People in the #fediverse development community are posting about "SWF" but this is the only thing I think about when I see that acronym

Gregory

The worst thing you can do as a software developer is to abstract yourself away from your target platform without a detailed understanding of the costs and purposes of your abstractions.

The second worst thing you can do is use "we" or "us" in your UI strings.

Thanks Android Studio, TIL that the only USB 3.0 type-C cable I own is the one I use to connect the monitor to the macbook 🙈

Gregory

You already know who I am, yet you're still asking for that fucking password.

@grishka 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭

Swallowed a jargon book 🤣🤣🤣

Complexity of systems

@grishka fun fact at least 75% or more (likely more) of conversations about blockchain are non-consensual

In its relentless effort to ignore the pixel grid, Apple has somehow managed to offset most of the UI in the weather app in Sonoma by half a pixel. Look at this blurry mess!

And don't tell me that Apple hasn't sold a Mac with a low-dpi screen in ages. They still sell computers that don't come with a screen. People *will* use their existing low-dpi monitors with their Mac Minis.

So I introduced modules into #Smithereen, now my stack traces look like the real enterprise shit 🤪

Gregory

Should it be possible to mention people in comments in #Smithereen photo albums? 🤔

Fun thing about using bleeding-edge Java features: a surprising number of syntax highlighters don't know about some of the new-ish keywords and don't highlight them as such.

Alexey (is overheating)

@grishka Interesting. Perhaps it's because most new keywords are contextual. For example, `sealed` only has special meaning in combination with `class` so things like `boolean sealed = true;` are allowed. If a syntax highlighter only looks at individual lexical tokens, it can't differentiate between those contexts and some highlighters may not want to deal with this

Can someone maybe mod the Google Photos Android app to remove the update nag? It's driving me nuts.

mittorn

@grishka maybe better install some different app and remove all goolag bullshit?

Gregory

Real-time progressive blur on Android 👀

mittorn

@grishka Android 1.x-2.x actively used blur in design, but it was deprecated and removed later...

Gregory

One thing that somehow bothers me about 🇹🇷 changing its official English name is — how the hell are you supposed to pronounce the ü? There's no such letter in English.

Gregory

Somehow, the only way I found to test touch events in JS on desktop is the iOS simulator that comes with Xcode ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

mittorn

@grishka but xcode not comes to desktop, it's only comes t iMac...

TypeScript must be the only OOP language in this entire universe where PRIVATE fields of two classes in the same inheritance hierarchy can conflict with each other.

Braw ☕🏳️‍🌈

@grishka because these aren't really private fields, it's TS concept. private fields begin with # and can accessed only by the class. otherwise they're normal fields that shadow the fields underneath:

```js
{
class A {
field = 'uwu'
a() {
return this.field
}
}

class B extends A {
field = 'owo'
b() {
return super.field
}
}

const b = new B();
console.log(b.a()) // ⇒ "owo"
console.log(b.b()) // => undefined
}
```

I'd definitely hate to suddenly wake up straight

Heh, there's a Mastodon account that collects these ads

There's one thing Twitter is still good for: publicly shaming various organizations to have your problems solved

Evv1L

@grishka and shaming people in general :bleba:

I feel like I need to change the image sizes in #Smithereen. My idea with each size being 2x of the previous one is proving to be ever more of a pain in the ass. Thankfully, since I use imgproxy, it's only a matter of changing some code and the rest would "just work".

Here are the image sizes Telegram and VK use.

Gregory

What if I use the Telegram ones, but add one in-between size of 640x640? 🤔

Gregory

Some of the new Reddit mods are so toxic. Instead of apologizing for the bot being too harsh and reinstating my submission, they just banned me because I dared to ask what exactly I didn't "punctuate correctly".

@grishka why are you still trying to post in this garbage bin known as Reddit? They replaced mods for most popular reddits with spez bootlickers. Hard to see any other interaction happening there.

Typical offended asshole with powers.

#crowdstrike is an irregular English verb: crowdstrike, crowdstruck, crowdstricken
