different ways. The pride that I get from creating something beautiful is not inherently competitive. It's hard because my pride in my intelligence is sometimes the latter kind. I feel a sort of prideful satisfaction to be close to Truth (and Truth is God). And I don't know if that's a bad thing. (Perhaps it is bad—for I can never be close enough to Truth or close enough to God that I should ever really feel justified.) And sometimes I feel "proud" of correcting someone because I have an opportunity to lead them and help them get closer to Truth which is God. But sometimes, of course, my pride in my intelligence is pride in being smartER than someone else. And I correct them, or smile when correcting them, because it is evidence that I am better than them.

the stock which forced the value up. Not in an infinite loop or anything, but it meant that the value essentially was leveraged. ETFs look low-risk, they don't look like they're taking leveraged positions, but they are increasing the leverage of the system by not taking a position. An ETF is like a weight pulling down on both sides of a see-saw. I don't know if you've ever done this: I'm imagining hanging from a bar which is fixed by a rope only in the middle. If you keep yourself balanced it's fine, but as soon as you let go of one side the other side shoots up. An ETF is a little like a weight which is attached to both sides of the bar. If that weight is free to slide (your hands are not free to slide when you're gripping a bar), than you better have a lot of other weight otherwise it's an unstable equilibrium. You can't have everyone invested in the S&P 500.

I don’t know, it makes me sad. This person is complaining about how JS development doesn’t target a specific version of JS (like rust editions or .python-version). Wonder why that is? It’s because JS has never broken backwards compatibility. That’s amazing. Any other programming languages wishes that they didn’t have to specify a version. And if you want to go in the other direction, you can do that too. There are transpilers that convert modern JS to any old version of JS. That’s incredible. You can take any JS program and run it on any browser version. That’s incredible. That’s not a reason to criticize the language. Obviously, there are compromises in the language design that are made in order to allow for this but it feels like JS gets burned twice.

you as what you're looking at. If you have whimsy in your heart and you appreciate the beauty of a once in a decade event like a solar eclipse, total or partial, and you appreciate sharing the experience with your friends, then how cool the eclipse actually looks is secondary. If you're cynical and hate nature and enjoy staring at walls, then how cool the eclipse actually looks is secondary. So even though a total eclipse is 10x cooler to look at, if you thought a partial eclipse was lame you'll probably also think a total eclipse is lame.

Like it has this whole bit about how it ranks things based on recent access and then, boom, "When multiple directories match all queries, and they all have a common prefix, z will cd to the shortest matching directory, without regard to priority." Like, that defies the entire point of the program. And `z -x` doesn't seem to work either. Like I never want to cd to my clone of open ai's `whisper`, I want to cd to my project whispermaphone 100% of the time and somehow z's sophisticated database and algorithm cannot figure that out. It cannot handle that simple use case. Edit (52): switched to Zoxide

I've never watched any road-related (that's a lie, I'm a 11-8 bridge fan) Youtube videos but since I used to be subscribed to Tom Scott I guess the algorithm thinks I'm a foaming-at-the-mouth cars-are-bad liberal. They're not popular videos, they're not related to anything else I've watched, and they all have super-generic clickbait titles like 'fix roads with one easy trick.' I don't need to watch the video. It's public transportation. I'm not even opposed to public transportation I just don't care. I don't think it'll be entertaining. I don't know if it'll be entertaining because I've never watched one. I'm going to start screenshotting them because I sound like I'm crazy. I might be crazy. But not as crazy as these armchair highway-engineer YouTubers.

a similar feedback loop when talking to people. The more often you talk to people, the lower-stakes it is. The problem is that it's easy for me to sit down and work for 8 hours. (Well, it wasn't, that was something I had to learn—crucially, by creating safe escapes, easy tasks. "First, I’m okay with “wasting” this time. Some of this time I spend scrolling on my phone, taking a nap, or making myself a snack.") And I hate social situations because I can't, or I feel like I can't, step away and take a nap if I'm overwhelmed (which I'm going to be when I haven't gone to a social event in 5 years). I think the other problem is that relationships are never going to be easy. But I don't know. Stop Worrying is very different from conventional wisdom. (It's not very different from what people do, but it's very different from what people say.) And Stop Worrying was really hard for me to implement at first, because it really felt like I was compromising on my values. In particular, "your time is not valuable" is something I never would have guessed would be important.

