I am new to this instance. I want to see what it is all about. Especially this huge character limit. How does it work applied to Federating?

I am a follower of Jesus, and I like to do some programming.

So I wanted to see what free (libre) software had available for graphing calculators:
duckduckgo.com/?q=open+source+
Hint: look for Microsoft in the results.

I am saying this since I am working on some code now and was making it poorly. Trying to make things "just work" mostly ends up with bad code.

Don't leave things up to rewrites. Write it well the first time (but at the same time don't be paralysed by trying to make it perfect, just make sure it is easily changed and well documented and tested).

Programming is best done from the ground up. Don't build the UI first!

I see that there are now more Spanish speaking members of QOTO.

web.archive.org is adding more restrictions. I can't save a URL without JavaScript anymore...

I will stop distro hopping the day I have tried every single distro.

Programming with Python and JavaScript has worn on me. Semicolons are not optional in PHP!

I really want to try FreeBSD sometime. I would still be using Gentoo if I could get NodeJS and a couple other programs on it.

Compiling PHP on Void Linux again. Can't they make it easier to use SSL and Mysqli?

I have been thinking about learning more Lisp, but I need to figure out something to work on in particular. I learn best when I am building something. I have been simply tinkering with ELisp in Emacs recently.

So is the dark material theme, and the Masto blue theme
