What's everyone doing this weekend? Anyone have exciting / unusual plans? I'm hanging out here on the island of Lanzarote and mostly just coding. Simple pleasures :)

Anyone using a Gemini client on iOS they'd recommend? Ideally looking for something easy without having to compile myself. @skyjake While I'm on the subject, do you have longer-term plans to have an App Store release for iOS? Might be a nice way to support development. I'd happily pay premium for it.

I've just lost 10 minutes to a wonderful version of the I-can't-find-the-sunglasses-that-are-on-my-head problem in which I've been debugging code that randomly stopped playing sound, except it didn't, I just didn't have my headphones on my actual head.

Happy Monday folks. Hope everyone has an awesome week. I'm working on my own stuff this week, and I'm super excited to have only that as my sole focus. Single-tasking ftw.

I love being shit at something. No ego, no embarrassment in trying and failing repeatedly, progress is obvious to see, everyone can help you. Holding onto this mindset once you really start to make progress is rare. Rare and valuable tend to overlap often.

Hello from the Atlantic ocean! I'm on a ship headed to Lazarote and I'm somehow picking up a 4G signal, so I've tethered so I can use Lagrange. First Atlantic ocean post on Gemini? π

So I've been thinking. Wanderlust, while used too often, is still a cool German word that captures the essence of wanting to be somewhere else β the desire (lust) to be wandering (wander). But eventually, such an unfulfilled desire doesn't feel so positive, so I've always been on a first-name basis with Fernweh β far pain, or the pain of not being somewhere far away (in contrast to homesickness). Reflecting on the last month hanging out in the Canary islands, I'm grateful that I've had no cause to use either of these words. In fact I now wish to coin a new pair: Hierlust (the desire to be right here) and Anderswoweh (the pain of thinking about being anywhere else).

I've been pretty quiet on here since before Xmas. I've been traveling again. I really should sort out a mobile client. Hope everyone's 2022 has started well! πͺ

Station just reached 1500 (1501 now) posts! I'm loving the active, niche, friendly community we have here. Every time I visit there's something that catches my attention, and that's great to see considering the tiny corner of the internet we occupy. Here's to the next 1500!

It's a grey, rainy day here in Manchester, UK. I'm staying in drinking Club-Mate and writing code all day, and I couldn't be happier.

JavaScript is 26 years old today. Crazy. Feels more like NaN years to me.

I built a little turn-based game for some training I'm delivering. Goal: write a bot that finds and destroys its opponent. Here, bot 2 guesses the movement pattern of bot 1 and lays a mine in its path. This one should be fun to run! π Quick demo: https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1463473663576088579/pu/pl/638JNY7n9HKh23_H.m3u8?tag=12&container=fmp4&descending=true

Not getting your StackOverflow questions answered? Got questions sitting around collecting nothing but internet dust? Simply make a second account and post a blatantly incorrect answer. Watch as hundreds of thousands of programmers from around the world descend on your question with their knowledge.

TIL: the oldest lightbulb (Centennial Light Bulb) has been almost continuously on since 1901. It's now 120 years old. It has been in Fire Station 6, Livermore, California since 1976 where it still burns.
