Welcome.

Welcome to my Tumblr blog!

I'm interested in exploring my thought-cloud ☁️ about computing here.

I'm also interested in hearing your thoughts about distributed application development, content delivery networks, edge computing, and cloud computing.

I live in Vermont, not far from where I grew up.

The Vampire Aesthetic

Ok so Danny knows two billionaires personally and they really couldn’t be more different. Yet they had one thing in common. A vampire aesthetic. Sam is fully into goth. Spiderwebs, bats, the color black. She enjoys fangs and fake blood and the darkness of her soul. Meanwhile, Vlad is Vlad. If his name wasn’t enough, the dark clothing, pale skin, and flying around with a cape and fangs with coffins in his mansion really sells it.

Danny doesn’t know many rich people so he thinks this might be some kind of trend. (If Paulina is rich, her family likes the chupacabra) So he just thinks that all rich people have some kind of vampire thing going on.

Cue Danny somehow ending in the Wayne household. Maybe he was brought over as a friend of one of the bats, maybe rescued from a field trip/vacation gone wrong, maybe some other situation. But he is there in civilian form with civilian Waynes and Danny just takes a good long look around the inside of the mansion.

“So where’s the vampire aesthetic?

Everyone freezes.

Danny just starts looking around, checking behind paintings and feeling the walls for secret levers. Used to secret passages with Vlad and possibly Sam. The Fentons definitely had them when they were temporarily rich.

“Come on, I know you guys are hiding it.”

Cue the entire batfamily thinking that this is another Tim and that he is fully aware that these people are the batfamily. Danny hangs around the mansion more and the bats just start dropping their disguises and not even bothering to hide stuff around Danny because they assume he already knows. (Possibly even trying to recruit him to be a new bat) Meanwhile, Danny, who does not know these people are batman and his birds, just does not pick up on any of it.

He grew up in a health violation with a giant ballon observatory lab above his head and a portal to the afterlife in his basement. He is a half dead teenager who has tea with the god of time and his godfather is the other parent to his clone child. He’s used to death lazers being scattered across his home and mysterious stains on clothing.

People are weird! He doesn’t judge!

[therian-database]

Hello there!

so, here's the deal:

I, a burnt out autistic highschooler, want to create an app for therians (as a therian myself).

Here's the basic features:

A database full of information on as many animals as possible (that can and will be updated!)

Blank templates for otherkins!

Each user has a profile- public or private- and can add theriotypes and notes about those theriotypes!

A journal feature where you can add pictures, drawings, and notes to a digital journal, similar to a glorified notes app lol- and you can make certain parts of your journal public or private!

Packs!

What are packs?

Have some word soup as an explanation: Basically if you want to create a pack to either make friends or add your friends, you can submit a pack request, where you explain why you want to make a pack and if you have specific people in mind to join, and I'm thinking that I don't want it to be like everyone has their own pack or whatever so that's why it has to be approved and stuff like I don't want too many different packs. Basically it's like a discord server or an amino thingy it's a big group chat and the pack creators can set up virtual events and send out pings like "hey! Join this zoom call if you wanna do some arts and crafts!!" Or smth like that

It's a database and a community!! If you would like to help out, please please please send an ask!! I would love all the support I can get!

P.S.

BE NICE AND DRINK WATER

I'm already about 110% in love with these rough draft character sprites....

these are all unshaded, and will probably be continued to be edited, but I just wanted to share to get feedback! both garak and quark have alternate outfits as well ^^

until i started rooting around in the world data with dfhack i didn't realize that dwarf fortress randomly generates dance forms for each civilization and they can spread via trade and contact. you cannot really engage with this system at all in fortress mode, and adventure mode is still in beta, so this is hilarious to me. it's like the procedurally generated musical instruments. the things that tarn adams chooses to simulate in excruciating detail are really random.

and yet each species still has only one language, the name generation system is patently ridiculous, and the topography is pure perlin noise. this is why dwarf fortress will always have a charm its imitators can never match. it's just completely idiosyncratic in terms of its concerns and aesthetic.

Qodo Raises $40M to Enhance AI-Driven Code Integrity and Developer Efficiency

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/qodo-raises-40m-to-enhance-ai-driven-code-integrity-and-developer-efficiency/

Qodo Raises $40M to Enhance AI-Driven Code Integrity and Developer Efficiency

In a significant step forward for AI-driven software development, Qodo (formerly CodiumAI) recently secured $40 million in a Series A funding round led by Susa Ventures and Square Peg, with additional contributions from Firestreak Ventures and ICON Continuity Fund.

