DRY, but also pre-optimization and dependency hell are bad.

Or breaks a year later and your have to figure out what the fuck you made. The worst thing in the world is when you leave it for the next guy, and you end up being the next guy.

If it was encoded as super low framerate 360deg video files and you just seek to the place in the stream that matches the coordinates, it could use kits stage and bandwidth than other solutions, but it’s still going to be a lot of bytes.

They’re probably spending intervening 10 months cleaning all the embarrassing comments out of the code before the initial commit.

If it was slightly flexible, it’d be a good driving sim screen wrapped half way around the rig.

I started in 2006 web design & development, worked till 2019 when my company dissolved, 5 months before the pandemic.

I moved out of the city and I’m fixing rusty old cars for peanuts. It’s nice, but can still be stressful. Just in a totally different way.

I’m gonna look into that, we have an old kindle collecting dust that would be a good candidate I think!

Getting ptsd from making gouache pallets in 100 level color theory class.

It’s a common problem with underfunded development. Though the lead devs make a big difference too.

Thanks! That’s how I read it as a joke, but why not?

For yay ho would be too much though.

I’ve been recently bingeing Look Mum No Computer’s rescue/re-build/midi-fication of an organ that had been shoehorned into an organist’s home, after the church had been converted. I’m more of an engineer than musician, but it’s amazing how much goes into the layering of sounds from so many different pipes.

My 6 yo loves learning with such a cool soundtrack too.

That’s amazing sounding! Worth the watts, even if I did get church ptsd listening to it.

Oops thanks, I must have missed it when I looked.

I’ll check out the repo when I’m back in front of a computer later.

Add Haier to the list. They’re threatening Homekit devs and issued a takedown on a GitHub hosted HVAC controller for their units. Citing it hurting their income (I assume they mean data mining income when you stop letting them monitor your appliances online).

The dev is looking for a lawyer to consult, and wants to fight, so has probably not got any copyright infringing code in his repo.

Oh and for boycotting purposes, they sell appliances under the brands: Haier, Casarte, Leader, GE Appliances, Fisher & Paykel, Aqua and Candy.

I’ve said both subversion was better, and worse before for sure. PTSD is making it hard to remember what I’ve said when trying to remove a PSD of mpeg you accidentally committed in the first commit and just noticed as you cloned the repo home and it was 2gb for a 3 page website.

Missed at least two of the more important ones:

Still a pretty cool bit idea though. Keep at it!

There are literally dozens of us.

Ruby feels a lot like writing poetry. Especially with microframeworks like Sinatra.

Python feels more like writing JS/ECMAScript without any punctuation.

Then again I cut my teeth on Actionscript (1 ugh, 2 ooo, and 3 nice—oh the iPhone doesn’t support it…), so my opinion is probably pretty worthless.

Yeah, and node was skipped for some reason.

Django (python framework) is almost 20 years old.

Is everyone still using imagemagik under the hood? I’ve been out of the web server game for a while.
