Worked on some more #Gentoo global #jobserver goodies today.
Firstly, Portage jobserver support patch: #PyTest jobs will also be counted towards total job count.
Again, it's not a perfect solution, but it works reasonably. The plugin still starts -n jobs as specified by the arguments, but it acquired job tokens prior to executing every test, therefore delaying actual testing until tokens are available. It doesn't seem to cause noticeable overhead either.

This is a lovely Christmas ad/video from a local garage that keeps winning national awards. Very well done 🎅🛷 Prob ties in with the tractor run tomorrow night 🚜

Deno, the next-generation JavaScript runtime
Deno features improved security, performance, and developer experience compared to its predecessor. It's a great time to upgrade your Node.js project to run on Deno.

Aeolian dune simulation (made in 2017) for #MeerMittwoch:
The images show a screenshot of the JavaScript application to create the simulation and some Houdini renders of exported height fields. The sim itself had 5 macro params to control the behavior of the interactive deposit/erosion/transportation process. It supported tileable patterns, customizable seed terrain (images) and ran r…

JavaScript engines zoo
This is probably the reason why certain JavaScripts do not run everywhere, because they are "optimized" on their engine again. In my opinion, this is a tedious tinkering as it was back then.

Uff. Wenn man #curl in #powershell nutzt (aka: nicht das echte curl, sondern ein Wrapper von #Microsoft), dann wird zurückgegebenes Javascript einfach ohne Rückfrage ausgeführt. Was kan…

»Just use HTML — JavaScript is…
- Slower to load
- Slower to run
- More prone to breaking
- Harder to read and reason about
- Doesn’t actually look like the final output«
Don't use JavaScript for the design, because CSS as well as SVG images can create a lot of animation and the ability to create a dynamic web interface.

Just use HTML
I’ve worked on so many projects recently that were more complicated than they needed to be because they used JavaScript to generate HTML. JavaScript is… Slower to load Slower to run More prone to breaking Harder to read and reason about Doesn’t actually look like the final output It’s inferior to just using HTML in nearly every way. I’m not saying never use JavaScript, though. I think JS is great at augmenting and enhancing what’s already there, and adding interactivity that canno…

Little JavaScript tip:
You know you can comment out code to quickly disable it:
```js
/*
console.log(‘I won’t run’)
*/
```
But did you know you can also use a labelled block with a break statement to do the same thing in a more flexible manner?
```js
disable: {
break disable
console.log(‘I wont’t run’)
}
```
Then, you can quickly the move the `break disable` to different lines to execute different bits of code wit…
