Few notes made during implementation of #srfi64 for #guile turned into a blog post: https://wolfsden.cz/blog/post/state-of-srfi-64.html

Magit is the tool that makes me fire dozens of commits weekly without getting in the way or triggering RSI. Rebasing, branch and worktree management, amends, fixups and all other important functionality is 3-4 presses away. https://emacsair.me/2024/08/09/magit-4.0/ Good work @tarsius, keep rocking. Support magit project financially or by spreading the word, especially if you benifit from it financially or it saves your precious time.  Damn so much is working already! Who would have thought it'd be that easy? Lemmy feels like a good old day web. Small, cozy, focused, hand-made.  Yep, like old forums. And there are other compatible platforms coming too. Nodebb, piefed. Some call it the “threadiverse”. As a Blind person i never thought i would be on social media savoring photos. But the communal Mastodon alt text game is so strong that sweet, poetic or silly descriptions abound on my timeline. Thanks to legions of people who take time to write a meaningful description of the ephemera they post, i learn so much about insects, plants, buildings, memes — all dispatches from a dimension of the world that i otherwise wouldn't experience. If you're wondering whether anybody reads these things: YES.

 Zulip is basically a cool Web UI + an orgainzation-wide kind of mailing lists, separated by departments/groups (using channels) and with ability to edit subject (topic), message itself and to split/move threads. It's really sad to see how VPNs are getting blocked in Russia. It's not the first time it's happenning, but it's another (more technological this time) step in this awful direction. My friends, relatives and many other people are getting isolated with this hard to penetrate informational and physical bubble. P.S. Access to many services, news portals and other sources of information are already blocked, youtube is slowed down and probably on the way to be blocked as well. https://www.zdnet.com/article/switzerland-now-requires-all-government-software-to-be-open-source/ Every so-called "government" should do that.  One cool thing about WASM is that it's like JVM bytecode, but modern and for almost all languages. It makes interop much easier and brings polyglot, syntax and language agnostic future much closer.   @abcdw I am curious how Aarch64 Guix runs on metal. I can for certain that Arch64 Debian Bookworm is perfectly stable, and a very good experience. @abcdw tuxedo plan a release as well, with linux support https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/en/TUXEDO-on-ARM-is-coming.tuxedo @abcdw Hi, Guile-PAM is out! Info manual, too: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2024-07/msg00147.html https://codeberg.org/lechner/guile-pam One of the chat apps I found nice is Zulip and I glad to see that it's now possible to use it via email: This Week in Self-Hosted (26 July 2024) More #Immich updates, @ghost #ActivityPub progress, software launches, updates, directory additions, a spotlight on #WhoDB - a modern database management application, and more in this week's self-hosted recap! https://selfh.st/newsletter/2024-07-26/ #selfhost #selfhosted #selfhosting #opensource #homelab #foss #newsletter #fediverse |
@graywolf FWIW I’ve always been dissatisfied with SRFI-64, the spec and (perhaps more importantly) the implementation (all those ‘cond-expand’ make it very messy, indeed).
I get by by using a subset of the interface; I don’t use groups, I don’t fiddle with the runner API unless I can’t avoid it, and I even avoid ‘test-error’ because it’s not correctly ported to Guile IIRC. It’s mostly okay.
But clearly, there’s room for a better test suite interface and implementation!
@graywolf Nice work! Very good writeup, thank you for writing it.
