> /emacs gets daily, daily! announcements of new packages. Many of them, if not most, are not some AI-sloped trash

Literally unsubscribed from /r/emacs because it was, in fact, trash.

Haven't used the canvas patch but afaik minad didn't use LLMs to write it.

The issue the OP mentions was likely a known memory-leak in Ghostty that has since been fixed. Claude was triggering the bug in Ghostty but the bug was in Ghostty. Ghostty's author blogged about it

Gentoo was the first distro to use egcs as part of their default toolchain. Not sure if it was the only, but it was the only one I heard to had done so.

I wasn't there when it started but wasn't the raison d'etre was the GCC fork that eventually became the new upstream for GCC. Because the fork was faster Gentoo got the reputation that compiling from source was to get faster executable. This is a misunderstanding imho, as the greatest strength of Gentoo the level of customization enabled by use flags.

Don't use podman compose unless you want to have a bad experience. Play kube is podman's API for orchestration.

Indeed. Podman works great. And kube play unifies container orchestration by using k8s manifests for local orchestration instead of a separate DSL like docker compose.

It is not a good explanation because that is not the reason. That reason is for Mac OS. I don't know the details, but BSDs normally modify the GCC version they use. IIRC OpenBSD used to use GCC 2.95 for years. Porting NetBSD base to compile with a newer GCC version is not as simple as a version bump. My guess is that they haven't prioritized that work yet.

Patches welcome!

It is not, Hanami is a batteries-included framework. It not even a pay-as-you-go framework like Pyramid. The equivalent of Flask in Ruby land is Roda+Sequel.

And IRCv3 has chat history to provide that. But https://snikket.org/ (XMPP) is more likely aligned with what you are looking for

The protocol is OCapN

It is likely you use Chrome or a browser that uses Blink for its engine and the OP uses a non-blink browser like Firefox. I use Firefox and I can cofirm since the last few months Youtube usability borders on usable

junit was not invented, it was a port from Smalltalk's SUnit, which was created on 1989, ~6 years before the first release of Apache. Yes, the extreme programming (XP) craze hadn't popularized TDD, but united testing as a practice already existed, even if only some communities.

Though I agree, that although not a technical justification, an explanation as to why there are no tests is because Apache HTTP is from the 90's. Not writing unit tests was par for course back then. Most FLOSS code bases in the 90s didn't have unit tests, let a alone a CI to run the test suite for each change. Adding tests later is hard. Though there are some tests under the test folder.

Recently saw this through https://discuss.systems/@pkhuong/114532017716618023 which summaries why this would be useful:

> Flagging old live (i.e., potentially immortal) allocations is easier (https://github.com/backtrace-labs/poireau) and more closely matches the goal of identifying why the heap grows instead of entering a steady state.

Ej. Why is Sidekiq memory consumption growing over time.

wmii[0], it implements the acme window layout. But the interesting part is that it exposes its state as a file-system. The main loop is a shell script[1]. So BYO posible, fe here is a Ruby one [2]

The original hy annoucement makes it clear that they embed a Lisp by compiling with Python bytecode. You can see it in the following video about the 16:25 mark

That is because I only mentioned them, didn't explain them.

Kara-cancel is a mechanic that lets you extend the range of your moves, in 3s is used for throws.

So the input for throws in 3s is lp+lk. Now, what happens if while one is trying to press the buttons at the same time they press one slighty before the other? A move will start to come out and then you can't throw because you are doing another move. To make it easier to input throws, devs made so that _any_ move can be canceled into a throw in the first 5 frames of the move. 5 frames is 5/60ths of a second.

Separate to that, some moves move the character forward. Ej. Chunli's HK. So people figured out that if you press a move that moved your character forward and then canceled that into a throw you can extend the effective range of your throw.

Mind you doing this means pressing a button 83 milliseconds before the other one. Which is of course not something you can do by thinking about it, instead you learn to position your hand in a way so that when you move it down together one finger lands before the other two. The name kara-cancels comes from the Japanese word for empty, because you are canceling a move that never came out.

