#i’ve been using javascript it is difficult

[itsmybirthdaythough]

Helllooooo everyone. Dirk strider Moodboard part ???? Because I found more fuel. I’ve been super into coding lately and after understanding how code works, dirk’s mannerisms and tendencies are a lot easier to empathize with. Not the whole “controlling my friend’s lives so they live the most ideally to my standards” but in the sense of constant micromanagement. I understand that living and growing up almost completely alone will cause hyper independency, but being so involved with code and programming tends to invoke perfectionism within somebody. If the most minute details result in a complete project failure, then extreme attention to detail is a needed feature. Rambles and words, this guy is so neat.

How is RPGmaker compared to Unity? Would you recommend it?

I think its difficult to compare RPGMaker to a lot of other game engines. Unity is pretty open ended in what you can make but you gotta know programming, whereas RPGMaker is kinda hard coded to make a very specific type of game very easily and without programming knowledge — the game in question being extremely generic retro JRPGs. If you wanna make something that extends beyond that you are gonna have to mess around a lot with plugins which alter and augment the preexisting structure the engine has in place.

The crazy thing is, RPGMaker (at least MV) is lacking MANY features that it by all means should have. My game doesn’t have a lot of mechanics and was designed around scope in a lot of ways, yet I am legitimately using 70 or so plugins that other people made to make it feel good. Some of those plugins’ functions include -Adding name plates over the characters’ text boxes -Making it so sprites don’t flash in and out when switching -Allowing for ANY kind of complexity in character animations -Giving you any sort of camera control -Hiding combat related UI in the menus. All of this being shit the engine SHOULD support by all means but for whatever reason it just doesn’t

I think if you’re someone who knows a lot about programming, the engine is probably gonna feel kinda bad and itd probably just be easier and less frustrating to build a lot of functionality from the ground up in an engine like Unity, GameMaker, or Godot. If you lack some experience and feel pretty confident that your game can reasonably fit within what the engine is capable of then RPGMaker is probably a good choice. And personally despite the lack of features being frustrating at times, I find myself having a lot of fun with the goofy wraparound method of problem solving you have to use and have found myself making some really cool creative decisions by working within the engine’s limits

It definitely helps a lot to know programming fundamentals either way (I’m not great but I have some experience with Java and C# and I feel like it’s been very helpful with managing project structure) so that’s something I’d recommend looking into either way if you’re not too acquainted

And I’ve mentioned it but again. Since RPGMaker is so limited you definitely DEFINITELY want to plan your project very heavily around scope especially if you don’t have much confidence that you can really delve into JavaScript programming. For example I wouldn’t recommend planning for complex UI - you will fuckin hate yourself for that. And if you’re adding combat you’re gonna wanna be super realistic about it. What I did to plan around scope was play ~10 different RPGMaker games sorta like what I wanted like to be before I started getting too many concrete ideas about what my game would look like so I could get a pretty solid idea of what was doable and mold my plans around that

Also I wanna point out - most tedious, large scope thing about my game is by far the character animations. Once I figured out just how itd work it wasn’t too bad but is still a bit annoying - but know I worked in a very very wraparound way that is way way way more involved than most — or hell, ANY RPGMaker games I’ve seen. It’s doable, can be really worth it if you’re willing to put in the time and effort, and is something I’d be happy to explain if anyone was interested. BUT i feel the need to make it clear that complex animation is very much not at all a baseline functionality of the engine since it might be easy to assume otherwise with how much it’s used in my own game

Apologies if that was long but I love talking about this stuff, and if anyone is interested I am always happy to talk about and answer any questions about my process especially with RPGMaker in mind :D

Exciting news. I’ve delivered the second project successfully 🙌🏻.

I’m very happy. It has been hard. At first, I thought I would be easier than the previous project as I had learnt a lot in the first project about routes, decorators, paths, etc. Oh my God, I was wrong.

This time the project was split in backend and frontend, what makes sense, for sure. But I’m not an expert in frontend so to start I was struggling to send the data properly.

Unfortunately they didn’t explain well the project and I hadn’t full information of how the webpage I had to built worked. Often, when you have to do this kind of projects where you have to complete some functionalities they do a brief demo of the final solution so you can make up your mind and see how it should work in the end. That wasn’t the case this time.

It just made it more difficult to follow. They recommend start doing the backend at the beginning and test it in the terminal using CURL.

Well, following that instruction I did it has I was said. But when I tried to join it with the frontend, for nobody surprise, it didn’t work.

There were bugs to fix in the frontend before it started to work. That was annoying because that wasn’t part of the course and required an experienced person to help.

In the end, I could implement everything, do the needed fixes in the original code and push it to GitHub successfully.

