Fuckin’ sick

One of these days, I’m going to take a vacation. A real vacation. And I will know it’s a real vacation when I get a full 7.5 hours sleep in a single session.

(This is only likely to happen if/when I lose my phone)

Oh, that’s an odd choice. It should at least show me a thing was there!

I no see drawing. Unless you drew that mass of people attempting the pull the microphone from that one old man? 🤣

A screenshot of Gleam code that reads: list.strict_zip(chunked1, chunked2) |> result.replace_error(InvalidDiagram("Rows different length")) |> result.map(list.map(_, fn(pair) {list.append(pair.0, pair.1)})) |> result.try(list.try_map(_, list.try_map(_, code_to_plant)))

Second, swapping out the meaning of errors from std library functions is dead easy.

Third, the function capture syntax is a double edged sword, or would be without the type system and the fast, explicit tooling. Any other language, I'd be refactoring that last line for clarity.

First thing I noticed is that even though I was trying to avoid `let assert` and similar constructs, ultimately it was needed at the top level. After all, there is no (sensible) way to convert an error into a list.

But because I was returning an actual Result, the Errors were still being reported!

For giggles, I took what would otherwise be a very simple challenge and tried to build it so we couldn't make any assumptions about the input.

The protections took an extra ~20 lines but more importantly the process revealed things about #gleamlang that make this easy.

I’m really looking forward to FF Tactics on the Switch 2 but the permutations of bundles and offerings are making it a hard pill to swallow

* switch 2 is digital only
* switch 1 cartridge is $2 cheaper than eShop CA
* deluxe edition bonuses are switch 1 digital exclusive
* digital 1-2 upgrade path

They did Triangle Strategy as well, right? I’m playing through that now

Did Elliott look that good? I didn’t watch the direct but the press release made it seem… meh.

I’ll have to check it out

Top 3, go

Three vinyl stickers of the game changer loop-de-loop in progress pride, trans, and non-binary colours respectively. The stickers also have the words "we've been here the whole time"

Game Changer pride stickers are out now 🎉 (with massive thanks to @samreich.bsky.social for giving me permission to sell them!)

Oh wow… this comic treatment for the sagas is genius

We have done this experiment one billion times and it has worked great all one billion times.

My wife put this together 🤣

Inclusivity as a toxic trait: Everyone MUST PLAY!!

That meant that he never could settle in with the crowd of dogs and their owners, cause he just really wanted to meet that last dog!

When the other dogs came out to play with him though, everything was great! Just one barking match, which was expected.

Bonus: he walked away with a bag of favours!

A solid 6/10 showing for Argenti!

He immediately charged at every dog, which he shouldn’t. But it was each time in the spirit of “puppy wants to play!” and not “this is my park!”

Once he met each dog once he was far more relaxed. Unfortunately, 1 dog got spooked enough that the owners kept it back

Looking forward to a little doggy play date in the park this afternoon! A local dog owner has been inviting whoever she encounters on walks out to her dog’s birthday party. Expecting lots and lots of little black Pomeranian floofs running about!

And one very playful Argenti pleading to make friends

I think you should do it! It’ll be a good experience even if it’s rough to start

The energy from the coffee nap has already faded. Woe is me

This is not sustainable in any sense 😧

It's got enough room for me & the whole squad ⚔️

I have always admired the reputation of Erlang and Elixir, but Louis' work building @gleam.run has made that ecosystem approachable. I'm doing coding challenges to learn the language better, rather than game. I am constantly 🤤 over the idea of refactoring work systems.

Sponsoring is a no brainer.

I’m going to be digesting this for awhile. If you work in software, you might want to as well.

No, scratch that. Read this. Consider it. And then share what you’ve decided.

What are the ethical choices for digital music access these days? I already checked Bandcamp (seems to have interesting remixes, but no access to the original) but even that is in doubt after recent acquisitions cast a pall over it

I’m seriously at risk of re-subscribing to a music service so that I can listen to Free and What It Sounds Like on loop.

…or buying the album/singles? Can we go back to 2005? Let me pay $2 once to soothe my addiction

Woooooooow

I’m in danger…
