Already miss you, Vancouver!

Oakridge-41st has some of the most beautiful buildings in North America right next to the world's shittiest condo building. It already looks 20 years out of date right after construction with those weird boxy floors

The elevated SkyTrain link from Langley to Surrey is going to be so damn cool. Already looks like it's from 2035

Will I be buying a Framework next? I was seriously considering it for quite a while, but this has given me a bit of a pause. DHH etc.

Some updates on the #Framework situation. I'm glad that they are being explicit about these kinds of things.
A screenshot of this Tweet: To avoid disappointing anyone later who wants to ascribe beliefs to me, I am pro-immigrant and pro-LGBTQ. I’m also pro open source and have committed myself to guiding people out of closed ecosystems into open ones. This is not posted under duress, but under a realization that at a certain scale of visibility, it becomes insufficient to hold beliefs without stating them, because others will attempt to state them for you.

New progress on the #puregotk #GObject introspection things I'm working on in #Go . It's super early, but I added preliminary support for generated getters/setters for properties. No more manual value setup & `SetProperty` calls required, just a simple `SetPropertyX` call.
This code: applicationClass.OverrideActivate(func(a *gio.Application) { exampleApp := (*exampleApplication)(unsafe.Pointer(a.GetData(dataKeyGoInstance))) var app gtk.Application a.Cast(&app) obj := gobject.NewObject(senbaragtk.MainApplicationWindowGLibType(), "application", app, ) var window senbaragtk.MainApplicationWindow obj.Cast(&window) exampleApp.window = &window var cb func(senbaragtk.MainApplicationWindow) = func(w senbaragtk.MainApplicationWindow) { fmt.Println("Test button clicked") exampleApp.window.ShowToast("Button was clicked!") exampleApp.window.SetPropertyTestButtonSensitive(false) time.AfterFunc(time.Second*3, func() { exampleApp.window.ShowToast("Button re-enabled after 3 seconds") exampleApp.window.SetPropertyTestButtonSensitive(true) }) } exampleApp.window.ConnectButtonTestClicked(&cb) exampleApp.window.Present() }) This code: vfunc_activate() { this.#window = new SenbaraGtk.MainApplicationWindow({ application: this, }); this.#window.connect("button-test-clicked", () => { console.log("Test button clicked"); this.#window.show_toast("Button was clicked!"); this.#window.test_button_sensitive = false; setTimeout(() => { this.#window.show_toast("Button re-enabled after 3 seconds"); this.#window.test_button_sensitive = true; }, 3000); }); this.#window.present(); }

Continued some #GObject subclassing support in Go. Turns out I messed up the C memory alignment in #Go for and ended up embedding the parent class as a reference, when GObject expects it to be the actual struct.
An example application window with GTK inspector open, showing ExampleApplication as it's type.

Now that my PRs for #GObject subclassing support in Go are up on GitHub and ready for review, I can get started porting over Sessions to Gsk instead of Cairo.
Sessions running with the GTK inspector open. A custom widget shows up in the inspector.

May I present: Typed subclassing of #GObject classes in Golang! Still a WIP, but this is enough now to create proper custom #GTK widgets in #Golang without needing to import any `purego`/CGo code to subclass.

Love the new "sign in with <x>" OAuth feature on Bluesky, really neat for signing into something like Tangled.

Tailwind dev on Twitter: " In hindsight, it's very fucked up how stressed I used to be worrying about someone PRing a banner for some political cause to one of my docs sites and having to somehow say "no I don't want to get involved in this" without getting attacked by the mob." " In the old days, this would've had no likes because the crazies would've looked through the list of people who liked it and attacked them as well. Private likes was a huge positive step towards revealing that the vocal minority was in fact a minority 👍🏻"

It's truly fall here in Vancouver now. What a great day to grab some Matcha and start setting up your new RISC-V powered soldering iron with friends :)
