So Make pre-4.4 (released 2020, a whole 6y ago), e.g. the Make on macOS (3.8.1 on mine), interprets `#` inside a `$(shell)` as the start of a comment. That is a chunk of my life I'm never getting back

That shebang grep might bite me at some point, but it seems adequate enough for now

Wheeeee, macOS support in #Samoyed! https://github.com/doismellburning/samoyed/pull/426

feat: Support macOS by doismellburning · Pull Request #426 · doismellburning/samoyed

This involved disabling the Morse generation test because morse2ascii is Linux only, but I can accept that. Renamed the morse_test.go file along the way to isolate it slightly, and so future morse ...

Pleasantly surprised by how #Samoyed built successfully on arm64 out of the box with no modification needed

Debugging performance issues feels so much nicer nowadays with perf and https://www.speedscope.app/ compared to my experience fiddling with callgrind ~20y ago! #Samoyed

Rewatching @hynek's keynote from @PyConUK this year. (Not yet on his Talks page, I noted.)

Can't miss the chance to (re)?post this slide:

Still loads to do - it’s still using lots of C data types, I had to disable Hamlib integration temporarily because of all the unions, and I need to sort packaging etc - but it’s happily there, beaconing and talking to a Dire Wolf instance, and that’s a nice milestone

And #Samoyed now has no C left in its src! https://github.com/doismellburning/samoyed

Now to sort packaging for distribution and wider testing, start ripping out the cgo, and start making some actual improvements!

It turns out it’s much easier to solder on banana plugs when you remember your soldering iron goes up to 350C

One day I will be able to run `go vet` on this codebase and get an answer in < 1 minute

Added some very basic tests around Dire Wolf's AIS code before I try to port it to Go - some fun stuf fin there!
