C++ is fine, tbh. One of the first langs I learned even though I haven't mastered it. My first *real* program was a thing that would capture key presses and rewrite your text so you can type like a #homestuck troll.

Are folks making interesting programs entirely from REPLs? I use a JS REPL whenever I do math or want to manipulate some JSON for codegen or transforming some strings. That's about it!

For real I'm thiiiiiiiis close to doing somthing with lisp. I'm warning yah!

@brandon Dang, Kimi K2 looks pretty decent. The other seem to be failing the clock test spectacularly.

@brandon Yeah it just sucks when some information is *only* available via this path. I'm almost tempted to purchase access to one of those scraper networks used by "AI Agents" so I can get plain text pulled from sites and skip the bloat.

Speaking of #Cryptography , this post was a great overview of the tradeoffs in different modes of AES encryption.

@scott I don't think the responses in the thread are too bad tbh. It could be going way worse! Hopefully there will be a migration to a stronger scheme eventually. Even just deriving part of the IV from somewhere.

Womp womp. #meshcore #encryption is not great. On a positive note, I managed to notice this by reviewing the code myself before I searched for an issue!

@jj_3 I really want to make windows/mac/linux/ios equivalent libraries some day 😸

Made this thing a few years ago to simplify setting up wifi hotspots for #p2p apps to network together. Click a button and you either join an existing one or make a new one.

Claude code being down should be a snow day for slop devs

In a world of renting and subscription services it feels decadent to own something.

Maybe I should get a second one handed keyboard to double my output speed 🧠🧠🧠
