Calling C from #clojure and having fun doing it? That's what @andersmurphy.bsky.social will get on stage for us to experience: using coffi and JDK 22 FFI to unlock SQLite features that JDBC wrappers can only *dream* of. clojuredays.org#Unlocking%20... #dcd26
CSS only scroll-driven geometric orbits

ppl should stop using ai-generated diagrams. you know i’m not anti-ai but they’re just not good at this yet!
the problem is that diagrams have a very specific purpose: they’re meant to compress understanding into few key bits. ai vomits out poor approximations that aren’t conceptually compressed
Join us live on YouTube for the first Datastar Online Meetup this coming Thursday, and hear about http-nu from @ndyg.ca, Stario from Adam Bobowski, Rocket from @zangster.bsky.social , and Stellar CSS from @data-star.dev.
Mark your calendars and see you there!

Brotli*
Be prepared to see huskification of humans that delegate all thinking and decision making to AI chat bots and act basically as meat extension of AI auto complete loops
Also explain the technological regression past M32. Praise be to the Omnissiah.
You know it's going to be a good day as dev when you get a message like this. This is what real engineering looks like:
With #brotli over SSE, the window size is everything. If your window is thrashing (too small), you can use 100%+ more CPU.
This also applies to compression. So you can use brotli 3 rather than 4 (recommend normally) have almost the same compression and be 40-50% faster.
We had @andersmurphy.bsky.social back on the pod to discuss his One Billion Checkboxes and other demos.

Love finding random checkbox art
Have a script to generate jpeg from the database. It's pretty basic. But most chunks are empty. At some point I'm planning to use it for a minimap/or zoom.
immersive arts in action love when people get creative like this!
You can try out the working example. Remember, it's multi-player, so be nice!

#datastar is art
Having a blast making some final demos for my upcoming #CraftCMS talk at Dot All Lisbon 🇵🇹, using Datastar.
#CSS

We chat these and much more over on the @workingdraft.de show

Adaptive row rendering virtual scroll in #datastar. The red number is the total number of rows rendered including offsets/tolerance.
just found out the xbox version of morrowind has different loading screens with advice text and some of these have very funny shit post energy out of context
`select count(*)` for the win.
Today I learnt some QR scanners (google lens) struggle/fail with inverted QR codes and generally a lot of scanners scan non inverted QR codes faster.
Also CSS is awesome:
backdrop-filter: blur(5px)
If you've read this far. There's a bug in the qr code conversion function. 0.01 internet points if you can find it. Also congratulations you can read lisp.🤣

Here's the code to convert the QR Codes to SVG.
Had a load of fun at Maker Gonna Make Dundee. Ended up making a location share QR code (after spending a morning messing with quadkeys).
The codes are generated on the server, converted to SVG and then morphed in to DOM via SSE (using #Datastar). They compress nicely too.
