The QOI File Format Specification
Last month I announced a
toy project called QOI — the Quite OK Image Format. It losslessly compresses
RGB and RGBA images to a similar size of PNG, while offering a 20x-50x
speedup in compression and 3x-4x speedup in decompression.
With the help of countless passionate people on Github, we have refined some of
the rough edges and specified exactly what … ⌘ Read more
PEP 678: Enriching Exceptions with Notes
Exception objects are typically initialized with a message that describes the
error which has occurred. Because further information may be available when the
exception is caught and re-raised, this PEP proposes to add a .__note__
attribute and update the builtin traceback formatting code to include it in
the formatted traceback following the exception string. ⌘ Read more

Lossless Image Compression in O(n) Time
Introducing QOI — the Quite OK Image Format. It losslessly compresses RGB and
RGBA images to a similar size of PNG, while offering a 20x-50x speedup in
compression and 3x-4x speedup in decompression. All single-threaded, no
SIMD. It’s also stupidly simple.
tl;dr: 300 lines of C, single header,
source on github,
benchmark results here.
 for the twtxt.txt file hasn’t changed as of late, right?
I need someone with a nice, and clean twtxt.txt feed. One that doesn’t include much–if any–images, and in which twts have more content. Just looking to see how formatting is handled in jenny and how to tweak it to my liking.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yes, I often read the raw messages. But more to the point, the simplicity of the format is the bulk of the appeal.
@vain@www.uninformativ.de I have seen it pop up on a few feeds around and adopted it into the new parser I built.
The format I have followed has been '# ' :whitespace: :key-name: :whitespace: '=' :whitespace: :value: keys can be repeated and accessed like an array of values.

with !zet and !zetdo, I find myself constantly needing to type out UUIDs. thing is, they aren’t the easiest thing to type. might invent an intermediate typer-friendly intermediate UUID format that can then convert to the regular UUID format. #halfbaked

@prologic@twtxt.net kinda.. It can parse the twts into an AST.. but most of the formatting out expects a string to do regex over rather then the parsed AST. thats what i am working out next.

@prologic@twtxt.net as promised! https://github.com/JonLundy/twtxt/blob/xuu/integrate-lextwt/types/lextwt/lextwt_test.go#
the lexer is nearing completion.. the tough part left is rooting out all the formatting code.

my #breathingcard etudes are 128x64 resolution videos with 4x zoom, that normally use no more than 4 colors (2-bits) using a 2-bit color storage format, that’s ~7mb a minute for raw uncompressed 60 fps video. not bad. #halfbakedideas
I’ve been thinking about storing the output of some of my audio-visual etudes in a more portable lossless 4-bit indexed color format, rather than rely on x264 directly. #halfbakedideas #etudes #breathingcards #longterm

Hey, does Amazing Stranger share staff with Battle Programmer Shirase or is there just a lot of accidental style similarities for, like, budget and format reasons?
This, except unironically: https://makefrontendshitagain.party/ ; interfaces ought to be rich & individual representations of the underlying models, unless people are required/forced to use them, in which case all formatting should be able to be stripped automatically.
it did! i guess. the date format is different though

This book is pretty good but Alex Wright keeps calling things like codex formats & indices ‘literary hypertext’. No, that’s just text. Yes, I get that hypertext is more text than text; that’s why it’s hyper.

You have to set use_color = 1 and display_format = pretty to get colorized output in #txtnix.

The pretty format is very similar to twtxt without the unicode glyphs and the relative date.
#txtnix now has a –pretty and –simple for the timeline and view subcommands and a config option display_format that defaults to simple.

I think I managed to fix it. It was probably a holdover from the pre-Go time parsing/formatting
how about using ‘mbox’ format for twtxt selectively? we could only use ‘From:’, ‘To:’, ‘Date:’, ‘Subject:’ etc.
