Greetings Programs! Bit of a late start tonight, but we'll of course be working on @pidgin 3.0 Experimental 4 tonight! So come on by!!
Today's Poll...
Which were the earliest programming languages used in the field of AI?
lc is a line-based RPN calculator written in #C that takes input either from the command line or standard input. It supports floating point arithmetics and aims to be portable and standards compliant across POSIX(-like) systems.
It's in a *very* early stage of development, so there be dragons. And if you find it oddly similar to a very old project of mine (scalc), well it is on purpose: I wanted to get back into C with something I knew how to handle, but with many lessons learned from that old project.
Greetings Programs!!
We're back at it tonight working on @pidgin 3.0 Experimental 4!! Come on by!!
Sharing again for other plugin developers who want a robust system for version-gating UE C++ code. Nicer than the built-in macros, works around limitations in UHT, and even comes with a TObjectPtr converter for bridging the UE4 gap!

What do OpenBSD people use for static analysis of C code?
Valgrind was available for a while but it seems to have been removed now
Apparently there is something called the "Clang Static Analyzer", but I'm not sure how to actually use it (it seems you have to compile your program with specific Clang flags?)
I know there are countless other bugs in my code, but its nice to see "no leaks detected" when I do some stupid shit with void pointers :)

#Vibecoding a #Perl interface to a #C library - Part 2

Conclusions:
> #AI requires substantial subject matter expertise to deliver
> Constant vigilance for hallucinations, omissions and biases is required!
> They will not make a God out of a novice
Last 2 days #coding #antibrowser #gui #apps in agnostic shell wrapping for any language (22 so far including #ada #cobol and #sed (yes sed)) shown scenario 74 apps on a single machine, slower than spreading out the tuples server,client,test driver on 3 different machines. Still effin fast because no #browsers, no windows manager no fekking bloated libraries, nothing but #C and #sockets no fonts either! don't need em
Ich bin mal gespannt, wann der erste C-Minister überhaupt, den Hut nimmt.
Angesichts des letzten Schusses für die #Demokratie ist dieses Signal längst überfällig.
Die #C-Parteien wissen um die Halbwertszeit der Wählererinnerung. #Wählerdemenz
Ich hoffe, die Opposition -die mit den Tassen- trägt dem Rechnung und denkt mal nicht an ihre #staatspolitischeVerantwortung sondern an die fehlende Welche der C-Parteien.
Well, that's it. Project complete!

Is there anyone in the room with knowledge about #ESP32 microcontrollers?
I am playing with a #Waveshare development board that has an #AMOLED and a touchscreen, and it says it has built-in #SH8601 display driver and #FT3168 capacitive touch chip, using #QSPI and #I2C communication respectively.
https://www.waveshare.com/product/arduino/boards-kits/esp32-s3-touch-amoled-1.8.htm
It directly works in #Arduino with #C, but I am trying to make it work with #MicroPython.
Before I spend effort trying to compile it with #LVGL, I want to know if I could print a "Hello World" to the screen as is, and while my mind tells me that I need a driver, the sentence "built-in display driver using QSPI" makes me think that I could eventually use the display without code drivers, but I don't know how.
I'd love to see an example, if it's possible, or to be pointed to any resources that I can read in this regard. I am complete newbie.
Re-posts are appreciated.
Thank in advance
One thing I want from #GitHub.
Greetings Programs!! We're back at it starting a brand new cycle towards @pidgin 3.0 Experimental 4!! When are the experimental versions over? Once we've stabilized a whole lot more API and that doesn't happen without putting in the work which is what we're doing tonight! Come on by!!
C++ compilers annoy me a great deal. I use both gcc and clang, also cppcheck, and there are still times where obvious errors sail right on through. "this method is never implemented", "maybe this variable is used, maybe it's not, depends who you ask" just this morning. Or my old favourite, partial byte enums. Are they allowed? Definitely maybe.
And that's before we get into stupid fixes for stupid but deliberate omissions, like reflection.
When your C code has the worst design ever... My goodness, I *am* rusty... (No Rust pun intended there )
I wanna have a minimally working thing before pushing this reprise of my old scalc project to a public repo.
Just to give you an idea of how much software GCC 14's default of -Werror=implicit-function-declaration breaks, here are two pkgsrc bulk build results:
GCC 13.3.0: 24835/28450
GCC 14.3.0: 2589/28450
https://reports.pkgci.org/SmartOS/upstream/trunk/20250630.2248/meta/report.html
https://reports.pkgci.org/SmartOS/upstream/trunk/20250701.2248/meta/report.html
I also had to fix up a bunch of things before the build would even start.
This could take a while. And then the fun starts all over again with GCC 15's changes...