> Stallman is not a monomaniac. Some things are more important to him than the amount of freely copyable software. One of these is the freedom not to disclose things you have done privately. => http://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-discuss_lists.opensource.org/2001-April/003135.html

itself) are not compatible with the Debian definition of open source.

The title text on this one is amazing. > The new crowd is heavily shaped by this guy named Eric, who's basically the Paris Hilton of the amateur plastic crazy straw design world. And everyone keeps trying to sort these licenses into categories and basically every license needs its own category because they're all different licenses by definition. There's no bottom. you can just keep dividing your criteria until every person in the world has a different definition for every license.

The problem is that there aren't hard and fast rules. Here's a quote from Stallman criticizing open source: > some open source licenses are too restrictive, so they do not qualify as free licenses. For example, Open Watcom is nonfree because its license does not allow making a modified version and using it privately. Now, you can't understand this without the history but I don't understand the history. Okay it's been another half an hour or something, and I understand more of the history. You gotta fricking download the binary file from the Watcom submission mailing list post. There's two weird things going on here in my opinion. First, Stallman's referencing a license that is copy-pasted from the Apple Public Source License (with modification, but the clause he's talking about exists in the original). Second, the OSI disagrees with the Debian project, and they're normally on exactly the same page. Like the OSI open source definition is copy-pasted from the Debian definition. I think what happened is that the OSI was just getting going and someone from Apple asked them to approve the Apple license and the OSI was like "woohoo Apple's on board" and then someone realized the Apple license prevented modifications and they asked Apple to change it and that license became the APSL-2 and the first one was un-approved. But in the meantime the Watcom one was approved automatically because it was the same as the Apple one and then it never got updated. But I'm guessing here. I haven't found the Apple discussion in the OSI mailing lists. Let me see. Okay I found it. Apple is asking for it to be included, there is a lot of discussion of compelled distribution of private modification. OSI obviously approves it anyways. Debian does not. http://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-discuss_lists.opensource.org/2001-April/003151.html Debian doesn't approve APSL-2 because of a forced-venue clause or something, not an issue with the updated modification clauses. I *really* need to go to bed.

Too bad Nix is CANCELLED!!! I’m so cynical it’s like a drug. I’d be so good at making a list of all of the bad things and then iterating every thing to see if it’s “bad.” “Eating Fish Alone” Davis is sad. But I’m angry. How dare the Nix guy do the thing that he did with the sponsorship with the company. Except I’m not. I don’t care. But everyone else is angry at him and I get caught up in the chaos and the mob and I don’t want to be. I wish I didn’t feel anything about NixOS but I do. > when I eat with other people I do not take this list out of my wallet.

No, I see it now. At first I would pronounce it "eh-que-ni-mus" ("ni" as in nibble; "mus" to rhyme with fuss) or maybe "nee" as in knee. But I can force myself to pronounce it with 3 schwas as it's transcribed by Oxford's American. Heck you could make the middle one a schwa too. "eh-qeh-neh-mehs" Honestly I probably don't drop to schwa as often as I should when speaking. I want to stress the "ni" but I think that's not a real syllable and it should be "eh-quan-eh-mehs" with the "quan" stressed. Anyways it doesn't matter because no one has used that word this century.

formal English style that is unlike a prose novel published today. I'm having to look up words, probably because Buss is using the English word derived from the French word he's translating. "equanimous"

S. Common-Lisp A. Ruby, Zig B. JavaScript, Lua C. Python D. Rust F. C I don't know. There's a lot of languages that I haven't tried to do meta-programming in, like Java. And of course I have the major issue that I know emacs lisp but not common lisp or scheme.

