technomancy (turbonerd aspect)

it's been hard being someone who's not a fan of the github monopoly and having to pick between gitlab (please don't), codeberg (they do a good job at copying github but I think we can do better) and sourcehut (super fast and efficient but they want you to use email to collaborate)

I just came across the idea of "patch requests": https://pr.pico.sh/

the idea is that instead of attaching your patch to an email, you ssh it to a service that tracks patches submitted; review on the patches is just done by submitting follow-up patches that put comments into the code; successive fixes that address the reviewer's issues delete the comments and then it's ready to go; you run a single ssh command to get a patch you can pipe directly to git am

when a patch is pushed it updates an RSS file you point your HTTP server at

no account needed, no client software to install; everything is spare and minimal but smooth

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

looking to pick back up on #fennel development once the jam is over and I get a chance to polish off a few things in Tower Institute of Linguistics

just a few little things left on the list for the upcoming 1.5.0 release: https://todo.sr.ht/~technomancy/fennel?search=label%3A%22next-release%22

the theme for this release will be making the compilation output more efficient and better-looking

here's what we've got so far: https://git.sr.ht/~technomancy/fennel/tree/main/item/changelog.md#150--

I wrote up my thoughts on the #clojure style guide

https://gist.github.com/technomancy/1e29d5a61ef8a61252257e8842ff5acc

mostly I agree with it, but it gets a few things wrong and leaves out a few things

got an email about #strangeLoop coming up that included an invitation to join a slack chat for the conference, but I don't use slack unless I'm getting paid for it

so I went on libera.chat and made an unofficial ##strangeloop channel there if anyone else going to the conference feels similarly

me: [talking with the guy who wrote RFC 5785] what's up

guy: well, I've come up with a new kind of directory

me: cool, what's it called?

guy: it's called dot well known

me: oh

me: how many people know about it?

guy: well, there's me; I know about it

guy: and I guess now you know about it too

me: so just the two of us

guy: yeah but I'm hoping it will be, you know,, better known in the future

me: what's the dot for?

guy: oh, that makes it a hidden directory

me: so you're hiding it, in hopes to make it better known

guy: I ... uh, ... I mean, yeah

me: hey Lua, I'd like to make a program that's portable and self contained; can you make that nice and small?

Lua: sure, how's 300kb sound?

me: perfect; thanks

me: hey Lua, what about if I want my standalone program to like ... draw a single line on the screen or something, instead of just using standard in and standard out?

Lua:
