Neither #Affinity nor #Darktable seemingly support 1D LUTs, which would have been too easy and useful for my #DigitalNegative preparation tool... Instead they both insist on using only 3D LUT…

What do you use more often in TypeScrypt? :BoostOK:
(Yes, I have copied the question but I'm looking forward to today's opinion of the WebDev's.)

Over Thanksgiving I’ve been using TypeScript more, after previous experience with Python typing. Some things are way better. Some are worse.
In Python, you can declare and initialize a field together:
self.foo: int = 5
In TS, you can do this in two ways. You can write in the class declaration
foo: number = 5;
but the expression is evaluated before the constructor(!). Or you can write
constructor(public foo: number)
but this only works if i…

I wish there was a #JavaScript / #TypeScript package manager that behaved more like #RustLang's cargo. Specifically, in a workspace of many inter-dependent packages, I only want to f…

My actual experience of AI coding over the last few days. Starting point is a large working prototype application written mostly in typescript, and I want a version in Python, so I have Claude working away at it, porting over the BDD tests, the unit tests, comparing with the TS. This morning it’s working on unit tests for 8 services. it saw there was a lot to do, so it spawned four coder specialists and worked for about 50min, creating 188 tests, then continued with four more coders.

For #TextureTuesday some more WIP snapshots of STRATA, a generative system I've been on/off working on since 2014 (in Clojure/TypeScript/Zig, originally for the cover design of HOLO magazine), loosely based on 1950s research/experiments by Barricelli, somewhat related to cellular automata and extended to use a different and much larger set of "reproduction/collision rules" f…

I’m using Claude-code to get stuff done that I couldn’t have done before. I just spent a non-frustrating hour or so successfully changing a system written mostly in typescript (which I’ve never used) to do a bunch of things differently. I’m telling it what I want the system to do (with BDD tests where possible) and it’s figuring out the code changes. Several days work for a human, weeks if I had to find someone to do it for me.

Hach ja, wie in jeder Programmiersprache macht deren Einsatz je nach Lösung seinen Sinn - JavaScript mMn nur bei Web-Oberflächen und dann aber bitte so Datenschutz sicher wie möglich in TypeScript.

Tags are sets. Many apps support tagging of content, but most of them (incl. Mastodon) treat tags only as singular/isolated topic filters, akin to a flat folder-based approach. But tagging can be so, so much more powerful when treating tags as sets and offering users the possibility to combine and query tagged content as sets (think Venn diagrams), i.e. allowing tags to be combined using AND/OR/NOT aka intersection/union/difference operations...
Below is a simple query engine to do jus…

»The Origin Story of JavaScript:
JavaScript wasn't always the cool kid on the block. In this talk, we'll follow how a lil 10-day hackathon became the cornerstone of modern web dev.«
Personally, I prefer TypeScript, in which I admittedly write almost only pure JavaScript. But this is also only drawn in web frontends and nowhere else.

AI is Dumber on Mondays
It's Monday morning. My coffee is hot, my IDE is open, and Claude Code just suggested I fix a bug by... creating the exact same bug in a different file. Cursor is hallucinating function names that don't exist. Codex thinks undefined is a valid return type in TypeScript.
Did the AI catch a case of the Mondays?
🤔

More releases today: New version of https://thi.ng/genart-api, an art-platform-independent API for browser-based generative art.
The new version (v0.28.0) addresses some recent (type) changes in TypeScript and updates the WebAssembly bindings to support the latest Zig 0.15.1 (just like releases of some of my o…
