@npub1upk…tcwy oh. Wow. I have not considered the order of the directory paths. Why is the order important? And are they not important on other shells since you said that is an important consideration for the fish shell?

@npub1upk…tcwy in fish is there difference between the result of the first frame with the add-to-path one, or do they achieve the same results?

@npub1eqg…fncn you can use flakes instead which can update the hash without you needing to calculate it.

@npub1eqg…fncn well, you use the source as the as the source of the package, build it and then copy the binary.

I have been trying 1 Billion Row Challenge, but only counting lines.
In Go and in Rust.
But I cannot figure out why my Rust version is slower than my Go version by a factor of 3!

I have tried SQLite, fjall, persy/structsy and redb.
At the end I decided to go with fjall + postcard, which offers the simplest implementation.
However it is probably the newest kid in the block.
For an alpha stage program it is good enough. If I find any problems with consistency or durability it should be easy enough to go back to other options.

I compared the performance of u8 vs u128 in Rust.
Here is a quick post explaining it.

@npub129g…4kwg no problems. I expect to see all your repos relicensed under EUPL-1.2 in two to six work day. Have a pleasant evening, sir.

@npub129g…4kwg this is not exactly exception, since the reason for it actually follows the rules but anyways: https://chaos.social/@scy/112322871700586498

2024-04-24 12:11:49

At this point, I think we should accept that there is no rule, not even rules of thumb governing over genders in German language. Each time some one suggest a rule, it takes less than 10 seconds to say:
"Actually, in 40% percent of cases this rule does not apply."

Correction, now its under EUPL-1.2

@npub129g…4kwg thanks! Yes. And my memory is shitty. So I needed something that drills stuff to my head. Let's see if this radical approach can finally manage to let me know something beyond "die Katze".

2024-04-23 12:36:12

Ok, I tried every single app under the sun for the learning genders in German.
I made something that works for myself.
I put the code and everything here:
https://sr.ht/~prma/DerDieDas/
Under GPL-3.
This little prompt is going to pop up every single time that I open my terminal (approximately 100 times per day).

We cannot sleep. My wife constantly breaks into tears. I hate this. I hate the country I was born in. I hate this prison.

2024-04-04 19:20:11

If you think about it, hard enough, even performance improvements are breaking changes, since someone might now have a data corruption because of a race condition that they did not have to deal with before.

2024-03-17 21:53:49

It is just me thing. But when I see a period before the ending quotation mark; it feels like washing your hands before going to toilet, or starting the car before sitting in it.
It doesn't matter and it is a pet peeve. But i cannot find as well of an analogy for my other pet peeves.

To me, Redis has had caused much greater effect on our lives than every LLM and generative algorithm combined.
Not only Redis, but many other technologies that are building blocks of the internet and computers, like SQLite, systemd, etc.
Its just that these technologies didn't made as much fuss or as many claims and didn't require sign ups. They just silently carried the whole infrastructure of the internet and modern computing, silently.

@npub13w6…479m isn't it already federated since it uses emails and patch sets? Do you necessarily mean ActivityPub?
By the way, if you have not already seen it, I found this video particularly helpful when learning pr procedure of sourcehut:

2023-11-12 15:09:10

Moved to SourceHut. And I moved my blog to sourcehut pages as well.
I really appreciate the reliance on Email and not having surface-level bullshit, like repo stars and things like that.
Also using email, makes issue tracking an inherently distributed thing.
I think my only annoyance is at the fact that it is using python under its hood, and I cannot see myself ever self-hosting it. However, that should only be a concern if sourcehut starts enshitifying which I cannot see happening.

@npub13w6…479m It usually starts there. US typically forces other countries and companies in other countries to follow suit.
However, for most of the cases, like this, sanctions are being enforced, not because they should be, rather because companies and individual deem it cheaper to restrict us just-in-case, instead of consulting a lawyer.

One aspect of living in iran is not that your access to free internet is only censored by the authoritarian government, rather, governments around the world also reinforce censorship of internet for Islamic Republic which causes random websites to block your access because you were unlucky to be born in a country were religious bigots have hijacked before you were born.

One behavior of neovim and helix that I cannot find a way to replicate in #emacs is to have a menu of whole-project compiler errors. The max I could find was to have the errors of open buffers. More, the only way to get noticed of those errors is to compile the project using emacs' compile-mode.
Talking with some other emacs users in matrix, it is apparently not something that has been done.
There are old issues in flycheck repo, where these feature requests are denied.
