What would Ada think of the rise in Ada Language Popularity?
This Ada Lovelace Day, we are celebrating what has been a positive year for the Ada Programming Language, and we ask ourselves, what would Ada think? Proud? We’d say so.

Contento che sia interessante 🙏@alephoto85 Bellissimo, ma io son sempre alle prese con i primi rudimenti di python.... 😅 ( sto cercando di capire qualcosa di lisp che mi pare simpatico !).
Sono anni luce indietro , ma ho pure trovato un gioco su Steam (The farmer was replaced ) che giocando insegna un linguaggio molto simile a Python !

@andre123 Lisp e Scheme sono una cosa molto brutta per la vita sociale e, a volte, anche al portafoglio 🤣🤣🤣
(però sono fiero dei miei acquisti ammetto)

@andre123 molto carini davvero! Sono fuori produzione ma ogni tanto si trova qualcosa di usato a un prezzo decente (altrimenti vai di ebook).
Comunque il materiale disponibile in rete non manca, tipo:

(magari li conosci già) -

yes, crypto doesn't have a great reputation - but I think this is the type of think it was actually designed for - small transactions, low cost, fast.
But adding a level of difficulty for now.Maybe just start with tracking and self reporting.
Then add the "pool of money" distribution part. Relatively difficult given the global world, and the not so global currency/ banking system.
But someone like #Wise might be able to help with that

@craiglambie42 @pj @cwarzel.bsky.social @Jeremiah
I'd stay away from crypto. have your apps report creator and time/month to your bank and have them manage the pool of money and distribution using an open protocol.

@wjmaggos @pj @cwarzel.bsky.social... Something like @kevin's reader app, that you setup yourself.
Just not sure how to it to track in apps. But maybe a new masto/activity pub reader fork could add this ability where you put your personal tracking server details there. Some api hosted by a federated fedipay server. That you can host yourself, or join other accounts. Same sort of rules as the fediverse.

The Cutest Weather Forecast on E-Ink and ESP32
There’s a famous book that starts: “It is a truth universally acknowledged that a man in possession of a good e-ink display, must be in want of a weather station.” — or something like that, anyway. We’re not English majors. We are, however, major fans of this feline-based e-ink weather display by [Jesse Ward-Bond]. It’s got everything: e-ink, cats, and AI.
The generated image needs a little massaging to look nice on the Spectra6 e-ink display.
AI? Well, it might seem a bit gratuitous for a simple weather display, but [Jesse] wanted something a little more personalized and dynamic than just icons. With that in the design brief, he turned to Google’s Nano Banana API, feeding it the forecast and a description of his cats to automatically generate a cute scene to match the day’s weather.That turned out to not be enough variety for the old monkey brain, so the superiority of silicon — specifically Gemini–was called upon to write unique daily prompts for Nano Banana using a random style from a list presumably generated by TinyLlama running on a C64. Okay, no, [Jesse] wrote the prompt for Gemini himself. It can’t be LLM’s all the way down, after all. Gemini is also picking the foreground, background, and activity the cats will be doing for maximum neophilia.
Aside from the parts that are obviously on Google servers, this is all integrated in [Jesse]’s Home Assistant server. That server stores the generated image until the ESP32 fetches it. He’s using a reTerminal board from SeedStudio that includes an ESP32-S3 and a Spectrum6 coloor e-ink display. That display leaves something to be desired in coloration, so on top of dithering the image to match the palette of the display, he’s also got a bit of color-correction in place to make it really pop.
If you’re interested in replicating this feline forecast, [Jesse] has shared the code on GitHub, but it comes with a warning: cuteness isn’t free. That is to say, the tokens for the API calls to generate these images aren’t free; [Jesse] estimates that when the sign-up bonus is used up, it should cost about fourteen cents a pop at current rates. Worth it? That’s a personal choice. Some might prefer saving their pennies and checking the forecast on something more physical, while others might prefer the retro touch only a CRT can provide.

@wjmaggos @pj @cwarzel.bsky.social.. Think it should be a user thing. Maybe a federated payment server? Or something.
You install your own personal tracker, and rules about how to distribute the funds. Then the funds are sent to the local fedi pay server of the creator.
All controlled by the user. Owned by the user.
Maybe it is a ETH coin that is currency tied, to reduce transaction costs.
That part can come later.
The important thing is personal tracking, via personal data... /

@wjmaggos @pj @cwarzel.bsky.social yes, ghost sort of does it.
I did dive a little into adding mastodon / activity pub to WordPress too, but got caught up with work.
I think a creator protocol is a great idea!
I imagined a subscription model for #foss and #creators where you track who you visit/consume each month. Then reward a % of your subscription to them.
Roadblocks
1. How to manage it?
2. Transaction costs
3. How to track it?This discussion, and being on fedi, makes me... /