Now I don't know the history, whether the mechanic was first found in 3s and then in SF2T or not, but it is an example of a mechanic intended to ease the input of something being used to expand the toolkit of a character.

V-cancel (not sure if that was the name ppl used for it, didn't play sfa2) refers to the fact that in sfa2 the number of frames to go from standing to downblock is more that the number of frames a character needs to go from standing to a low attack if the character is in v-ism. This means that if two characters are standing next to each other and one activates their v super, they have a guaranteed hit.

This was first used by Ricki Ortiz in a tournament setting in a finals and that is how it became wildly know. The story of it was documented in Sirlin's Play to Win book, which is how I learned about it. https://www.sirlin.net/ptw

> Also, I would love for this guy to do a deep dive on the SC:BW approach to balance, which is map-based rather than based on traditional unit-based balance changes. This way the community is effectively able to balance the game themselves.

Yes, that it something really important that the modern landscape of competitive gaming lost and the frequency of patching increasing. Not just in BW, older fighting games, especially those arcade based ones, people found ways (which sometimes blur the lines between exploit or technique) to keep pushing the bounders. Things like Kara-cancels in 3s, were one is using a mechanic meant to facilitate the throw input to extend the range of the throw. Or wave dashing. It is wild how even character tier lists changed in the original SmashBros 64.

And also how people adapt to this meta changing discoveries, like the bisu-build in BW or when Ricki Ortiz unleashed v-cancel in sfa2!

For what is worth in nix after the code is downloaded the code is built in a sandbox without network access. So one does have a viable alternative for Rust.

And is true that most package managers for popular language allow arbitrary code execution during the install process. That is how husky adds git hooks to the developers machines.

For example in Ruby I need to patch the Kafka gem, karafka because it downloads, builds and stores librdkafa.so in the gem's directory.

I understand that this as well as the husky example comes from a desire to make developer lifes easier but I'd rather we erred on the side of caution. Making sure that software builds without access to the network and without being able to modify your system (ej. Adding files to $HOME)

> is arguably the most powerful debugging experience available for any programming language.

The sly debugger is better than most debuggers, but calling it the most powerful debugging experience is a stretch. Just try the debuger in a Smalltalk implementation (Squeak/Pharo/Cuis)

I use project.el instead of projectile but yeah that is exactly what I do. It is only a couple of lines.

You are thinking of darcs, that is the one that was written in Haskell. Although Darcs is more related to pijul than to git

No, the included demos have examples for a analyzing Ruby (ActiveRecord) and Java. There was a paper a while back about moldable development where they showed a Python debugger.

That is what I was trying to say by

> Other than using version control to determine what are the sources of the derivation

I don't think that defaulting to using git to list the sources when inside a git repo means that it is tightly coupled to git. If one doesn't want to commit/stage the flake files in the repo one can do `nix develop .` and it works . It will take a little longer because it will copy the entire directory to the store iiuc.

I use nix with flakes, have written a couple of flakes day to day use. I am not a nix power user. But based on my current understanding this statement seems incorrect

> Flakes are tightly coupled to Git.

How is it tightly coupled to Git if it supports Mercurial out of the box?

Other than using version control to determine what are the sources of the derivation, what does flakes lean on version control?

Amarok was the first app in Linux that was better than the Windows counterpart. My non-technical friends would ask how could they use it. It was the killer app for the Linux Desktop at the time.

> Also, dcop is probably the best GUI automation tool I’ve used.

Everytime I have to use dbus from the CLI I think to myself, dcop died for this?!

To me the best GUI automation tool (in Linux at least) was Kommander, another KDE app that didn't survived the KDE3-4 transition. A pretty decent 'low-code' tool that unfortunately didn't make it to KDE4.

I used KDE4 up to 4.2, when it supposedly 'got good'. It wasn't bad by any means. But KDE3 was better.

> a fork of a DE from 2002

Not 2002, 2008. Trinity was forked after KDE3 was EOL.

I'm curious if they are keeping DCOP alive or have they embraced dbus?

It is like printf to stderr and exit(1)
