Still dreaming that someday I'll make the world ever so slightly better.

It’s so nice when they finally have my size in stock

Remember those good old days when a measly GB was considered a large amount of data?

I'm hoping 😳 that I can edit this library from 2 machines after this to speed work up...

Even better if I can get Compressor to go into multi-machine mode

Raw footage is elsewhere btw... this is just proxy data

So sad…

We're back

Well actually since this is #BlueSky it's a little bit more like: we're finally here

Yes I need TONS of coaching on TONS of things I know -- awareness is the first step --- as a tech-head I've been behind the scenes not front and centre

But

I'm doing it anyways...

Had one of those “future is now” moments while driving past a robot lawnmower just calmly cutting the grass without and fanfare or even much noise

Things change ever so slowly until they change and then it all seems so sudden

Beach #vibes day

Dev Challenge

Does anyone have a work-around for this?

#Scala / #Laminar

Compiler takes you through a deep never-ending rabbit hole if you try to add a class when you've got varArgs

Without the cls := line however the compiler is perfectly happy

The developers that use GUIs should be forced to live with only them. Why doesn't this have options?

- take me to the file?
- show me the entire path so I know where the hell this is
- show me technical data about the error
- allow me to see the info box on that file
- allow me to rename and retry

AI claims:

Writing 168K lines of Scala is akin to writing 10–15 books at once, while also ensuring they all interact perfectly, never contradict each other, and perform tasks for you in real-time. The challenge is compounded by the need for syntactical precision and operational semantics.

@awscloud.bsky.social Somehow I doubt this is the real #AWS but what the hell let's try this

How do we get this fixed please?

Can't get into the console since I can't get past this

OK - I give up -- how the hell am I supposed to get in now?

Looks like it's a signed #S3 link that is failing due to an #SSL issue
