Main use-case here is to open emacs in terminal (emacs -nw) for a quick edit. Emacs in terminal doesn't look ugly at all (because of lack of GUI), and is quite usable without config actually (that's how I'm using it for quick

Yes, I just use "emacs -nw -q" (aliased as eq) when in terminals, and it's surprisingly good most of the time. But having good startup time always would make a huge difference imho, including Emacs's popularity.

by k_bx 6y ago
Yes, I'm certainly using that, but it's far from being enough to make emacs-with-config a usable replacement for the in-terminal editor.

by k_bx 6y ago
I wonder whether there's any discussion around addressing the elephant in the room: big config files. Is there any work towards making Emacs be usable immediately, while config being loaded asynchronously in background, adding features

I think there’s a good use case for such a thing: make it as compatible with current Rust syntax as possible, including keyword names. This way you’d make use of people’s familiarity with Rust, and give them “lookalike Lang with better type

Nice! I don't know Erlang world very well, but the person I know (N2O author) for some reason puts his money on Hamler and says that the author is known for successful projects including https://github.com/emqx/emq

by k_bx 6y ago
Sorry, I mostly meant the VM/platform, not the Erlang language. I assume it'll give all the great features like process trees (with dependencies), introspection, logging, discoverability and other tools that make it great for dist

I'm really looking forward for Hamler lang to become mature and popular https://github.com/hamler-lang/hamler It's based on PureScript, which has a great reputation, but adds all the benefits of Erlang.

Any compiler that can properly use multiple cores could potentially benefit. Rust (and Haskell's GHC) uses all 8 cores I have during a sub-period of recompilation, so I'd guess it could as well use more.

This sounds like a somewhat obvious way to side-step the patent mechanism, so I would assume patents prevent this kind of a thing, when you develop patent-breaking technology abroad and then "just use" it wherever you want. You&#x

From what I've heard (would love to hear more expertise on this), it's incredibly hard to invent a new video compression algorithm without breaking an existing set of patents, and there's also no easy way to even know whether

Turns out I was wrong (and corrected thankfully), Go does not have subtyping, which is good news (at least it makes the language way more tolerable for me).
347.
by k_bx 6y ago
Right, thank you for this correction! I've just spent some more time with Go, looks like I was wrong and it has something closer to Type Classes (or Traits), but not subtyping. // Too bad editing is not available anymore
348.
by k_bx 6y ago
Go does have subtyping (unlike Rust and Haskell), which makes type system needlessly more complicated and type inference harder.

I'd like to mention one less orthodox solution to a problem of managing issues: a little tool called github-agent I wrote https://github.com/k-bx/github-agent It lets you sync your issues as a git directory of mar

I’m using Tokio and Async_std (Actix Web, redis, reqwest ), everything’s great and feels pretty mature, except for the scary part of no warning when using sync code from it.

Right, sorry, forgot to mention macOS even though I’m using Nix there myself for our commercial project’s dependencies

You can use Nix on your Linux (Ubuntu, maybe Gentoo) for the projects you want without going full NixOS.

Interestingly enough, Fractal scaling worked for me in 18.04, but it doesn't work in 20.04 (the thing just crashes). Anyways, hoping for a fix
359.
by k_bx 7y ago
Yeah, but just in terms of redeploy without a downtime, secureness if new version won’t start properly, and redundancy when one server is down because of an OS error while you were asleep. Not about number of clients at all.

by k_bx 7y ago
How does it work on more than one server? (which is how I hope you deploy all your production apps)
