I got bamboozled and I’m not ashamed to admit it.

Unfortunately neither of that worked, as those are multiple monorepos with different code owners. JJ is nice, but not worth that much of a work around it..

One day I met with a friend in restaurant. We’re both high energy and chaotic communicators. We were discussing something when waitress interrupted us to ask for the order but also asked how can we do THAT. We didn’t know what “THAT” was an

I really tried to like jj but I couldn’t make it work for my workflow: There are files that are committed to repository that I need to edit (e.g. .envrc files, which cannot be overridden). There is no way I can ignore those in Jujutsu. In p

Personal anecdote: I had to replace 3 smartphones out of my pocket because they fallen into nice, soft snow (over the years). Different manufacturers, same answer: water damage - you’re on your own bud! On the other hand I had 0 problems re

There’s implementation of Forth for Cardputter[0] if anyone is interested. I tried to boot it and it worked. I’m not a Forth enthusiast myself but was thinking about doing something with Uiua, as I think it’s really fun toy language for suc

Geez, the more I read about it the more I think about migrating my gaming machine to something like Pop_OS. I heard people are having great experience, and Steam through Steam Deck has considerably improved gaming on Linux experience. I thi

I rarely use DCGs because they suffer from completeness syndrome, i.e. you either define full DCG or you crash on first error. For such tasks I prefer quasi-quotation [0] or a simple format with goal expansion [1]. As for readers I rarely n

Lately Prolog became my no. 1 language for stuff and I’ll blindly upvote anything Prolog related. However for those interested in Prolog I’d recommend SWI-Prolog first. Its standard distribution has everything and w kitchen sink included an

But it also costs me. Conversations with lawyer is 1.5h, preparing documents another hour. I need to keep appliance somewhere, which is a storage cost. Average time to resolution is 8 months. I need to pay lawyer up front, and the costs are

I disagree. I have a similar situation right now. Washing machine is leaking when load is anything bigger than light load. Initial guarantee claim to Whirlpool was sent 8 weeks ago. It's dead, no response from anyone. Under consumer ri

All kinds of critical systems, but how critical they are it depends both on domain and contracts. Rather well known is payment processing, but also sensitive document chains, legal documents, but it might also be game saves (this one from e

I agree, but on the other hand I don’t think anyone can do anything. I have a stake in treating ADHD but it’s difficult to even describe what ADHD is to a layperson. Describing the needs is almost impossible as different people have differe

Offtopic, but am I the only person surprised how badly Apple stalled when it comes to window management and UX on MacOS? I feel that today, as a power user/professional, MacOS wouldn't be usable without applications like Bartender

It’s an interesting question you’re making. If I’d got a 85” TV as a gift, should I complain about the fact it has 2 HDMIs instead of 6 I require? Such TVs are usually expensive so I could argue it should have 6 ports but then there’s some

Having sound sensitivity I’ll buy this the moment it comes out. I’ve lost countless nights of sleep only because neighbors behind the walls had normal meet conversations past 12am. I really try to not be PITA but it’s my wellbeing vs theirs

Lately I’ve been running such shell scripts/small commands through org-babel in Emacs. They can be fed one through another which is cool. Also can recommend Justfile (it has great discoverability and it just works).

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. That was my first thought too (a tongue in cheek one, so maybe that’s part that’s missing?) Taint mode is one of the concepts I’ve been thinking about a lot (Rust can implement it nicely with type wra

Hate to be w downer but I’d never consider this for use. For trivial applications maybe it’d work, but with more complexity like anything that has risk of deadlocking or depends on the database shape and such solution subtracts from value a
