Zelda BotW physics are funny.
Put all the barrels in a shrine + myself on top of a big button, trying to push it down. It was not enough. So I take some things out of my inventory and put them on the button where I'm standing, and that works. They don't count while stowed away.

If you never wrote acceptance tests before, today might be a good day to start: Subplot, a new tool in that space, looks for its first brave users https://blog.liw.fi/posts/2021/07/11/subplot/
The key difference from Cucumber is that Subplot produces an HTML or PDF document which non-programmers can read and understand. You can actually show it to your users, and they might be able to give you feedback.
I tried Subplot earlier in a new small project, and even though the authors claim it's "alpha-quality software", I didn't actually run into any big problems: I just wrote some project-specific bindings (in Python, but Rust and Bash are on the horizon!), and used those bindings to write tests. It's all pretty easy to do. I also liked how it immediately made me think in terms of the interface, not implementation (as unit and integrations tests do).

I wrote an article about the need for low-carbon and #sustainable #computing and the path towards zero-carbon computing.
In short, we need to dramatically limit the growth in emissions from computing, or by 2040 emissions from computing alone will be close to half the emissions level acceptable to keep global warming below 2°C.
And it is possible to do this.

(Býgull og Trégull would be the spelling in both modern Icelandic and Old Norse as typically written but on the web I only found Bygul and Trjegul because they were only given names in the 80s by a USian who decided to spell it like that I guess)

I guess most of the remaining work is just level design; not much C coding left to do. the level design work is more fun, so maybe I'll knock it out.
normally it doesn't bug me to leave projects hanging like this because I figure I might come back to them later, but with this I just know it's not going to happen because the C coding is just no fun. so if I don't knock this out now it'll never be published, but it's so close.
Mastodon FeedWhat do you do when nothing feels joyful or worth doing but you’re already on huge antidepressants? Asking for a friend.
I hope the doctor has some advice but they will probably just tell me to eat some fruit and go for a walk, like that will do anything.
