IT'S HAPPENING, LUA 5.5 https://www.lua.org/work/doc/ CHRISTMAS IN JULY

Fairphone

We are Fairphone

We make technology with a purpose—designed to last longer, perform better, and make a real impact. And we’ve been at it for more than a decade.

Everybody stay calm, it's happening

We're up at 900k blocks now? What did I miss and can I avoid missing the 1M?

How heavy is an object? Easy to tell. How large is an object? Easy to tell. How much is an object worth? I want an SI unit for monetary value lol

How big would you tolerate your application's binary executable being? <100KB? 1MB? 10MB? 100MB? >1GB?

TIL Go has a test coverage tool. It's pretty cool and though something I rarely used in other languages, it allowed me to fix a few edge cases in Litecode's VM. It would be nice if I could stop farting around with VM optimisations and actually write code for other parts of the system instead, but I'm sure there are still bugs to be found in the VM...

Beginning to believe that the VM/interpreter is the ultimate programming pattern. The fact it's possible to write a compiled programming language in itself blew my mind when I first learned about it. The fact it's possible to - write a VM - write a language that runs on the VM - bootstrap the language - write the VM in the language, compiling it to run on itself - jet the VM implementation against itself (not to mention the fact this allows infinite virtualisation with negligible performance degredation) resulting in a semi-interpreted language that is written in itself, still blows my mind today.

They call me the Starman (it's actually closer to 8k repositories starred) And yes, I'll move all my code to nostr-git or Radicle, eventually

"You know, blood would make pretty cool war paint." "Yeah, it was the original war paint."

Ferry meals are such scams. "Yes, I'd love to buy food only to throw it up 1.5 hours later then be hungry again."

Be the reason someone's heart melts a little bit today

How did I not know these animals existed? They seem pretty cool.

XMR market cap now seems to be flying high above its recent sudden spike, was it that event that caused Monero to forget it was a stablecoin? (Also for the rare few coins where the price/market cap charts don't look completely identical, the market cap chart is generally the more useful one I think)

Shartists always crying about generative AI, but just you wait until we develop an AI that can duct tape bananas to walls. Your profession will be done for!

Seems funny how 'inflammable' and 'flammable' are synonyms, as can be 'dust' and 'dedust'. Though 'off' and 'on' can be synonyms in some contexts too, so whatever.

OpenSUSE Server installation successful! 🎉 Now time to start getting the hang of this distro. Having a lot of fun.

Happy 79th, Michael Rosen!

I'd like to congratulate Climate Change for winning the War on Climate Change
