Pinellas County - Long run: 11.04 miles, 00:09:47 average pace, 01:47:57 duration
my legs were dead tired. i meant to stop and take a picture of this skeleton sitting in a dead tree but missed it. was chatting up a fellow running named vincent and lost track of time. also saw some friends and their daughter out riding bikes. the last overpass i walked over since my HR was getting high. decent run for having little to no energy after yesterdays session.

@prologic@twtxt.net Go just moved back to second place. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Nice! I would have missed the plane if you hadn’t pointed it out. :-) Venus is very visible these days. When a mate and I went on a night walk during clear sky this week, the night sky looked really great, it was easy to spot the second planet. We got lucky, ISS just passed above our heads, too. Most of the week, it was cloudy, though.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, that’s a good one! :-D I came across this one before, but couldn’t remember the answer.

@prologic@twtxt.net I’m gonna give you a hint: Octal, decimal. 😅

View from my window last evening:

Moon, Venus, an airplane in the top left corner, wind parks in the distance.

(This is already too much for a standard camera. The moon is super bright, the rest is not. Guess I should go HDR some day?)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That is a good one! It took me 15 minutes to get it. 🤓

went too hard and did not realize it until after the second overpass. the very last leg of the run there was a dog shitting and making the most hilarious sound the dog owner and i couldn’t stop laughing.

This Sculpt OS video walkthrough explains how to use Sculpt OS
We talk about the Genode project and Sculpt OS quite regularly on OSNews, but every time I’ve tried using Sculpt OS, I’ve always found it so different and so unique compared to everything else that I just couldn’t wrap my head around it. I assume this stems from nothing but my own shortcomings, because the Genode project often hammers on the fact that Sculpt OS is in daily-driver use by a lot of people with … ⌘ Read more

Building a (T1D) smartwatch from scratch
If you have type 1 diabetes, you need to keep track of and manage your blood glucose levels closely, as if these levels dip too low, it can quickly spiral into a medical emergency. Andrew Childs’ 9 year old son has type 1 diabetes, and Childs was unhappy with any of the current offerings on the market for children to keep track of their blood glucose levels. Most people suggested an Apple Watch, but he found the Apple Watch “too much device” for a kid, … ⌘ Read more

@prologic@twtxt.net Yes, C has it. I even thought that C invented it, but it seems to stem from CPL.

The closest to get to if expressions at the moment is to use a lambda:

foo := func() {
    if bar {
        return "spam"
    }
    return "eggs"
}()

But that’s also not elegant at all.

@arne@uplegger.eu Auweia! Wär’s da nicht sinnvoller, von dem Ding möglichst zügig wegzukommen? Ich hab keine Ahnung, was es da heutzutage so an tauglichen Alternativen gibt. Aber selbst alles selber zu bauen, wär da ja mittelfristig weniger aufwändig, wenn man das mit dem ständigen Zusammenkehren der Scherbenhaufen vergleicht.

The Heirloom Project provides traditional implementations of standard Unix utilities. In many cases, they have been derived from original Unix material released as Open Source by Caldera and Sun.

Most utilities are also included in a variant that aims at POSIX conformance. On the interior, technologies for th … ⌘ Read more

Android 16’s Linux Terminal will soon let you run graphical apps, so of course we ran Doom

I tried running GIMP, for example, but it didn’t work. Eventually, Android should be able to run Linux apps as well as Chromebooks can, as I believe one of the goals … ⌘ Read more

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Es ist immer noch so ähnlich. Da kommen so viele verschiedene Ebenen innerhalb und außerhalb der TYPO3-Umgebung zusammen, dass man sich wundert.

Und die TYPO3-Core-Entwickler nehmen gefühlt jeden fancy Shice mit, den sie gerade finden. Das reißt dann immer wieder Prozesse ein oder es muss ein gigantischer Aufwand betrieben werden, damit “grundlegende” Funktionen wieder hergestellt werden.
In den Kommentaren ist dann immer nur zu lesen “Tja, Pech. Gibt’s nicht mehr. Sei froh, dass wir ‘ne undokumentierte Schnittstelle dazu im Code versteckt haben. Bau’s dir selbst.”
Und der OpenSource-Gedanke ist bei einigen Erweiterungen (die als Quasi-Standard gelten) auch nur noch zu erahnen. Da müssen teilweise Abos abgeschlossen werden, damit einige Funktionen genutzt werden können.

Es wird auf jeden Fall nie langweilig.

@xuu@txt.sour.is I think I also ran into CSRF problems with multiple open yarnd tabs in the past.

