"Programming in the Twenty-First Century" is a blog that revolved around programming, creativity and inspiration. Even though it stopped updating in 2017, its 200+ articles certainly provide food for thought and an interesting perspective on information technology.

Intel LunarLake gonna introduce angstrom-level fabrication to x86 which is going to provide ARM-like levels of battery life and thermals. 2025. Can't wait. Looking forward to a Thinkpad that runs like an Apple M1 SoC. It'll be a decade or more yet before the PRC comes in with a RISC revolution to the consumer PC market, so this will be a nice stop-gap. I wonder what AMD is cooking up in this department? I know they recently decided to embrace hybrid core architecture to their future chips in the same way that Intel has power v. efficiency cores. #CPUs #computers #x86

My GPU blew a capacitor, most likely due to this house being consistently 90+ degrees all week because the legal roommate refused to deal with the a/c again, and it ignited a fire in my box.

I am limited to my laptop where I don't do any of my work and don't have any of my data (files/programs) on it either.

I can't afford to do anything about it.

I don't know how much more I can take.

GPUs need to stop getting exponentially more powerful using far more power than they need and start using less. There are probably more efficient ways for them to work, even if they don't have as much performance as a burned 4090.

#lotd #classics #fun #computers #web

I guess it is time to update the #introduction.

Hi, I am Imdat Celeste. Nice to meet you all.

I am a veteran software engineer who works as a freelancer from their home.
I *love* modernizing ancient software by carefully, slowly rewriting while it is still operating - without disruptions.

Currently I have two wonderful, awesome, really amazing clients between whom I split my time roughly about 50:50.

For the first one, I am the "Primus inter pares" in a team rewriting a 20-yo C++ & JS-based system in modern nodeJS + Typescript. My main job there is not to write code (it seems), but review PRs, review code, give coding guidelines, merge PRs, and make sure everything my team needs is there: test servers, development server, on-premise Gitlab, on-premise Mattermost, a good/respectful/lovely atmosphere, a lot of fun, and what else we need to deliver an awesome product. The team is amazing, the atmosphere is full of respect and love; I will stay with this team as long as I can.

For the second client, I am rewriting a 15+ year old system (Java, Java/Swift/Vue1.x-FE; rpc-like crap-API) using go(BE), gRPC (API) and dart/flutter (FE).
Here I am the core developer for the new client and the new back-end. The back-end is, for now, a proxy/a wrapper around the existing one. Behind that wrapper, two wonderful co-workers are modernizing & optimizing the Java-BE. This team here is equally as lovely as one can ever hope for; and yes, I will stay with this team as long as I can as well.

Oh, and BTW: people in both teams are nearly 100% remote.

I am married to a wonderful, an absolutely amazing person who is so full of love that she sometimes struggles with the universe (or with humanity). And I am a proud father (yes, "father"*) of a woman with a brilliant Beautiful Mind and a heart as big as the universe (who also happens to have Mastery of Words™️).

I love learning new things from complete strangers. The stranger the new knowledge the more fascinating it is for me.

I have a #FragMyBrain (autistic, ocd, nd) so be ready for detailed explanations, where each word is carefully chosen & positioned in the sentence, but still some missing - when you ask me something.

I quickly fall in love with brilliant people with language mastery skills - Mastery of Words™️.

You can always shitpost with me & talk garbage - as long as it is done intelligently, with wit & humor, and respect.

The fastest way to land on my block list is not to make a mistake, but to repeatedly make the same stupid mistake again and again and insist on it being right or being racists, queer-/transphobic, ableist, disrespectful, white supremecist, etc., etc. - you know what I mean. There is always enough space in the "Dungeon of Blocked Accounts".

I will post about anything that my #ActuallyAutistic brain will come up with: politics (CW'ed), #Trans topics, #Musings, #Computers, #Flutter, #Languages, #GoodMorningAgatha, #Cats, #CatsOfMastodon, #Dogs, #Animals in general, #Beauty, #Love, #TransJoy, #TransPride, ... you see: there is no limit!

