This is fun. A #JavaScript / react / typescript thing for making circuit boards
@philip @thomasfuchs I agree wholeheartedly! I'm a major proponent of backwards compatibility and I wish businesses used more pressure to force all these big tech companies to have indefinite backwards compat instead of breaking things to reinvent the wheel yet again.
@rayckeith @thomasfuchs Big mood. Had a similar experience on Android recently. Like there's no good reason it should be so unstable.
Also why I like Linux. Don't gotta update nothing so long as it's running. >:P
@thomasfuchs Except when the OS updates and breaks everything every few years. 😭
Google and Apple are singlehandedly keeping developers employed by forcing companies to change everything to keep up with breaking changes / app store requirements.
Kinda why I like shitty web apps with little JS in them.
IMO react makes stuff more annoying for everything except dynamically updated lists. Low key I miss Angular style data binding libraries.
Also apparently backbone is still a thing? https://backbonejs.org/
Groups: "Let's go around and have everyone share a fun fact."
Neurotypical: [A fact about themselves that's quirky in the most beige, unoffensive way possible]
Autistic: [A decontextualized deep slice about one of their special interests... maybe followed by a series of similar facts as they get increasingly excited]
ADHD'ers: [A decontextualized obscure connection that they made between two seemingly unconnected things... followed by a 30 minute attempt to provide the missing context]
@alina I use nano in the same way. 🤪
If I need a tool I call it from bash. (e.g. linters)
I wish there was an easy way to use LSP from bash in a way that doesn't interrupt my flow
After writing about people going into delusional spirals with ChatGPT and having what look like mental breakdowns, I wanted to understand exactly how it happens.
A corporate recruiter in Toronto who spent 3 weeks convinced by ChatGPT that he was essentially Tony Stark from Iron Man, agreed to share his transcript after breaking free of the delusion.
We analyzed the transcript & shared it with experts. Now you can see the interactions & how delusional spirals happen:

@aparrish maximum profit is a bad motivation but it's truly wild how many of the problems with our society are because we *specifically* chose to dictate everything by a motivation of "maximum profit on a window of exactly one-quarter year"
@jeffowski I use inappropriate contractions on the daily. ✨
Almost through practicing the alphabet on my #twiddler
Next will be typing actual words, and eventually all the special characters I need for coding.
@brandon do you have anything published for it? :o I've been curious to get into uiua. Is this project the one you were talking about at the splinternet event?
Occult cyberpunk. Yap with me about decentralized systems, wearable computing, and biohacking.
