@prologic well then, and now we will never freaking know because you have the memory of a damn fly. Thank you so much! 🤣

@shinyoukai what app is that?

@aelaraji does that mean your identity gets associated with your Apex domain or your sub domain?

it's not an apple and it's not a guava

@bender LOL 🤣

@shinyoukai Yes! 🙌

@movq how long do they need to read the scale? LOL. The penguin stayed put at least twice, no issues. I think the creator wanted some Internet points out of that video. 😂

@prologic that some kind of apple native to the area. Mum grows a tree of it, I will ask her for the Vietnamese name.

@shinyoukai that has to be one of my stupid designs of activity pub 😆

I don't know what this fruit is called! The waiter at breakfast told me the Vietnamese name but I've since forgotten 😂

@movq Yup did yjay some weeks ago 👌

@movq I bet. I wouldn't be surprised if it more popular in some Discord servers too. I mean, the event itself is quite obscure, so... yeah.

@aelaraji good luck with that! Their installation requirements, and install document in general give me headache. While on the contemplating topic, I too am contemplating shutting down my ActivityPub altogether. No GoToSocial, no nothing. I am mostly a lurker, so will not miss it much.

@aelaraji I like the sounds of this technique a lot redirecting these AI crawling assholes to multi gigabyte files! The only concern I have is how do you do it in such a way that you don't end up destroying your own ISP speed test servers?

@itsericwoodward So you're found for Javascript eh? 🧐

@bender Would you like me to say moar words ? 🤣

@shinyoukai I don't know about you, but I completely missed the point. Heck, I didn't even know there was one, until you mentioned it. Nah, he's got no point. LOL.

@shinyoukai carrying an MQTT broker isn't exactly very simple though 😆

@lyse no wonder I picked that cake (albeit coincidentally), I adore almonds, and hazelnuts! Your teammates are absolutely amazing, dude! A very nice project farewell! On leaving places I have a small anecdote.

I know someone who on 3 February 2004 left his job to go elsewhere. At the time his teammates threw a party, and gave him a very nice portable storage. Twenty days later, he returned, and jokingly they asked him for the storage, and money spent on farewell party back. I heard, from a close source, that he gave them his middle finger, but don't quote me on that. 😂😂😂

@kiwu I'd recommend the one i linked you to a 2nd hand Sony 👌

Before smartphones people used to use the Sony Camcorders, but even though they still exist today, they're uber expensive 😂

@kiwu Only thing i can find that meets your requirements is the ORDRO HDV-V12 HD 1080P Video Camera Recorder Is 80m of video rexorsinimg enough for you?

@bender Haha 🤣 I need a good break after this insane year 😂

@prologic dayum! Australians truly know how to vacay! 🥳

@lyse what’s on the one on the left, back? Looks… enticing! 🤤

@movq Not for another two weeks i'm afraid 🤣

That's Bảo Tháp of the Trấn Quốc Pagoda, on a small island near the southeastern shore of West Lake (Hồ Tây), in Hanoi. Oldest Buddhist pagoda in Hanoi.

Saw this thing today 🧐

I actually can't progress to day two till I get home 🤣 -- I haven't pushed the code for the mu compiler yet 🤦‍♂️ So no-one can check my work even if they were so kind 🤣

@bender Amen and al ha 😂🤣

@bender Haha 😂 It was such good beer 👌

@prologic maybe they should dedicate one of their advent days to make sure their site is responsive. 😂

I see beer, and I upvote. I see "amazinf" beer, and I am thirsty already, and it's not even 07:00! 😂

For those visiting Hanoi in the Old Quarters that are beer snobs like me; highly recommend this place called Local Craft Beer 🤩

Found this place in Hanoi in Vietnam 🥳 Amazinf beer!!! 🍺

completely untested as i have no remote way of running mu code from Vietnam 🤣

AoC Day #1 solution (mu): https://gist.mills.io/prologic/d3c22bcbc22949939b715a850fe63131

Hmmmm the AoC site is not mobile friendly 😢 Can someone post the puzzles as Twts? 🤣

The most interesting part about mu is that the language is actually self-hosted and written in itself. There is a stage zero compound written and go on a stage one compiler written in mu

Thinking about doing Advent of Code in my own tiny language mu this year.

mu is:

• Dynamically typed
• Lexically scoped with closures
• Has a Go-like curly-brace syntax
• Built around lists, maps, and first-class functions

Key syntax:

• Functions use fn and braces:

fn add(a, b) {
    return a + b
}

• Variables use := for declaration and = for assignment:

x := 10
x = x + 1

• Control flow includes if / else and while:

if x > 5 {
    println("big")
} else {
    println("small")
}

while x < 10 {
    x = x + 1
}

• Lists and maps:

nums := [1, 2, 3]
nums[1] = 42

ages := {"alice": 30, "bob": 25}
ages["bob"] = ages["bob"] + 1

Supported types:

• int
• bool
• string
• list
• map
• fn
• nil

mu feels like a tiny little Go-ish, Python-ish language — curious to see how far I can get with it for Advent of Code this year. 🎄

Oh dear god 😱 The level of pollution on Hanoi is insane 🥺 I can't stop coughing outside 🤯

@prologic pretty neat looking boat. We don't see boats like this around here. It looks to be made specifically to resemble an older boat.

@prologic pretty cool! I like these, wish there was a way (I am sure there is, but not for tourists) to go to the top. :-)

Sharing some photos of our Vietnam trip so far...

@bender You are so right 🤣

@prologic don’t seek the problems. If they exist, they will show at your doorstep. Hahahaha! Anyway, shame on me, I should be sleeping, so I ought to.

@bender No, but if there's a problem i want to know about it so i can address it 😆
