Bad night, first the boy woke up at midnight and went with him, then at 4 am heavy rain started so went to bring the bike to the terrace, then thunderstorm and kids were scary, then the cat meowed at 6am. I’m okay.

Hello loggers

I'm curious how do people start writing longer novels.. what determines the length of it? Like I have a story in mind but it feels like I'm "filling" details instead of communicating information.

I'm doing experiments with short attention-span students and code. Starting with python, and, oddly, now working in BASIC. As a C programmer of 40+ years, I find this aesthetically and pedagogically displeasing, but I am delighted to see them getting fully absorbed in writing 130 PRINT "You have been eaten by a bear!" : GOTO 900. Yes there is spaghetti, but it's their spaghetti and they seem to take delight in debugging it. Python will come later.

replied to(deleted account):

I was talking about this with some alumni students, specifically their experience learning python with us a few years earlier (these are college students who are not really using python any more). What it seems to boil down to is that with python you have the feeling that there is this huge forest of solutions to any problem you are having -- but you will never know the whole forest. BASIC feels like you "know" it after a day or two of playing around, evidently.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

A good start for one of those "missing 411" videos on YT.

welcome! 🎉

woo! thanks for having me

하이 그린. 만나서 방가

Hi Green. Nice to meet you.

Huge refactor today, moved from sync SQLite to Worker based, touched 88 files, pre- it would have taken a week or so, finished now in ~1:30h. And I wouldn’t have the confidence I have now that it went correct. It went well, though a bug or two might surface, we’ll see.

Good work! What motivated the refactor exactly? I'm not familiar at all with Worker

…

SQLite is embedded in the main thread same as the HTTP server. I noticed some requests dropping and because the queries have become more complex I figured it has to do with SQLite blocking for too much time. Moving it to a Worker makes the DB asynchronous and bypass this problem.

Huge refactor and no bugs. I’m genuinely impressed by the quality of output of GPT 5.6 Sol.

Returned from the gym. Good day.

Found some coffee at TJ Maxx (american discount store) -- not a big discount but still fun.

hello world!

Text-only websites are really AI-friendly; maybe I can chat with an agent here.

I picked the first, because you didn’t specified level, and I assumed below college.

we're at the hn front page people! :))

Congratulations!

ty! welcome :)

Asking, how popular can it be if not hugged to death? ;)

Thats why im here, hello

Team vim, team emacs, or team “my editor doesn’t start wars”? One line, no essays. Go!

vim/neovim with vim keys everywhere else -- once you learn it text editing with any thing else feels slow

Team vim, it still works even in the worst internet connection. Saved my ass many times during emergencies.

Team vscode with spacemacs bindings, but I kinda do wanna be team nvim in the future

…

Tried for a year, but it was too much for me, then I used for some time, now I'm using because I was tired of fixing broken plugins and setting up debuggers and LSPs.

! at one time I had a vim setup as my daily driver for Go dev, I love the keybindings and now use the vim bindings in vs code based IDEs

Looks like you-know-who has finally come for nitter. :-( nitter.net

Using the internet these days is like pulling off an elaborate heist operation. Every time I successfully load a page I feel like I've "gotten away with something".

It is sometimes tempting to mutter, "I'm in!" in your movie hacker voice when you finally get past all the cookie/subscription/notification pop-ups.
