This bench is cool. I am cutting with hand-held circular saws for the first time in my life and I'm super careful and don't trust the murder blades. Workholding and having clearance for the blade at once isn't trivial. But here, you just have a slatted tabletop to do the job. Cool!
Hey folks 👋
@simonbs@mastodon.social recently mentioned how genuine, human blogging doesn't get the attention from The Algo's, internet's dead, etc.
I suggest a crafty countermeasure:
Swift Blog Carnival.
A host per month, setting a topic, gathering posts from the community. 🔁
To bring the community of writers together and also showcase smart people who don't have an audience.
WDYT? @mattiem@mastodon.social @donnywals@chaos.social @twostraws@mastodon.social @azamsharp@iosdev.space @dimsumthinking@mastodon.social @helge@mastodon.social @natpanferova@mastodon.social @marioguzman@mastodon.social
I volunteer to set this up
My daughter doesn't let me sit in front of the computer for 5min -- but we can sit on the floor and she hums along and plays with dirt while I do woodworking for 30--60min easily.
If this is a common pattern, modern work and family is broken.
https://xn--gckvb8fzb.com/i-regret-migrating-to-codeberg/ rants about #codeberg ToU changes now disallow 'vibe-coded' projects; the blog post announcement is phrased oddly.
I'm a voting member, and the votes on the PR were more like 70%/30% pro/contra; it's not divisive, but at least not unanimously backed -- and still it is a much more sensible position in isolation:
https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/pulls/1253/files
The blog post I didn't vote for, and it goes beyond the down-to-earth internal presentation in a bad way.
But we can improve together.

I've just fixed the LSP and SourceKit project setup for better caching of symbols in the app and now Emacs file opening takes forever for some arcane reason. Gah!
Replying to
@finestructure@mastodon.social yes! It's not really accessible but also not not accessible at all
I heard Swift works for ESP32 programming.
I've heard the Xteink X4 is an ESP32 device.
Hmmmmmm

@simon@fedi.simonwillison.net Huh, I wonder why the 37signals cross-functional, independent team thing was removed.
That was one of the clearest, shortest ways to put it, and it sounded like the future (and it still sounds like it today esp. with reorgs and small teams running circles around big companies with AI-based disruption promises)
Did your research produce any reason why?

@jameshowell@fediscience.org That write-up is so spot on, thanks for sharing the link! You're really missing out on some fun if you haven't tried the whole stack and fiddled with it :)

I have the game gadgets, only my 8bit do has been chewed on (by my daughter) and both are an absolute delight!
I have the game gadgets, only my 8bit do has been chewed on (by my daughter) and both are an absolute delight!I think we should ship a browser extension with a regexp that replaces phrases like
"This is what Gemini/ChatGPT/Claude/... said about ..."
with
"I shat on the carpet and this is what it told me"

@mijustin@mastodon.social I had a lot of fun with color palettes and Claude Desktop, too; you can nudge it really far and end up generating a Corporate Design System reference JSX page with theme selector, WCAG accessibility level contrast, ... :)
Lego Movie Maker war propaganda? Ugghhnn what a weird time
I've been using the pi agent for a couple of weeks and the fact the tool is able to modify itself through interactions is really nice.
It's like starting with a less capable Emacs, but one where you don't need to spend as many years fiddling with things before you get things like UI popovers center screen to increase readability of long walls of text, for example.
I think that malleability is what draws me in.

@marioguzman@mastodon.social I also like your concrete suggestions for sidebar and window widths a lot. Good to hear my guesstimates fall into range -- maybe add the sidebar widths to your Sidebar Guidelines docs, too?
Replying to
@simonbs@mastodon.social I know it's bleak, but we are all the hope we have, so! :)
would you love to be part of a Swift dev carnival? I started one for Emacs and it's going great. :)

@simonbs@mastodon.social blogging never stopped
By sheer popularity, the mainstream approach is different, so it's fair to say that "the internet has changed" in aggregate
But we can easily recreate corners for communities like this again

@ivmirx "HTTP server inside the app"?
For me, that's a totally unexpected angle to do this.
Tell us more about the difference to using XCUITests in practice!
Replying to
@ivmirx I wonder if there's a parallel to requirements docs.
The analogy isn't perfect, but with requirements
- you have a lot of text
- changing the requirements is not fun
- drift happens a lot and is annoying
LLM's are much better at somewhat repeatedly compare text and code and verify spec drift.
Replying to
@ivmirx oh then you're maybe not missing out too much :)
I recently scripted a pipeline where I could run automatec XCUITest-based app tests for Mac via a VM (so that my host machine's screen is not blocked and my cursor not captured by the automation runs)

@BioSchweiz@troet.cafe @DePaelzerBu@pfalz.social spannend, ich hab mir dazu noch nie Gedanken gemacht, dass man mit effizienten Wärmetauscher halt nur kurzfristig lokale Differenzen erzeugt! Am Ende gibts immer Verlust usw usf, ja, aber dass dabei gar keine GHG anfallen, wenn man Solar nutzt, macht ja was aus.
Was das wiederum wohl heißt, wenn •alle• dazu Zugang hätten und 10⁰C innen\außen Differenz wieder hochskaliert betrachtet werden kann?
