tired: not making backups wired: backing up to github inspired: backing up to mastodon posts

update: my estimate of how long it takes to test all f64s was off by several orders of magnitude

@wiedmama@social.linux.pizza @whitequark@social.treehouse.systems @regehr@mastodon.social also like, half the way you get good at programming is by struggling with problems until you understand them better

@whitequark@social.treehouse.systems @regehr@mastodon.social well I think it’s also quite easy to overestimate how well you understand something if you’re not forced to recreate it from scratch kinda like that study where people knew what a bicycle looked like but not how to draw one

@wiedmama@social.linux.pizza @whitequark@social.treehouse.systems @regehr@mastodon.social I don’t like the framing of programming as a linear scale from bad to good. AI can legitimately be good at creating prototypes while being bad at ongoing maintenance. being better than a single person in a single dimension isn’t that hard.

it would also be neat to have the authentication (but not the authorization) tied to something like ATProto so people can self-host their own data if they want to rather than having to keep making new accounts and filling in a bunch of info for each

computation doesn't mean apps, and it doesn't mean software developers. it means everyone making all this for themselves, for their own needs and their own situations. a thousand times this !!!

ok so i have still not found a viewer i like but i have developed opinions. hard requirements: publicly viewableeach card can have a "title" that's always visible and a "body" that isn't shown until clicked, kind of like Trello's "front" and 'back" feature strong preference: people are able to comment on the public viewnice keyboard shortcuts for creating new cards and linking existing cardsa "full" graph, not just a branching tree, where "grandparents" can link directly to "grandchildrenn" weak preference: infinite canvasexports to a standard format, like JSON Canvas or FreeMindway to "reorganize" all the cards at once, moving them around so it minimizes the size of the links between them things i've looked at: Obsidian Canvas (doesn't have title/body)Kinopio (doesn't have title/body)Coggle (doesn't have title/body)tldraw (doesn't have title/body or public comments)orgpad (looks cool so far but the docs are ... very hard to navigate)xmind (still experimenting)

@whitequark there’s a specific line in core::flt2dec::dragon that says “this is probably impossible but handle it just in case” and i’m trying to figure out whether it’s actually impossible or not lol it would be cool to use an SMT solver but hooking it up to bootstrap sounds like a giant pain. maybe something for next release.

@whitequark no actually, just using 10 days of CPU time

wow this really broke containment huh

ok orgpad seems to do everything i want but the docs are hard to navigate and there don't appear to be keyboard shortcuts for creating new cells :(

i've also been suggested https://coggle.it/ and https://orgpad.info/ current leader is kinopio i think, i really like that i can export my data in a standard format

@cb@social.treehouse.systems so my thought is that the WYSIWYG editor wouldn't go through a PR, that it would automatically commit to whatever branch you're editing. that means you need a UI to restrict permissions, but that seems ok to me? I think almost everyone in practice has a "docs that couldn't possibly fail the build" folder. alternatively it could just checkpoint to localStorage until they hit "Save" at the top explicitly, and "Save" opens a PR for them. I don't think we need to worry about atomic commits for stuff like this, one commit is fine. say more about sourcehut? I can't find any docs about it being modular on https://man.sr.ht/

this is based actually #!/usr/bin/env bash files=$(grep -r -E 'cfg\(not\(feature = "ferrocene_subset' -l library | grep -v 'library/stdarch/.*/generated.rs') for file in $files; do sed -i -e '/cfg(not(feature = "ferrocene_subset"/d' "$file" sed -i -e 's/\[cfg_attr(not(feature = "ferrocene_subset"), \(.*\))\]/[\1]/' "$file" done for yml in library/stdarch/crates/stdarch-gen-arm/spec/*/*.yml; do sed -i -e "/- FnCall: \[cfg.*\['feature = \"ferrocene_subset\"'/d" "$yml" sed -i -e "s/attr: \[FnCall: .*ferrocene_subset.*\]\], /attr: [/" "$yml" sed -i -e "s/attr: \[.neon-stable, FnCall.*ferrocene_subset.*/attr: [*neon-stable]/" "$yml" done cd library/stdarch ~/.cargo/bin/cargo +nightly run --bin=stdarch-gen-arm -- crates/stdarch-gen-arm/spec crates/core_arch/src cd ../.. ./x fmt

also i don't know who makes "non-alcoholic malt drink" or why but it's really bad and i don't recommend it

@kouhai @jana Central Eastern Time

@lambda actual fun tbh it only took 18 lines of code!

@kouhai@social.treehouse.systems @cb@social.treehouse.systems in particular, like, you have to weigh the value of review against the chance that people just abandon the PR and it stays open unmerged forever

@kouhai@social.treehouse.systems @cb@social.treehouse.systems yeah idk i am not convinced of this rustc-dev-guide has a policy that anyone in the org can merge changes without review and i think that's good actually. better to have some docs than no docs.

@kouhai@social.treehouse.systems @cb@social.treehouse.systems and also the chance that people get frustrated by how long it takes to make docs PRs, so they decide not to do it again next time

@whitequark@social.treehouse.systems yes! there's also https://github.com/git-bug/git-bug in this space

@saethlin@hachyderm.io iirc solar has been on an ~exponential curve of adoption for the last decade, we just didn’t notice until the last couple years because it was still small in absolute terms

@adam_chal I love how hopeful this is <3

@wffl it’s you!

@blp this is so real

@dngrs this looks fabulous, thanks for the pointer!

@maya tired after a long day’s work? hungry but don’t have the energy to cook? trying toasting four hot dogs and buns at the same time! you surely will not regret toasting and eating four hot dogs and buns at the same time.

@adotinthevoid <333

@lucydev go for it lol

@skysailor @chrisisgr8 hmm i vote for quadratic functions are bouba IFF they only have integer roots

kumo.io is interesting

@Girgias unfortunately no, this was just idle conversation. i did prepare tangerine tea though!

@hunger almost all the work that Ferrocene does is open source, and I would expect the panic detection to be open source if we implemented it. ideally it would even be an (allow-by-default) lint built in to rustc. however that assumes it actually gets implemented. I want to write it! But company policy is that we don’t do this much work unless a customer pays for it.

@blokyk ugh, i fixed it in the source but my rebuild pipeline for PDFs isn't automatic yet. i've fixed this in my site, i'll reach out to the magazine.

@Girgias “chai” means tea in turkish

@whitequark@social.treehouse.systems @regehr@mastodon.social I don’t disagree, but by that standard I think very few people in the world live up to your standard of “zealous”

@liaizon@social.wake.st i want to let other people edit this or at least be able to comment
