Me listening to a lecture on the history of programming: so Alan Turing was gay huh?

Integrating Copilot into GitHub view of PR diffs is probably one of the most sensible AI applications I've seen to this day

I find it interesting that the primary entry for "first-class citizen" in Wikipedia relates to the programming concept, but the entry for "second-class citizen" - to the social construct. A curious case of conceptual asymmetry.

Today's episode is about digital hygiene, privacy paranoia, and a deep dive into setting up a physical storage for backing up personal data. Sources: ChatGPT and Co. - 0% Arch Wiki - 69% Brain cells - 420% kristina-pianykh.github.io/blog/posts/b...

Just realized I was about to write a simple version of `rclone sync --dry-run --checksum` and `rclone dedupe --dry-run --by-hash`. Also in Go (of course). The irony. I'm so happy I've discovered rclone though. Brought so much more order into my files on cloud and local backup.

I was today years old when I discovered iota in Go const declarations for enum-like ordering. In fact, it can do much more than that.

I like the idea of using asserts as part of a strong defensive code strategy. Most of the time I don't even write tests for my side projects.

Scraping and clawing through the last feature of my shell in Go before I can call it complete with a clear conscience. At this point, I am not learning anything new anymore and finding myself reimplementing bash instead. It's just not fun anymore

Now that's a headline.

Casey goes on a rant about a certain language performance benchmark circulating in the internet lately and explains why it's dog shit (or why you should never trust "baity" claims with no solid work behind it). Trigger warning: assembly inspection www.youtube.com/watch?v=EH12...

Does #Ghostty have a way of changing the layout of split windows (e.g. if I want to change a vertical split to horizontal)? Java folks would understand what I mean

"Linen Layout" -Day 19- #AdventOfCode 2024 in #Golang adventofcode.com/2024/day/19 Rinse and repeat of the previous days. The role reveal sound from Among Us in the puzzle text is such a great touch though (red is sus🤫) Code: github.com/Kristina-Pia...

"RAM Run" - Day 18 - #AdventOfCode 2024 in #Golang adventofcode.com/2024/day/18 "Oh no another grid" ... wait a sec ... *copy pasta grid utils and dijkstra implementation, solves both parts at first try* hmmm now that was acceptable Time for helpers module😁 github.com/Kristina-Pia...

#ghostty > #kitty Why? Because I’m a weak person that succumbed to the hype train Because I use the defaults in a terminal anyway Because I’m not a fan of dynamic window tiling Because ghostty looks more crisp (more NATIVE) and just feels faster

"Chronospatial Computer" -Day 17- #AdventOfCode 2024 in #Golang adventofcode.com/2024/day/17 Reminded me of CS assignments where we had to interpret a program based on an assembly snippet. Found no sense behind the given program here though, seems just like a smart brute-force (<1m both parts)

Part 1 of "Reindeer Maze" -Day 16- #AdventOfCode 2024 in #Golang adventofcode.com/2024/day/16 Found myself implementing a variation of Dijkstra without knowing the algorithm. Part 2 had my ass for days but I'm too dumb to complete it. Rewrote solution multiple times only to arrive at the same DFS

Revisited #AdventOfCode Day 15. Nothing fancy, just some emoji masturbation. Simple grid rendering to the terminal on each move
