  1. 🎉 Breaking news: #Jank has its own custom IR! 🤯 Because clearly, what we needed in 2026 is yet another way to turn code into abstract nonsense. Also, please sponsor my rent and groceries because optimizing for #JVM doesn't pay the bills. 🙃

  6. Turns out if you click the wrong part of the date selection box in my online banking the page crashes with an error message, and you have to back up to get a working page again.

    Apparently I trust these people with my money.

    I'd switch bank, but my experience with most of them is equally bad. (I'm not looking for recommendations, just moaning.)

  11. @janneke @vnikolov @spook Well, you know, my view is controversial. And back in the 1980s when we were really fighting wars about the future of #Lisp (yes, the barbarians won, hence Common Lisp), we used to say 'some people can write FORTRAN in any language' -- which is actually more or less true. I have seen some dreadful code in #Scheme in my day, and some very elegant code in Common Lisp.

    The modern Lisps -- #Clojure, #Jank etc. -- are worth looking at. They really do encourage good style.

  16. So far so good with this #jank set up. I down clocked the ram to 3000 from 3200

  21. Using two PSUs in a computer cause you don’t want to rebuild a whole computer but then you mod a case and rebuild the thing anyway. What’s the worst that could go wrong? Lol #tech #computer #building #jank #diy #mod #solder

  22. Website, on a specific service page: Download our app, it's faster and easier!
    Me: OK, perhaps in this case it actually makes sense. Downloads and installs #app
    App: Grant me all these permissions
    Me: Cautiously, "OK"
    App: No, that specific service you wanted to do you can't do the app, you have to use the website!
    Me: Deletes app, rages at #jank

    #InAPPropriate

  23. I am getting ready for the #NewYear by adding more #jank to my life. With #dram prices getting astronomical, I picked up a so-dimm to pc dimm adapters so I can move some ram around and utilize some so-dimm ram that was collecting dust.

    1) Replaced Windows Minecraft machine 16 gig ram to identical so-dimm ram
    2) Will replace media server running 8 gigs ram with the 16 gig ram removed from the Windows pc.
    3) That will leave me with two 4gig DDR4 sticks to use for testing or what not if there are no future issues.

  24. Following so many peeps from the #IndieWeb now, and I love seeing all their hand-made updates in weird formatting.. #Jank = #Human

  25. My online #banking is sooo stupid. About 6 months ago they revamped it. This meant they re-set the marker on which statements you had and hadn't seen yet, so suddenly I have 150+ unread documents.

    Is there any way to mark a document as 'read', individually or en-mass? No.

    What's the only way to mark a documents as read?

    Yes, click on it, to download it. So I've just downloaded over a hundred documents, which I will instantly delete (because I already have them), as that's the only way to know in the future if I have an real new and unread documents.

    #UX #jank

  26. Me: Phones #bank, because online system shows the wrong data for a specific application, and I can't edit it.

    50 minutes waiting on hold.

    CS: Can I have your account details please
    Me: Yes, blah blah
    CS: Sorry, I have to re-start my system, it's crashed.
    Me: OK
    CS: But that means we'll be disconnected
    Me: Oh, well can you call me back
    CS: No, the system doesn't allow that
    Me: Can you transfer me to another colleague?
    CS: No, the application has crashed, I can't do anything
    Me: So I have to hang up, and wait 50 minutes again for probably the same to happen?
    CS: Yes, sorry.

  27. Is Android janky for everyone or just me?

    I find getting the drawer down from the top, or sometimes sending it away again - is just half broken.

    I often have to go back to the homescreen to bring it down.

    It might just be weirdness with the Sony Xperia 10 V I've got. But otherwise most things work fine on this phone.

    It's so annoyyinnngggg

  28. Home #DIY #Jank; 20 year old mixer tap suffered a failure over the weekend, and all the new ones have a subtle design difference - old one the top swivels left / right for hot / cold, and has an up / down lever for pressure. Only the lever moves up and down. All the new ones tilt the entire taphead back and there isn't enough clearance to the splashback, so two kitchen walls have to be stripped back and a thinner material used.

    In the meantime; extension pipes and #Disability bidet nozzles.

  29. Possibly too ghetto even for *my* unrefined palate (or if I'm really honest... is it just ghetto enough?).

  30. I keep being impressed by Jeaye Wilkerson & team‘s work on #jank and the progress they make.

    My C++ days are long ago, but this scratches an itch.

    Happy that #ClojuristsTogether also funds experimental things like this.

    #Clojure

  31. You've heard of #scala language that works on the jvm. You also heard about scala native target to native (C) and interoping with that world side stepping the #jvm...

    Now get ready for #clojure (jvm language) and it's target to Cpp.

    #jank programming language - Clojure/LLVM/C++

    "Where jank differs from Clojure JVM is that its host is C++ on top of an LLVM-based JIT*

  32. 🎉 Introducing "Jank," the #programming #language that bravely reinvents the wheel by fusing #Clojure with the thrill of rollercoaster maintenance! 🚀 Under construction with features as solid as a ghost, it's the love child of Clojure and #LLVM that only a mother could love. Prepare your best "it's not a bug, it's a feature" face! 😂
