We've been talking a lot recently about how to enable more small to mid-sized projects by avoiding a lot of the trappings of complex modern stacks. I think we should talk more about how the data layer fits into this. Both on frontend and backend.

Hello!
30 trillion cells in my body are human, whatever that means, and 38 trillion are various bacteria! There are a bunch of viruses too which are currently impacting my functionality!
I am 68 trillion microorganisms in a trench coat which results in a sort of self-propelling, self-replicating digestion tube, but I am paid to act as if I am a clean, rational, thinking machine!
This is very stressful for all 68 trillion of us, so sometimes we complain about it on the internet.

I've had a background thought thread running for over a year now that focuses on dissecting our interactions with the software we build and use, for ourselves and to share with each other, and how much it's shaped by the goals of commercial entities that are in direct opposition to what would be most useful/pleasant/effective for us as people. I'm trying to keep that thought thread as close to foreground as I can whilst I build new software for our various social enterprises so the thoughts can inform my decision making as I build.

Anyone looking for an #embedded engineer? Full time remote strongly preferred. #getFediHired
I am experienced with #EmbeddedC and, to a lesser degree, #EmbeddedRust and #EmbeddedJava. I even wrote JNI bindings for Java in Rust to call into Tock:OS. I have some recent experience with a very large C++ code base, but I wouldn't call myself an expert with it. I also have experience building test automation frameworks written in #Python and #Rust.
Oh, sorry for the edit spam. But I almost forgot to mention that I have extensive experience with the #RISCV architecture and instruction set.

It's finally happening. I'm bringing a early FPGA exhibit to @SDF Interim Computer Festival (https://sdf.org/icf/).
Tonight I got 86Box setup and did a run through of installing OrCAD386 and X-ACT v2.4. Discovered I have a tutorial for that version and I was able to go through it. It builds a design for an XC3020 demo board that I have as well.
Now I need to replicate the setup on my RapidCAD machine, run through the tutorial again, and download the design to my board. That'll be the main exhibit.
With that out of the way, I can turn my attention to getting my Epson Apex 200 upgraded to 3MB of RAM so it can open XC3000 designs in X-ACT v2.12.

watching the 1st in the PBS series on LBJ, I was struck by how they skipped over both his time teaching Brown children in a segregated school and his brief active duty time during WW2. one period helped form his politics, and the other revealed a great deal about his character.

Dear fellow Europeans, I am respectfully asking you to consider signing this European Citizen Initiative to institute a billionaire tax. It was invented by leading French economist Thomas Piketty; I read the whole thing, and it is technically excellent. Hit me if you have questions, but please sign it, it is important.
It needs 1 million signatures (currently 300K) and seven countries over their threshold (currently three: Denmark, France, Germany).

I used to move my alarm time constantly, based mainly on how I felt at night when I was getting in bed. But when my kid started school, I was forced out of that habit, and I recently realized what a positive difference it's made in my life.
It's also a lot easier to drag yourself out of bed when you already know exactly how much time you have, because you live it every day. It's psychologically easier to obey an unwavering constant than the whims of yourself from last night.

Tiny life tip: set your alarm for the exact same time every day. Don't move it around based on the day or how you feel at night.
For one thing, you get to know exactly how much time you have in the morning, and it's nice to just offload that mental work.
But more importantly: it's an anchor for your sleep schedule. If your alarm time doesn't move, your bedtime is much less likely to move, and you're better incentivized to organize your evening around the next morning.

#UFO50 released today! It's the long-awaited next game from Mossmouth (creators of #Spelunky.)
They describe it thusly: "UFO 50 is a collection of 50 single and multiplayer games that span a variety of genres, from platformers and shoot 'em ups to puzzle games, roguelites, and RPGs. Our goal is to combine a familiar 8-bit aesthetic with new ideas and modern game design."
And all these games were supposedly made by the same fictional company. Can't wait to dive in!

- Ultima Underworld-esque 3D maze with orc monsters, a bat, and a cloaked man with a sword who appears to have taken a hit. Game HUD is displayed on left and right. (remote)
- Colorful game on a grid of checkered tiles with slime-like creatures and a femme character jumping. (remote)
- What appears to be an adventure game sort of interface showing a living room, minimap, and inventory containing a spoon, some sort of crumpled paper, spare change, and a box of matches. (remote)
- An armored character standing in a cavern-like environment with what looks like a giant otter person with colorful boots kneeling. Text on the screen reads "10 star fragments opens the path, but also awakens the bile of old." (remote)

A pro tip for the monetarily challenged:
You can OPT-OUT of overdraft protection AKA over draft fees.
Call your bank and tell them:
I would like to opt-out of all overdraft protection services, so any transaction that would overdraw my account are declined.
They might try to get you to sign up for another service that reduces the fee but stand firm. They'll tell you that ACH charges may still go through. That's fine. Most charges aren't ACH.
Mastodon FeedI'm surprised they haven't called it "Copilot Copilot"