It enables developers to not only generate code but also test, review, and document it in a streamlined manner, enhancing code reliability and reducing the chance of bugs or failures.

The platform integrates seamlessly into popular integrated development environments (IDEs) like Visual Studio and JetBrains, and it supports a wide range of git platforms, including GitHub, GitLab, and BitBucket. Its advanced features include context-aware code suggestions, test generation, and a pull request assistant that flags potential issues, allowing developers to confidently accelerate their workflows.

Qodo’s innovative approach has already been embraced by more than 1 million developers globally. Notable clients include Fortune 100 companies, such as Intel and MercadoLibre, which have incorporated Qodo’s platform to enhance their development pipelines.

Unparalleled Developer Support and Enterprise Adoption

The platform has already garnered over 700,000 installs and boasts strong reviews from developers and tech leaders. Qodo’s toolset supports a wide range of programming languages, including Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, C++, and Go, making it versatile enough for diverse enterprise environments. Moreover, its enterprise solution, launched earlier this year, provides organizations with advanced code analysis and best practices databases, allowing for highly customized and context-specific code generation.

One of the standout features of Qodo’s platform is its use of Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) technology, which allows the system to generate code that aligns with the specific best practices of each organization. This level of customization is key for enterprises managing large and complex codebases. The platform’s ability to iteratively test and fix code through automated processes ensures robust code quality, ultimately reducing downtime and enhancing developer productivity.

In fact, Qodo has reported a 25% time savings for development tasks, with the platform catching an average of five bugs per developer each month. Additionally, over 90% of developers using the platform have successfully completed all assigned tasks, showcasing the efficiency and reliability of the tool.

Enterprise Growth and Market Recognition

Qodo’s rapid growth is evident in its enterprise adoption. Since launching its enterprise offering in March 2024, the company has exceeded $1 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) within just three months. The solution’s advanced features and focus on code integrity have made it a valuable asset for organizations that prioritize robust, error-free code.

Industry recognition has also followed. In 2024, Gartner named Qodo a Cool Vendor in AI-Augmented Development and Testing for Software Engineering. Additionally, Qodo was selected for AWS’s Generative AI Accelerator, further cementing its status as a leader in AI-driven code development.

A Vision for the Future of AI-Powered Software Development

Qodo’s success lies in its commitment to combining artificial intelligence with human expertise. As CEO and co-founder Itamar Friedman explained, “Success won’t come from rushing to automate everything. Instead, we need to carefully integrate AI tools to enhance human expertise, focusing on quality and adaptability rather than just speed.” This philosophy underpins the company’s focus on generating code with integrity, ensuring that AI-driven development is reliable, safe, and aligned with organizational standards.

The increasing role of AI agents in software creation necessitates a balance between automation and human oversight. Qodo’s quality-first approach ensures that AI-generated code is reliable and secure, addressing concerns about potential bugs and system vulnerabilities. This focus on code integrity is critical as enterprises continue to adopt AI-driven development practices.

Looking Ahead

With a strong user base, enterprise adoption, and significant financial backing, Qodo is well-positioned to drive the future of AI-assisted software development. The company’s platform continues to evolve, offering developers and enterprises alike the tools they need to build, test, and deploy high-quality code faster and more confidently.

As the software development industry continues to embrace AI, Qodo’s commitment to quality and efficiency is set to become an essential part of the evolving tech landscape. By enabling developers to move quickly without sacrificing reliability, Qodo is not just changing how code is written—it’s shaping the future of software development.

How to Dress your Character

A Guide to Dress Codes

When attending an event, it's essential to understand the dress code—and know when to bend the rules.

White tie: White tie is a formal dress code typically reserved for galas and state dinners. For men, swap your black tie dinner jacket for a single-breasted tailcoat and a wing-collar white shirt with mother of pearl shirt studs. You'll also need a white bowtie and a white vest. If you want to go ultra-traditional, you can lace up your black patent leather shoes with black ribbon. For women, it's time to break out the floor-length ball gown and long gloves.

Black tie: Black tie is a formal dress code common for formal evening events. Traditional black tie for men entails a single- or double-breasted dinner jacket and matching trousers worn with a pleated white dress shirt with a turndown-collar. It's generally fine to veer slightly from the black tuxedo: More creative black tie options include midnight blue tuxedos and white dinner jackets. Finish the look with cufflinks, a black bow tie, a white pocket square, black patent leather shoes, and black dress socks. Cummerbunds (waist coverings) and vests are optional—just don't wear them together. The black tie dress code for women is a little more flexible: You'll want a knee-length to floor-length evening dress. Accessorize with heels or flat dress shoes, a clutch, and minimal jewelry.

