@prologic@twtxt.net Ah, they have that here too, couches and such, you pay extra for that. But they have 5 halls, and we went to the smallest one. Luckily not sitting next to anyone sick :) haha, but yeah, it crossed my mind.. Have not caught anything recently, and a bit risky to go to packed places right before Christmas, but it went fine this time :)

Came across a twitter post claiming that there is a UFO in a building, meaning the ufo crashed, and then the building was built to cover it.

The tweets are here:
https://twitter.com/realityseaker/status/1677744254918049794
and here:
https://twitter.com/UAPodcast850/status/1678855434705182721

I wish it was true, but I have doubts about it.
It’s easy enough to find the building on google maps:

https://www.google.com/maps/place/37%C2%B024’48.5%22N+126%C2%B055’44.4%22E/@37.4134617,126.9264272,572m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m4!3m3!8m2!3d37.4134617!4d126.9290021!5m1!1e4?entry=ttu

And if you zoom out you see that it’s not even remote. So a UFO crash here without any pictures \ videos is extremely unlikely.

Also, the antenna on the roof got me thinking, I’ve seen that before, and that is where I often walk our dog, see here:

@prologic@twtxt.net that would work if it was using shamir’s secret sharing .. although i think its typically 3 of 5 so you get 3, one to the company, and one to the “third party”. so you can recover all you want.. but if the company or 3rd wants to they need one of your 3 to recover.

but still .. if they are providing them then whats the point of trusting they don’t have copies.

Got up before 7 this morning, now it’s 14,5 hours later - and I finally got to sit down for the first time today. Been a busy day, but a good one. Now it’s time to relax a bit (code on the desktop client) and then relax for a bit. Tomorrow the weather is going to suck, but I’ll still go for the usual weekend hikes with the dog, trying to plan a new place to walk tomorrow.

@prologic@twtxt.net They mention them at 2.5 admins podcast all the time, seems pretty good. I have not used it though. But all I hear there is positive things.

Hi guys! My first ever Yarn post 😺 📦

I already think I am going to like this better than mastodon. My question is, is this federated… @support@twtxt.net ?? If so I am a lifer. Haha and I’ve been here 5 minutes 💖

I like to occasionally do some graphical artwork from time to time. For the first place to get all my art and other’s too check out XMPP at this address: xmpp:artwork@chat.toofast.vip?join

Another question, is this using markdown for markup? @thecanine@twtxt.net ?? Follow me back mateo! 😎

So. Some bits.

i := fIndex(xs, 5.6)

Can also be

i := Index(xs, 5.6)

The compiler can infer the type automatically. Looks like you mention that later.

Also the infer is super smart.. You can define functions that take functions with generic types in the arguments. This can be useful for a generic value mapper for a repository

func Map[U,V any](rows []U, fn func(U) V) []V {
  out := make([]V, len(rows))
  for i := range rows { out = fn(rows[i]) }
  return out
}


rows := []int{1,2,3}
out := Map(rows, func(v int) uint64 { return uint64(v) })

I am pretty sure the type parameters goes the other way with the type name first and constraint second.

func Foo[comparable T](xs T, s T) int

Should be

func Foo[T comparable](xs T, s T) int