I will add CW and mark as sensitive whenever I think so. If I forget once, please inform me and I'll correct it as fast as I can. I don't discuss whether something needs CW/sensitive marker or not, I just accept it.

I wear my feelings on my skin, i.e. what you read and see is who I really am, there is no IRL Imdat Celeste and a different, Fediverse Imdat Celeste: you will see a lot of 🫂,💜,😍,🥰,🥹,😳... and more. If you feel it is intruding, please let me know.

I come over differently, but I am also insecure: so, I will add a lot of emojis - just to be sure.

Also, please don't expect a "normal person" here: I am completely, utterly, hopelessly an un-normal person.

Lastly, my posts may start with one specific topic but during the text itself it may just become something completely different - "Train of Thought".

Again, nice to meet you - I am always looking for more new friends...
---
*: I am a trans non-binary person. When I came out to her, my daughter asked me how she should call me from then on and since it is an honor to be her father, that, yeah, I am and will always be that.

I have a technical question and there are lots of tech people here so I hope someone can help me.

I have a Dell laptop computer (it's a gaming laptop; I'm not a gamer, but they're powerful and fast with strong graphics so that's what I got). I use it for all work stuff, etc.

Weirdly, the keyboard just stopped working. It won't accept any typing. (1/3)

Good morning. 🍒🍒🍒

I screwed up yesterday. I remembered that I hadn't installed the drivers for my new motherboard yet, so I got the USB stick that came with the motherboard and installed them. When I initially started the install there were three drivers that were unchecked so I checked them. Now I'm having trouble with Topez Denoise AI. I thought I would remember those three drivers, but as usual ... not so much. I'll figure it out, but it would have been less painful if I used a little more caution.

In 1986, #YKK Global (famous Japanese zipper+ maker) created their own PC system: FACE16. I've been trying to find more info on this system online, but to no avail.

I've found photos from one Japanese blog, with no replies from the blog owner. I've also gotten information back from YKK Global, but it was relatively generic ("standard parts... office use")...

I appreciate any info on this, thanks!

Good morning. 🕊🕊🕊

I didn't see the pigeons yesterday; my efforts may have prevailed. I'll see if they come back in a couple days. Then I'll start putting out bid seed again. It looks like persistence pays off. Now, at night there is something eating all the suet. I'm guessing squirrels. I probably need to move that shepherds hook away from the trees and fence.

I started gathering parts for a new PC. I received the case and PSU. Next will me a motherboard and processor. But I haven't decided on the motherboard. The processor will be an Core i7 12 core (8p & 4e), I think ... just because.

#German is my main language for this account, thought there might be the one or the other #English post as well.

I also have a #Blog on https://blog.sigma-star.io/ which I mainly use for longer posts about technical topics.

(For those who know me from my old instance: Because the old servers are shutting down I needed to find a new home. I hope comfy.social is it. 😄)

I look forward to getting to know you all!

I have received the tiny Japanese netbook! Shipping was surprisingly fast, the netbook actually arrived before the replacement SSD (I'm going to dual boot Windows 10 LTSC and some flavor of Linux). Just running a quick driver backup first, since Nanote doesn't seem to make their drivers available for download.

NetHack is a single-player dungeon exploration game. What sets it apart is that the emphasis is on discovering the detail of the dungeon. Each game presents a different landscape: there is an unlimited number of variations of the dungeon and its denizens to be discovered by the player.

Time for an updated intro post.
Hi, I'm Aaron,
I've lived in #NewEngland my whole life. I like #Running #Marathon s and some times #Biking. I try to build some stuff with wood, #woodworking. I like #Computers. I'm a troubleshooter by nature and career. I work in SAAS/DB software performance. I like to keep busy, it's my happy place, I drink #coffee and #cook.
I nearly forgot, I love #AudioBooks
