I've been playing with SudoLang a lot lately and I finally got around to trying to write a simple example of what an actual codebase written in SudoLang could look like.

  • Automatically builds codebase in JavaScript based on SudoLang
  • Imports interfaces into files using the @interfaces directive to ensure compatibility between generated files

It could be extended to:

  • Automatically generate unit tests
  • Use these unit tests for self-refinement to make sure that the generated code works as expected
  • Automatically look up optimizations
  • Automatically rewrite the SudoLang itself to be more deterministic
  • Progressive compilation (only recompile code changes)
  • Automatically produce documentation

There's so much power in writing my codebase like this. It makes it much faster to write, I don't need to know a lot of the low level technical details of each language (though it helps), I don't need to know the best implementations of algorithms I just need to name and/or explain their outcome, and so much more!

Looks like Lemmy "sub-reddit" are activitypub groups and thus can be followed: @technology

Interesting!

So Google is now preventing people from removing location data from photos taken with Pixel phones.

Remember when Google's corporate motto was "don't be evil?"

Obviously, accurate location data on photos is more useful to a data mining operation like Google.

From Google: "Important: You can only update or remove estimated locations. If the location of a photo or video was automatically added by your camera, you can't edit or remove the location."

It's enshitification in action.
