Do you have a strong defense of this dismissal? It doesn't seem apt to me. It even cites an example of embedding syntaxes like markdown and bbcode within it.

by abathur 5y ago
I generally agree that this isn't actually a markdown alike, and so the tag line doesn't make much sense. In their defense, though, there isn't really a popular ~semantic lwml to refer back to in their elevator pitch--I can u

Happy coincidence to see scroll here. It's in a short list, along with its ~parent format (Tree Notation), of lwml projects that I discovered while trying to census the domain a few weeks ago and loosely intend to tweet or maybe blog a

Yeah. Seems like a really speculative benefit to squander goodwill over. I already have a pretty strong knee-jerk reaction to going-fast | limited-quantity-remaining | zomg-hundreds-of-other-people-are-looking-at-this manipulations. Guess I

Hmm. This isn't something I'm doing terribly consciously, so I'm not sure if this will make sense: ~literally, it means something like "approximately". It would obviously break the sentence if it literally meant &

I agree with this general sentiment, but I'll add that it's worth reading most posts about Nix through this lens. Finding your sea legs is rough, and IME people who completely deny this are few and far between. The reward is a

I'm not sure what the ~deciders would say, but experimental here means something like "opt-in public beta." Maybe you're drawing a distinction I'm missing, but it doesn't strike me as that weird to note experim

I guess you'd take the unlicensed driver, then? Or maybe just ask if they're a good driver? The bureaucracy measures what it measures; if it was useless, you'd ignore it. It isn't perfect (it never is), but it's a s

Some people who lack a driver license know how to drive and are quite capable of driving safely. A few of those, I'm almost certain, drive better than most people with a license. When you need a ride home from the airport, do you want

Along these lines, unless you have good sense that the accusation and discussion about it are both indelible and preserved in sources that are insurmountably-well-ranked, consider whether you can stomach living the life of a content-produce

With the naivety of someone who's never worked in _any_ large dev environment: I would guess for that to work (at this point, at least) every team would need either someone who knows Nix on the team, or at least on-demand access to som

I found documentation > cookbook ( https://www.liquidsoap.info/doc-1.4.4/cookbook.html ) a better place to scratch this itch :)

Not exactly ot, but I enjoy following Venkatesh on Twitter ( https://twitter.com/vgr ). There is a fair bit of self-reflexive/recursive terminology to sort through, but I guess the best way to put it is that he's ju

I still occasionally post these _when they aren't urgent_ because there's an off chance someone will know, and a greater chance some future traveller will find it by search and turn up with a good thought or answer. But yes, it ca

Right. I'm sympathetic with the general thrust of the arguments here (and agree the incentives are misaligned), but intellectual curiosity isn't a good beast-of-burden. I work as a programmer, but have an MFA in creative writing (

This comment makes me think you may reading me differently than I intend, though I'm not sure which bit you're responding to. Perhaps my use of the word "operators"? In any case, I do not intend to suggest any subsidy to

If you want to try this but balk at the ~rough install experience around the Nix volume/encryption: a bunch of work I did to sand this down last Fall was merged into master this Spring. There are some headwinds wrt backporting those im

For sure. I don't see these as comprehensive, nor as reasons not to try (nor even think it'd be possible to stop others from trying them). But I worry that this path is already the one we're disposed to fail/default into

I think it may be helpful to evaluate the extent to which things have gravity, or create their own weather. Some things can be hard to make sense of if your perspective is either too local, or too global. I found the post interesting, but i
