Anyone have any success (or failure!) at using #AI "post-prompts" in resumes?

I want a "zooming" interface for photos, where I can sort them "somehow" (e.g. by exif-date) and then zoom way out (and see like thousands at once) and then zoom in on regions (to see a few, down to "one" at a time).
Does this exist?
(FOSS-only suggestions please).

I have this diagram that I want to "deep zoom" into for more detail. It's not that complex or "deep" (yet?) but already showing it as SVG in a browser is "problematic"

I can make the zoom work, but it's really pixelated and crappy until it "rests" at the new zoom level for a while.

Also Inkscape is somewhat grumpy with the file already, even on a decent desktop.

So, obviously I'm using the wrong tools (or using them wrong) -- how should I make this appear on the web?

Using Inkscape:

Should I promote my #python #coverage tool "cuvner" more? https://cuvner.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Do you use it? What could be improved?

Hey #python what other information would you like to see in a CLI coverage tool?

Hey @Coldbike I rarely visit "hacker" "news" but I was on there just now and an older article of yours is #26 ... (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39128311 )

What sort of guide do I need to follow to make links to my Web site look better in Mastodon?
(e.g. https://meejah.ca/blog looks boring, I'd at least put my "logo" or something in there)

I'm producing JSON messages for consumption by other programs running this one as a subprocess. How should timestamps be communicated?

Aside: do non-browser JS runtimes also suffer from dumb limits (2**53)?

Hey #haskell is there a way to work with adwaita + gtk4? (Preferably expressed as an example :)

meejah, 4 months ago to rust

Thanks to @ju and whomever else is involved making https://gtk-rs.org/gtk4-rs/stable/latest/book/ -- as a #Rust newbie, this has so far been a nice introduction to GTK4 in Rust (and all the examples work!)
thanks :)

Prototyping more Dilation things in #magicWormhole and it seems the implementation of "--text" becomes "1:1 chat" ... because current transfer protocol is "one thing, in one direction" but the next-gen Dilation one is "many things, in either direction"...

What if instead of user-stories, the UI was a story ...

... can't stop thinking about a pixel-art themed, "point-and-click adventure" style UI (think "Sierra Online" but fast) that teaches you about the protocol slowly, as you go ... adding more options / features as you explore

Maybe not completely thought through yet, but would you use a "serious" application that had a "fun" interface (assuming it was still fast / small enough to get stuff done)?

Working on some diagrams for a more complex #magicWormhole explainer blog post .. what do you find most confusing about the process?
Did you know you can use it for things besides "file transfer"?

A far more complex diagram of Magic Wormhole, showing most of the interactions, mailboxes and database. It is intentionally low resolution as it is incomplete still.

Companies have normalized asking for a bunch of unpaid labour to prove how much you want a job (aka "take-home assignment").

Lets normalize the approximate inverse: show me the code I'll be working on with one of your developers. A good first question is "show me something you're proud of in here" and a great followup is "show me something that needs a lot more refactoring / work".

I've only done this twice with somewhat mixed results but it at least gives you some picture.

My theory that "nobody will steal a unicycle from my front porch, because hard to ride" has been proved incorrect :(

Integration experiment: "fow" command to better allow experimentation with Magic Wormhole "Dilation" channels without having to write #python code (integration is via local streams, tcp or unix or anything Twisted supports).
