When the project I'm working on becomes overwhelming, appears chaotic and I feel doomed to fail, I like to remind myself that there is real value in taking action.

Getting started, even if it just a tiny step, has amazing effects!

I am starting to research accordions. I am really surprised about how many different types there are. I think I want a chromatic button accordion because it’s versatile and the notes are closer together than a piano accordion.

I’m still confused about how many bass buttons I need and a little shocked by the cost, but I would like to purchase and start learning by the end of 2023 or in 2024.

Hey, everyone who follows me who is hacking on somethigna round ActivityPub/fediverse — please reply here and share a link to your app/GitHub/Glitch! Would love to show off all the creativity that's happening right now. (And please boost so your friends can share their projects too.)

Today’s linguistic success was hearing back from a French accordion maker, who replied to a query in French, saying "Votre français est impeccable, pas de problème." Zut alors! 🤣 French Higher in 1989! I know it’s in their interests to make potential customers happy, but I’ll still take that as a win! I’m considering getting a compact chromatic button accordion as major new challenge. Still considering. #Languages #FrenchLanguage #Accordion #ButtonAccordion #ChromaticButtonAccordion #Squeezebox

Hey fellow Hams! My Dad has set a goal of us making (code) contact sometime in the next year. We’re on opposite sides of the US. I have no HF gear or experience to speak of this century besides some WSPR fun. Can anyone guide me to an affordable route to an HF rig that won’t break the bank, the backyard, and my patience but might work to reach contacts that far on good days? #hamradio

mh+, new job 

I just got and accepted an offer to become a junior embedded software engineer! It took family, mentors at my company, people on Twitter when I belonged there and also many kind people on Mastodon.

@PHolder, I specifically was able to draw on the unit testing discussion and my attempts at C programming from advent of code during our interview. I can’t thank you enough!

Are folks really pressuring independent artists, authors, etc., not to promote their work here?

Do you also picket your local independent cafe and mom and pop stores? What happens if you succeed in shutting them down? That’s right, you end up with a McDonald’s in their place.

Please learn to separate capitalists from folks trying to survive under capitalism. Independent people trying to pay their rent isn’t advertising, it’s existing. What Coca-Cola does is advertising.

I'm starting to get the hang of this and love it! It feels like early internet. BBS and chat rooms. No ads or algorithms.

Jan 6 was a coup

Thoughts about RasPi and the fediverse, long 

@Fullnihilism This stuff is mostly happening in the #fediblock hashtag. But if an instance is blocked, the mod team's toots about the actions they've taken don't federate, so the other mods/admins don't know.

I think there needs to be some kind of out-of-band way for admins/mods to talk, whether that's Matrix or a private instance everyone has alts on or something like that. But it seems clear that admins/mods need to talk, even if their instances are mutually blocked.

Here's the pi situation: pinafore.social/statuses/10947

almost made enough latkes (if only one person wants to eat)

@derickflorian Unit testing is very worthwhile. Even if you don't use a formal testing framework in C, you can still code methods just for testing your code and use a #define to change the flow of your code to invoke your test functionality.

#define UNITTEST
#ifdef UNITTEST
void assertEqual(...)
{
...
}

main(..) /* unit test main */
{
assertEqual(10,foo());
...

#else

main(...) /* real main */
{
...

I'm Matt, pretty new here 👋 Who should I follow?

I'm into #science #communication and open source #EDA, #software #tools to design hardware like #PCB, #FPGA and #ASIC.

I'll mostly be posting about that as it's my full time job too! 👍

I also like making #electronic #music 🎵🎵 without computers 😅
