technical skill is cool and all but it isn’t the part of the thing that makes the art the art

ART IS JUST MAKING MARKS ON AN OBJECT IN A WAY THAT EVOKES A RESPONSE

yes it’s still open

« Conditions at Guantánamo Are Cruel and Inhuman, U.N. Investigation Finds » honestly not sure we needed a U.N. investigation to tell us that

i mean i do :—

const getDataViewBuffer =
Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(
DataView.prototype,
"buffer",
).get;

// later…

const buffer = Reflect.apply(
getDataViewBuffer,
myDataView,
[],
);

—: and that’s not even a weird edge case really that’s just a normal feature of the language

but i feel like most developers would look at that, say “it is not obvious to me what is happening here”, and move on rather than try learning

the other problem is that while i try not to make my code incomprehensible to people who are willing to learn about niche uses for edge cases in the ecmascript spec, it definitely is incomprehensible to the sort of person who has no interest in ever learning stuff like that

no shade against applications programming or ui/ux dev but most of my nonprofessional work is extremely not that and i don’t have anyone i can say “hey check out this datatype implementation isn’t it cool” to rn

i really need a hangout which is very into lisps and data witchery and not just one which is into tangible user interfaces lmao

in case you were wondering they ran another opinion article defending biological sex as the basis for womens sports

me: 20 words of weird niche tech jargon

@Satsuma: mhm yes i understand this entirely and you are very correct

although if a progressive jew asked ME for a mastodon server recommendation i'd probably just say weirder.earth lol

there was a reddit thread like “is there a Judaism mastodon server?” and i was like yes??? but apparently the answer was no???

anyway babka.social has since come into existence

wait masto.jews.international has been down for years and i just never heard about it?

when i first started using the MPL i figured the copyleft aspects really weren’t that restrictive because ecmascript is generally a trivial language to extend and patch from a different source file

but with the kinds of code i write these days that is much less the case

i’m not complaining lol

as far as i can tell these functions have exactly the same effect in all cases lmao

………are DataView::setInt16 and DataView::setUint16 exactly the same???

i also think it is sage, coolors.co

coolors.co thinks that #⁠ACAB69 is “sage”
