@abcdw that would confuse me horribly. I tried using the Mac OS text editor the other day and it felt almost as bad as the first time I tried to use Vim.

@abcdw I bound x/c/v to kill/save/yank in my meow modal editing config. It seems to reduce mental friction for me.

@abcdw We still accept you

@abcdw As someone learning guile for guix how am I supposed to remember all those module names!!! srfi-34 ice-9, give them a name please! Also would be nice if there was some kind of prelude module that had all the common modules exported.

@abcdw

Maybe it can help if newcomers can refer to a list of useful dependencies to start different kind of projets. Say web, cli, gui...
i.e. it would not aim to present all existing web server lib, just the one simple enough to get started. Same for databases, etc....
Kind of way to say "you can narrow your learning to this, and still be productive"

@nikitonsky @mkvlr Unix domain sockets are good for IPC, yeah!

Especially is you know that Windows since something in 10 has them too. Not directly on the fs though.

@nikitonsky @mkvlr So what do you do when you're on windows and don't have unix domain sockets to use?

@nikitonsky @mkvlr unix domain sockets where not supported OOTB in Java until recently. and http client still does not support them yet https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=JDK-8275838 (submitted by me ~2years ago. so you had to use native libs.

@abcdw
This is the best effort of making laptop keyboard less unergonomic. But still, separate split keyboard is better.

@abcdw if you're looking for inspiration by any chance, this is what i came up with couple years ago with the same goal in mind — greatly helped me with chronic wrist strain on my laptops.

P. S. There are also versions 2 and 3 in the repo. In retrospect, i think that vertical movement is way worse than horizontal, ruling out v3. And v2 i didn't spend enough time with to tell if it's superior to the v1 or not. Feel free to check them out as well tho.

@shegeley
It looks like a 90s LAN party and i like it.

Reader, FYI.

On those pics I am 20 kgs fatter than my usual form. And I am working to come back to it after a stressful period of my life.

@abcdw When someone asks you how one does something one usually does without thinking, one cannot consciously do it, so for a few moments I didn't know how I press the space button.

Then I recalled there's a big shiny spot on my space button originating from my pressing it countless times, and it is somewhere mostly on the rightmost third, but the shine starts forming in the middle.

Right... anyway, right.

@abcdw I am right-handed by use my left for the spacebar. I think it is because my right hand covers more keys and is more busy so my left fills in doing the easy, repetitive work. I also sometimes play the piano, my right hand is definitely more articulate.

@abcdw It's on my right thumb cluster on my ergodox.

@wingo FINALLY! YES!

@wingo awesome news!

@wingo so Guile in the browser? Nice

@abcdw I couldn't compile it for musl because a crate depended on glibc.

@abcdw If it had serious emacs bindings, I might start to be interested. WASM as the scripting language is interesting, but it seems nowhere near as extensible as emacs (defadvice, edebug, code-as-data). Still, worth tracking!

@abcdw I’ve been using it for a few weeks, and it’s been a good dev experience. Haven’t yet gotten into writing extensions for it, though.

> I need it to work with git-patch + email-based workflow as an amateur hacker. ✉️ :git:

Working with Sourcehut?

What email client are you using?

I’m using mu4e that I really like but I still haven’t found how to effectively use an email based workflow.

It’s not related to mu4e but rather to how to pipe diff to magit and work with it.

And I don't completely understand how it works. Yet.

@ieugen 😔 ok, will wait for it :)
