@alter_kaker @mhoye this maintainer finds that the vast majority of contributions come from users. Having a #MailingList where users and devs can talk to each other is really useful. That's one thing #Sourceforge got right and I wish #Github would implement it.

@alter_kaker @breadandcircuses Regarding the metaphor of sociopathy, I'm using it because it specifically is associated with lack of conscience. I have no mental health credential, so my use is purely descriptive from a lay point of view.
I don't by using this term mean to suggest per se irrationality (an inability to reason) as might come with some actual mental disorders. We're speaking metaphorically here, and metaphors are not literal equivalences. But rather I mean the kind of reckless indifference and appearance of actual cruelty that results in a weirdly logical way if you steadfastly fail (or refuse) to consider moral questions.
This is an artifact particularly of shareholder capitalism. Stakeholder capitalism is better. See my essay Losing the War in a Quiet Room.

Bro, you surely have not read a single post of @alter_kaker, have you? He's against what Israel does in Gaza. But people like you just see an orthodox jew asking legit questions on #antisemitism and snap wtf. I think you should say sorry. -

Please take this fabulous piece of furniture. Send this to all your friends. I only have a few more days, then it's going to have to go in the dump.

Oh, it turns out that I'm playing Twisting of the Hayrope on the Low D whistle on @plotnik 's album release show tonight at Seward Cafe.
(I had only originally planned to play banjo on one song but you know how it is)

It works! I can push a commit to my #11ty website, and it'll build, upload an artifact to Codeberg, send a webhook back to my #selfHosted server, and get deployed. Using #woodpeckerCI and webhookd, and a bash script. Now it's a public repo, so I don't have to set up authentication for the webhook. Maybe that's next, but I should work on the website first.

Does anyone have an example of how to configure lspconfig for #zig in #neovim with #lazyvim? In zigtools they only have an example for a different plugin manager, and I don't think I'm doing it right.
EDIT: to clarify, I'm trying to set this up: https://zigtools.org/zls/guides/build-on-save/

I want to learn about this pattern where you write to a video memory area and then that gets processed separately and displayed on a monitor or VGA or what not. Maybe even something like what the #GameBoy does where tile maps and blit is done separately based on what you wrote to the video memory region. Does anyone know of any resources to implement something like that with #PiPico or #Arduino?
Two microcontrollers, where one writes directly into the other's memory, and the other does whatever processing and outputs video? I don't know if this is necessarily something practical I need to do, but I'd like to learn more about it. I've been reading about using DMA to communicate via SPI or UART and it reminded me of this.

Trying to find a really great recording of Cooley's Reel for my wife who is learning fiddle. I found something by Bothy Band which is of course top notch, but I'd like something with a sparser arrangement. And I did notice that on YouTube most of the videos have a very playing different style for reels than what I learned a couple of decades ago in a land far away...
I don't know if it's just a newer style, faster, more aggressive, staccato, or if it's a difference in style between the Island and the diaspora (I've never been in Ireland but I had the privilege of learning from recordings and even live teachers who were from the tradition. I once got an informal lesson from John McSherry in the lobby of a concert hall in exchange for some B&Hs!). But I prefer reels that give me the feeling of water running over river stones, tumbling over itself, splashing and eddying in a fluid monologue.
Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions, she needs a professional recording. I used to play it with Maid Behind the Bar, I think.

I have a special reservoir of rage and contempt for "#AntiDeutsche..." I hadn't realized it was so bad. Germans, self-identifying as leftists, calling the cops on Jews for alleged "#antisemitism" according to the definition of the German government. Kafka couldn't have written it better. If it weren't so maddening it would be hilarious in its grotesqueness.

So now I want to make this into a #GDExtension. The problem is that I don't know #CPlusPlus... I am going through what's in learncpp.com but it's really oriented towards people who are way less experienced than I am at general programming, which is annoying because I have to skim a lot and it is a waste of time plus there's a risk of missing something important. I looked at some books, but everything I saw seemed pretty heavily oriented towards systems/low-level programming or, if it's a #GameDev book, towards building your own engine, which is not what I need right now. If I wanted to make everything from scratch, I'd just use Rust...
Does anyone have a resource to recommend that would be appropriate? Something that will help me understand the higher level features of C++, classes, interfaces, things to watch out for and things to know... Also how to structure a program, compiling tips, working with macros, etc.

I have a #ProgrammingPatterns problem in my #Godot #GameDev project. I think that the solution is some kind of dependency inversion, but here's the problem.
I have an autoload (global Singleton) which manages interaction between different entities in the game. Each game entity exists in the autoload as a class instance. Interactions follow the Command pattern, and call methods on those entity instances that modify the world state. So far so good.
However, each entity also has game objects when it is in the current scene. For example, some animated sprites, physics objects, stuff like that. Those scene nodes are primarily controlled by the Singleton-managed entities. When they enter the scene tree they register themselves, load their state, and do their stuff.
And here's the problem: the same interaction needs to do different logic depending on if it has a scene node or not! For example, when I call "open" on a door, if it's in the scene it needs to tell the scene node to play an opening animation, wait for the animation to finish, and then set its state to open. But if the door is not in the scene (maybe it's being opened remotely from a different room), it needs to just set the state to "open."
What's the best way to do this? Just branching logic depending on if a scene node is registered or not feels like it will become problematic eventually, when there are many many entities with all kinds of unique scripting. Maybe there should be some kind of interface that can be called, that will have a scene node implementation and an additional default implementation that will be used if the scene node isn't registered. This feels overly complicated, especially given that GDScript doesn't really support interfaces that well.
Important considerations are that I need to be able to get feedback when those methods are called, so I can't use signals (an observer pattern), and it should be easy to override various methods to allow unique scripts for any object. And it needs to be reasonably scalable because there are going to be a lot of those and I need to be able to manage them.
What do you think? I'm guessing that this has already been solved before.
Boosts welcome.

I am very pleased with #Babbel, which I'm using to supplement the classes with my French tutor. I only have a few of suggestions for improvement 😊
1. It would be nice to tag a particular thing as "I want to practice this more." Instead I just deliberately get it wrong once to let the app know, but it would be nicer to have a special affordances
2. Need to be able to practice a lot more. The app is pushing me to advance too fast, but I'm not getting enough repetition of material that I already covered. It would be especially nice to be able to select particular areas that I want to repeat without having to dig through all of the units that I had gone through.
3. It would be helpful to get a summary of grammatical concepts that I covered to show my tutor. -

Trying hard to wrap my head around the advantage of visitor pattern over matching or traits in #Rust when analyzing an AST. Especially since the AST is based on Enums and not on trait objects.
The structure of the DSL is not very conventional because it's more of a thing to describe data than logic. But there is logic using logical expressions that live inside of some data definitions.
If I start over using a Visitor pattern it will be my 3rd attempt at writing this logic. I'm not used to my code turning into spaghetti like that.
