@jmjl Yeah I've seen some attempts at this, wasn't able to get them to work though, but I think that's probably arguably better in some ways 👌

Oh, that's very interesting! Pruning test dependencies from Go binaries. Gotta check our stuff at work tomorrow. I hope that we didn't mess up, I know of at least a couple of test packages we have for code reuse. Yarnd and yarns look alright in that regard. Just an hour ago I also learned go version -m $go_binary to find out which things ended up in the built binary, sweet.
After a long time I have finally tinkered a bit again in the workshop. Wanted to build a door lift to easily unhang and more importantly hang all the doors again after greasing the door hinges. Such a contraption is basically just a lever with a hook and looks like that:
https://cdn.hornbach.de/data/shop/D04/001/780/491/286/174/DV_8_6571532_01_4c_DE_20171213194716.jpg
When I first tried it out, I broke the wooden lever. Dang it! Luckily, I haven't finished it yet. Maybe I didn't open the door all the way and it got hung up on the door lintel which is of course tons stronger. Now I'm glueing my lever back together and add a support piece over the break line.
Even though it didn't go to plan, it was good fun being in the woodshop again.
@movq LaTeX magic at its finest, indeed! :-D
I read the README and it says "asciifield renders a starfield in your terminal, much like the good old screensaver". This now makes perfectly sense. But before seeing it in action I couldn't make out what a starfield would be. I thought maybe it is a view from earth into the (local) sky to see some constellations, like Great Bear (the only one I recognize). I didn't get the screensaver reference, even though I immediately remembered that I have seen it a few times back in the days, once the demo started. I doubt that I used it a lot. So it mostly boils down to lack of educational requirements on my end. ;-)
Something along "spaceship pilot's view of flying into a starfield" would have helped me for sure. Others probably might have no trouble with the current concise description. :-) I'm surely not the best person when it comes to retro things. I joined the computing world quite late.

@abucci Let’s be optimistic and hope that that’ll have a similar effect on them than it had on Twitter. 🤞 (Yeah, it probably won’t. It probably takes an Elon Musk to ruin a platform efficiently.)
It is so scary how much we depend on YouTube. 😢

Ugh, ffs--the datasette project just added #ChatGPT garbage. Another seemingly nice piece of software and project that I need to stop using.
I guess I can be thankful they self-identify.

@shreyan I don't think VLC is suitable here either. I'm seeing if Invidious _can_ really do what I want, but I really need to figure out if I can block comments and trending from "the world".

I wonder, what's the current status of analyzing Go dependencies in general? Does one still require a diploma on that matter or got this any better in the meantime? → https://search.twtxt.net/search?q=%23jz6y7sa&t=term&f=conv&s=created&s=_id All I want to do is find out why some dependency is included, wether a certain dependency is a production or test dependency and things like that. I also see still lots of open general tickets, e.g. #46365, #42504, etc.
What tools or commands do you use?
Also, what's up with yarns? The link in @prologic's message doesn't show up in the "conversation view" in yarns (my first link). Yarns needs more love. :-)

@prologic Invidious might satisfy these requirements: https://invidious.io
It's worth noting, though, that Youtube is right now in the process of locking itself down and it might not be long before all third-party frontends stop working. Similar to what twitter and reddit are doing.
@movq Thanks! The document looked so nice, I just had to read it all. Couldn't help myself. Even though I never used anything even just this advanced after my uni maths lectures. That brought back memories.
Nice progress, the demo video is cool and promising. With that visual impression I now know what this program actually does (flying into a cluster of stars). Couldn't imagine that before.
@lyse Yeah, stagit doesn’t show binary files. 😭 I should patch that. It’s really annoying and often puts off people. If you want to enjoy the beauty, here’s a temporary link:

There are some TODOs left. Sadly, none of what I’ve done so far warrants a PDF. 😅 It was pretty straightforward. C is an amazingly portable language.
Haha, right, the CV must have been the last “serious” LaTeX document for me as well …

@prologic Why not? You told us your daughter likes programming with her dad, doesn't she? So terminal use would be a next good skill to pick up. :-)
But on a wee bit more (not much) serious note, you could probably rig something up with yt-dlp. Build a web interface or something.
@movq Could be, but we have those idiots, too. Luckily not on a regular basis, though. Mostly in the warmer season. Last trip was especially positive, that's for sure. Maybe the heat helps to keep the streets clean. :-)
@thecanine Yeah I'm not really seeing much out there that does what I need 😢

@movq Looks like your git hosting software does not allow downloading binary files (or I can't use my eyes). I was too lazy to clone the repo, so I just skimmed over the LaTeX code itself. :-)
Porting asciifield to DOS would give you a chance to document this endeavor in a (series of) LaTeX document(s). ;-)
I also love PDFs that were set with LaTeX. They just look so good. My last LaTeX use was with the beamer document class several years ago for a bunch of presentations I gave at work. I wrote a forest recreation planning software that generated LaTeX code for the personalized custodian timetables, that was in use even after my handcrafted LaTeX documents. But these days I also don't have any use cases anymore. On second thought, that very last thing must have been in fact my CV for job applications.

@New_scientist No it doesn't. "Google AI" has been self-promoting like this for decades. Remember when they used to brag that they could predict the onset of flu season weeks before it started? That silently went way because they got it badly wrong many times and people caught on to how bad their "predictions" actually were.
They can't stop themselves. Anything about AI coming out of big tech companies these days is marketing, not real, and certainly not science.

@New_scientist because of course they have.
Emily Bender, a computational linguistic and excellent critic of this generative AI nonsense, uses an analogy of an oil spill to characterize what is happening as a result of generative AI. It's polluting the world with false information, false images, false "academic" articles, false books. The companies that create this stuff are not cleaning up their misinformation spill; they're letting the mess spread all over. It's being used to commit crimes, and that'll only get worse. Just like an out of control oil spill will destroy entire ecosystems.