But there was another part to do as part of the course. It was very interesting for me as it was something I heard a lot and I’ve never could apply it in my job. This is nothing but test your code by coding.

I always test my code, of course. But I do it by testing the final result and document it in somewhere: jira, excel, any specific file… but never using a code to test. I usually write the septs I follow and also the result wether it is the expected or not.

That blew my mind. It is very useful! I really liked it even though I got some unexpected errors in the meantime that I needed to solve before doing the proper test and check the result.

To sum up my experience in this second project:

Positive things:

- I tested my code by coding. I liked this way of working a lot.

- I customised, with some mentor help, the VSCode properly to run the tests and debug my code.

- I installed a theme for the terminal that helps me a lot to read the errors and everything inside.

- I applied my previous learning with databases, Flask and Python.

- I learnt how to identify when an error is in the frontend or in the backend.

- I used a little bit of JavaScript to fix the frontend bugs.

Not that positive things:

- I felt stressed and powerless a lot during the project. The course content wasn’t aligned with what they requested in the final checklist. This bad feeling was bigger as I really enjoyed the videos and explanations. Before starting I felt well prepared to start coding and in the end that wasn’t true.

- The effort was bigger than expected. It took a lot of hours to finish and deliver the project.

- I faced issues when uploading the repo to GitHub. In this case, it as totally my fault because I did it wrong from the beginning when I clone the repo.

Well, three more projects left!

Actually, I have to start the third project this week. I already finished watching the videos and I guess I’m ready to start coding. Let’s see how it goes this time. I’ll back here to share my conclusions.

Saturday Morning Coffee

Good morning from Charlottesville, Virginia! ☕️

I’m still really enjoying the project I’m on at WillowTree and I hope we’re able to extend it further down the road.

I’ve been thinking about a way to fix my completely broken layout of Stream for Mac table view cells. For some reason the same layout I used on iOS isn’t working on macOS? Are the layout engines that different between UIKit and AppKit? No idea. But I do hope my new idea fixes it once and for all.

Then I need to get back to adding async await functionality to my feed adding code. This whole time it’s been synchronous because you really can’t mess with the UI during the initial get of the site data. When you select the feed you’d like to add everything becomes asynchronous, just like feed updating is.

This little change is the fire step in moving all of Stream’s asynchronous code to async await. I still need a much deeper understanding of how it works and why I need it. The code isn’t broken as is today but if Apple requires using async await at some point in the future, it will break.

Hey, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, amirite? 😁

The truth is that Donald Trump undermined faith in our elections in his false bid to retain the presidency. He sparked an insurrection intended to overthrow our government and keep himself in power. No president in our history has done worse.

It’s extremely difficult to write about Donald Trump as an equal to Joe Biden. Trump is a narcissist, rapist, twice impeached, criminal former President with desire to be a forever Dictator of the United States of America. He wants to end democracy as we know it. He’s only in it for his own gratification, to be cruel, and as a means to enrich himself.

Joe Biden is a leader who believes in helping people and he supports the Constitution. He’s been an effective leader.

Look, no President is perfect. President Biden is no exception to that rule. I’m a liberal and don’t agree with everything he’s done, but he has done great work for the people of the United States.

Vote for democracy. Vote for Joe Biden for President.

This post will explain the technology behind Project Tapestry and how we tested it as a prototype. We’ll keep this discussion at a fairly basic level: if you’re a web or app developer, you’ll have no problems following along.

I just love everything Iconfactory does. Yes, I’m a software developer, yes Tapestry will somewhat compete with Stream, but I don’t care. I love this idea and I’m a little green with envy I didn’t think about it. 😃

This is the way to open up your app and make it more easily extensible internally in the process. There are lots and lots of great JavaScript developers out there.

I backed it as soon as I heard about it and I’m really looking forward to the final product.

I’d like a hosted, centralized web app that is akin to early-era Blogger.com that lets me save new posts into a system, then it’s up to me where the output goes.

By blog began life as a Blogger blog. I published this site from 2001 to 2010. It generated static HTML and would FTP the generated HTML to my site. I loved it and it was extremely easy to move my site when I changed hosting providers. I just zipped up the directory and expanded it in its new home, updated Blogger to point to the new location, and went back to posting.

Today I publish this site using Micro.blog. It also generates static HTML but it’s all hosted on Micro.blog’s hardware. If I ever leave it’ll be easy to move.

I have been considering a move to a completely hand written blog. 😃

Of course once I started thinking about doing that I thought up some tools I’d like to write to help me out. 😂

The shift, Apple wrote in a blog post, was technical: The dominant podcasting platform had begun switching off automatic downloads for users who haven’t listened to five episodes of a show in the last two weeks.

