Update on SwiftGodot and strict concurrency.

The easy stuff is gone, but the remaining stuff is hard. I could brute force my way to the end, but goal is not to just have it build, I want to make sure that my users can rely on the guarantees and be able to benefit from this additional level of safety.

So the next step will take some time to complete, as many of these will require some research into some Godot features.

if HTTP was so good why didn't they make HTTP 2

There is an interesting article titled "Please Don’t Share Our Links on Mastodon: Here’s Why!" about the startling load that Mastodon's mass-distributed link preview generation has on small independent webservers. But I cannot link it to you, because of a reason

If building apps that sync to iCloud has taught me anything…

…it's that I don't want to build apps that sync to iCloud 😂

Today I saw both a sunrise and a sunset.

I wonder if my life would be happier if I just lived in a place with more windows

If I have a JSON API that's protected by "Authorization: Bearer XXX" API tokens, what are the arguments against sticking these headers on it?

Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *  
Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, POST  
Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Authorization  

I want users of my API to be able to access it via JavaScript from any host

The best argument I can think of is that it may encourage people to leak their private API token in publicly visible HTML documents, anything else?

At the Godot meetup, the speaker is telling us how develops games on his Android phone.

And I am starting to think that maybe I should also target iPhone.

I picked up a 3D printer because my kids had shown a lot of interest in one and I had some ideas for projects I wanted to use one for.

Was nervous about how fiddly everyone made it sound, so I was pleasantly surprised when the first print went perfectly! Second one too. Third had a very minor adhesion problem, but didn't ruin the print...

I've now tried to print a fourth object 6 times and have yet to make it past the second layer successfully. 😭

@thisismissem Do you think the broader fediverse would accept or reject an instance with a route that showed the ActivityPub messages passing between systems in a live 3d display?

I think it would be a fun visualization to build.

I swear, so much complexity of my life right now comes from me wanting to be able to graphically draw out an interconnected hypergraph but also have a convenient textual representation of said hypergraph

I'm sure this makes zero sense to people. But ugh. It's so frustrating to have the ideas in your brain and just not be able to really tease them out in a useful way for others

Whenever I see a news article with an isometric illustration my first reaction is “I’d love to play that game”. In this case I’m imagining rushing to apply surreal repairs (plasters, rubber bands, duct tape) to a miniaturised rail network while the trains are still running on it.
