 This Tuesday @ekaitz_zarraga (sponsored by @nlnet ) will be talking about the mission to boot #riscv in #guix and it's importance for #trust and #security in #linux. Come along and learn about this interesting #architecture and some of the challenges of bootstrapping a #foss / #opensource platform. Details here: https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Guix/PatchReviewSessions2024  A bit tired of the work and overall. I think I will put aside all the projects except one hoot tool and spend the rest of the time working out a bit more intense than usual, like 2 times a day, 6 days a week?

 @cwebber @spritelyinst You going to >gulp< make them learn emacs? What if they are vi users? Religious discrimination! @cwebber @spritelyinst amazing job listing, even ignoring the domain specifics. Brief, highly specific, but well specified enough any number of people could fit. Vs typical long, actually quite generic, but with a set of requirements maybe nobody meets. Still there's an evil module in my mind that wants to erase the left half of U so that the graphic says "Work with JS" :)  I wrote a syntax-rules macro to define a record type with updaters instead of mutators: https://gitlab.com/dpk/presrfis/-/blob/master/define-value-type.scm Don't take contributions for granted, don't take reviews and maintanance for granted. Thank people, acknowledge their hard work, time and effort. That feeling when you’re like “yay! that bug’s not in my code!”… and then you realize that you’re probably going to have to roll up your sleeves and fix it anyway. A usual day of a life of Linux distro developer: rebuild the kernel to trace the bug in a library transitively used by almost any graphical/media application in your system, which causes complete system crash. The funniest thing is that all this work is needed just to make my webcam work >< Intel, you could do a better job for IPU6 support on Linux platforms yourselves. Great thanks to libcamera devs for responsivness and cooperation. Guile Hoot now have eval and fibers! That means we can extend Arei and Ares IDE to support Hoot. Will take some time, but I guess it worth it. https://spritely.institute/news/guile-hoot-v050-released.html  New blog post: Just a theory: the flat earth vs. evolution https://jamesendreshowell.com/2024-09-06-just-a-theory-the-flat-earth-vs-evolution.html Curious, do you think something like Occam's Razor belongs in that list of what makes a successful theory? I feel like you can always add the analogue of epicycles and have an equally good theory, no? Great blog post @akkartik Wow. I love your appeal to Ivan Illich to observe that software is like—mining: extraction from externalities to decreasing marginal returns. Such an insightful statement of the problem.  Maybe I'm going a bit too far with with "usual" text editing keybindings for Emacs, but I finally have some consistency between emacs and the rest of the places, where I type text (including other text editors).  @abcdw I try to adapt everything to the default bindings of Emacs as much as possible @abcdw I like your added smartparens bindings and how you're handling undo. I've been thinking of setting up a 'normal keybindings' Emacs config, to toggle on when I want to share my laptop. Definitely borrowing some of this. Thanks for sharing.

 I was able to build pijul version 1.0.0-beta.9 using Guix. Link to the package: https://git.sr.ht/~akagi/rrr/tree/12118709e84be8b13869b4b62800c66f0e8f6f57/item/rrr/packages/pijul.scm#L336 @drewdevault What are your thoughts on MPL vs GPL? Do you know if I can create MPL projects, which have GPLv3 libraries in load-path and if I use their APIs directly?  @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. |