Black tie optional: When an invitation says "black tie optional," the expectation is that you'll either wear black-tie attire or something similar but a little more relaxed—like a dark suit or elegant cocktail dress.

Cocktail attire: Cocktail attire, also known as semi-formal attire, is the style of clothing you'll wear to evening events like fundraisers and weddings. Cocktail dress code involves casual suits and dress shirts for men. Stick to wool suits in dark colors in winter; for summertime and outdoor cocktail events, you can wear a light-colored suit in a breathable material like seersucker or linen. Oxfords, loafers, and brogues are acceptable footwear choices. A cocktail dress is fancier than a sundress but more casual than an evening gown. When in doubt, go for the classic little black dress. Not wearing a dress? Go for a dark suit or dressy separates.

Business casual: Business casual doesn’t necessarily mean casual—what it actually means is that you don’t have to wear a suit and tie. Business casual workwear usually includes a collared shirt (button-up or polo shirt) or sweater on top, and dress pants, khakis, chinos, or a pencil skirt on the bottom. You may also wish to add a blazer or sport coat, but you don’t necessarily need a custom-tailored suit jacket. Shoes should be closed-toe and professional, whether you choose boots, heels, flats, loafers, mules, or oxfords.

Dressy casual: Dressy casual, also known as “smart casual,” is an upgraded version of casualwear, generally more suited to job interviews, client meetings, and casual nighttime events. For a dressy casual dress code, break out trendier pieces, like jumpsuits, blazers, and high-end footwear. Instead of T-shirts, opt for button-downs and blouses.

Casual: Casual attire is the least restrictive dress code, but this doesn’t mean you should dress quite as casually as you would at home. Jeans and T-shirts in solid colors are okay, but stay away from graphic tees, flip-flops, and anything ripped or stained. Depending on the season, you may want to wear full-coverage shorts or a casual sundress. Casual dress codes are typical for low-key and outdoor events.

Ok. I am going to let you in on a secret about how to make programming projects.

You know how people write really good code? Easy to read, easy to work with, easy to understand and very efficient?

By refactoring.

The idea that you write glorious nice code straight is an insane myth that comes from thinking tutorials is how people actually code.

That is because programming is just writing. Nothing more. Same as all other writing.

The hobbit is ~95000 words.

Do you think Tolkien created the Hobbit by writing 95 thousand words?

Of course not! He wrote many many times that. Storylines that ended up scrapped or integrated in other ways, sections that got rewritten, dialog written again and again as the rest of the story happened. Background details filled in after the story had settled down

Writing. Is. Rewriting.

Coding. Is. Refactoring.

Step 1 in programming is proof of concept. Start with the most dangerous part of your project ( danger = how little experience you have with it * how critical it is for your project to work )

Get it to do... anything.

Make proof of concept code for all the most dangerous parts of the project. Ideally there is only 1 of these. If there is more than 3 then your project is too big. ( yes, this means your projects needs to be TINY )

Then write and refactor code to get a minimum viable pruduct. It should do JUUUUUST the most important critical things.

Now you have a proper codebase. Now everytime you need to expand or fix things, also refactor the code you touch in order to do this. Make it a little bit nicer and better. Write unit tests for it. The works.

After a while, the code that works perfectly and never needs to be touched is hard to read. Which does not matter because you will never read it

And the code that you need to change often is the nicest code in the codebase.

TRYING TO GUESS AHEAD OF TIME WHAT PARTS OF THE CODE WILL BE CHANGED OFTEN IS A FOOLS ERRAND.

( also, use git. Dear god use git and commit no more than 10 lines at once and write telling descriptions for each. GIT shows WHAT you did. YOU write WHY you did it )

Is this how to make your hobby project?

Yes. And also how all good software everywhere is made.

dunno if this has been done yet but: airplane didn’t first become aware of peerless cucumber in the comments of pidw, he first saw peerless in the comments of a different web novel (that perhaps was one of airplane’s earlier works?) and so when initially drafting pidw he was inspired to write a villain just like cucumber bc “he’s MEAN MEAN for no reason, a literature snob, and pretends to be all high and mighty while looking down on others. also likes to kick down the little guy” and boom. sqq was born. cut to years later post-transmigration when sqh just casually drops this info with “lol i always did find it funny how much you hated the guy considering he’s literally based off you”