This is a piece from January but it is interesting. Like blogging I believe it’s safe to say the idea behind Podcasting was never about monetizing, it was about freedom of expression. But, in the end, you can’t and shouldn’t, stop folks from monetizing it. That’s part of the freedom.

Reliance on a single centralized source of podcasts is a mistake. Apple has been so gracious in sharing their feed directory with the world for nothing it’s difficult to call it a mistake. The fact that it exists isn’t a mistake. The fact that so many podcasting apps and podcasters rely on it is.

There are now many podcast networks, from Indie to BigCo, and some apps and networks have their own directories but Apple is still the dominant player.

Oh, not to mention they have their own player that ships with their OS’es. That’s where the hit to podcast download numbers originated. Apple’s podcasting backend and their distribution front end in the form of the Podcasts app.

A magnitude-4.8 earthquake sent tremors from Philadelphia to Boston and jolted buildings in New York City. An apparent aftershock was widely felt around 6 p.m.

It’s strange to hear about a quake on the east coast. It was a topic of conversation at work yesterday in our weather Slack channel, of all places.

East coasters aren’t used to this. Here they’re accustomed to cold and snow and hurricanes, not earthquakes.

Amazon is to end the AI-powered “Just Walk Out” checkout option in its Amazon Fresh stores. It turns out that “AI” means “Actually, Indians” and it isn’t working out.

So now we know what AI actually means! What a complete failing on the part of Amazon. It would’ve been so much better to have failed using AI than to move the jobs of cashiers to India where a bunch of overworked, underpaid, Indians are doing the same job.

Just hire some real people to manage the store.

I still hear about folks struggling to understand how to sign up for Mastodon. The Join Mastodon site should just present the user with a signup form and host everyone on mastodon.social or a new instance and let folks decide what to do next.

What is a programming language?

Computers communicate in electrical signals, with an on signal representing 1 and an off representing 0. To communicate human to computer, we use programming languages that contain simple commands that are converted to machine language- 1’s and 0’s. This machine language is also known as binary.

How many programming languages are there?

There is no set answer to this question, as anybody can create a programming language. There are between several hundred and several thousand today. The languages we will discuss on this blog are widely known. Such languages include- C/C++, Java, Python, and different variations of HTML.

Why do we need programming languages?

Programming languages each have their own strengths and weaknesses. To properly communicate with computers, we use a multitude of languages. In a simplified example, a webpage can be written in HTML and later given a more professional look with CSS. After perfecting the “look” of a page, we can use JavaScript to provide animation and more dynamic features. Each language has its unique purpose, and they can work together to create amazing products. It’s uncommon for a project to contain only one language; therefore, it is important to grasp the concepts of programming languages, so that we can work with multiple languages in the same project.

How are they created?

Programming languages are essentially sets of instructions meant to be translated into machine language. They contain many features that make this possible. These tools include the language and its commands, along with an interpreter, or compiler. Languages are difficult to craft and maintain. This means that languages are constantly evolving. It is important to recognize that programming is a skill that requires constant learning and discovery.

Which one should I learn?

Before learning a language, you should consider what your purpose is for learning. If you are wanting to start with an easy language, there are plenty of beginner languages, or even languages that just read easily. I’ve always found that Python and Java are easy to pick up for the first time or go back to if it’s been a while. If you are looking to learn programming so you can go into industry several languages form the backbone of industrial software such as the variations of C including C# (pronounced See Sharp), C++ (See Plus Plus), and many more. When determining the language, you want to learn, you should do some research on why the language was created, whether it is maintained, and the difficulty level of implementing said language. For the first few posts on this page, I will be going over C++ as it is frequently used in industry. C++ can be an intimidating language, but like most languages it uses the same base commands and techniques.

How to programmatically fill input elements built with React?

I'm tasked with crawling website built with React. I'm trying to fill in input fields and submitting the form using javascript injects to the page (either selenium or webview in mobile). This works like a charm on every other site + technology but React seems to be a real pain.

so here is a sample code

var email = document.getElementById( 'email' );email.value = '[email protected]';

I the value changes on the DOM input element, but the React does not trigger the change event.

I've been trying plethora of different ways to get the React to update the state.

var event = new Event('change', { bubbles: true });email.dispatchEvent( event );

no avail

var event = new Event('input', { bubbles: true });email.dispatchEvent( event );

not working

email.onChange( event );

not working

I cannot believe interacting with React has been made so difficult. I would greatly appreciate any help.

Thank you

Jeremy Hunt: Everyone will have to pay more tax

This video can not be played

To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

By Laura Kuenssberg & Kate Whannel

BBC News

Everyone will have to pay more tax under plans due to be announced on Thursday, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt says.

Offering a message few ministers would risk saying out loud, Mr Hunt told the BBC: “I’ve been explicit that taxes are going to go up.”

