Hey everyone! I recently posted about my latest project, a universal fediverse sharing button: https://stefanbohacek.com/project/fediverse-sharing-button/

Is this something that you'd find useful for your website or blog?

EDIT: Thanks everyone for sharing and trying this out! I fixed an issue on iOS some of you might have run into, just FYI.

@stefan Might refer to being too hard for end users to use. A two-click share would be ideal, without having to type your instance's name.. but given the way fediverse works, little you can do about that.

  1. Learn about some useful CMake option.

  2. Try option. Doesn't work.

  3. Read documentation again: "New in version 3.30"

  4. Check own version: 3.29

  5. Quit software.

@code_disaster Otherwise accurate except your version is likely something like 3.29.7-rc3 =)

"But how does it scale?" is a common question for organizational transformation initiatives. The answer is that it scales primarily via enthusiasm and learning, not via structure or framework.

Example:

Let's say the required outcome is to move 100 people over 10 kilometers. Do you:

  1. Build a juggernaut that fits 100 people ๐Ÿšš - the "framework" approach
  2. Organize a 10km fun run and train people up ๐Ÿƒ - the nimble, humane approach

The 10km run is the way

@matthewskelton
Not sure if the example fits. In most places I've worked at, if you tell people to run for 10km, they'll probably look for a new place to work at. Better to hire a bus.

Mind-blowing just how much money's been wasted on the Tories' latest attempt to import US-style gerrymandering. I wonder if it's more or less than Rwanda.

@andrewwillmott I see the point of using a photo ID (that's the way it is in Finland anyway) - but having different rules for different people? That's not right.

@andrewwillmott It's not compulsory to vote here. But if they wanted to get everyone to vote, all they'd need to do is give a free bucket to everyone who does.

@TritTriton @johl I suspect later versions contained more licensed third party components, making open sourcing complicated.

I hate when programmers tell other programmers "Don't do this" "Don't do that". Don't listen to these people.

And don't gatekeep other people's code. Let people program however they want.

Worst thing is, person posting this DOES use early return in their code.

I think programmers just think they're better than others. "I can do this, but you can't". Don't be like that. It's not OK.

sol_hsa,

@sos
There's some actual industrial coding standards that ban early returns.

It's one way to enforce readability, but in my opinion early returns can in some cases actually improve readability.

@sol_hsa@mastodon.online avatar

@slembcke @sos
Wouldn't know. But if you think of a very complex function with many nested structures, having a random return in the middle of it can make it really hard to parse.

What the hell is up with this 'soundbar' trend? First they make TVs so thin they can't fit speakers in, and now people buy an additional device to make the sound come out somewhat ok? How is that helpful?

Remember when 'soundbars' were just part of a television? Now they're 200 euro o_O

@Tijn mine runs Linux, takes a minute to boot, and the remote has buttons for tweaking audio latency because that's an issue with friggin speakers now

Recovering from a back injury, really wishing we had some way to develop software while walking about, especially outdoors. Not looking forward to sitting/standing in one spot again for 90% of working hours.

Some of the most productive time, code-wise, for me was my military service: I thought about code for a week while in there, and coded in the weekends off.

Time sitting at the computer isn't necessarily the most productive time.

@jonikorpi
This doesn't apply to reverse engineering or code archeology, though. You need to have enough of the pieces in your head for it to work.

So I used a new Vulkan descriptor type, but forgot to tell the driver to create a descriptor pool for it.

Windows/AMD: shrug "Ok!"

Debian/Nvidia: shrug "Ok! But that SPIRV extension you asked about? No chance, my friend!"

MoltenVK: "Hey, waaait a minute! Out of memory!"

Thinking about how knots donโ€™t exist, they are just twists so twisted we canโ€™t recognise them as twists because weโ€™re all stupid.

When you think about it, the fact that we can communicate at all is pretty miraculous.
