I’m a fossil fan. I’d say that git is fine for 90% of development (or some arbitrarily large number), but so is fossil. I don’t even think that SQLite-in-git would necessarily be a deal-breaker that couldn’t be worked around (drh ‘sqlite ca

Tcl 8 brought “dual-ported values” (among other things) to the table. Values were stored in “objects” (not to be confused with object-oriented programming objects) whereby the “string representation” was always available (“everything is a s

This doesn't answer the question, but on topic: I was working with a building engineer who described a situation where a car engine caught on fire underneath a buildings (large, extended) eve that was built with steel beams, and they d

Huh, TIL. I think I actually don’t care about any of that except for the cert verification, which is a Big Deal. Thx for the reply!

That’s exactly how I was interpreting your original post, but I had to confirm. The impulse response (real or constructed) was my first thought too... this all sounds intriguing, and it’s a synth day for me today ;)

Does that mean convolve (e.g.) white noise w some decay model (or apply adsr envelope?), and then again convolve your subject w that resultant decayed random noise? Do my definitions for “random” and “decay” even fit your thought?

nvi (default vi on (I believe) Net (and therefore Minix), Free, and OpenBSD) supports what sounds similar via “:script”. You have to split your window (or fg/bg the buffer) manually, though.

I think I could live w having to “quote” ^Z to suspend a job, but worry I’m going to have ^Z baked-into my muscle memory and end up accidentally suspending jobs on non-tmux sessions.

Sure, but this is like describing a scenario where automobile brakes are randomly spontaneously being applied as “cars are being parked more often than usual.”

To start, I think your project is excellent and I don't mean to take away from your work. It has bore fruit, which is an accomplishment on it's own, to say nothing of the intrinsic value of simply investigating and hacking in wh

It seems to me that theoretically the effect is brutal. Practically, it’s negligible. We pipe everyday, all day, and the world carries on, so that’s a pragmatic vote of confidence for pipes. Are you trying to get me to write a “worse is bet

> composition via pipes That’s a good, big one in favour of shells. Re: file system, std err/out, I’m not convinced, but pipes alone are worth a lot. I wasn’t thinking at all of pipes, and you’ve tipped the scales, but is it enough?

Ah. I used that flag on first build attempt (which failed), then did a “tools/git-sync-deps” to pacify the build system (w/o any flags), wherein the repo cloning did commence.

I’d be grateful to see some sort of build log from a successful run with this frankenbuilder and try making a traditional BSD Makefile.

Ugh... This build system is _horrible_. bash-dependent meta-builder for ninja-build working in git checkouts. Are both actual releases and traditional build systems that out of fashion?

1) this is exciting, if not also brilliant 2) SQL transactions as prior art? If they’re successful w their patent, I sure hope there’s a way for BSDs to try it on.
