Well, finally got through all the dependencies I needed to do a little refactoring to document what I want to do with my fun project. Not sure if "writing documentation" is fun by itself.

Project Layout (v4.0.0, 2025-03-15)
https://d.moonfire.us/garden/project-layout/
https://src.mfgames.com/dmoonfire-garden/project-layout

So, the initial version of v4 project layout that explains that last year or so of my development evolution on private projects:

• Expanded philosophies
• Why I switched to Just
• My reasons for using .config/ for configuration files
• High-level use of Nix flakes including my two project setup flakes
• Standard directories on polyglot projects

#artificialIntelligence still can't reasonably(!) replace you (sure, you can be fired due to the #AI hype nonetheless), but AI can destroy the whole industry sector by destroying the trust in honest programmers:

#Laravel 12.x is coming to us on February 24th

Looking forward to it!

Yes! It's so satisfying when you refactor your code after three weeks of experimenting with a new library, and you have some thousand lines of code less but more features and improved stability.
I'm more than happy :D

Another #CodeGolf puzzle for #JavaScript #WebDev people:

I have n functions that type one argument of the same type and return a boolean.

The current usage is:
function a(b) {
return c(b) && d(b)
}

I boiled down a to
a = (b) => [c, d].every(fn => fn(x))

I assume, this can be further boiled down via bind/ #PartialApplication/ #Currying

What do you think?

Today's log for trying to get fiss (my Rust CLI for duplicating some of TaskWarrior's functionality using Forgejo issues) doing something useful. Tonight's goal is to get fiss list showing a list of issues to subscribe forge projects which no regards for filtering.

It's a weekday and I need to figure out how to assemble a weight machine, so hopefully this won't take wrong.

Narrator: Dylan was wrong, of course.

The rest will be unlisted.

One mistake, #Microsoft made by buying #GitHub, is that developers are harder to lie to

When using a #MySQL database, is it possible in one go, when adding a new column to an existing table, to use one default value for existing columns (initial migration, so to speak), but another for every new row going forward (real default)?

Scenario: I want to set the value in pre-existing columns to true, but in all subsequent rows to false by default.

Has someone attempted to build a #CodeReview tool that relies more on #git itself like using git notes and git trailers and such?

Please, please, when talking about runtime stuff, call it #JavaScript, not #TypeScript—String.prototype.toLowerCase() is a JavaScript feature, not a TypeScript feature, so your tutorial "How to change my string to lower case in TypeScript" doesn't make sense

Please, please, when talking about server-side features, call it #NodeJS, not JavaScript—I know, it's also JS, but people WILL get confused, because JavaScript is mostly understood as a totum pro parte for client-side JavaScript

#TypeScript devs: I have the following class, emitting the type error below. How is it that TS isn't able to infer the type of the props correctly and how can I make it?

#TypeScript/ #Vue devs: I have this generic component using defineModel(). Now, I want to make the type conditional:
– if props.multiple, return T[] | undefined
– else, return T | undefined

How would you approach this?

When in doubt if your comment an a #PullRequest/ #MergeRequest/ #CodeReview or the like was substantial enough to be credited via a git trailer (e.g. Co-authored-by), what would you prefer that the other developer would do by default in that case?

Was sind eure "dummen*" ersten Worte beim daily standup meeting, wenn ihr sowas macht?

Dear #openSource maintainers,

when you are not interested in a change—which, of course, is totally fine—please straight out say so instead of discussing it at length for weeks or months, signaling interest with this, until you just say "no". #FOSS volunteers can waste their time better.

Listening to the Met Opera Saturday matinee and coding... you?

I am sure. I would love to disable it, but you deliberately didn't include a "disable" button and then sent all the devs into their Christmas and New Year vacation

#GitHub bot be like: No replies to this issue. Can I close it?

Well, this is because YOUR OWNERS didn't bother to reply yet. Nothing, I can do about this. I hope, you realize that your question comes across rather cynical.

In #TypeScript, is it possible to have a dependent string literal type like this:

type SomeType = `a.${keyof typeof B}.c.${keyof typeof B[d]}` // <-- B[d] is the important part here

Is it somehow possible to have a #TypeScript type like this:

`Model` here would be used both as the actual type and as the types name (as a string), similar to `class-string` in #PHP
