Last Notes

I generally like Apple Notes a LOT. The problem is that I don't trust it a lot, notes being stored in iCloud in particular. What I'd really want is an Apple Notes, but it stores as markdownd and I can just push/pop and encrypt that using git. (yes, I know about Obsidian, I don't like the apps)

@npub1kvt…0vtn Maybe some form of drone?

@npub1pu3…8r76 @npub1c0z…9vx5 That's not German, simply because I didn't know this, but I should try to make it, sounds awesome! 🙂

Ever heard about WebScript? It was an interpreted, Mini-#ObjC that came w/ #WebObjects. IIRC using WO w/ WebScript was free, building apps w/ ObjC required the $$$$ expensive license.
WebScript even had a "modern syntax" (I think this must be ~1998?) w/o the brackets (but `function doIt() { }` style).

@npub1t5m…9guy I think the controller subtitle may not be 100% right. Actions solely on the data are part of the model (business logic). Not sure what a short description would be, coordinates how data flows?

Originally by @npub18z7…s2pv, this is a good one (I particularly like the mouse pointers 🙂): "The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Must Know About Unicode in 2023": https://tonsky.me/blog/unicode/

The funny thing when developing packages using #SwiftLang macros is that you quickly run out of your free GitHub actions time. Because every single commit has to rebuild SwiftSyntax and companions, which amounts to minutes, literally.

I just realised that after enabling visible whitespace in Xcode (which makes spaces show up as little grey dots), you can do proper trailing indention for maximum beauty in your source 🙈
No more jiggery ends.

Waiting for people to figure out that it isn't particularly easy to buy a USB-C cable 🙈

@npub1src…fms4 Yes, why pool them? You don't pool the JVM threads either. I guess in the end JVM threads are cheaper than an OS thread resource wise, but it is not completely clear to me why this would have to be the case. In the end it is the same expensive thing: a sidelined stack and instruction pointer?
(that's also a reason why real async I/O is another magnitude more efficient than such constructs).

@npub1sy8…w2zc @npub16dy…asrq You should talk more about how you create your presentations, because that is pretty 1337 too!

@npub1can…0fm9 Oh ne, echt jetzt? Wozu das denn? Das ist nur ein b&w CRT drin!

2023-08-04 00:45:35

- reply

@npub1can…0fm9 That you have to support at least one more mainboard slot ;-) (nah, nothing, the Dimension is just another board in one of the 4 slots of the cube).

2023-08-04 00:37:21

- reply

@npub1can…0fm9 Oh, I forgot, you did the Cube, not the Station. And I think to drive the color display, it even has to be a NeXTdimension setup ;-)

2023-08-03 23:52:56

- reply

@npub1can…0fm9 I was thinking of this. Maybe the station should then at least have that color designation ;-)
The actual color megapixel displays didn’t have that form factor but have been those fat beasts (17” or 20” I think, I had the 20” but gave it away prior moving to the land of the free)

2023-08-03 23:42:06

@npub1can…0fm9 Rather make the logo colorful. I really think this is wrong for the mono display. you put such much detail into it and then this? ;-)

2023-08-03 23:37:27

- reply

@npub1can…0fm9 I’m not sure. The strength of this one was specifically its focus on B&W. There are Color MegaPixel Displays (and even a color station)

@npub1src…fms4 Then why did you have to cut it open?
(and yes, some ovens can track the core temperature, mine does, but I never use that either, I just stick in an external thermometer) 😬

2023-08-01 01:51:53

- reply

@npub1src…fms4 There are thermometers you can stick into them to figure out whether they are done.
This way it looks like one is talking to the other.

@npub1can…0fm9 Das logo ist 3D aber der schriftzug ist flach. Also diese Schrägen darunter sind wirklich ausgearbeitet

@npub1can…0fm9 Kenn ich nicht, aber vlt würde auch was ganz obskures gehen, wir haben ja 4 CPU Arch’s zur Auswahl, eine wird schon gehen. Oder im Notfall sowas wie Solaris OpenStep.

@npub1can…0fm9 Abwarten, erstmal probieren und an Emus ist ja nix auszusetzen. Wir simulieren hier schließlich einen 25MHz/16MB Rechner auf einem 2? GHz/2? GB RAM Board.

@npub1can…0fm9 Der Schritt danach ist eh die Software, und das ist wieder eher meins. GNUstep oder vlt sogar richtig NeXTstep zum laufen bringen.

@npub1can…0fm9 Ich würde lieber etwas üblicheres haben, mit Raspi kenn ich mich wenigstens marginal aus. Ich weiß gar nicht was ein CM4 ist.

@npub1can…0fm9 Naja gross basteln mag ich nicht. Wenn es Lego mäßig ist, ok. Aber kein Löten oder derlei ;-) Kann ich, aber mag ich nicht 😬

@npub1can…0fm9 “Nur 4 Mainboard sized Slots” :-) Das Mainboard selbst hat aber auch einen Video Ausgang, meine ich. Das ist die Config die ich habe, Mainboard und NeXTdimension für das 2. Display.

@npub1can…0fm9 Ein Cube konnte zumindest theoretisch auch 4 antreiben ;-)

@npub1c0m…xqjl Hm, I kinda like Pages, in fact the whole iWorks suite. Alongside Notes one of the better things Apple does today, software wise.

@npub1can…0fm9 Hard to say, maybe the instance func is not visible to the calling code? Do you have a standalone project/gist that replicates the behaviour?

A while ago I tried it out and wrote a #Flutter for #SwiftUI developers, and the reverse, if you are actually interested in such a thing: https://www.alwaysrightinstitute.com/flutter/
