I think I’m finally happy with the new API of the (hitherto undocumented and experimental) stateful components in Kitten.
I’ve been trying to get it as close to plain JS as possible without any framework magic. (There’s still a lot of framework magic but it’s behind the scenes, not at the syntax level.)
It’s taken longer than I thought it would (if I had a penny…) but I think this was worth it.
🤞 new release should be next week alongside TypeScript support, etc.

I sometimes write scripts in Windows #PowerShell because it's a programming tool that is widely available in my environment without requiring any additional installs. I find the syntax to be clunky, but it's capable.
As I've noted before, I'm required to use Copilot at work, so I use it for tasks like this to burn tokens and earn work termination deferment points.

{nplyr} has helper functions to work on nested dataframes: #rstats #datascience

A Grammar of Nested Data Manipulation
Provides functions for manipulating nested data frames in a list-column using dplyr syntax. Rather than unnesting, then manipulating a data frame, nplyr allows users to manipulate each nested data frame directly. nplyr is a wrapper for dplyr functions that provide tools for common data manipulation steps: filtering rows, selecting columns, summarising grouped data, among others.

Totally normal workflow:
I work on documenting #Jinja syntax used in #CondaForge recipes.
#Prism doesn't have one. But Internets suggest Twig would work instead.
#Docusaurus. But there's a workaround.
https://github.com/facebook/docusaurus/issues/8065
So I copy the code over to the project, fix it and while at it, rename it to "jinja" and adjust a bit.
But then, highlighting Jinja expressions alone looks pretty bleak, so let's combine it with YAML… Hmm, that actually doesn't work that well, needs some more adjustments. And before you know it, I have a pretty new Jinja highlighter, and a recipe highlighter that combines Jinja expressions, YAML, v0 recipe selectors, v1 if:/skip: conditions, and also highlighting shell / cmd variables for a good measure.

I am still actively using the original programme that I wrote in 1985 to manage my comic collection. It is written in dBASE III syntax and compiled with Clipper on a state-of-the art Commodore PC20 with Intel 8088 (4,77 MHz, 16-Bit-architecture) CPU, 256 kB RAM, and 10 MB hard drive (fancy stuff, back then). Today, over 40 years later, the user interface may look a tiny bit outdated, but everything still works like a charm.

This feature provides syntax-level compatibility with the SERVICE wikibase:label extension, enabling queries written for the Wikidata Query Service to run more seamlessly on Virtuoso.
In practical terms, developers can reuse existing SPARQL queries that rely on SERVICE wikibase:label—without needing to rewrite label-handling logic—while benefiting from Virtuoso’s performance, flexibility, and deployment options.

I've been playing around with GNU Octave in the terminal while taking my Linear algebra course. So far it's run everything I've thrown at it in Matlab syntax without question, and it's really been helpful grinding through assignments.
Yet another reminder of how awesome Free Software is, what a perfect match it is for academic use and what a terrible shame it is that almost no universities take advantage of such resources, always seeming to prefer proprietary crap.

Me, just now: ugh, why doesn't this stupid IDE just suggest the syntax correction instead of making me remember it and figure it out.

Oof, I've already started becoming lazy using the (company-manded) chat LLM to help diagnose errors. I don't see how a new programmer is ever going to develop the skills and patience to debug a major problem.

In the paper we:
... use the modelling tools of space syntax in creative and exploratory ways to represent and visualise a subset of experiences of people with disabilities (e.g. the overwhelming sensory experience);
... reflect on the shortcomings of the method but also:
... highlight how the visualisations help communicate building strengths and weaknesses and contribute to a possible diagnostic process of evaluation of layouts in the future

{lubridate} makes working with dates in R just that little bit easier: #rstats #dates

i spent hours making changes to code and it turned out that none of them were needed 😔
this is for my website's SSG setup
which uses 11ty with asciidoctor.js
so i spent a lot of time creating an asciidoctor.js extension to not html escape code blocks so that i could postprocess them later using cheerio and prismjs for syntax highlighting but it turns out that cheerio has html deescaping built in via the .text() method
it turns out that you need to register extensions…
