I went to university but clearly remember spending nights teaching myself stuff that I enjoyed (and failing modules because of it because it took up my time). There was maybe one course, on compilers that I really enjoyed, but everything else was maybe a little bit "eh". The networking course was underwhelming, I knew everything before taking it and it never taught anything practical IN networking either. It's hard for me to give an unbiased view but I partially have seen "both worlds", but now I get to see how others have done without it. nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzp4s5nq3ujrzgvhjtcs62f0s6rm50w24tmqegm5zehf83ramr8v9kqyv8wumn8ghj7mn9wfhhxarj9eux6u3wwfhkx6mn9uq3wamnwvaz7tmcd4ezuatnv4hx7um5wghx7un89uqnyamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwdjhyanfvdjhxtnyv4shvmtf9eshxumfvahx2epwdejhgam0wf4n5dehxumj7qpqdhs0jda545xmdgt8kvj579gzutmmfjnnlvv2fktfy479an4phjtqdwk3uc

You don't need a degree to be a computer scientist. Hope we can destroy that myth going into 2026.

You can now fill up your configuration structs with values derived from JSON. Just added a JSON-based provider to my configuration library, hummus. https://github.com/deavmi/hummus/pull/1 #code #dlang #hummus #json

Nostr not maybe?!?!?

Fellas, what country is this located? #meshtastic

Spent roughly 3 weeks or so learning #Go Was easy actually, in retrospect. The more languages you learn (and by that I mean deeply, not surface level) the easier they become to pick up in a meaningful way.

Lesson learnt: Always space your seeds when planting. my dumb self thought I could just grow carrots like this, RIP I know how it will turn out atleast my turnips and beetroot are growing

Tested out the LillyGo T-Echo today and got great results once again (sim, em cima o meu telhado branco) The benefits of this unit are that it's: 1. Portable: The device comes with this enclosure and only the antenna is detachable (which is good if you want to attach custom ones with longer pigtails) 2. Has an e-ink display: Useful for seeing the updates and significantly more power efficient than a normal screen that other such devices have 3. Builtin-GPS: Your Meshtastic node itself can now broadcast its longitude and lattitude as part of its telemetry data #meshtastic #networking #lora

Learning Go is going well. Slice maxing, they have an interesting implementation. In D, for example, you cannot up-length a slice, only downsize it. To be honest that makes more sense. I understand the differences in the internal implementations too and how to use them, but thought it was interesting that Go did it differently. #D #go

Go's recover() is basically checking-and-clearing errno() during an unwind; but for the 21st city slicker with a Macbook https://go.dev/blog/defer-panic-and-recover

Golang's `defer` is lackin'. Could have added scope guards, but added something that: 1. Only works with function calls? 2. Evaluates the arguments at defer line not deferral time 3. Yeah number 1 tbh Either way enjoying learning another language for fun, took some getting used to (the type system isn't that straight forward; and that's coming from someone who understood OCaml very well/enough). I think it may have been hyped a little but I want to learn it anyways; best way to see if the juice is as sweet as they say it is.

Decided to start learning Go, going to see how much I can learn just before the end of this month. Will probably be the fastest I have learnt a language. Going for a speedrun. #golang

Sorry, I'm back in Mallorca, can't chitchat chica #homelab #docker
