Followed the snake tutorial for #wasm4 over the weekend. I used #zig to implement it and spent a lot of time fiddling with zig build and comptime. Ended up with a function that parses a music language at comptime into instructions for note playback https://github.com/desttinghim/w4testing

@eatsshootsknits I've had to deal with similar situations in the past. It sucks.

@clmarohn I just finished reading confessions of a recovering engineer. I was honestly a little shocked at how boldly you made your critiques! But after finishing I know that any less could not convey the tragedy that we have all just accepted as normal.

@louispearson I also have a better understanding of why nothing has been done about it. @StrongTowns made me understand that our living places have been designed for automobiles for the past 60 years or so. Driving isn't a privilege for most; it's an obligation.

One change that has happened in me is I'm far more worried about sustainability. I always liked the idea of self-sufficiency, the difference now is that I have a better understanding of the threat (climate change mostly)

Unfortunately threads won't be as easy to create

I'm now using Twidere to see both Mastodon and Twitter. This will make it much easier for me to sync the two.

I'm stupid excited for the #SteamDeck. It's going to make a really good emulation machine, not to mention games on PC. And I could lounge on my couch while I play! And I can use it as a portable computer while traveling! It also makes it plausible that Valve will release a Steam Controller 2.0

@kai I haven't done enough reading to hear about the only paid by landlords bit, but I agree with your assessment. I woulyld say land tax would overall incentivise ownership of land for living, and make being a shitty landlord more difficult.

@kai yeah. A land tax would be more effective than a ban if done right, since you can't earn money off something you are charged 100% of the value of every year

@kai although to be more specific, I would prefer cities to implement land taxes that make investing in land too expensive to make senese

Recently worked on #Veloren https://veloren.net/ I added traveling NPCs back into the game, this time following paths instead of making a beeline for their target. I would say its a minor change compared to what else has been going on, overall I'm very impressed by the the speed of development.

@eatsshootsknits bread machines are amazing! I rarely make bread with mine but it's better than never making homemade bread at all

@kai that makes sense 🙂

@kai I only know three people who've gotten it, if it makes you feel better. One is my grandma, the other two are my aunts who work in special needs education. Everyone else I know (including me) is still waiting for the vaccine to get rolled out here.

Here's the 3d printed result. It doesn't turn as well as I would have liked. I think it's mostly down to an issue with the print but there are a couple tweaks I could do to make that less likely #3dprint #freecad #auv

Oops, that's an older image. This is the latest version:

Over the weekend I made my first model in #freecad. The design is of a contra-rotating gearbox, based off this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xda1WgL9fd0&list=PLJH7IqpOoNLpc9NVpY-d0J0OlvtPcMqAi&index=12

It allows two propellers to rotate in opposite directions with one motor. This reduces the torqueing that occurs with just one.

I'm going to be using it for my #seamoth #auv to keep it small.

Just found out about the #freesewing project/website! https://freesewing.org/
I've done very little sewing but I had a blast the last time I tried it. Not sure when/if I'll get around to making use of free sewing but it looks very cool.
