@klaxzy@klaxzy.net This is a good idea. I do something very simialr.

@thecanine@twtxt.net haha https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_be_evil

Real tired of doing these, but here’s another Android developers vs Google update, this time there’s both good and bad news.

The good:
-Users will be able to enable “sideloading” for all current and future devices, attached to their Google account, rather than having to undergo the tedious 24 hour wait including process, on each device.

-Rather than these changes to “sideloading” and “advanced workflows” being implemented at random different dates, in different countries, we’ll all get them come 2027.

The bad:
As GrapheneOS developers recently mentioned “Google replaced pushing Git tags for certain source code with obtaining source code via Google Drive after making a request through Google Forms. It’s completely ridiculous and they’ve gradually become very slow at handling requests. They’re in clear violation of the GPLv2 now.”

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com What kind of IoT devices are we talking about here?

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net Turns out, it’s not a cool project. :-D

Can you build from source? Perhaps not if there is just a download link.

It’s been a hot minute since I last used alien to convert a Debian package into an RPM packge. Or was it the other way around? No clue.

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net I hear you! haha

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ta!

@david@daiwei.me I noticed Boy Boy have a lot of gems. :-D

This cookie banner button uses “Abfall” in the German translation for probably “Reject” or “Configure”, I don’t know, simply left the site. This literally means waste, garbage, rubbish, trash. Spot on! :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de HTTP 402!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Glad to hear it. Hopefully this, too, shall pass.

Maybe the bots will get tired of web-surfing, or the companies paying for it will all crash, or we’ll find a way to protect our content while still being able to share it, or maybe we’ll just all suddenly learn to live together with the bots in peace and prosperity for all. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ 🤞

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com On behalf of her royal highness, we thank you for your kind words.

@arg@twtpub.com You actually can, but we highly discourage it and I haven’t really built “Edit” / “Delete” functionality in the Twtxt App that I know you’re using 😅 Twtxt being purely decentralised, meaning that there are absolutely zero decentralised, with the exception of the twtpub.com service you’re using to reduce as much friction as possible for newcomers to try things, makes supporting threads a bit of a controversial topic 😆 – In the end we are sticking with the Hash v2 extension, making threads use content addressing, so even if you did delete/edit a Twt, you have to be carefuly it hasn’t already been replied to in the ecosystem 🤣

@david@daiwei.me Haha 😆

@arg@twtpub.com ohai

@david@daiwei.me since I became linuxpilled and embraced SSH, I do my Wordles through https://late.sh/

Can strongly recommend it, even has all the other daily puzzles: minesweeper, sudoku, solitaire, nonogram (kinda hate those),…

Maybe not the best family activity, the chat can be somewhat spicy and so can the collaborative ASCII art drawing game.

@arg@twtpub.com Hello! 👋

In #Magic last night, I debuted my new #Dune deck with an underwhelming performance - perhaps unsurprisingly for a desert-focused deck, I faced a real drought, starting the game with only 1 land in hand (even after a mulligan) and not pulling another land until turn 4(!). Because of our house starting mana, I wasn’t totally sunk, but everything I got out was just luck. I did die last thanks to my big wurms (so I guess I was 2nd place?), but still… underwhelming.

For game 2, I wanted to bring the thunder (especially after my pitiful performance last week), so I dusted off my Night of 1000 Squirrels deck (headed by the infamous Chatterfang, Squirrel General). By turn 3, the #squirrel army was forming, and thanks to well-timed casts of Fog and Make a Stand, the squirrels managed to overrun everyone just a few turns later.

Another fun night overall. I won’t be able to play for the next few weeks, so I’m glad this one ended with a win. 😁 #mtg

Today, we have a pair of pics presenting the preening Princess Peaches posing in pink (from earlier this year, when it was cooler and she was wearing t-shirts). #dogs

@david@daiwei.me Thanks, I do… IIRC, they’re a good site for spoilers for upcoming releases.

:‘-D

@murad@twtxt.net Yes things do work 🤣

@murad@twtxt.net Welcome to Yarn.social / Twtxt 🥳 You might want to fiddle a bit with your settings, maybe a nice avatar, description, maybe a few links, etc 😃

I took the day off to get some stuff done around the house, but I wound up spending most of the day making #Dune-themed proxies for #Magic.

I had hoped to print them out for tomorrow night’s games, but I’m up to 20 cards and 20+ tokens, so… we’ll have to wait and see what tomorrow brings.

Here’s a couple to share and enjoy:

#NoRegrets #mtg

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Dropped you en Email 📧

@prologic@twtxt.net Sure, I’m curious to see what you’re offering.

My email is hey (at) itsericwoodward.com.

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Can I count you in as a potential customer then? I’ll find a way to DM and share details with you. But rest assured it’ll have everything you could possibly want 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Potentially, depending on the features supported / hardware used.

I’ve long wished for an appliance (like a video game console) that hosts my essential services - email, shared files, social media, etc. - but which “just runs” in a box behind the TV.

