@abcdw They do a better job, except when the committer is required to sign commits, as is the case in Guix; in that case the forge still leaves it up to the committer to perform the last actions.

@abcdw There is nothing inherent to the mailing list driven workflow preventing this. This is something the CI could take care of. Having the CI being the one responsible for the merging itself ensures that
a) The main branch is always green
b) Any artifacts associated with commit are build _before_ the branch the commit is promoted to master

@abcdw Was it a one time effort or do you have a prompt which you can use regularly?

I switched to hledger because it supports different rules during CSV import: https://hledger.org/1.40/hledger.html#csv

I do an import every month, and I add entries to my CSV rules file whenever it cannot categorize something.

@abcdw damn, using an LLM for that is a fantastic idea

@abcdw txr is quite handy for this sort of task. Unfortunately, you do have to remember txr which is extremely powerful and that can take some time. However, Kaz did write lots of examples and has been very responsive to answering questions about it.

@abcdw Look, Claude 3.5 has found a solution!

a = b = c = 4

4/(4+4) + 4/(4+4) + 4/(4+4)
= 4/8 + 4/8 + 4/8
= 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2
= 3/2 + 1/2
= 4

@abcdw думаю после лет так 10 на физмате, можно будет утверждать - я это понимаю и могу прочесть

@look @Z572 @anemofilia Gosh, I so need to modernize my setup...

@look Cool idea!

@look @Z572 @anemofilia
Oooh cool. I've been wondering how to do that kind of setup with Guix.

@abcdw @cwebber

The work that you have done with RDE and arei and ares, along with the Spritely Institute are the main reasons why I am excited about using Guile for my stuff.

It is easy to focus on the gaps and issues associated with Guile but, ultimately, when using programming languages, a very big factor is the company we keep and the community we build.

I find you, Christine, Dave, and many others inspiring,

@abcdw every project in every language seems to be like this. C++, Python, embedded stuff... I seem to remember Rust being an exception though

@abcdw Have to say I spend another 20% of my time faffing about with GIT branches.

@abcdw Truth, this.

@abcdw The problem with going round robin is that replying to an old email often takes way longer, because it's less likely to be about the most recent thing you were working on or thinking about, so you have to switch gears.

Also, there's a good chance that the subject of the old email has either worked itself out, or blown up (in which case you have newer emails about it.)
