Me: I should continue that reasonably straightforward coding

Brain (wearing a ridiculous hat): Or, and bare with me for a second here, or you could create a spreadsheet to tease out a formula that decides the exact point in which it's worth creating an index map in go when trying to determine whether all items in slice A are contained within slice B

Me: But I've got a...

Brain: Shhhhhpreadsheet

30 minutes later (spongebob background)

Me: Ok so brute force requires less work until slice 1 has 5 items and slice 2 has 9 or 10 and then the benefits increase linearly

Brain: Haven't you got work to do?

For my 8th sketch of Mathober2025 (curated by @fractalkitty) coded in #LiveCodeLab, OctoVsHepta takes the prompt of “Octagonal/Heptagonal” and showcases side by side, a figure that has 8 sides to it and another that has 7 and how they slightly differ.

#Poetry

Octagonal with slightly more
Heptagonal with slightly less
Similar in the creation process
But differences can be seen as the time soars

Protecting your mental health can be hard, but an often overlooked contributor is exercise…

Not only does exercise help you physically, but it improves your mental wellbeing, too.

Make time for physical activity each day, even if it's only for 10 minutes.
Do something physical when taking a break from work.
Encourage a friend or colleague to join in with you.

After adding real function to the main menu or Start menu on my blog a couple of days ago, I continued updateing the design yesterday evening. I added status bars for the windows to improve nostalgic aesthetics and functionality at the same time.

Fun fact: the menu was implemented without JS purely with HTML + CSS.

I also overcame the Android & Safari sizing annoyances by using dynamic viewport height (dvh) instead of viewport height (vh) in the CSS.

As coding is more akin to a Creative Art than a Science, I have written my code as an homage to Jackson Pollock.

Ooh, on the subject of music I just found an lovely old playlist I made called "Whisky Tasting Tunes" which is now accompanying my strong and noble intentions to get some work done

For my 7th sketch of Mathober2025(curated by @fractalkitty)coded in #TixyLand, NotationalRotation takes the 7th prompt: Notation and uses the Tixyland notation to overlay dots to make the image you see

#Poetry

Rotation of Dots
Notations makes the Dots Move Across
As the pixels halt to a stop
To where they shall be place
In this Space

Two brothers guard the path ahead. One is a programmer, the other knows nothing about programming. To pass, you have to find out which is which.

You can ask one question.

You cannot ask about computers, programming, or employment.

What do you ask?

You've heard of Google Jules by now, I'd assume? It's an AI #coding agent. And it's also now this month's CTRL+ALT+CREATE Live event "Coding Copilot" sponsor!

Use Jules now: https://jules.google/

Yesterday, #Google expanded the tool's feature set with a command-line interface and public API. You'll want it when you join us for the community #vibecoding" experience in-person at the #AWS Skills Center in #Seattle, #WA on October 16th at 4pm!

Excited to share my passion for teaching about the Arduino!

I've put together a GitHub repo with code, lesson plans, and reflections to help learners get hands-on: https://github.com/Vaughan-Peter/Arduino-Learning

Whether you're a beginner or looking to teach, there’s something here for you!

Alright, it's about time I had a place on the web to call my own again website. Time to get #coding...

Dear, my paper entered finally on production. I created a podcast episode based on he paper, it is possible to understand the paper core ideias without actually having to read it.

Can you believe that we have research papers and action plans for a "Hypothetical Zombie Apocalypse".

But we have negligible research papers and no concrete action plans for fighting an evil AGI?

Oooargh god. Every time I need something for low blood pressure, #LinkedIn keeps on given. Verbatim quote on #AI and #Coding

"I use AI for coding/data/etc stuff loads but I don't pay more than ~$20/month for any single thing.

I do think that soon, I might be able to offload easier tasks to a locally hosted LLM though. E.g. dump stuff like "make the getters / setters", "tidy the code", "use a different API method". And then save the complex stuff for a more expensive layer."
