I love that Debian discovered both the failure of crowdsourcing a web of trust via keysigning parties (someone used ID in their name but issued by a fake country) and the failure of assuming upstream is trustworthy (an upstream buried code that wouldn't trigger on the Debian maintainer's system but would everywhere else) back in the 2000s but the free software ecosystem is still trying to come up with social solutions to a technical problem

@mjg59 but The Ken Thompson Hack might show that even examining every single line of code is insufficient

Most people on earth can’t remember anything before 1997.

@NanoRaptor lines up with my realization long ago that Civilization is only twenty-something years old.

We hope to pass progress forwards, but the young do have to learn much for themselves before they can pick up the torch. What can be learned and understood in that much time is what our world has to function with.

@RL_Dane @NanoRaptor ah, yes. Remember that do well from my karaoke coding days. Heh, and the subject of my 11+ year old still-pending patch for Sodipodi.

So easy to do, yet way too easily overlooked.

@joncruz@mstdn.social avatar

@NanoRaptor @RL_Dane oh, I know exactly what you're talking about.

I did a huge amount of drag-n-drop work in my multimedia days, Java in devices and security UIs, and extensively with Inkscape. With the latter we had Scribus, Blender, Gimp, Krita, and other devs collaborating on all of it.

Post-cyberdog and COM era was very interesting.

@RL_Dane @NanoRaptor yeah. GCC/Egcs, Sodipodi/Inkscape, Hudson/Jenkins, OpenOffice/LibreOffice...

Funny about Trump and his immigrant hatred. I wonder if it is a type of self-loathing. He is the grandchild of two immigrants, the child of an immigrant, the probable biological father of five children with one or three immigrant grandparents, and probable biological father of four children with an immigrant mother.
Methinks the orange Mussolini feels inferior and is afraid.

@nilsskirnir and his grandfather was an illegal emmigrant to boot

I created something perfect on accident yesterday, and I cannot show any of you.

Not because it is a secret or anything, just because I can't record it without it turning into total garbage.

It is beautiful and perfect I want to make a whole game out of it and also Gnome's screen recording thing just completely shits itself when I try to record it, so you'll just have to pretend you understand just how good this all is.

@aeva that sounds even more perfect. 🎉

@aeva the black and white cat is currently to my side over on the back of the sofa, eyes closed, paws well in front of him, contented and "smiling" at me.

Cats. Good.

The Leaving Rust Gamedev article resonates with most of the frustrations I've had working on the internals of Tangerine (C++) since I converted it from being largely single threaded spaghetti to aggressively concurrent spaghetti, and that's making me think maybe I'd have a better time if I picked a different language for the hot paths, because necessary non-compulsory refactoring also kills iteration time.

I just don't know what though, because nothing ever seems to fit the bill of what I need.

joncruz,
@joncruz@mstdn.social avatar

@aeva well... I know that it started out as Java mutated to support COM (with delegates thrown in because they were the pet feature of the poached architect) and was not a bad choice if you were doing Windows only products. Personally I preferred not to limit myself so stuck with C, C++, and Java (though now and again I have a business reason to use C#). I've also watched Windows dev teams fail in their "bring our app to Linux" efforts. Last couple of years it's finally more viable, but still...

Found out that the reason the anti-genocide protestors at Cal Poly #Humboldt built barricades is because the first night the cops drove a truck into the crowd of students, apparently trying to run them down.

Interesting dynamics when I see a post get more boosts than likes. Not a common thing on other social networks.

I think it highlights the subtle difference of promoting communication over popularity.

Kinda replacing "Ooh, I like this. Let me share it" with "oh, this is interesting information. Let me spread it"

Drat. I have all my apps set to manual update, but they force-pushed an update behind my back this afternoon and I'm now on "#X" instead of "".

Hey, I'm fine with them blocking the old client until I update, but don't sneak onto my device and do a rug pull while I'm not looking.

Hey people, when you start tossing anti-immigrant hate lies into my timeline, please keep in mind that my last name is Cruz for a reason.

I updated a thing.

Now optionally with two clip arms for better hugs! Your pen with a happy face can now hug your notebook covers to spread more joy.

Well, I've dived into a new hobby again. !

I got myself a Bambu Lab A1 mini, and I am having so much freaking fun.

@tylermumford what software are you using? I still need to get proficient at modern Blender, but have done most of my recent work with OpenSCAD or FreeCAD

joncruz,
@joncruz@mstdn.social avatar

@tylermumford congrats!

Doing your own models yet?

joncruz,
@joncruz@mstdn.social avatar

@tylermumford oh, yes. Most definitely. One of the good aspects is that all three I mentioned have versions for Linux, Mac, and Windows. So no platform lock-in.

Lemme try to track down some links, as I've given "I've stumbled into this cool tool" jumpstart intro talks on two of them.

CPUs always seem kinda confused when you hold them at 100% load for more than a few seconds

joncruz,
@joncruz@mstdn.social avatar

@aeva as long as it's parallel (and for the record I generally take it as a given that you're doing and conveying things accurately).

Also what made me sadder about "load" tonight was waiting on Cura slicer and pulling up system monitor to see it using only one of 32 CPUs 😿.

Given that I'm needing to bump it to 4x the pieces to make this collapsing cane work, I might need to check other slicers.

joncruz,
@joncruz@mstdn.social avatar

@aeva I still keep thinking about a co-worker mentioning to me that "load" is one of the worst measurements, and top is not that great.

Still tempted to do a pure X11 alternative to xload.