@xuu@txt.sour.is Ah, it was JS then. Thanks. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Okay, cool. :-) I’ll look at Mutt this year. I have the feeling I might like it after some initial pain.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org The one in question is more like the javascript version for unwrapping errors when accessing methods.

 const value = some?.deeply?.nested?.object?.value

but for handling errors returned by methods. So if you wanted to chain a bunch of function calls together and if any error return immediately. It would be something like this:

b:= SomeAPIWithErrorsInAllCalls()
b.DoThing1() ?
b.DoThing2() ?

// Though its not in the threads I assume one could do like this to chain.
b.Chain1()?.Chain2()?.End()?

I am however infavor of having a sort of ternary ? in go.

PS. @prologic@twtxt.net for some reason this is eating my response without throwing an error :( I assume it has something to do with the CSRF. Can i not have multiple tabs open with yarn?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Fingers crossed! :-)

@thecanine@twtxt.net It’s always nice to look at your creations.

The impossible happened, and I actually drew something, second month in a row. Wanted to try drawing him standing, with some semblance of correct anatomy, without heavily referencing someone elses drawing, bring back the collar, darker “hair” and separate every different color, with a black line - for some kind of a more simplified look.

Oh yeah, @aelaraji@aelaraji.com, electrostatic cat fur to the rescue! :-D

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org would it work wit cats instead? there has been a whole flock of them in the neighborhood the last couple of days, one female and a gazillion males taking turns 😅 … at least they’d be good for something other than their non-stop after midnight opera 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net Which one? I don’t mind the ternary operator at all. In fact, I often find myself missing it in Go. I don’t find the two alternatives particularly elegant:

foo := "eggs"
if bar {
    foo = "spam"
}

Or:

var foo string
if bar {
    foo = "spam"
} else {
    foo = "eggs"
}

To my eye, this just would look a lot nicer:

foo := bar ? "spam" : "eggs"

Or at least as the Pythons do it:

foo = "spam" if bar else "eggs"

The ternary operator especially shines with relatively short expressions.

@arne@uplegger.eu Ohjemine, TYPO3! O_o Lass mich schreiend davonlaufen!

Mit dieser absoluten Katastrophensoftware vor dem Herrn haben wir mal ein Studienprojekt gemacht. Die hat alle Vorurteile komplett übererfüllt. Angefangen von Fehlerseiten, die statt 4xx oder dergleichen immer mit HTTP 200 ausgeliefert wurden oder auch, dass das generierte HTML leider einfach ungültig war. Über die Implementierung von Löschen durch einen Deleted-Schalter in der Datenbank, das Speichern von Passwörtern im Klartext bis hin zu völlig umständlichen Bedienungskonzepten. Alles hat immer brutal viele Schritte gebraucht. Das Zeilennummernrumgeeier im TYPO-Script erinnerte eher an Basic. Uns kam es auch so vor, als ob man damit nicht ernsthaft was sinnvolles machen könnte.

Zu allem Überfluss hatte irgendwer noch ein ganz hundsmiserables Buch ausgegraben, das als Vorbereitung dienen sollte. Ich kann mich zum Glück weder an den Titel noch den Autor erinnern, aber ich weiß noch, wie das komplett inkonsistent geschrieben war. Anfangs gabs mehrere Seiten zu Unicode und UTF-8 wurde angepriesen, aber alle Beispiele haben dann auf ISO-8859-1 gesetzt. Gezeigter Beispielcode war häufig unterste Schublade. Selten hab ich so merkwürdige Erklärungen gelesen: „Wenn Sie die Sicherheitswarnhinweise stören, kommentieren Sie doch bitte im Quelltext die die()-Funktion in $ZEILE aus.“ Oder ein anderer Klassiker: „Ausgeschrieben würde der Code wohl folgendes tun…“. War sich der Autor also nicht ganz sicher, ob sein Codeschnipsel vllt. doch in Wahrheit was ganz anderes tut.

Seit diesem gigantischen Trauma (das hat mich wirklich sehr nachhaltig geprägt, wie man Dinge nicht machen sollte) hab ich erfolgreich einen Bogen um das TYPO3-Universum gemacht.

Ich kann nur hoffen, dass es zwischenzeitlich ein wenig besser geworden ist. Aber Deinem Kurzbericht zufolge scheint da ja immer noch der Wurm drin zu sein. Mein Beileid! :-(

I want to propose my own counter-proposal to the discussion that’s ongoing with Go and error handling.

Here it is: https://docs.mills.io/ix4qDHMnQUSPxZ5tXz12Vg?view

It’s very rough and needs much more work, but essentially I want to propose the following change to the language’s grammar:

f := os.Open("foo.txt") or (e error) {
    log.Fatal("error opening file; %s", e)
}
