One of the reasons Linux is so successful is Torvald's insistence on never breaking user space.The python people don't adhere to this principle and maybe I need to give up on it, I'm just sick of this crap.Those of us of a certain vintage will recall the tumult of python-2 to -3. Suddenly, production code needed significant re-writing. We got an arguably better python out of it, but oh! the...
So having done all the "Hard" binary puzzles (and thinking myself very clever), I wanted to start on the "Very Hard" ones at https://www.binarypuzzle.com/puzzles.php?size=10&level=4&nr=1.Very quickly getting stuck, I thought I'd try the AI's for inspiration. All four of the LLM's that I tried appeared to understand the puzzle rules but then they all hallucinated, confounded, fluffed and...

I have 3 persistent programs that tile and the rest float - when I had swaywm set to 'tile', it became such a burden to write 'for_window' clauses for every new transitory program.
If I want it to tile, it's easy enough to $mod-Space it.
On my daily driver, firefox & mythtv have their own workspaces. On another workspace, emacs gets a half-screen and 2 terminals get a quarter screen. I set them up at session start and that's 95% of what I need. After that, everything gets a floating screen - which is what many of the apps expect and need.
I also have some scripts that automatically summon floaters from the scatchpad and fit them on the screen (without changing their size, so not tiling).
It's all here, if anyone is interested: https://gitlab.com/wef/dotfiles
Just a quick question while I'm here - what really is the point of using the GPU? Surely the CPU is adequate for a terminal's modest needs?
... I have an NVidia POS on my lappy but I don't game or use the GPU at all - in fact I removed the drivers so it doesn't drain the battery at all.
