While I love being a lone wolf fedi developer, having nobody to discuss development with gets lonely

My partner, friends and family are not devs, so I resort to our discord and matrix channels to excitingly explain my dev related ideas, progress and thoughts, but it's rare to get a reply

Maybe I should settle with AI, I'm not looking for friendship or general convos, rather more technical discussions related to the context

Not being able to explain/share how proud you are of your code sucks

@dansup where is the matrix channel? I why am I not on it yet?

The internet is a confusing place. I was looking for news stories about Mr Blobby, then I somehow fell down an INSANE rabbit-hole so that when my wife came in and asked what I'm doing because I'm supposed to be getting ready, I said to her the following..................

I'm trying to verify that the man who holds the record for inserting most creme eggs into his anus was eaten by a crocodile.

I hate the internet.

(It's 9!)

Edit - I don't know if they were wrapped or unwrapped and I don't know if he was eaten by a crocodile as the Daily Sport asserts in their article.

1989's Macintosh SE/30L is remembered as one of Apple's biggest flops. MacWorld criticised its rotated L display as "...bringing all of the issues and none of the benefits of a true L display", while MacWeek called it "Some kind of deranged P display nobody asked for".

@NanoRaptor In this decade they revisited this idea, now called "dynamic island"

Spotted on the swap shop. Amazingly enough the text wasn't just 200 pages of "Don't" in different typefaces and languages.

@Dtl Which UI framework are they using in it?

loke,
@loke@functional.cafe avatar

@Dtl It may be text-based user interfaces for DOS then?

I suspect if they were using some X-based UI framework, the title would say so.

As a programming language designer, I think it's bound to happen, but every time it does, it really makes you question yourself:

When people shows they are better at using your language than you are.

I think game designers must feel this all the time.

@loke@functional.cafe avatar

@tfb I agree, if "love" is a synonym for having an attack of something that bears a resemblance to imposter syndrome.

You feel that you are supposed to easily best whatever the person did. How could you not? You know everything about the thing.

I, a total stranger, was thinking of befriending your kid, but before I did, I thought I'd ask you, are they a boring, selfish jerk?

It's fine if they are, I'm just really trying to find quality people to be friends with, so I thought I'd ask you, is your kid a dick?

Wait, don't get offended! How are people supposed to know whether to hang out with your kid if you can't answer a simple question?!

This is a remarkable graph.

You might have heard that "EV sales are slumping", "people are starting to avoid EVs", etc.

That's not what's happening.

What's happening is "Tesla is cratering so hard that it's skewing the aggregate market data."

@huitema @peterbutler @mhoye It appears the US is a bit of an oddball market where BYD isn't found. They sold 3 million vehicles in 2023, and apparently none of them in the US.

I like the @404mediaco podcast. I just have one issue with it.

In the introduction, they say "..both online and... irl". In my mind, I keep wanting them to say "...both online and... off".

There are the people who say "hi" in every DM conversations, even when you continue a discussion from the day before.
And they are the chaos raccoons who said "hi" 8 months ago, and just continue the async discussion, as if days didn't exist in between.
Which one are you?

@stephaniewalter I'm the kind that never says "hi", and just talk. Is that the third type?

There is no way in C to check if a given struct has a member named X, right?
Like, in Python, you'd do hasattr(thing, 'X')?

loke,
@loke@functional.cafe avatar

@zhenech No. Structs is an entirely compile-time construct, and once the code is running, it's just pointer offsets.

loke,
@loke@functional.cafe avatar

@zhenech You don't really have much compile-time control in C (certainly nothing like C++), but if you're asking if it's possible to use the C preprocessor to make compile-time decisions based on the existence of certain fields in a struct, then the answer is no.

The reason for this is that the preprocessor works at the tokenisation level, before the any struct definitions are available.