He confirmed he would be giving details about further help for those struggling with energy bills, but warned there had to be constraints on help.

Labour accused the Conservatives of making a “total mess” of the economy.

Shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves said Mr Hunt was choosing to tax working people, while doing “little to close tax loopholes which mean some of the wealthiest don’t pay their fair share”.

Economists question ‘black hole’ in UK finances

Six ways the Autumn Statement could affect you

Where will the ‘eye-watering’ cuts be?

Mr Hunt was speaking to the BBC just days before he is due to deliver his tax and spending plans in Parliament as part of the Autumn Statement.

The BBC has been told the chancellor is set to announce spending cuts of about £35bn and plans to raise £20bn in tax.

It comes as the UK faces major economic challenges, with soaring living costs and a warning from the Bank of England that the country is facing its longest recession since records began.

It also follows the mini-budget of former Prime Minister Liz Truss and her then chancellor, Kwasi Kwarteng, which led to market turmoil and a jump in government borrowing costs. Many of those policies have since been reversed by Mr Hunt.

Independent forecasts are understood to have identified a gap of around £55bn in the public finances – although some economists have questioned the size of the ‘black hole’.

Speaking to the BBC, Mr Hunt acknowledged his plans would “disappoint people” – but he promised to protect the “most vulnerable”.

“We have a plan to see us through choppy waters… we will make the recession we are in as short and shallow as possible.”

The BBC has been told Mr Hunt is planning to freeze tax thresholds – the levels of income at which people begin to pay more tax – until 2028.

While he did not confirm these plans when appearing on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, the chancellor said: “I think I’ve been completely explicit that taxes are going to go up, and that’s a very difficult thing for me to do because I came into politics to do the exact opposite.”

As ever at this stage in the cycle, the occupants of the Treasury are coy about giving any specifics.

It is also abundantly clear that public services are in for a hard time – with no guarantee there’ll be extra cash to help them to cope with the costs of inflation.

Some Conservatives MPs have warned against increasing taxes, with former party leader Iain Duncan Smith telling Sky News it could lead to a “deeper” recession.

Addressing the concerns of his colleagues, Mr Hunt said the previous leadership had tried that approach, “in other words a plan that doesn’t show how, in the long run, we can afford it”.

“We have tried that, we saw it didn’t work.”

With the Conservatives significantly behind in the polls, Mr Hunt and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak face a challenge in getting public backing for their proposals.

The chancellor also made clear that the support people were receiving for energy bills would come to an end for many.

The energy price guarantee had been due to last for two years, but after taking over from Mr Kwarteng, Mr Hunt announced it would expire in April.

Speaking to the BBC, he said he would set out what further support would be given to those struggling on Thursday.

However, he emphasised that future help had to be “done on a sustainable basis” and there would have to be “some constraints”.

Asked if he was ditching the energy plan set out by former prime minister Boris Johnson, the chancellor said he admired Mr Johnson’s “big visions” but added there were elements of “cakeism” – a reference to the phrase: “Have your cake and eat it.”

He said he wanted to “deliver the exciting things he outlined” but that actions had to be credible and affordable.

What’s happening to my energy bill?

Why is the UK struggling more than other countries?

What is the windfall tax on oil and gas companies?

During his interview, Mr Hunt also accepted that Brexit had had costs for the economy too.

Wrapped up in suggestions that there were lots of opportunities still to come, it is a rare acknowledgement from a Conservative politician.

He said the coronavirus pandemic had prevented the UK from taking advantage of opportunities open to it after leaving the European Union.

Labour’s Rachel Reeves said she recognised there would be “constraints” on what the government could do, partly because of “mistakes the government has made”.

However she added: “Just because you have to make difficult decisions it doesn’t mean you have to make the same decisions.”

She said Labour had “no plans” to raise income tax or national insurance and would focus on closing “loopholes” in the tax system.

The Liberal Democrat’s Treasury spokesperson Sarah Olney said: “Hardworking families look set to be clobbered with yet more unfair tax hikes because the Conservative party crashed the economy.”

In addition, the Mono project has made tremendous strides in its Moonlight project, which intends to bring Silverlight to Linux. Microsoft is promising to add support for the Opera browser on Windows and Mac. Currently, two operating systems and three browsers are supported. In contrast, the Silverlight plug-in enables an identical development model regardless of user operating system and browser. Usually, there are two ways that a development project addresses this: support only a small subset of Web browsers or increase the number of quality assurance personnel. As a developer creates matrices of browser versions and operating systems, the number of testbeds needed becomes enormous.

