me complaining about anything, just kind of wild that adding a single "Does this int equal this int?" adds so much overhead! I had time to type this whole post!

Okay, since #Godot does not like spawning processes. . .and #Rust would mean GTK. . .

#Raylib it is. This is good, because I don't have to re-implement my #DotNet code in Rust.

Hey #Godot folks: What's th best way to just draw a circle on the screen around one of my nodes dynamically? Apparently the _Draw method (I'm working in C#) isn't the same as in every other engine and graphical framework ever.

I may or may not be having more fun writing a #chess bot than I do actually playing chess. I can still fairly reliably beat my bot. . .but not quickly.

#Rider I need you to cut the crap.

I know that #DotNet on linux (at least, ubuntu-based distros) is a mess right now, but my dotnet is installed in a very normal place, why are you having issues finding it?!

An image of my console upon running dotnet --list-runtimes. It shows that I have runtimes, and that my system-wide dotnet install knows where they are. . .so WHY DOESN'T RIDER?!

Hey #HamRadio, what's the best practice around coax pass through into the house?

I've seen the wall plates some hams have inside, what's the story with the outside? Are we talking, like, one of those electric utility boxes, like for phone/Internet?

Any gotchas around them I should know about that aren't immediately obvious?

thread to follow, 1/n

b4ux1t3, 2 months ago to hamradio

Okay, so I have to rethink my entire #HamRadio control application.

#Godot's audio "stuff" is kinda borked.

#DotNet is going to require me to wrap native APIs.

If I'm going to be using native APIs anyway. . .

Yeah, we're going to do it in #Rust.

Considering doing a talk at my company's next summit:

Pie Charts: Why they are bad and why you should feel bad for using them.

Too harsh?

b4ux1t3, 4 months ago to random

I think it's really interesting to dissect your choices of what to follow on something like Mastodon and what you enjoy doing.

For example, I play chess (a lot!) and I program chess bots (a little!)... But I have absolutely zero desire to follow the chess hashtag. I just don't care what people are saying about chess.

Meanwhile, when it comes to TTRPGs or ham radio, I follow all the major hashtags, despite the fact that I do both of those less than I do chess.

Is that weird?

I really, really need to start writing some copy for the crocheting group I want to start with the local dad's group I'm in.

I intend to call it "The Bearded Hookers".

No, I'm not joking.

This is officially the first toot from my new Linux workstation. Hello from #LinuxMint!

Took less than three hours to get things swapped over, #DotNet and #Rider installed, all that jazz. Of course, my dotfile Makefile helped a lot.

Anyone know of a good, #CreativeCommons lyric-less sailing song? Need some background music for my #KenneyJam game. Think wholesome pirate-y background music, or as wholesome as pirates can be.

Car physics. I still need to add "friction" and a top speed (which I'll probably enforce with the concept of drag), but I'll save that for the stream. Just took not being half-asleep on stream to get this fiddly little algorithm working properly.

Okay, I have a #MastodonHelp question:

Why are there people showing up in my home feed that I do not follow and whose posts are not being boosted by people I follow?

That was pretty much my number one complaint about Twitter.

Is there a way to turn that off?

I follow specific handles because I want to hear what those people/organizations have to say. And, while I'm not uninterested in what other people post, I prefer to find that stuff on my local feed or in hashtags.

b4ux1t3, 2 months ago to hamradio

Man, I wish I had, you know, friends.

Or at least friends who are close enough to me that I could use this feature, and who are actually into #HamRadio, and own a #Yaesu radio with the pager functionality. . .

What would be extra super cool would be if you could have a function that would look for #C4FM traffic from a list of contacts, and leave a bell if it noticed anyone transmitting.

Maybe that's a feature in pricier C4FM transceivers?

Car physics are brutal. I couldn't quite get it working last night on stream, but I think I've identified the issues I was having. Hopefully I can get it sorted before tomorrow's stream!

A top-down 2D driving game, but the car decides to just spin around and not behave correctly.

b4ux1t3, 2 months ago to godot

So, no stream tonight. I'm still recovering from whatever crud we ended up suffering from over the weekend. Wednesday we'll get back to it, with the new retrospective series on the games I built last year. The first game on the surgeon's table will be Glampire Asteroid Survivors: https://b4ux1t3.itch.io/glampire-asteroid-survivors

On the stream, I'll be porting it to vanilla #Godot and discussing what I lied about it and what I didn't.

Drop a follow if that sounds like fun!

b4ux1t3, 6 months ago to wordpress

I've never much cared for #wordpress. I'll admit it's purely from early experiences with it, and a year of my life spent on a contract attempting to secure an instance (which was hampered more by ridiculous requirements than wp itself).

That said, I'm seriously considering going from static #jekyll generation to wordpress, purely for the #ActivityPub implementation.

Are there other good ActivityPub-aware #blog platforms? Preferably with #markdown flavored editing.

The worst part about the recent AI hype is that it's made me feel yucky for wanting to do fun things like "sentiment analysis".

Like, you use "AI" in all sorts of places that aren't LLMs. Machine learning is a reapply cool, nuanced and exciting field.

And it's been made nuclear. Just like how I now have to qualify "I enjoy studying crypto" by adding "-graphy" or "-ology" explicitly.

Is there a Google Earth-equivalent open source software? Anyone? Maybe something that at least takes in open street map data and let's you put pins and stuff.

Needs to work offline, I'd like satellite image data but need topographic data.

Asking for #HamRadio reasons, I guess I could try tagging #gis

Bonus points for having a decent api/sdk.

b4ux1t3, 6 months ago to random

The only problem with following hashtags and having them piped directly to your feed. . .is that it makes your feed either a ghost town (if you follow some niche tags) or a firehose akin to the federated feed (if you follow something "generic").

Some examples:

I follow some ham radio tags, and I barely get enough content to justify opening the app on the john in the morning.

Follow TTRPG?

So. Much. Stuff.

Two options for conifer trees. Which do you like? I'm not sure I have the right perspective, but I like them both.

I'm not picking one or the other, since I need a couple variations anyway, I'm just curious which one looks better so I can try to duplicate the style for more variation.

There's a thing that really bothers me in the #HamRadio world. There's a bunch of videos and articles about how to use HTs. How to program them for repeaters, Vox, etc.

I've been a ham for about a year and a half. I have never struggled with how an HT works. Where is the demand for all of these resources?

Once you understand the concepts at play (which, sure, are novel to a new operator, but aren't particularly complex), it's a simple matter to look up how to set a tone on an arbitrary radio.
