screen capture actually does not drop your frame rate by 90% and gives you stutters and fractional scaling makes multi monitor + resolution setups actually usable. Don't listen to the people telling you that Wayland is not usable. It's incredible. I'm on AMD + nvidia, which should be the worst comb.

I was using X11 for a long time because I've always read that Wayland is not stable, unmature and buggy. I've switched to Wayland recently and the only thing I can say is that everything works better than before. Compositors actually use the GPU instead of creating a laggy desktop experience,

Showing the WoW achievent 'Ahead of the Curve: Midnight Falls'

It sounds nerdy AF but If you are looking for friends try WoW raiding with a guild. It's so fun to acomplish something with strangers and feel how they become familiar. Today we killed the final Boss of the current season and it was huge fun and I think i found a few very nice people there. GG

If you don't use AI at all in your software engineering work you are pretty cool (or kewl like we kewl kids say). Just wanted to say that. Have a nice sunday.

Lisps are awesome and Clojure is really nice. It's not as nice as OG Common Lisp but the best language the JVM has to offer

I think I have to live with the fact that I will never finish a game project because I always try the most niche stuff. But maybe this time it's different. Common Lisp Trial Game Engine, here we go again.

Whats so bad about knowing how to code?

I wonder why german companies are not competitive anymore lol

Nice uptime monitoring bluesky. You should probably calculate how long the service was actually useable instead of averaging 400
background services with 100% uptime with the actual useable time of your app.

/daubt

It's not, because people are lazy and their skill degrades pretty fast over time.

Using hyperscaler clouds and AI is at least expensive so it's worth the non-reliability.

BLUESKY IS A WEBSITE THAT TURNS (post by jay.bsky.team claiming that bluesky is made with AI) INTO (picture of bluesky not working)

I hate it when my SACK block starts roughly 2^31 away from my real window.

What is this, a spoon for ants? :o Coffee grinder goes brrrrr

Turn based? More like Tuna based. AMIRITE?

I'd argue that they should pay twice or thrice the price because they use it much more. AI bros over-pay so much for useless stuff, take their money.

The Lisp Code: (defmacro defcommand (name args &body body) (let* ((responses (first (last body))) (success-response (first responses)) (error-response (second responses)) (code (butlast body))) `(setf (gethash ,name *command-table*) (make-command :name ,name :handler (lambda ,args ,@code) :success-response (list ,@success-response) :error-response (list ,@error-response)))))

This badboy, makes it possible to write websocket commands in my current project with one-liners. I didn't even spend 100k dollars on it.

How comes that many people hate on Common Lisp? It's the OG code generation tool and when I look around everyone is hyping up those LLMs for the code gen. Common Lisp macros can produce more correct, 100% deterministic, 100% debuggable code, basically for free. Where trillion VC dollar for SBCL?

We Linux bois would love to have you in our ranks. Sadly, it's even harder to get your setup running under Linux then under Windows 7. :(

How's that @github.com migration from bare metal to Azure going?

via Alex on Mastodon techhub.social/@ironicbadge...

At least it's more expensive and slower as bare metal, so the stability trade-off is worth it.

I don't know If they know, but the forced ad break in the Instagram app just made the app so much better because you just stop scrolling and do other stuff. Every doom scrolling platform should implement this.

I was reading the Land of Lisp and thought to myself 'the last time I tried to understand Let over Lambda was a few years ago, maybe I get it now.'

- i still don't get it lol

Sebastian is incredible. Only love for him and what he does.

This reminds me of a german meme. "A whole civilisation will die tonight. - So Leude, Forza is ferdich runtergeladen."

let you creates routes. That's the fucking code generation we need. This macro just removed like 500 loc of my codebase. (The codebase wasnt really good before tbh, but now it's clean)

I'm a Common Lisp enjoyer but I always dodged marcos because I tried to solve stuff with functions as often as possible. But today I found a usecase for a macro for my websocket protocol. I now just do `(defcommand ...)` and it generates new actions. It's easier to use than most webframeworks

Imagine mood boarding of the collaborative kind without generative AI. That would be crazy.

Ask the most basic questions if you are unsure about stuff. It's the most important skill, especially if you have some kind of responsibility because a single stupid question can save tons of money.