I've been using Silverlight since I taught a course for internal Microsoft developers, shortly before the software's public unveiling as "WPF/E." I've written several books about Microsoft-based software development, such as Pragmatic ADO.Net ( Addison-Wesley Professional, 2002), I co-wrote four Microsoft developer certification books, and I have invested quite a bit of time in examining the promises that the company is making for this "Flash killer." It's always hard to be critical of software that isn't fully released yet - for one thing, it's impossible to point out serious bugs since they may be addressed by the time you fire up the development tool - but the following reflects my professional and technical judgment based on several months of hands-on experience.

The Silverlight plug-in currently works with Internet Explorer and Firefox Web browsers on Windows and with Firefox and Safari on Mac OS X.

Returning to college as an adult is more than just academic learning: it’s re-learning how to learn, too.

My first experience with Python was learning it through an inaccessible, apathetic teacher, who was so far removed from his own students that he was no longer effectively teaching a beginner course in a way new programmers could understand. By the time the semester ended, only 7 out of 30 students passed, and I was the only woman out of those 7.

The reality is that no matter where you go (especially in higher education), not everyone will teach you in a way you understand. It’s up to you to translate the material for yourself. This is extremely difficult if you’re returning to school as an adult after taking a long time off (for me, it was about 7 years). The issue is no longer just about trying to learn new academic material, but learning how to learn again, too. I realized that after being out of school for so long, I’d even forgotten how to study. Not only did I have to process new and difficult material as a returning student, I had to restructure my life and once again, learn how to learn.

If you’ve been out of school for a while and you’re considering furthering your education, pursuing a career in tech, or making any sort of advancement that involves learning for long stretches of time, accept the fact that what worked for you in high school might not work for you anymore, and that’s okay. For example, the memorization technique that you were previously taught to be most effective in retaining information is outdated. Repetition alone is not very effective. In order for information to be stored in long-term memory, it must be relatable, assigned a meaning, or cued in some way for later retrieval.

My own educational journey as an adult didn’t start with my first programming course like I originally thought it would, it started with learning how to learn again. For me, this involved having to research my ADHD and how it impairs my cognitive function, exploring different methods of studying through trial and error, forcing myself to develop discipline to look at code at least once a day, adapting to a new life that revolves around learning, and finally: 

Researching how to be a better learner, so that I could ask better questions, to be a better student.

At some point during my search I discovered cognitive learning, which encompasses different active-engagement styles of learning. The #1 method which stood out to me the most was metacognition. It essentially means thinking about a method of thinking. “This cognitive learning type involves us consciously deciding which learning strategy we plan to use when we engage in a learning experience” (Source). I believe this is the most important style to become a better learner, because in order to make that choice, we have to immerse ourselves in exploring all methods first. When we learn about learning, we equip ourselves with techniques that allows us to more easily retain and understand academic material. It grants us more power and ownership of our future.

Intellectual development also requires having the ability to introspect. Some level of self-awareness equates to having a better understanding of who we are and what’s important to us. Examining our own mental and emotional processes allows us to make better decisions that align with what makes us happy and fulfilled in life. Without doing this, we are unable to recognize our strengths, limitations, rationalize our actions, or make sensible decisions about life centered around learning.

Within the upcoming week(s), I will be providing links in the navigation bar to helpful resources, videos, tutorials, Reddit threads, and useful tips on web development and programming. I will discuss topics such as why I chose to begin my journey with community college and not a bootcamp, and how I decided on what specific languages to study. As a small life update, I’ve decided to switch from learning Python to JavaScript in order to focus more on mastering front-end development.

I’ve mentioned in the past that I play Path of Exile. Not too frequently, every other league or so. I don’t go out of my way to make character builds, my goal is to get to the end and beat the bad guy. There was a thing that happened recently that got me thinking about the different reasons people enjoy the game.

Something I’ve been aware of that I’ve never really thought about is how degenerate this game’s design is. I’d like to go into more detail but then this post would be ten times longer than I intend for it to be. My main point is that the devs refuse to compromise on their vision of the game as a spiritual successor to Diablo 2, which is admirable, but the growth of the game’s identity is now stunted. This is reflected in both the players and the developers actions:

- Players are desensitized to the point where anything that is not clicking on monsters and then clicking on loot is rejected by the hardcore player base. The game’s campaign is nothing more than a footnote that a player must rush through when making a new character. Any pretense or context is dropped, with players getting incredibly angry if the devs ever take away something that they used.

- The developers will go out of their way to make an experience worse if it does not coincide with their vision. Their biggest stance is related to the accessibility of trading between players. The developers have identified that trading should be possible, but that it should also be difficult. In the specific instance linked above, rather than find a solution to prevent players from joining an unofficial third-party discord server, they’ve made the items being traded worse in the hopes that this would discourage people from trading at all.

