Mastodawn

Thursday, the EU launched a European Digital Infrastructure Consortium for Digital Commons. During this launch, EU & national authorities were *crystal clear* on how large our digital autonomy challenges are in the Trump era. I delivered a keynote in which I outlined how dependent we are technically and culturally on US big tech, and I offered some modest advice: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/keynote-opening-digital-commons-edic-eu/

Keynote opening Digital Commons EDIC: Moving beyond the Digital Uncommons - Bert Hubert's writings

Last Thursday, 11th of December, saw the launch of the new Digital Commons European Digital Infrastructure Consortium. In attendance were delegations from the launching member states (and the observers). Also present were the many forefathers (and mothers) of this initiative. Of particular note, the launch also included demonstrations of LaSuite software from France, as well as the OpenDesk software from Germany. The Dutch government showcased their amalgamated suite MijnBureau, which joins parts of the German and French initiatives.

Reasonably sure Mastodon peeps like libraries and might like a peek at this wowzer I stepped into today.

@erin_catto @vurtun @dotstdy That array size was chosen for perf. Collisions we handled in priority.

Maybe the content was just a bit too complex. But there was no meaningful way to judge it.

The designer did not have feedback, and when I was working on related code, it was not obvious to me either that it was an issue.

I think my bottom line is that often the hard constrains require deep system knowledge. Which you may not have, or are blind to due to your current task.

I started reading the book - Designing Sound by Andy Farnell (2010). It's too early to say anything, I've only read 1/6 of the book, but so far only positive things. The book's rating is really WOW. I was very surprised by some of the facts in the section - Psychoacoustics

This fucking guy

He's one for the ages

Ukrainians are angry at a tone in Western #media lately that #Ukraine is losing

#Disinfo from the usual #socialMedia #troll farms and #plutocrat influenced channels shilling a #narrative for a corrupt #agenda

So what does #Zelensky do?

He goes to the frontline in #Kupiansk and films himself there

While the #West repeats #Kremlin lies that #Russia controls it

😂

Zelensky is something else

Tough, crafty, true

In a world of dipshits

This is not good for the lungs! My lobby boy now lobs poison gas clouds. He also hides around corners, the annoying little bugger 😄 #gamedev #unreal #indiegame

natvis question... I have a global array for string interning purposes (g_names), and I have a natvis that tries to acess that. Works on some sources and not on others. There was some way to make it more specific but my google fails. Any pointers?

A little bit more than 10 years ago, I released whereami.h and whereami.c.

A 2 files C portable library that helps you locate the current executable and/or the current dynamic library on the file system and that works on all the major operating systems.

Useful to make your app portable and load configuration files, assets or plugins relative to where it's currently located.

It's finished, robust, a bit unknown, and still serving me well!
