Of course plain old Android File Transfer won't work, I need Samsung's extra special Smart Switch. But, it looks like the videos are on their way off the phone now. They're all little radioactive nuggets of psychic damage, but I don't want to just delete them.
Someone needs to do a(nother) remake of Captain Blood (1988)
It's been awhile since I really bothered trying to gawk at hot takes on Twitter. I tried today, and it looks like tweets are out of order on user profile pages now?
I'm not logged in anymore, which might have something to do with it? 🤷♂️ One profile looked like a jumbled mess of tweets from 2017, 2020, 2013, 2022 with no rhyme or reason. Also, no tweets display any replies when clicked on.
Weird to see how far downhill the place has gone after some time away. Felt the same about Facebook, too, back when I wandered off for a few years.
Oh, and when I try to look at my own profile on Twitter while logged out, it flashes my page for a second and then bounces me to a login view.
Seems to do that inconsistently between accounts. Probably some inscruitable logic behind it. Whew, what janky mess that place is now.
@srol oof, that is rather cynically nasty
Also reading this from DHH about dropping Typescript from Turbo:
So farewell, TypeScript. May you bring much rigor and satisfaction to your tribe while letting the rest of us enjoy JavaScript in the glorious spirit it was originally designed: Free of strong typing.
On one hand, I've long been loathe to engage with strong typing. Because, you know, they're a drag and they can introduce a lot of paperwork.
On the other hand, I've found it a saving grace on a decent-sized team all banging on a big code base. Tests help, but types help too - especially when you have an IDE like VSCode doing relatively helpful things like intellisense.
Also, typescript allows for gradual typing. That makes it way less of a drag than like, say, Java back in the day.
I also find it super-ironic that I've been a part of enormous Rails projects increasingly adopting static types by way of Sorbet to wrangle some of the chaos - i.e. exactly the opposite direction DHH wants to pull
@namenlos Eh, mainly because it feels like bureaucracy when I'm tinkering on a small-scale project. Gets in the way of me trying some crap.
But as soon as things grow and go multiplayer, the loose approach seems to get troublesome.
That said, playing in Rust these days, types and whatnot seem helpful insofar as the compiler seems to have decent errors and herds me toward the right thing
@socketwench those are some hot wire splices
(er actually, i hope they're not resistive enough to get hot for your application)
Seeing folks type "mastadon" makes my eye twitch like "your" in the wrong context
Like, it doesn't really matter. But also it really matters a bunch.
@onelson hnnnggggggg
“Advertiser has turned off comments” hehe
@rarecoil Well, I guess coffeescript kinda smelled like ruby, so there was some comfort there maybe? I dunno, it was weird
@g 🤔 I haven't tried that yet, but it seems to tick enough of my boxes to be too-good-to-be-true
Every day, at some point, I try to plug my phone in and forget that it doesn't have USB-C after much stupid poking and scraping at the jack with a cable
@mythmon Oh, just an iPhone 13