Again, the desire to keep the game pure is admirable. The original creators of Diablo were keeping the generic tabletop RPG in mind when they made the game. However, your DND game is usually at a table with five of your friends, not with hundreds of thousands of players, with people streaming it as a livelihood and others trying to sell in-game items for cash.

The developers of Path of Exile are like... Fallen paladins, or something. I‘m positive there’s a trope for it, but the name escapes me. It’s where your belief becomes too strong that it harms those around you.

...Anyway. The reason I’m talking about this is that in the heat of the moment, a few people have said that Path of Exile’s crafting system is more akin to gambling, or Cookie Clicker. This isn’t untrue, as what you normally do is use specific items on your equipment that will randomize its stats in different ways. It is very much a lottery, one that you are forced to take part in if you don’t want to participate in trading.

That particular comment though, about Path of Exile being comparable to Cookie Clicker... Would it even be possible to make something like that? A game that takes Path of Exile’s “crafting” system, and fuses it with Cookie Clicker’s “gameplay”? I’m really curious to see how that would work, and if it’d be possible to recreate that feeling of crafting without the waste of time required to get there. I could write up a small prototype in JavaScript when I’ve got a moment.

I could set it in Waterworks’ universe, as well. It might be an opportunity to expand a little bit on the world.

Introduction Post

Is this title too formal? Ah well.

Hello, I’m WolfKat! A werewolf in some fantasy existence, and thusly what I use to represent myself online. I like to keep my human self private.

My main areas of skill are in drawing, web design, and some story writing on the side. More on those in another post in the future.

I’m 26 years old as of February 2021 (year of this post). Just existing.

I used to be active here on another account mainly for Gravity Falls stuff back in est. 2015 until maybe 2018. My activity died down and then some drastic, traumatizing events in 2019 really burned me out. I moved onto Twitter for a while and decided I would leave Tumblr for good?

Look how that turned out. Here I am again! But I’m starting fresh on this new account.

And during 2020, I uuhh, had more self-reflection during the isolation with more daring self-confrontations than I have in a while. For things I would question about myself, but wouldn’t feel “allowed” to accept due to my upbringing and the painful subconscious programming that can still induce sick feelings to my stomach and moments of existential dread for my fate after death.

Born and raised in Georgia. Surrounded by baptists, fundies, evangelicals, you name ‘em. Connect the dots from there!

Anyway, to summarize my new self-discoveries... I don’t fit with gender binary stuff. So I’m experimenting with just... Being a neutral “they.” Though I do find comfort in presenting more conventionally masculine.

Having to be considered “female” in my past always felt like a costume; an uncomfortable social obligation so that navigating the world would be smooth when I otherwise struggled in it. In the end, my particular long-term obsession with secret and alternate identities growing up has caught up with me - ‘cause now I have to hide these aspects of myself from people irl! Very fun. My life here on the internet is pretty different to what I have to present of myself offline around locals and family.

It’s still difficult to embrace this and it’s been only since December 2020 through January 2021 that I slowly discussed this with close friends, and then opened up about it briefly and subtly online. I don’t like putting spotlight on this extra personal stuff about myself, so even writing this much without specifics has me a nervous wreck.

Moving on now!

I’ll have a page for interaction boundaries as I want to set those clearly and firmly on my social media and any online presence I have.

And likewise to how I ran my previous blogs, there will be a page for my common, general tags I’ll use to organize posts on here!

There will also be another blog I’m working on, which will be for my business side of things. It’ll be some time before it’s up and running since I want to make a custom theme for it. That’ll be a fun little personal project for me to do!

On that note, I’ve made some nice progress with [vanilla] JavaScript in the past 2 years. I’m still not super fancy with it yet, but I’m steadily getting there I hope? Only the front-end stuff too. I tried some back-end last month ‘cause I felt somewhat ready for NodeJS... It fried my brain beyond just setting up a localhost.

But back on the front-end stuff, I currently make assets and such using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for OBS’s browser sources! Two of them are free, and the others I sell on my Ko-Fi shop. I accept tips on Ko-Fi too if you wanna drop any instead of buying from the shop. I’ll appreciate any of that!

There’s quite a bit more I have planned, including the occasional project where I can spare time to make it free. They’ll usually be free out of legal obligation... Using IP’s and all, having them be fan works. Can’t risk selling those, y’know?

On the side of drawing, I’ve started using Clip Studio Paint this year... And it’s real darn fun! A generous close friend of mine gifted the base program to me as a belated birthday gift, since it had gone on sale in March IIRC! Been trying to learn how to animate on it (it’s not the fancy edition with extra animation tools) and it can get a little confusing still. But I’m sorta getting it.

For my birthday, I also got gift money to get my portable tablet! I desperately needed that because my unknown physical problems have made it uncomfortable to draw at the desk tablet I’ve had for a few years already. Apparently sitting up straight and/or leaning forward for a little while makes my heart skip beats and/or fully go into tachycardias after ever since having my ablation? Yeah. Gets scary.

