Coding on a Phone: What I Learned Building Software on Mobile in the Last Three Weeks https://lobste.rs/s/mj7k0s #programming

One area where cell phones could still actually innovate is support for mesh networks:
• Allow people to communicate locally whenever there is no cell phone reception (during outages, in remote areas, in overcrowded areas)
• Bonus: support for peer-to-peer synchronization of data (files, contacts, notes, etc.)—e.g., between a laptop and a cellphone.
L’État condamné pour avoir caché le message d’une librairie niçoise contre les violences sexuelles à l’occasion d’une visite ministérielle.
Le Tribunal administratif de Nice reconnaît la responsabilité de l’État dans l’occultation de la vitrine de la librairie « Les Parleuses » lors de la visite du ministre de l’Intérieur Gérald Darmanin sur le chantier de l’hôtel des polices. Le message affiché par l’établissement dénonçait l’impunité des auteurs de violences sexuelles

블친님들 정말 사랑해!! 별 일이 있는건 아니고, 사랑은 종종 이렇게 직접 말해주는게 좋잖아요🥰 정말 어제는 하루 종일, 하루가 다 넘어갈 때 까지도! 블친님들이 절 사랑해주신단걸 정말 여러 말과 손짓들로 느낄 수 있었던 하루였어. 너무 감사하다고 생각하고 있어요! 헤헤, 제가 먼저 찾아갔든, 블친께서 저를 먼저 찾아왔든, 이렇게 당신의 하늘 아래 함께할 수 있게 해줘서 너무 고마워요. 너무 사랑해! 앞으로도 잘 부탁드려요! 우리 쭉 사랑하자구요!🥰💕💕
What I'm listening to today: "Untitled", Korea Undok Group
Mysterious music embedded in a mysterious artifact: a 1982 cassette tape from a Winnipeg experimental music label, meaning, one musician in Winnipeg selling their own cassettes mail order. In 2025 this was re-released on Bandcamp, then de-re-released. Primitive, distant, seductive, calling to you like the fair folk singing in the woods. Click "Stop" at 4:28 or you may find yourself permanently stuck in the 1980s
What I'm listening to today: "First Encounter", Dissonant Witchcraft
A video showing off the "Antilope", a cryptic sound-making artifact by Manifold Research Centre (trade name for a designer formerly of Instruo, who before that… made wine? In transalpine Italy?).
Still Arctic landscapes, a stark sound collage in the shape of an industrial downtempo piece, clicky FM drums and metallic swells, standing on the freeway median as insectoid Things rush by. A loss of balance

生成AIを画像補正のマスクとして使うという考え方。
https://note.com/cam_fuyuki/n/n5a2385b3ec68
Many years ago I was working with a friend to find a bug in a Makefile generator. We had a megabyte or so of Makefile we needed to examine. He was an emacs user. It took him minutes just to open the file. I was using sam. It took about a second for sam to load, and I found the problem before he'd even finished loading the file.
The speed of tools matters, and big files are common nowadays. Things should stay fast as their workload grows. That goes double for interactive tools.
By the way, it still takes me 30 seconds to log in to my bank. I wonder how long it will take when it's an LLM-generated landing page.

@evanEvan Prodromou Great that ActivityPub people start considering global discovery!
@astro This is a feature that's been part of ActivityPub since 2017.
Elsewhere in RCA docs, ASCII is already being referred to, with <> listed, but [] or {} not available. Interesting!
And the teletype console seems to have only () and maybe <>? What a mess! I might not get anywhere here.
I was so eager to scan this after it came because it was months before one appeared on eBay!
This is a manual for a popular Compugraphic typesetter, with a very different approach to markup that’s more similar to control characters in e.g. WordStar.
Everything is based on specialized keys, and displayed with special characters, shade, and underline.
Imagine a version of HTML where you’d need a keyboard with a key for each tag!

For data centers, new, faster methods of training AIs are always in demand. New radio-based cables offer longer reach, lower power consumption, and narrower diameters than copper. https://spectrum.ieee.org/rf-over-fiber?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fedica-Mastodon-Daily-Pipeline

ethically speaking, i hear you. i pretty much intend for my own code to be treated as if it were public domain even though i technically use more restrictive licenses, because I never plan on enforcement anyway
i suspect though there's an eventual question of "how much of the human interacting with things counts", like, if I prompt claude and then tweak it, maybe that counts, but gastown produced code may not we'll see how it goes
I feel like somehow we need to make BGP more resilient by using DNS. 🤔
