I’ve just deposited some Python code in a public codeberg repo 🚀

The modules are designed to simplify GUI creation with PySide6 (Qt), specifically tailored for handling quantities (with uncertainties). Perfect for anyone working on scientific or engineering applications where precision matters.

🔗 codeberg.org/Cs137/QuanTables
Feel free to explore, fork, and contribute! 🛠️✨

Vibe coding for good: v0 is really good for making data analysis and exploration tools tailored to the data itself.

I have had use cases like this (the Linear import/API thing from the other day too, linked below) and really value it for purpose.

When you’re vibing tooling to achieve something else, especially when you’re throwing the code away afterward, I don’t see a meaningful difference to writing the tooling by hand.

The code not being the point is the crux of it.

MastodonDave W (@dave@basilisk.gallery)This is what I mean when I say vibe coding isn’t always a bad thing. I had a CSV full of Linear tasks, but the Linear importer was losing the parent/child relationships and the project links. So I got a LLM to write me some code to read the CSV, and send it to the Linear API instead. I had a job that needed doing, I didn’t wanna waste time working on something which wasn’t the point, so I got a model to do it. Job done, 15 minutes instead of an hour or two. Code then thrown away. The end.

Oh man, #Undertale. Where do I even begin? If you've somehow never heard of this game before; first off, avoid the fandom until you know what you're getting into. Second, stop reading this, go play Undertale at least once through, then come back so we can gush about this game together.

I, with no room for exaggeration, fucking love this game. I played it ALMOST completely through all three main storylines, sans the final bossfight because spoilers, it's fucking difficult. I played this game blind at the perfect time in my life, and I honestly wish I had recorded or streamed it because I would have loved to share that first experience with you all so goddamn much.

The themes that this game uses in its art direction and score; my god the score! Toby Fox cooked with this OST, and I don't care how cold of a take that is. I still listen to Heartache, Bonetrousle, Ashore, Megalovania, and even His Name, to this day. The entire album is banger after banger!

I legitimately feel like I need to come back to this game as well as Deltarune at some point, if for no other reason than to simply relive the experience. I cannot believe this game is 10 years old already!

Legitimately one of my favorite games, if not just on the N64, then in general as well. It tried to do something different for Mario games, outside of Mario RPG. In fact, it's probably one of the best chances for a sequel we ever got to Mario RPG, all things considered. Still haven't played TTYD yet, maybe someday...

We're back to #CarlSagan, who wasn't just talking about tech when he wrote:

> “We’ve arranged a global civilization in which most crucial elements . . . profoundly depend on science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.”

EM4 - This meeting condemns the Supreme Court ruling defining the term 'woman' with respect to the Equality Act as being based on 'biological sex', which they refer to as a person who was at birth of the female sex', as reductive, trans and intersex-exclusionary and biologically nonsensical. We recognize as doctors that sex and gender are complex and multifaceted aspects of the human condition and attempting to impose a rigid binary has no basis in science or medicine while being actively harmful to transgender and gender diverse people. As such this meeting: 

i. Reiterates the BMA's position on affirming the rights of transgender and non-binary individuals to live their lives with dignity, having their identity respected. 

ii. Reminds the Supreme Court of the existence of intersex people and reaffirms their right to exist in the gender identity that matches their sense of self, regardless of whether this matches any identity assigned to them at birth. 

iii. Condemns scientifically illiterate rulings from the Supreme Court, made without consulting relevant experts and stakeholders, that will cause real-world harm to the trans, non-binary and intersex communities in this country. 

iv. Commits to strive for better access to necessary health services for trans, non-binary and gender-diverse people.

I think I'm playing #BluePrince wrong. I find it compelling, but I'm not addicted in any way, and would have set it aside by now, but for all the allusions to profound revelations awaiting me.

I gave up on #ReturnOfTheObraDinn, too, so maybe it's just the way my brain works. (Or doesn't work, rather.)

Explain your @:

I played #StarCraft as a kid and tried coming up with a "cool" sounding username. Honestly it just kinda stuck and I've been using this practically my entire life at this point.

My biggest regret is retroactively wishing I had the forethought to not pick a character from an existing IP, but what are you gonna do?

I do tend to shorten it to simply UZ here and there, but I've noticed that name is also taken in the professional sphere, so I'm kinda stuck.

Then I started getting good. Needed a unique name to stand out when streaming. My practice partner and I prefixed everything in English with "Tremendo" as a joke.

Oh man, the dated references and sitcom quotes... This little clunkster of a 3D platformer was fun, at least as far as I can remember having fun playing it as a kid. I booted it up randomly as an adult in my steam deck and boy did it just not hold up... Early platforming games, man

Local update, Qt6.9.0 up and running!! Had been fiddling with this for a while, went over the Qt6.8.* releases that went pretty fine, this one had me puzzled because of the haikuplugin errors, with those "patched" time to run tests with it (probably not fully correct with my skills, but hey, it's working!) :👍
