you never realize how many times you swallow on a day until it hurts a lot every time you do it

working on yet another static site generator: Dynamo
https://git.pixie.town/f0x/dynamo

because all the others don't do what I want :>
it'll do:

- get MDX from directory structure, put as static index.html in the right build folder
- do themeing with react
- postcss for css transformations
- livereload for dev

it already does livereloading, postcss transformations and basic MDX parsing, all in one evening :D

I've just set up tiny-lr + chokidar for livereloading my webapp. Now the question remains, who livereloads the livereloader

smh what point does an airlock have if you can open both doors at the same time

ah, I guess mother does have access to microphones in each room, just had to keep that hidden for the plot

gee, who could've thought two other kids would've 'dissapeared'.
Obviously the robot is still testing how best to raise children. Daughter has the number 3 and was raised alone....

I wonder how much better movies would be if they'd visit a hackerspace with the script and let them critique all the tech stuff involved. (And similar with other disciplines, but from my pov tech always seems to be portrayed with the least realism)

pff, watching I Am Mother, but oof is that bunker poorly designed...
- robot turns off during power outage, even though it walks around with a battery?
- no way to give possibly contaminated people medical support without just allowing them inside your place

also the robot seems to be about as observant as a human, why isnt it hooked up to lots of cameras around the bunker, opening logs of airlock/different rooms, other sensors

but it'll be replaced by documentaries I guess...

i want to redesign my website (f.0x52.eu) but im on a train, tired, and with little battery left in my thinkpad :<

and now it's time for zZz

I did a bigass writeup on my #tamafoxi!
https://pixie.garden/~/Thingies/tamafoxi

I have learned from my misstake and am now typing it in vscode first, routinely saving as I always do

im a fucking idiot. started typing a blog about the tamafoxi, hit ctrl+r and all progress gone

The RLE string looks something like this: "70b5a3b"
the decoding function then goes through the string, character by character. If it's a number, it needs to increment it's count, if it sees a letter, it will expand it to current count times that letter. I can either directly draw current count pixels, or store the result as an expanded string with lots of a's and b's, and draw it after the decode.

The RLE implementation I found online keeps the count as a string like this:
count = ''
if current is a number:
count += current number (concatinate as a string)
else:
parse count as an integer

I did a more efficient implementation with just arithmetic, because strings are expensive.
if current is a number:
count = count*10 + current number

as seen from the speedtest, this is quite a bit faster

So I did some speedtests for my image formats.
Raw PNG as bytestrings is definitely the fastest by far, but takes a lot of space.
Then there's various ways of decoding my run-length-encoded strings, by keeping the character counter as an integer or as a string. (more explanation in replied toot with cw)