So what do you have in mind? 🤔

@david@daiwei.me I’ll DM you 😅

@david@daiwei.me Haha 🤣

@creeper@twtpub.com Hey ! 👋 Welcome to Yarn.social / Twtxt 🤗

@prologic@twtxt.net

And just like that Problem 10 is done and correct whoohoo 🥳 It was easy because in Problem 7 I’d already written an iterator to produce infinite primes. So the solution for finding the sum of primes under 2,000,000 is basically (shortened):

  primes := iter.take_while(iter.filter(prime_candidates(), is_prime), fn(p) { p < n })
  print(iter.sum(primes))

And of course the answer is: 142913828922 which took ~21.ss for the Go Vm to compuete.

What’s interesting here… Which is the interesting thing about Mu is the dual runtime. So the above solution for Euler Problem 9 finds the solution in ~429ms with the Go VM and ~327ms natively compiled to darwin/arm64. Not bad for a language I haven’t really done any optimization work on yet (correctness first obviously).

Oh man wow 😮 Problem 9 was quite hard 😱 I had to build two new functions in the Mu stdlib for computing combinations and permutations, but then the combinations of range(1000) for triples such as a + b == c is enormous! So i had to write iterator versions of these to do lazy evaluation. Anyway solution follows:

#!/usr/bin/env mu

// Special Pythagorean Triplet

import "iter"

fn usage() {
  print("Usage:", args()[0], "<n>")
}

fn sqr(x) { x * x }

fn main() {
  if len(args()) < 2 {
    usage()
    exit(1)
  }

  n := must(int(args()[1]))
  print("n:", n)

  // For a < b < c and a + b + c == n, both a and b are strictly less
  // than n/2. Generate only (a,b) combinations and derive c directly. This
  // keeps the search lazy and reduces n=1000 from C(999,3) = 165,668,499
  // candidate triples to C(499,2) = 124,251 candidate pairs.
  pairs := iter.combinations(iter.range(1, n / 2), 2)

  triples := iter.map(pairs, fn(xs) {
    a := xs[0]
    b := xs[1]
    return [a, b, n - a - b]
  })

  // Enforce b < c; a < b is already guaranteed by combinations over an
  // increasing range, and a + b + c == n holds by construction.
  triples = iter.filter(triples, fn(xs) {
    return xs[1] < xs[2]
  })

  // Euler 9 has one answer for n=1000. find() stops the entire upstream
  // iterator chain as soon as the first Pythagorean triple is found.
  answer := iter.find(triples, fn(xs) {
    return sqr(xs[0]) + sqr(xs[1]) == sqr(xs[2])
  })

  print(answer)

  if answer != nil {
    print(answer[0] * answer[1] * answer[2])
  }
}

main()

It is such a nice feeling that Mu is such a capable little language 😅 And I decided to write code code in Mu by hand 🤚 haha 🤣 and start solving Project Euler problems, like Problem 8 which works out to be a nice elegant solution in Mu:

#!/usr/bin/env mu

// Largest Product in a Series

import "fp"
import "sys"

fn usage() {
  print("Usage: cat |", args()[0], "<n>")
}

fn products(xs) {
  return fp.reduce(xs, 1, fn(x, y) {
    if y == nil {
      return x
    }
    return x * y
  })
}

fn main() {
  if len(args()) < 2 {
    usage()
    exit(1)
  }

  s := must(sys.read_all(0))
  if len(s) == 0 {
    usage()
    exit(1)
  }

  n := must(int(args()[1]))
  r := fp.max(fp.map(fp.sliding(fp.map(s, int), n), products))
  print(r)
}

main()

@arne@uplegger.eu Schade um diese ganzen Giganten. Das wird uns zukünftig öfters blühen.

@arne@uplegger.eu Achso, klasse Atlas, dieser Copernicus-Browser! Danke, kannte ich noch nicht.

@arne@uplegger.eu Also von da oben sieht das meiner Auffassung nach wirklich hübsch aus, da kann man echt nichts sagen. Mir gefällt’s prächtig. Gut, wenn man dieser Brühe dann auf Meereshöhe begegnet, ist das sicherlich ‘ne andere Sache.

@david@daiwei.me Haha, what a funny price, 1234 cents!

@david@daiwei.me Next year, apparently, but less spectacular. 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Nice! Oh yes, observing the sun is exhausting, it’s always so hot. And for not using a tripod, these shots are pretty good!

@anth@a.9srv.net Haha 😆

@brytboi@twtpub.com I hope you’re seeing my replies because you absolutely can scroll up in the app. Let me know if you’ve run into a bug though and report it to me so I can fix it immediately!

@brytboi@twtpub.com no a subset of markdown is fully supported by the app!

@prologic@twtxt.net Oh no, i’m pretty sure if devrel or sales from one of these companies ever called me, my end if the conversation would be much better summarized by this: http://txtpunk.com/foac

@brytboi@twtpub.com I mean you can, technically. But most clients won’t render Javascript or HTML fragments at all. Only Markdown, Text, Images and Links.

@brytboi@twtpub.com Hey! 👋 Welcome to Yarn.social / Twtxt 🤗

@david@daiwei.me Please report any logs from the Javascript console if you can. It’s possible the one commit I made to the Swag framework might be the culprit here. Not sure.

@anth@a.9srv.net Where’s the other side of this? Your side? 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org You are correct, 👍, however, not what I was thinking in this case. More of just a reminder/nudge.