So, with the portable tablet I can finally enjoy drawing again. And comfortably in bed... Where I can lean back and relax my body a lot better! Even more recently I got a metal flexible arm that holds my tablet up higher so it’s better for my neck too. I’m doing my best to make things more ergonomic with the very scarce money I earn at all. I have no real income or financial living at this time.

I think that’s all I can do for catching people up to speed with me for anyone who’s known me here before. And for any newcomers, you’ve gotten a first glimpse of me as well! There’s still more, but I think this is enough of a read as is.

My other online presences(?) will also soon be part of my navigation. Stay tuned! Can’t wait to share some art here too and whatever else of my interest!

Are you still into the hardware engineering shit? I've been liking the shop posts, but I'm kinda missing the electronics.

this is a tough question for me to answer. maybe it might help if you knew what drew me to electronics in the first place

i am only interested in very complicated and difficult things. i am interested in mastering them, alone, avoiding outside curricula and learning structures. i can’t learn that way. i can only learn if i teach myself. i can only learn auto-didactically.

i feel like ive achieved this to the degree i wanted w/r/t electronics. there is simply not much more i am interested in learning about them. of course, i also do this kind of work for a living, which doesn’t exactly leave me with much passion to post about them after the work day.

i have, and have had a growing disillusionment with this kind of work. it is a young man’s game. my ideas and opinions on this field have long since been denied by the industry at a whole. people don’t want free, open source software. they don’t want any new operating systems or even new ideas in operating systems. they want javascript and web browsers

i’m 27. writing code doesn’t cut it for me anymore. it is not the kind of building and creating i was meant to do. at the end of the day there is nothing to hold. there is little chance that work will persist for more than a year in a useful fashion if it at all

machining is much better. it is extremely complicated and extremely difficult. the stakes are real: it’s expensive, it’s superfluously dangerous if done incorrectly, it is not intuitive, there is extremely little information available online, you must know and interact with tenured tradesman to learn the secrets

i can make, and i mean truly make things. things of insanely precise specifications. things made out of steel. things that will persist in their geometry and function forever. certainly longer than i will persist in my geometry

doing machining work, i deal with machinists, who are an incredible class of people. doing electronics/software work i deal with nerds, whom i do not wish to deal with really

i feel better about myself when my hands are caked in grime and i’m soaked in sweat. when i’ve used half a tube of superglue to mend the various cuts ive sustained over the work day. those are the days i know i’ve accomplished something tangible

the long and short of it is that i am getting older and electronics no longer provide strong enough satisfactions to satiate my (very stupid) need to work with complicated shit

Hello World

I’m llydia, I’m a programmer from the United Kingdom. I mostly code in PHP and JS but I also make things in C#, sometimes Lua. I make music for fun and have released several records, I’m also apart of a rap group called Lil Cones. In 2020, I started working with “Joshua Z” on a project called ‘Audiocover’. This project is still being worked upon, and I’m hoping this blog will prove a means to reflect upon my creation and to further improve my skills in both programming and the understanding of programming. I’m also going to use this place just to get things off of my mind and essentially rant about concepts, so please, do not take anything I say on this blog to be gospel. I suspect most of it will be complete shit.

I wanted to start off by talking a bit about PHP and how it was my first real language in the web world and how in recent times I’ve felt the need to look to other languages to get things done. I guess in the past having your websites do neat and interesting things wasn’t the top priority and instead making the website functional was. In recent times, websites are becoming more experience orientated. With Audiocover, the entire premise of the product is the experience which can be had with music and integrating that with a promotional angle. 

The idea of experience based content for promotional purposes isn’t new, Spotify canvas is often talked about internally in the label’s group chat. In fact, the entire concept of the internet and advertising being entertaining isn’t new and was one of its major draws to the internet in the 90s. One thing I often think back to are the times when the internet used to be heavily customisable, creating a unique experience of identity in the rapidly growing cyberspace was a core feature of many websites at the time. Agencies would often use this to promote all sorts of products, I for one remember back to my 50 cent branded myspace profile. I think todays example of this would be Fortnite skins, but those “aren’t cool” and only work if you play Fortnite, other video game developers have not been so accepting to the idea of Thanos in their games. I don’t see anything bad in it, as long as its done right.

But to get back to programming. In its essence, PHP is a very static language. There is no easy way to create dynamic user experiences with out using JavaScript as a sort of intermediate layer. When using JavaScript as an intermediate layer it feels like using your only using the very basic parts of JavaScript and while yes you can include packages in the footer or header, its certainly not how modern solutions would have you do it and good luck maintaining this beyond a couple of programmers. 

