 when a C/C++ programmer says "no dependencies" it means they have copied unknown versions of various dependencies into a particular subdirectory of their project. you can learn a lot about the author's personality by what directory name they choose. "vendor" -> web developer adjacent Microsoft reaches its final form: A box you can't screw with, that shits Teams in your face forever. "Super hardened" from MS means less than absolutely nothing. https://www.theverge.com/2024/11/19/24299789/microsoft-windows-365-link-device-cloud-pc - Do you play any musical instruments?

   Best FOSS bug-reporting experience: author of #wayflan (#wayland client in #commonlisp) fixed some complicated bug in just a 5 days after I've reported https://todo.sr.ht/~shunter/wayflan/10 Now we have toplevel-management protocol working in common lisp I have started working on an interactive debugger for Guile. Still at a very early stage. But here is a small demo. Thanks to Andrew Tropin (@abcdw) for guile-ares-rs and arei, which serve as the foundation for this tool. Unix time is *not* the number of seconds since 1 January 1970. No, it’s not because of leap seconds, although that’s part of it. It’s because from 1970 to 1972, there were two different definitions of a second. UTC seconds were longer than SI seconds. Unix time is actually the number of seconds since 1972, plus 6,307,200 seconds, minus leap seconds. If you subtract those 6,307,200 seconds, you do not get exactly back to what people in 1970 called midnight 1 January.   They could have fixed this by picking 1972 as the epoch. Or they could have picked, say, 2000 as the epoch, and they would have had enough negative timestamps for all of computing history in the 20th century and 30 years’ reprieve for (what we know as) the 2038 problem. As with everything in Unix, they could have fixed it in so many ways. Following my posts on #wayland support in lisps (#commonlisp) https://fosstodon.org/@shegeley/113283596889695651 https://fosstodon.org/@shegeley/113317157261324512 Found an unexpected behavior in #wayflan Distributed System Daemons: More Than a Twinkle in Goblins' Eye https://spritely.institute/news/spritely-nlnet-grants-december-2023.html That's right, *distributed* Shepherd running on top of Spritely Goblins has been funded by NLnet! (Plus a nod to fellow NLnet funded friends, Prescheme and Whippet GC!)

   "As an example, in combination with Guix's deploy, this work will allow Guix to replace solutions like Kubernetes!" When my side project ambitions begin to intersect with my dayjob. Can't wait to see how this unfolds over time! Dear mastodon, I am still looking for a #job (https://fosstodon.org/deck/@shegeley/113023726065375704) Can consult in clojure/clojurescript/guix+guile scheme or take a real project up to 1 year long. I am a citizen of 🇷🇺 but I do have 🇰🇿 bank card.  @HudobniVolk Dokler ima v profilu navedeno Rusijo, ne bo našel nobene službe, razen morda v Rusiji.

 @andrewt The only time I had to worry about drivers with Linux was when I had a laptop with an NVIDIA GPU. All other times the kernel had already all the drivers I may need. Windows gave me more headaches  @andrewt cyclist kernel developers be like :blob_cat_oh_no: :blob_cat_oh_no: :blob_cat_oh_no: :blob_cat_oh_no: ordered the cheapest canon wide-range lens I could find for my 2 canon film cameras that I've inherited from dad. it was a serious threat to my current budget but dam. I've always wanted to try shooting wide-range shooting

 @redezem This, but in more words… (I guess you know this is not true “Agile”, but “Agile, chewed by the corporations and spit out as a abomination”…)  @redezem All I can say is that it works for us. The point of agile isn't to get it done faster, its to get it done right with faster feedback. The military have this concept of the OODA loop, which needs to be as short as possible to let you react to new information. Agile has the same idea. No, requirements are not meant to change, but the reality is that users cannot envisage the new software and how they will work with it. Waterfall blames the user for that. Agile works with the reality. Updates on my life, RSI, Kubernetes on Guix, Guile Hoot, new laptop with japanese keyboard, FOSS grants and probably something else. mpv https://youtu.be/iO60tQw9_h8 https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=iO60tQw9_h8 #foss #rsi #rde #guix #guile #hoot #scheme #kubernetes #thinkpad |

@andrewrk I think under these definitions, I'm a straight-up thief?
I have copied Base58 implementation once into a file called "base58". (Obviously, putting a comment that I stole this code into the file, attributing, complying with licenses).
@andrewrk "vendor" is also used in Android dev, but it refers to firmware
