I was telling my mother about what I'm doing today, and I mentioned that I'm working on getting #webrtc nodes to talk to each other. She described it as like marriage counseling for computers...is she wrong? 🤪 #webdev #networks

Amazing new age verification procedure requires no government ID, no credit card numbers, no photography

import { setTimeout } from 'node:timers/promises'

const verifyAge = async () => {
await setTimeout(568_036_800_000)
return true
}

Any other #jetbrains #webstorm users having performance issues lately? It just stalled for me for like a minute, and all I did was type a few characters. Too much time spent on #ai features that I don't use, not enough on basic profiling? If this keeps up I might have to switch back to VS Code

Any #webdev peeps who use #nodejs #vitest or #fastify? I'm blocked on a weird issue with testing an `async` function, and it's driving me nuts. Details at the link. stackoverflow.com/questions/79...
`async` test of a Fastify backend with `@fastify/websocket` times out, but also finishes
I'm trying to test (using Vitest) a part of my Fastify app that uses @fastify/websocket (and transitively ws), but my tests keep timing out despite running to completion. Here's a relevant excerpt ...

I am #zettelkasten -ing the *shit* out of my notes. Think lots of little notes that link to each other, rather than big flat files with walls of text. Man, if I'd only known about this in college... #productivity #adhd #obsidian

I just implemented direct boot support for DSiWare games in melonDS DS! Works like a charm. It'll be in the next release. #retrogaming #nintendo #nds #retroarch #libretro

One year ago today, I cut the first release of a melonDS DS, a new #nintendods core for #libretro #retroarch! github.com/JesseTG/melo... I don't have anything special for today, but exciting things are in the works! Just gotta finish some boring things first. #buildinpublic #retrogaming

I've lived on an island in or near #NYC my entire life. I've never known anything other than wet summers, increasingly warm winters, and the occasional scraps when someone else gets hit by a hurricane or cold snap. At least the wildlife isn't terrifying. (Maybe excluding rats in New York.)

Finally wrote some docs for melonDS DS! docs.libretro.com/library/melo... Been putting it off for a while, but since the one-year anniversary of 1.0 is Sunday now's a good time! Let's see if I can't get 1.2.0 out by then... #libretro #retrogaming #nintendo #nds #retroarch

Does anyone else feel like they're spending so much time writing about how great they are that they're neglecting what actually make them great? Or is it just me? #layoffs #unemployed

Finally getting around to writing a doc page for melonDS DS. Important because the author of this melonDS DS PR github.com/JesseTG/melo... provided a great writeup on LAN netplay...but the #libretro docsite is a better home for it. #retrogaming #opensource #buildinpublic

To the spammers in my inbox: thank you, but

- I'm fine with what's in my pants.
- Elon, I don't need solar panels today. Don't you have 17 companies to run?
- I don't have an account with Chase.
- I haven't used RoundUp in years.
- My cholesterol is good.
- I've had 5 "last chances" already.

Oh, all right. I'm Jesse, a software engineer who loves #gaming and the tech underneath it! Right now I contribute to #libretro to recreate the experience of #retrogames. I'm also looking for work! You got some legacy code to clean up, I'm your guy. #promosky