Like a lot of PHP programmers I make my pages templated and have a huge JavaScript file which adds the modern functionality to my website I’m lacking. In my own projects I use this JavaScript file to do form validation or display response messages, it acts as the dynamic layer to my static foundation. All of this is just awful to work with, it makes developing modern interactive websites difficult as logic is confined to a singular file or thrown in the PHP template and needs to be leashed to several packages resembling a life support machine to even work. I recently watched a node programmer add image carrousels among other things using NPM and easily integrate this effortlessly using React. I thought about how long that would have took me in PHP probably having to resort to using an external JavaScript package adding to the spaghetti that’s already present in my header tags.

So screw you PHP, I’m done. After I finish Audiocover and Easyautoflower I’m going to switch to JavaScript and get acquainted. Luckily all of my struggles in PHP has made me efficient in JavaScript and all I should need to do is learn the changes in the language. I curse PHP for making me think in a what feels like destructive and accepting manner but it has helped solidify my understanding in both programming concepts and more importantly the time that equates with difficulty. To sum it up, packages rock.

I've been using CodePen to work out problems and find solutions rather than it affecting my project directly. Once I develop it into something I can use in the project, I will simply refactor it in.

This CodePen is for the transitions between different visual styles, specifically hovering and clicking on elements to trigger the change. The clicking was significantly difficult, but I managed to make it work with some JavaScript.

hi there! i’m a high schooler and i’m seriously considering majoring in computer science when the time comes. do you think you could maybe talk a little bit about what it’s like studying comp sci? if you can. i hope you’re having a great day

hope you’re having a great day too!

What my first year of studying computer science was like

obligatory preface that courses differ between universities and colleges. i study in australia.

The biggest challenge I faced per se going into comp sci was how nothing I did at school prepared me for it. The kind of content I’ve learnt wasn’t similiar to school and the assignments have been very different. No analytical essays and scientific reports for me (there has been essays and reports tho). In my school IT class I learnt basic HTML and CSS which was the only programming knowledge I went into comp sci with. (Id also gotten pretty far on khan academy’s JavaScript course in like year ten but I’ve forgotten all of that now lol).

I have four units a semester and have completed my first year (of 3, although I’m taking less units this year so I’ll finish in 3.5 years).

What I actually did in my first year:

Semester 1 (pre-major picking, two of these were for the other major option)

Learnt general computer hardware and how it functions. The assignment was using a raspberry pi to do something that used hardware (the pi), software (basic code) and the internet (I used twitter). My project is on Twitter at SunsetIFB102

Group project app design stages. Like drawing the layouts, getting feedback, then digital sketches then semi fancy looking sketches (not comp sci major)

Python! I really liked this. Taught the basics of python and in general programming. It was kind of intimidating how many people had coded before so I had to focus on ignoring them and learning for myself. Also really salty I was 1% off a high distinction for the whole unit AGH

Databases and SQL. This would’ve been a useful unit if the lecturer was, how do I put this kindly, good at his job. (Not comp sci major, although definitely use databases later on)

Semester two (all comp sci major)

C# , basics of object oriented programming principles. Which is a fancy way of saying it taught how you should write your code so it’s laid out effectively.

C, how to program microprocessors. Basically how to program hardware machines. C is mostly used for machines like ATMs, a fridge perhaps, probably a roomba and other single purpose kind of things. Also from this I can program arduinos and read arduino code easier since arduino code is a C/C++ hybrid. (This and the previous unit had high fail rates and were honestly Tough)

Information security (apart of network security minor) This unit talked about processes of protecting information in organisations and on a single person level. Basics of cryptography was discussed and hashes and how ways information is kept secure when transferring between objects (like over the internet)

Computation mathematics (apart of intelligent systems minor). This was a weird unit to me and was mostly math majors. It taught all these different equations which allow you to make approximations. Honestly confused how it’s used for computers but we learnt MATLAB and it’s a pre requisite for an intro to robotics unit I’m taking this year :)

So yeah, that’s an account of what I actually studied. Reading over it it seems way more impressive than it probably was. Computer science isn’t easy (well, unless you want to scrape a pass each time) but it isn’t horribly difficult. It’s how different it is to high school work that can trip you up. I can’t make aesthetic studyblr notes on paper because its all on my computer and can’t turn it off when studying because I need it.

My assignments are typically big coding projects, exams (multiple choice if a coding unit) and essays if it deals with theory (like info sec did).

This coming semester I’m learning Java and GUI’s (graphical user interfaces), JavaScript and HTML and whatever else for web applications, and discrete maths which seems to be for notation used later on... it looks very strange.

Hope this helps! If you have any more questions feel free to DM me!

Also if anyone else wants to add their experiences, feel free to reblog with your tips.
