Speaking of #darktable … Here's the comparison of the almost unedited file vs. the final result. Here's what changed:

- added saturation
- removed the blue-ish highlight on the cat's face (daylight is a bitch!)
- lightened the shadow side of the face
- cat's eyes are greener
- the wall is darker and more orange to create the mood
- sharpened + exaggerated texture of the whole thing a little

This was fun!. I don't know why anyone would want some AI do it for them.

Cat. She holds herself as if she owns the place. Which she kind of does.

#Dillo release size over time, constrained by the size of a single #floppy disk. We still have some room left.

I suspect the big increase in 3.1.0 is mostly caused by adding a screenshot in the readme (136 KiB).

Most recently, I've been trying to make some REST APIs available via an OpenAPI spec. My company has chosen a code-first approach, with a framework that:

* Requires that you use annotations to add type information to *classes*
* Does not check that the TypeScript types match the annotated types. (Because, AFAICT, you can't.)
* DOES NOT DO ANY RUNTIME TYPE VALIDATION based on all of the types you have had to meticulously, redundantly annotate.

So for runtime validation, redefine everything! 😭

Most of my recent #TypeScript experience has been with #Deno where handling of TypeScript/types is built-in to the runtime itself.

But now that I'm delving into NodeJS-centric ecosystem a bit more, I am *constantly* surprised at how loosely people will use the term "type-safe".

In that realm, "type-safe" apparently means… has some types. But it doesn't mean the types are accurate, useful, or even validated at runtime.

The number of <T = any> generic params I've seen is … disappointing.

#StartHereSocial Fun Fact #4

Three countries that consider #Rugby their national sport also have dedicated Mastodon services, supporting those three nations' local culture and communities:

#Madagascar #Madagasikara
#NewZealand #Aotearoa
#Wales #Cymru

Correlation is not causation, but we might be on to something here. Do the shared values of teamwork and community extend from the pitch to the Fediverse?

The US cutting the delivery of essential weapons to Ukraine confirms that the US is no longer a reliable NATO-ally, shortly after the NATO-summit where continuing support of Ukraine was agreed upon. The Baltics states are rightly worried, no way Trump will risk war for defending them.
