iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Trying to read a scientific article old enough to be in its midlife crisis but it’s still paywalled for some reason. It gets me mad every single time…

Paywalled public research (beyond hosting costs and fair remuneration) is idiotic and anyone doing it should be considered an enemy of democracy.

I love it! Logging into my bandcamp right now 🤠

I used to judge people who copy-pasted code snippets from help forums without understanding them. If only I knew how it would evolve…

I used watch mod showcases all the time and some of them included a lot of furniture and decorative blocks. I don’t remember any that were specifically IKEA themed though.

Setting up a VM of win11 on my linux desktop to make binaries of an app I'm working on... I never new I could hate Windows more than I did before. At least powershell doesn't get in the way since it aliases a lot of common commands to equivalent unix ones.

I made a 2 hidden layers NN to control a robot with a target behavior in class. It is fun at the beginning but it gets increasingly excruciating the more complex the objective becomes.

I wrote an essay about why I'm done using AI for coding, even if it costs me my job and career: brettcodes.com/im-done-usin... The basic gist is: AI made me a worse, apathetic programmer. I think it's bad for humanity, the planet, and the craft of software engineering. And I'm done using it.

I'm done using AI

Why I'm stopping using AI for coding (and anything else) after using it earnestly for a year and coming to understand the harms it causes on personal, societal, and environmental levels.

guys im sorry i paid etsy witches $64 to hex neovim because the instructions for setting up lsp autocomplete were too complicated and i got upset :( i didnt mean for this to happen

edit: maintainers, not contributors ffs

Yeah, I agree. It's more about the image of the conference participants themselves than the project they contributed to a while ago, but it *does* reinforce the idea that neovim contributors can be "morally flexible".

Sure, but he is still a prominent figure of the neovim community.

TJ DeVries at Omacon organised by DHH

I am afraid of the future of neovim. I truly hope the project stops associating itself with people like DHH. Should the situation stagnate, I'll go look for another editor.

Thanks for the correction :) I still have to learn a lot about Unicode but I felt I had to tell my frustration to the world.

Unicode equivalence - Wikipedia

Now go read the wikipedia article because I could have misinterpreted stuff wrong : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode...

That way, you can fuck up your byte for byte string comparison the canonical way too! No but really, there were instances of file system problems caused by NFC / NFD in the past. Moreover, conversion is lossy, sometimes, NFD(string) != NFD(NFC(NFD(string))) I love unicode (:

Introducing: Canonical form*S* (yes plural) There are 4 forms : NFC, NFD, NFKC and NFKD. C means Composed (like option 1) D means Decomposed (like option 2) and K means Kompatibility (something about sequences of character modifiers)

Wouldn't it be messed up if there was two ways to write "é" in Unicode code points? 1) 'é' (0x00e9) 2) 'e' (0x0065) followed by '◌́' (0x0301) I mean, duh. But think of the consequences... you can write the same word with a different number of bytes, and completely different bytes.

Drawing all 16,777,216 possible 12 bit RGB colours in one 2D image, each exactly once. Pixels are mapped from the 256³ colour cube, following a three dimensional Hilbert curve, to a two dimensional Hilbert curve filling the square. so nearby colours stay close.

1. make a model to predict a part of reality 2. model works on that domain 3. $$$ 4. use the model a lot, trust it, more than yourself 5. the model is the truth 6. use it outside of its domain 7. no longer correct, you don't notice, no trust in yourself 8. consequences thanks 4 coming 2 my TED talk

Reviewers noted that while Vim for Gameboy featured one of the deepest command systems on the platform, its soundtrack consisted primarily prolonged silence punctuated by occasional terrifying beeps.

the fact that you can instantiate a Qt Thread object and call its run method without warning from the gui thread is kinda funny lol. And there I was, wondering why the the interface was hanging...

Note that this extrapolation model is not a linear regression on the log(goals/match) by year. The log-regression method is much more reasonable and Messi would then be expected to score over 100 goals/match only by 2058.

I’ve seen people use samba as a first solution for a NAS outside of the MS env and get stuck with it because the transition is tedious. I guess past adoption makes problems better known and known bad outcome > unknown one? My hater ass would never tho
