Editor’s Note – What it will take to save America’s Economy and Democracy, and Stature in the World

But restoring America to a functioning democracy is much more complicated then … ⌘ Read more

To the parents or teachers: How do you teach kids to program these days? 🤔
⤋ Read More
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Agreed, finding the right motivation can be tricky. You sometimes have to torture yourself in order to later then realize, yeah, that was actually totally worth it. It’s often hard.
I think if you find a project or goal in general that these kids want to achieve, that is the best and maybe only choice with a good chance of positive outcome. I don’t know, like building a price scraper, a weather station or whatever. Yeah, these are already too advanced if they never programmed, but you get the idea. If they have something they want to build for themselves for their private life, that can be a great motivator I’ve experienced. Or you could assign ‘em the task to build their own twtxt client if they don’t have any own suitable ideas. :-)
Showing them that you do a lot of your daily work in the shell can maybe also help to get them interested in text-based boring stuff. Or at least break the ice. Lead by example. The more I think about it, the more I believe this to be very important. That’s how I still learn and improve from my favorite workmate today in general. Which I’m very thankful of.

We’re all old farts. When we started, there weren’t a lot of options. But today? I’d be completely overwhelmed, I think.
Hence, I’d recommend to start programming with a console program. As for the language, not sure. But Python is probably a good choice
That’s what I usually do (when we have young people at work who never really programmed before), but it doesn’t really “hit” them. They’ve seen so much, crazy graphics, web pages, it’s all fancy. Just some text output is utterly boring these days. ☹️ And that’s my problem: I have no idea how I could possibly spark some interest in things like pointers or something “low-level” like that. And I truly believe that you need to understand things like pointers in order to program, in general.

@prologic@twtxt.net Exactly, @bender@twtxt.net! :-D This is at the entrance of a veggie farm (11 & 12) where there are free-ranging kids playing on the road, so people should slow down when driving there to buy some supplies. I also wondered why the sign says “Halt!” instead of “Langsam fahren!” (Drive slowly!) or something like that. On second thought, maybe to actually park there on the street right at the property line.
I actually never walked on that road before and discovered that this was a dead end. There’s usually at the very least a foot path on which to continue when passing a farm. Not this time, though. I didn’t want to stamp down the high grass to cut across country, so I had to walk back maybe 150 meters. Not too bad.

And speaking of Twtxt (See: #xushlda, feeds should be treated as append-only. Your client(s) should be appending Twts to the bottom of the file. Edits should never modify the timestamp of the Twt being edited, nor should a Twt that was edited by deleted, unless you actually intended to delete it (but that’s more complicated as it’s very hard to control or tell clients what to do in a truely decentralised ecosystem for the deletion case). #Twtxt #Client #Recommendations
Just like we don’t write emails by hand anymore (See: #a3adoka), we don’t manually write Twts or update our twtxt.txt feeds. Instead, we use modern Twtxt clients that conform to the specifications at Twtxt.dev for a seamless, automated experience. #Twtxt #Twt #UserExperience
Nobody writes emails by hand using RFC 5322 anymore, nor do we manually send them through telnet and SMTP commands. The days of crafting emails in raw format and dialing into servers are long gone. Modern email clients and services handle it all seamlessly in the background, making email easier than ever to send and receive—without needing to understand the protocols or formats behind it! #Email #SMTP #RFC #Automation

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I started with Delphi in school, the book (that we never ever used even once and I also never looked at) taught Pascal. The UI part felt easy at first but prevented me from understanding fundamental stuff like procedures or functions or even begin and end blocks for ifs or loops. For example I always thought that I needed to have a button somewhere, even if hidden. That gave me a handler procedure where I could put code and somehow call it. Two or three years later, a new mate from the parallel class finally told me that this wasn’t necessary and how to do thing better.
You know all too well that back in the day there was not a whole lot of information out there. And the bits that did exist were well hidden. At least from me. Eventually discovering planet-quellcodes.de (I don’t remember if that was the original forum or if that got split off from some other board) via my best schoolmate was like finding the Amber Room. Yeah, reading the ITG book would have been a very good idea for sure. :-)
In hindsight, a console program without the UI overhead might have been better. At least for the very start. Much less things to worry about or get lost.
Hence, I’d recommend to start programming with a console program. As for the language, not sure. But Python is probably a good choice, it doesn’t require a lot of surrounding boilerplate like, say Java or Go. It also does exceptionally well in the principle of least surprise.
I went on a small hike, just 12-13km this time. The weather was great, blue sky, sunny 18°C, but with the wind it felt colder. Leaves and other green stuff is exploding like crazy. It looks super beautiful right now.
I came across an unfortunately dead salamander on the forest road, some fenced in deer, heaps of sheep, some unmagnetic cows (some were aligned very roughly north-south, but mainly with the axis of the best view I believe), a maybeetle and finally an awesome sunset. Not too shabby! The sheep were mehing all the time, that was really lovely to hear. And the crickets were already active, too. Didn’t expect them to hear yet. I tried to record the concert, but the wind messed it all up. Oh well.

