hi! im not dead i just kinda fell off cohost after i wrote a long post and couldn't post it (and still can't last i checked) and so have been spending more time on mastodon instead.
might do a post about the programming language i'm tinkering with where i realized that the easiest way to implement the parser was to implement it as an interpreter for my grammar which operates on a stream of tokens to turn it into an AST
waves hope you do post more nerd stuff here!
Gravis mentioned that you can share links to your drafts, and the drafts are nigh-unlimited.
check the browser console when posting it, there might be an error message which isn't displayed.
the server blocks ALL requests that contain specific strings (for me this happened with "& g t ; s c r i p t", even though it was escaped)
can narrow it down by splitting the post in half and seeing which half fails to send, etc.
Almost wish I hadn't deleted my Twitter so I wouldn't have to arduously find all of my friends individually on each platform. Cohost is getting quite good pretty fast, hope you do try to stick it out
Understandable! I'm glad to see you back but for sure go with the solution that works for you!
I just got atcivated here. But i'm getting no engagrment at all.
