I just wanna jam, dude...

why tf do people from qoto keep trying to follow me tho

Today I confirmed the importance of unit testing when working with an untyped boundary.

I was working with a validated risk analysis code, which takes an array of floats as its input. I basically just had to write a function taking a well-typed Family struct with all the information in named and constrained fields to such an array. The catch is that the input array is large, complex, and poorly documented, and it couldn't be integration tested until all the input generation code was done.

I tested the heck out of each individual data point and the whole structure as I went. Today I hooked it up and, besides one mistaken assumption I was able to easily fix, it worked perfectly!

(last redraft, sorryyy)

I cannot stress this enough: unless you have no other choice, do not run Mac OS.

i resurrected my other pi! there was a solder bridge from an old (now removed) mod which I had to break, and it's as good as new.

quadratic.

So I listened to COUNTER/Weight for the 3rd time and it, uh, still made me cry

all clear :)

I guess the other question raised by this discussion is: what kind of software do people want to see, delivered either on mobile or over the web, that doesn't currently exist/isn't free?

(with exceptions, like if you build software and reject a11y patches that sucks, or if you don't build in anti-harassment mechanisms that sucks - but that's not because you're not doing "the right software", that's because of power dynamics)

also when i say "you shouldn't criticize people for the software they use" i _absolutely_ mean that you shouldn't criticize people for using Pleroma or FreeTusky or whatever the fuck

like you cannot simultaneously hold the opinion that "fediverse technologists" are too stuck up and don't build software for real users, and be upset with people for using the software that meets their needs, no matter how garbage the creators

that's judging software on ideology and that's explicitly what many critics of FOSS say you shouldn't do

"rule 34 of the internet, if it exists there is porn of it"

nah, people were already horny for the creature from the black lagoon, you just didn't know about them

Still proud that this was the first thing I thought to do upon hearing about `impl Trait` https://docs.rs/whiteout/1.0.1/whiteout/
