@brandon Oof yeah. I think that's the main thing that keeps me from fun languages. The availability of libraries and APIs ends up influencing whether a project is feasible to undertake within budget constraints or not. :( I end up having to sidecar stuff into separate processes and talk via IPC when there's a mismatch in languages. E.g. Agregore Mobile has Go,C++, and Java all jumbled together.

Note to self: Don't answer messages when tired even if they seem time sensitive.

@brandon What sort of stuff are you thinking of using it for? I was worried about whether it's speed of execution can keep up with how expressive it is. It feels like it'd be way to easy to make really expensive computations and I'm not sure if it is paralellizing enough of the execution out of the box. Would regular APL not suffice?

The only downside is that others seem to enjoy using their computers for work on weekends and I end up missing emails sent after my work hours 💀

I really need to learn some verilog and some fortran

Mobile apps made computing worse because they renoved the "undo my press of the back button" button. Wish I could do that for instagram 😭

@arichtman It's a lil gift I'm giving to future me so it doesn't burn out as fast :P

Because poking computers is kinda fun :)

I am very strict about not using computers for work on weekends cause otherwise they would eat evrry last moment of relaxation from me.

I really dislike apps because they're so segregated compared to cli programs. When you use an app it pretends it's the only thing that exists and there's usually no way to change it that isn't a pain in the ass. Once you can do some tricks in bash yiu basically get master over the cli apps and can stay closer to organizing data how you like it. GUIs with shared fs access are nice but it's not the norm and getting alternative apps for the same function is more of a pita

@0xabad1dea is fire required or would shredding suffice?

Glad to be at the end of this big push so that I can work less nights and cook more dinners 🥰

I post like the small bits of story exposition you find in some scifi game

@metasyn Yeah I've tried it before. 😁 TBH the "modes" and all the extensions end up being more than I want to deal with. I generally prefer something as minimal as possible and since my muscle memory is geared towards GUI text editing keyboard shortcuts vim (and emacs) end up getting in the way. Defs appreciate that people enjoy their editors though.
I ended up getting nano to behave more or less like a graphical text editor which is the only reason it works for me. https://github.com/RangerMauve/nanorc

I wish the Ontario government covered "extra arms" as gender affirming healthcare for transhumanists.

I really want one of these backpack thingies hooked up to a BCI or a touchpad on my toe or whatever.
