I'm going to throw some alpha stuff into the release to avoid unnecessary pestering :)

#McCLIM #lisp #sdl2

But is it pixel perfect? yes, yes it is :3

This is an essential read from @pluralistic – well worth your time to understand the points he’s making fully as he’s spot on and the excellent analogies will make it easier for you to discuss the topic with others.

It's janky but visually successful! I've fixed / implemented the COPY-FROM-PIXMAP family of CLIM protocols for my wayland-ffi backend.

I'm now successfully rendering to a FBO texture using the backend itself via WITH-OUTPUT-TO-PIXMAP and then blitting it to the main native EGL buffer. COPY-*-PIXMAP operations are specified to be pixel blitting ops even though most app developers might want to stick to normal texture rendering.

Now to make it more right

Holy crap! In a world of institutional boot lickers, be ACOG.

The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, rather than abandon #DEI and rubber stamp anti-science policies, told the #Trump regime to stick their federal funding where the sun doesn't shine. 🍑

ACOG and AAP are being everything our media and academic leaders are not.

Oh, so after the FOSS Meetup I mentioned earlier, I was traveling in a car with some other participants, and we were going somewhere to eat.

They were all developers, and they happened to start talking about #Rust and how it took upwards of 20 minutes to compile.

As a fan of #CommonLisp …

• a language standardized in the 90s but with a background dating back to the 60s;
• a language which supports compilation of individual functions, and modification of running programs, thereby doing away with the incredibly outdated and flow-killing edit-compile-run workflow (among other unique superpowers mysteriously missing from “modern” and popular languages);

…I had to really struggle to refrain from speaking my mind on the subject of awful DX 🤭

PS: obligatory recommendation to watch @jack ‘s hilarious, energetic, and eye-opening talk, Stop Writing Dead Programs