@prologic@twtxt.net In few weeks for sure, I have a couple of features in mind that I would like to implement (DM extension for example but I’ll ask for permission to @arne@uplegger.eu to use his PoC or ask him to contribute to twtxtory directly)
Teens, Social Media and Mental Health
Michelle Faverio , Monica Anderson and Eugenie Park, Research Staff - Pew Research Center
_Stephan: Are you old enough to remember a time when there was no internet or social media, and what your life was like. More social activity. More physical activity. More hanging out physically with friends. Drive-in movies and dances. Today’s teens are fatter, less socially comfortable, woefully misinformed, and influenced by the weaponization of misinform … ⌘ Read more

Was just looking at the client you're using Twtxtory 🤔 Very nice! 👍 is this your client, did you write it? I'd not come across it before!

@twtxtory@twtxtory.adn.org.es is the demo instance for Twtxtory just in case someone would like to have a look (password is in the README file of the project) sorry for the confusion! O:)
@prologic@twtxt.net I started to write it in order to understand better how twtxt works and I thought it could be useful for non-geek people but they like to host their own data
I just fixed a bug in tt’s reply to parent feature. Previously, when the message tree looked like the following
Message
├╴Reply 1
│ └╴Subreply
└╴Reply 2
and “Reply 2” was selected, pressing A to reply to the parent should have picked “Message”. However, a reply to “Reply 2” was composed instead. The reason was a precausiously introduced safety guard to abort the parent search which stopped at “Subreply”, because its subject didn’t match “Reply 2”’s. It was originally intended to abort on a completely different message conversation root. Just in case. Turns out that this thoght was flawed.
Fixing bugs by only removing code is always cool. :-)

10 Surprising Legal Gaps That Let Chaos Ensue
We tend to assume that there’s a law on the books for every situation. But legal systems often lag behind reality, leaving major gaps at the worst possible moments. Whether it was due to technological change, moral blind spots, or pure legislative oversight, these are moments when people turned to the law—and the law shrugged. […]

Today I added support for Let’s Encrypt to eris via DNS-01 challenge. Updated the gcore libdns package I wrote for Caddy, Maddy and now Eris. Add support for yarn’s cache to support # type = bot and optionally # retention = N so that feeds like @tiktok@feeds.twtxt.net work like they did before, and… Updated some internal metrics in yarnd to be IMO “better”, with queue depth, queue time and last processing time for feeds.

Can you automate the drawing with a script? On X11, you can:
#!/bin/sh
# Position the pointer at the center of the dot, then run this script.
sleep 1
start=$(xdotool getmouselocation --shell)
eval $start
r=400
steps=100
down=0
for step in $(seq $((steps + 1)) )
do
# pi = 4 * atan(1)
new_x=$(printf '%s + %s * c(%s / %s * 2 * (4 * a(1)))\n' $X $r $step $steps | bc -l)
new_y=$(printf '%s + %s * s(%s / %s * 2 * (4 * a(1)))\n' $Y $r $step $steps | bc -l)
xte "mousemove ${new_x%%.*} ${new_y%%.*}"
if ! (( down ))
then
xte 'mousedown 1'
down=1
fi
done
xte 'mouseup 1'
xte "mousemove $X $Y"
Interestingly, you can abuse the scoring system (not manually, only with a script). Since the mouse jumps to the locations along the circle, you can just use very few steps and still get a great score because every step you make is very accurate – but the result looks funny:

靜態程序分析入門之 Go 實踐筆記

Computers in school

(Pungenday, the 70 day of Discord in the YOLD 3188) in my gemlog at:

The text has been edited after speaking with some old school mates and
trying to remember more. I also added a few photos.
When I started upper secondary school as a sixteen year-old in 1988 my
school had what I think were IBM PC/XT computers, one classroom of
