@npub1fzx…t6h3 A lot of success for you in 2024 too :)

One of my New Year's resolutions is that I need better focus. Better focus at work, and better focus on my personal projects.
Whenever I have something to work on, instead of just sitting at my laptop and aimlessly trying to achieve what I want, I will try to break up tasks into 20 mins chunks. Whenever I start working, I set up the timer and know that for the next 20 minutes I have to focus on that concrete objective. No distractions, no selecting music, no wtv

@npub1fzx…t6h3 So the tip you gave me ended up now solving the problem entirely (it was nonetheless super helpful). I ended up changing the location of the mutex, and declaring it at the top of the file as var mu sync.Mutex instead of a field in the struct. The race condition seems to have been fixed for now.
Man the MIT guy was not joking, debugging concurrent code it is not trivial.

@npub1fzx…t6h3 Total sense. Thanks!

@npub1fzx…t6h3 I will need to test this out later (or probably only tomorrow). But one question, is my usage of the Mutex correct? Basically, every operation that I write that might change the Coordinator struct is wrapped on Lock and Unlock. Not used to write concurrent programming.

2023-12-12 17:04:14

- reply

@npub1fzx…t6h3 But if this is truly the problem, then I have no idea why my code is working (the code works when I only have one Worker, so no concurrent access)

2023-12-12 17:03:15

- reply

@npub1fzx…t6h3 Dammnnnnn. That could probably be it. I need to try it out later (not on my laptop now), but thanks A LOT! No way I would figure this one out any time soon :D

@npub1fzx…t6h3 https://pastebin.com/yiiWewKg. This is my coding for this https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.824/labs/lab-mr.html.
Basically, this coordinator will have GetTask RPC calls from one for various workers. ON top of that, there is another part of the code calling the Done method every couple of seconds.

Going crazy trying to solve a race condition on my go program.
I am using a Mutex to try and guarantee that no two go routines are writing and reading from the same struct, but somehow the race detector keeps saying I still have a race condition. I probably am not using the mutex right

@npub19cv…qnc3 I do get your feeling, but unfortunately I don't have a very long attention span. I can't focus on something for like 1h without getting distracted.
But I do relate with the having so many things to hack on

@npub1fzx…t6h3 I actually use it at work. Can't say I love it, but it seems convenient to query data in a graph structure no (which is our case)?
Although I will say that took me some time to actually get started with it

@npub19cv…qnc3 can you use closure for Vs code extensions?

@npub1fzx…t6h3 I will take a look. Thank you! Does it also have an android app?

2023-10-24 15:29:14

Ok next question on my #degoogle journey.
Do you guys have any recommendation for a Cloud Storage provider?
I do intend to play around with self hosting, but I would also like to have some reliable cloud storage provider. Ideally with the following features:
- Good android integration (can sync photos automatically for example)
- Able to be mounted on Linux/Mac
- Privacy/Security focused
One that seems to be interesting to me is https://filen.io/, but it seems that it does not have that many users. A lot of people seem to like https://mega.io/ also

2023-10-24 11:59:41

- reply

@npub1fzx…t6h3 For me what's important is they don't sell/use my data, and that the company has a reliable security, so that the risk of them getting hacked and my emails leaked is minimal. But I suppose for my usecase, Fast Mail would be equally as good. Thanks for this discussion!

2023-10-24 06:55:12

- reply

@npub1fzx…t6h3 Thanks for your input. Yeah I was also considering FastMail. Proton Mail seems more interesting to me since they are more focused on security I guess.
But are you saying that there is no privacy benefit of using Proton Mail over Fast Mail?

2023-10-23 20:25:30

Anybody here uses proton mail? I have been looking for alternatives to Gmail, seems that #protonmail is a good choice overall.
The payment plan also includes a vpn, which is also something I don't have atm.
Anyone had any bad experiences with it?

@npub19cv…qnc3 at some point I was looking for something just like this

Which #firefox extensions do you use?

2023-10-05 12:41:34

If I start self hosting some pages/small apps, what would be the best/safest way to expose that to the public internet? I understand that I could just do port forwarding on my router, but that makes me a little anxious for some reason. Would it be possible to, say, create a tunnel between my network and a remote EC2 aws instance, and tunnel the traffic through there?

@npub1fzx…t6h3 @npub1xth…49e7 out of curiosity, what do you use for email?

2023-08-04 17:31:03

- reply

@npub19cv…qnc3 @npub1jz4…d2ua I think typically the GUI has a higher abstraction than the terminal, so by using terminal applications you get exposed to more stuff that you don't in the GUI.

On #emacs magit, how do I make it so that the merge and rebase branches are always main for a given branch that I am working on?

@npub179t…alcr I would be interested.

@npub1fzx…t6h3 But how to workers get new jobs? Is it like, this `queue` set's up a server with some Rest API, and then the worker's can query the rest API to see if there are any jobs to do? Does that mean that you have to also implement the code on the worker's to constantly check if there are new jobs?
I have never setup something like this that is why I am asking.

@npub1fzx…t6h3 where do you use this? Is this to distribute work on various threads on a single machine, or across various machines?

@npub1fzx…t6h3 hmmm. Man this kinda sucks. Maybe I should really get around to installing Sly.

2023-07-13 18:12:20

- reply

@npub1fzx…t6h3 I could not use SLY for some reason. When I installed via straight and did `M-x sly`, there was an error ( I think I posted about it here at the time).
I tried slime and it just worked

2023-07-13 18:05:54

- reply

@npub1fzx…t6h3 I use corfu. So basically, I need to add the slime completion function to the completion-at-point-functions, but only for lisp buffers

2023-07-13 17:30:06

On #emacs how do I set different capfs for different modes?
For example, I want to to have slime--completion-at-point function added to mine completion-at-point-functions when I edit .lisp files, but not there otherwise?
I suppose more generally the question is, how do I set variables for specific modes?

@npub19cv…qnc3 yeah. Coming mostly from Python, I am really enjoying Go. I really wanna see if I can start using it more and more at work.

2023-07-10 08:02:41

#commonlisp question: so if I can build executables with SBCL and manage packages using quicklisp, why do I need Roswell for?

@npub1fzx…t6h3 Thanks! I have that exact page from the cookbook bookmarked:).
Need some time to play around with this more. Coming mostly from Python, there are a few things that are not super intuitive to me yet.

2023-07-09 20:02:05

Still struggling a bit to understand with how to actually use Common Lisp for scripts. One of the things I really like about go is that it just compiles to a single executable. I would love to be able to do this with Common Lisp as well but I really still cannot understand how.

@npub1fzx…t6h3 It was what I chose anyways :D

@npub1fzx…t6h3 Pretty cool. Noob question: Any reason on why LispWorks runs much slower than SBCL? Aren't they supposed to be implementations of the same language, but LispWorks is proprietary?
Also, is the Common Lisp code compiled?

2023-06-19 07:54:24

I want to have a separate tab/window layout for each project on #emacs, and ideally, having Emacs restore this after each session.
Here is more what I mean: When I select a project with project-switch-project, Emacs would check if I already have a tab/buffer group associated with that project. If yes, open it, if not, create a new one.
Any ideas on how to achieve this?
