they're called paramedics because it's actually two medics in a trench coat

@pho4cexa you are too sweet buddy. youre one if my programming heroes with the super cool creative stuff youve made, like your ssh doorbell!!!

@technomancy LOL that is funny

@technomancy i've heard it's pretty hard to package somthing for debian, or maybe just tedious? lool

@technomancy fuckkkk that would be sick, i assume there are still like super core minimal functions written in the "parent" language to kick things off? or not even that??

@technomancy oh shit is this what self hosted is????

definitions work!! i admit i had to heavily go the lispex route. been studying it's code for like 2 weeks and finally see why it is how it is, but i handle environments way shittier because it's funner to do it my own way

oh oh and i fixed my repl now! nice the eval returns a tuple, which contains the function and the environment, which i pass to the next recursion of the repl as an arg to support definitons in the reply :D

now i kinda wanna see if i can get like... definition a standard library implemented in the language itself, instead of elixir. maybe i'll reduce the amount of "core" functions written in elixir so i can write them in the lisp im making

@nasser latest spec states that dynamic websites should not exceed 512mb of ram of client-side processing

@technomancy wait i dont think we have gdpr in canada nevermind lol. i realyl should try to find a cookie banner popup remover thing tho

@technomancy @dozens thats wild, i could see like memory hackers being able to fuck around and make objects call methods they werent designed to run then if the methods arent technically associated with the objects, just the object classes or some shit

@technomancy @dozens oh right woops uh i just realized what i said might not make sense ( too lazy to check what i said again lol), i keep forgetting you make a class with methods and then make instances of that class by making objects of that class.

just never knew that the methods actually resolve to the class and not the object itself when doing the lookup! makes sense tho, because that would be a lot of extra duplicates

@technomancy @dozens i honestly couldnt figure out ruby without tripping over myself several times. an example was like ... how the fuck do you get a length of an array in ruby, and then it clicked after struggling and realizing that everything is an object so i need to call a method from things, them my brain started to wander, wondering how many things store methods and how much extra memory and stuff is taken from having duplicate methods and stuff, and you can see where this is going lol

@technomancy @dozens like i assume there are some kind of optimizations or type checking to see if a method can be called from an object and its not all just duplicate stuff stored in a million things. just my brain was trying to think too much with it. i just like being able to see what things return easily and deal with that as data

learning elixir! though not using the official mix tool, just fuckin with a single file lol. my first time using a language that is forcing me to put everything into modules and stuff lol

... okay i should go to bed. this is what happens when i go to the gym too late at night lol

edit: woops forgot to remove that extra trim after finding out that split can do it too

@dozens i really like elixir

gonna start a petition to change all instances of "API" or "reference" in programming documentation to "modules, functions, data types, and shit"

@technomancy ahhh yeah gotcha! yeah i get what youre say, if the bluesky infrastructure goes kaput, then the index is gone and no one knows who is who or can connect or whatever haha

@technomancy ugh that does suck. that decentralization thing with the single point as an index kind of sounds like a lot of those peer to peer projects that have a single DHT bootstrapping node to point hashes to IPs and then use TCP or UDP hole punching to hopefully mitigate some router issues, but i always felt like the whole DHT approach doesnt feel decentralized, even if its just to bootstrap which (1/?)

what's the argument against bluesky again? i remember a while ago in part of their terms or some agreement that they use all messages/posts to train AI or something?
