Here's my favorite git feature that no one knows about:

You can reference commits using the commit message instead of the hash. The ":/" syntax accepts a regex that matches any part of the commit message, returning the youngest matching commit.

Look what just came in the post :-) #pinetime #pine64 .

On the one hand, new highest speed on my regular skating loop. On the other hand, I just know that when I dig into the data I'm going to find out it was a downhill

Dont understand why you would name your filesystem to sound like a syscall error https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/filesystems/erofs.html

TIL about c++ references. At least, a little. I am hoping that my mental model of "do this voodoo to avoid pass-by-copying semantics" is sufficient to avoid my arduino sketch crashing due to inadvertently creating two mqtt PubSubClients

Would anyone like to co-sign my petition on banning the extraction and use of peat in the UK? I only need 5 signatures for it to be considered for publication.

Any UK resident or British citizen overseas can sign.

"Use MQTT", they said. "It's low overhead, simple and you can send anything you like".

Yeah, until you want anything else at all to receive it, in which case if you decided that instead of JSON-encoding all the values in your payload (yes, let's put the burden on the battery-powered low-cpu embedded iot device using an mqtt library with a 256 byte payload size limit) you'd send a binary encoding, you're basically SOL

@technomancy@icosahedron.website have you re-uploaded a bunch of fennel tarballs recently? Either https://fennel-lang.org/downloads/fennel-0.9.1.tar.gz has changed sha256 or Nix is lying to me

(I notice the timestamps are all ~ 2nd May)

TFW after a whole evening looking for ways to create unnamed pipes in bash so you can write a test harness for a program that uses poll(), you give up and write the ducking thing in Ruby

Today in 1964 BASIC made its debut, in an effort to take programming out of the world of machine language.

Share if you're old enough to have gotten your start with it.

I decided that the world does not have enough init replacements already, and because of the risk that anyone else might otherwise find it useful I decided to write it in Fennel.

Wrote a blog post last night and it seems to still make as much sense now as it did when I posted it, so here you are - https://ww.telent.net/2021/4/30/what_s_up_d

Question on my mind is "why is 'women's draughts' apparently a separate sport from just 'draughts'"

I put up a guide for people coming to #fennel from #clojure since that seems to be a common path: https://git.sr.ht/~technomancy/fennel/tree/main/from-clojure.md

if you fit that profile and have some time to read it, I'd be interested in feedback!

Is there a verb form of "shenanigans"? Shenanigate? Shenanigo?

While I'm not super impressed by HSBC's IT skills, I don't think they'd be sending me texts that are quite this fake

Just named a new project "upd", because it brings things up. Now wondering if I missed an opportunity to call it "chunder"

(It's not really new, it's a second attempt at swarm but I kind of lost my way with that one so am rewriting it)

Woke up to a tonne of mailer-daemon messages which seem to be double bounced spam because the bounce messages due to my disk filling up weren't accepted by the sending site

I refuse to (1) use google for mail (or much of anything else), or (2) pay for a mail service (when I so rarely receive any mail I wanted to read anyway), but I am still from time to time wondering why I bother to run my own anyway.

It's time! InfiniTime, the fully #opensource firmware for the #pinetime , has reached version 1.0. With this first end-user release, the PineTime is now considered an enthusiast-grade daily usage device.

I have a voucher for a free vehicle MOT at a Halfords auto centre to be redeemed before the end of May. It’s of no use to myself or anyone else that I know and it would be a shame to waste it.

The first person to send me a DIRECT/PRIVATE reply will get the voucher and I’ll update this thread publicly to confirm it’s been taken.

Thanks!

some way to go with this colemak practice :-(
