@[email protected] - I don’t post here anymore

I am now also @s.ly on Bluesky.

Elmo finally pulled my legacy @premiumbusiness checkmark. To celebrate, I have now (finally) made this account private. You can find me over at metasocial.com/jesse.

@kevinriggle np. (If you're up for it, you might want to file a ticket at github.com/mastodon/masto… to help those who come after you.)

@kevinriggle That's a bad default, but is totally configurable. Click the settings icon on the notifications tab.

@thingskatedid np. jesse@keyboard.io when it becomes relevant. There's also a discord we and some other folks using gigadevice chips hang out on (ostensibly around our arduino port and platformio support) - It's mostly ARM, but there's a bit of RISC-V - discord.gg/FNCCPthm

@obra oh maybe! in like six months haha. thanks :D

; git rm rp2040.kicad_sch rm 'midi/rp2040.kicad_sch' ; git add gd32vf103cxt6.kicad_sch ;

@thingskatedid (Also, happy to intro to my Gigadevice reseller and FAE if you need it.)

@thingskatedid Heck, if it's anything like the F303, you don't even need a crystal to do full speed USB2.

@rjbs . o O { Will we get to create functions with tick in their names? }

Maybe the end of an era as the use of ' (single tick) as a package separator may be on the way out in Perl. github.com/Perl/perl5/pul…

@_MG_ Best example of that I've ever seen: open-source flashlight firmware. ivanthinking.net/thoughts/andur…

… for a simple example, try making the most feature rich device with a single LED & single button for the UI. This forces depth in creativity. Not that abstraction is completely bad. In fact, it’s what allows large tech advancements for humanity. But… 2/n

This is why I love hardware, especially highly constrained embedded stuff & board/schematic design. Abstractions are wasteful luxury that take you away from “the real”. Often forcing you to remember the chem/phys properties of a component. But it’s also the mental aspect… 1/n

@kevinriggle Try something like "Generate the source code for a text adventure written in the Inform7 programming language"

@jamescham It’s fascinating to see which things your phone is ostensibly good at that are still worth carrying purpose-built tools for.

Index cards return to the everyday pack!

@kevinriggle Don’t wonder. Test. I couldn’t get it to pretend to be Adventure or Zork But I could get it to pretend to be Eliza.

@patio11 Oh man. I miss Tokyo coffee culture. Going to Bear Pond with friends from NY and discovering that the owner/barista's mentor was friends with one of my travel companions was totally mindblowing. Also, the coffee was truly exceptional.

I nerdsniped myself here. kalzumeus.com/japan-recommen…

An internationally renowned coffee chain in Japan, at a flagship, 50 deep in a queue on a Sunday: “Oh goodness we have made subtly the wrong thing.” “No worries I can see you are busy. If it’s no trouble for you…” “It is no trouble for me to make the right thing.”

@jamescham @gideonmann @317070 Clearly my prompt engineering needs work

I assumed that @gideonmann was joking about something @317070 was joking about but I went to chat.openai.com and YIKES!

@Shpigford 😢

How many mobile tabs you got open right now?

Now we're talking.

@natfriedman Holy shit

@caseywest @genehack I absolutely do not mean to diminish your experience or to undercut your venting.

@obra @genehack No doubt my 14% of days dealing with this as a cis white guy is less than, say, 71% for others. I wouldn't pretend otherwise. Yet I'm making statements on bad social networks to vent about my day. It can't be less problematic for me to deal than anyone else. That's not ok.

I don't know who still needs to hear this in the year of two thousand twenty two but it keeps happening to me so let me be clear: do not make qualitative comments on someone's appearance at work! I made this guide to help you know if it's OK to make a comment on someone's body.

@caseywest @genehack Yes, but a single instance I can remember in my adult life vs a constant barrage is going to be qualitatively different.

@obra @genehack Frequency isn't the metric. Impact is. They can be correlated, sure, but number of occurrences isn't a factor for determining negative impact as you've already demonstrated.

@caseywest @genehack I remember the one time I walked into a business meeting in China and the saleswoman said something along the lines of "You're cute. Are you seeing anyone?" and I just about died. And as a cishet white dude, I know that 'the one time' for me is...basically daily for many people.

@genehack Thank you for asking! There can be a difference, and especially if you're a friend and the comment was made privately (as opposed to in a group). If you'd like to pay a physical complement in a work place and you aren't confident the context is ok for the receiver: don't!
