 I started to write "I don't have enough resources" rather than "I don't have enough time" and that is why: - Sometimes I have time, but have no power or mind fuel to do it. While I can't do much about the first point, I slowly collecting funds and other assets for the second one. New repositories support added recently to #repology: In other news, #guix is blocking access from Russia again, so it's not updated in Repology. My new a bit cringy, but still useful video about load paths in Guile: https://youtu.be/kPnn22aC5eQ?list=PLZmotIJq3yOJFuvJzIcbBJuXflzQqTUEc

 Video - GPU compute - I wish to spend some time to do a deep dive into pipewire ecosystem, plugins, effects, noise gates, graphs and all that stuff. > I saw a book entitled «Die GNU Autotools» and I thought «My feelings exactly». Turns out the book was in German. Old, but gold. Decided to avoid HashiCorp Nomad and go with k0s on top of Guix System. The nomad's community is much smaller than kubernetes', probably so small that they didn't even fork the project after license change. License is a actually a big deal. Source available software is a bit better than proprietary, but still very far from FOSS. The company potentially going bananas is only one of many problems. Are there any well-maintained forks of hashicorp nomad? Asking for my friend, who wants to experiment with nomad on Guix. If you thought that Scheme world is fragmented and any library can bring it's own libs, arcane macros or reader exetnsions and provide a new dialect of the language, look at the js ecosystem :) On a path to self hosting?

@ente clicking on the link in the text of the post itself works for me, but clicking on the link card generated leads to a 404, just a heads up! Thanks for the work you do!  @ente This is a fantastic project. I use it to backup photos and to share albums with friends, as it supports all platforms. It was reallya valuable tool for a recent alumni event for posting and sharing photos. Fantastic. @ente Am I inspired you to write a post? 😄 How about making a vscode extension in Guile Hoot to build a vscode-based Guile IDE on top of Today I learned that @ente is now self-hostable! Now I need to consider and evaluate it in addition to https://immich.app and https://photoprism.app. Is 2024 the year of self-hosting?)  Holy shit! Why doesn’t every screenshot app work like that? UPD: app is https://flyingmeat.com/acorn/

  We desperately need to start a Slow Software movement. High quality, intentionally designed, low defect software done at a quarter of the pace for the same price. Because we've been destroying the mental health of developers for the last quarter century, and what do we have to show for it but a giant mess?

 @uncanny_kate also the mental health of tech support and all of the customers. Seriously the first company that can release glich free software by taking care and time, may very well rule the market. @uncanny_kate I NEED A BIGGER BOOST BUTTON The current way companies do Agile is "Build a half-assed MVP with code we'll have to throw out wholesale if we want to upgrade it, do user research and find out they don't really wanna use it because it's not doing everything the old version did, and decide not to dedicate the resources needed to rewrite it into something usable." Rinse and repeat ad nauseum etm.  there's a demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d28Dih-BBUw I'm looking forward to trying it out; apparently it's still a fairly new project (first commit in March) but I think it has the potential to be huge by picking just the right slice of the problem to solve @technomancy That's very nice! Looks really handy. Much simplier than both emailing patch series and sending PRs. Use of RSS is quite nice too. there's a demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d28Dih-BBUw I'm looking forward to trying it out; apparently it's still a fairly new project (first commit in March) but I think it has the potential to be huge by picking just the right slice of the problem to solve Trying to load js code with bigint literals in typescript project, most horrible and dissatisfying programming experience I've had in years. I already spent a few days debugging it and thought that I localized the issue, but we are still not here. Updating javascript parser in transitive dependencies is not enough. The problems is in the hardcoded javascript standard version in call to parser in one of the bundler plugins, which in case a transitive dependency of another package, which provides dev tooling.

Another important thing about x13s on my mind: to change keyboard to japanese one, which will really help with my RSI. It will require some modification of chassis and will cause the loss of guarantee, but it's not that scary as for 2-3k$ laptops. @abcdw I currently have the Thinkpad X13S and use it as a primary work machine if you have any questions. It's been great for my use-case. Especially for the battery life and size and such. I use Windows on it and do C++ projects on it and some Vulkan development and use VSCode to do remote-dev to my Linux server as well and basic media consumption if that aligns in any way with what you intend to use it for. |

@abcdw I heard somewhere that thinking takes a substantial percentage of your body's energy, so yes I think your phrasing is accurate. It is not just a matter of time, it is a matter of how much energy your body can metabolize and devote to a task.