I have to admit I doubted for a bit. I didn't count on the Oli clutch. I didn't realize Oli was cracked at PVP (clutching dodgebolt and 3rd in battlebox IIRC). My prediction of cracked SOT was not correct because they didn't find the key Fein needed :( And 12 points off 1st individual is almost equally insane.

features that actually inspired a new approach. In particular, it would be easy to get carried away with GUI settings. Settings / config is very difficult to get right, so I'm not committing to anything except that settings will apply immediately. But if I'm making a terminal it would be as natural to use terminal commands for configuration, right?

Like a tree with hundreds of leaves. Unfortunately, it will never be natural to me and I will always prefer collaboration on a unified community and a unified design. This is about Aux. They’ve decided to fork but they don’t know why. They decided to fork for social reasons, and now they’re brainstorming random code changes that they can make in order to justify having a fork. “it will not hurt to have a fork, as a learning opportunity for many” “we could improve on things such as documentation, stabilization, etc. where there are clear pain-points in Nix” “Aux’s decentralized and people-forward nature still gives it a reason to exist” “keeping the project alive alongside Nix isn’t hurting anyone” “Aux could also be a group dedicated to softening some of Nix’s rough edges, like interoperability, documentation, language support, and friendliness to new users. Almost like a dedicated project incubator.” “A large part of this community was the centralization of everything” “For now I think it’s best for us to continue with Aux while trying to guide Nix in the same direction.” “Aux has value either way. maybe it becomes a more organized ‘nix-community’ sort of thing, i don’t know.” “If Aux intentionally tries alternatives, and happens to find one that works a lot better, maybe it will get ported back to Nix” “Flat package structure rather than a hand picked heirarchy, Package requirements” “So like a “beta” version of Nix, where we move fast and break things just to see what sticks?” “it would be cool if Aux was sort of like another OS to NixOS as Pop!_OS is to ubuntu.” “Aux should eventually not depend on anything Nix.” “Aux has value beyond just leadership changes. The discussion on threads in this forum suggesting changes to things that simply stagnated for years in the original Nix ecosystem, which everyone came to accept as the “has always been” situation, was the main reason I was excited about Aux in the first place.”

to create a democratic governance structure. Now, a lot of the French Revolution was unavoidable, like a rubber band that’s been pulled too tight, there’s no easy to dissipate that tension. However, in my opinion, there was one major blunder that increased the chaos of the revolutionary period in France unnecessarily, and that was the decision by the National Constituent Assembly to make its own 1,300 members ineligible for the government organization that it created to replace itself, the Legislative Assembly. This seems noble or reasonable at first—like George Washington refusing to re-run for president. But this meant that the new government in the Legislative Assembly was composed almost entirely of people who were not “on board” with its creation—people who were too unpopular to have been elected 3 years earlier. For some reason my brain has decided to connect these events. Synergy

I was going to post something but I forgot what it was. It was something about my lack of purpose and I don’t even know. I think I was going to say that it’s sometimes hard to tell the difference between hobbies that are used as a distraction from the fact that I’m unfulfilled, and hobbies that are fulfilling. YouTube shorts is almost always a distraction, and social events are almost always fulfilling but there are a lot like watching Twitch or coding or even reading that can be either. I’m distracting myself from micromouse and my social situation recently.

He's not going die, he's cracked at mob PVP, he's cracked at parkour, he's cracked at acting decisive and looting quickly, he's not going to get lost. Oli's running sand so we should be fine, Kara's also played the game before.

Kind of undermines their marketing claims that they are now committed to open source. All the big tech companies have some things that are open source and some things that are not. Oracle's marketing, in an attempt to distance themselves from the Oracle that took Solaris closed source and to attract customers to their hosted Linux offerings, has implied that they are more committed to open source than other vendors ("Oracle has been, and continues to be, fully committed to offering freedom of technology choice") (reading between the lines in their announcement and commitment to OpenELA, a fork of RHEL after the latter started complying with only the letter of the GPL, and not the spirit, they seem to commit to not doing what Redhat did). But the Oracle contributing to open source Oracle Linux is the same Oracle that is still selling closed source Solaris.

Zig, nada. Zig is used by people that like to write code. It's boring. It makes sense. It's like a breath mint. What do you say about a breath mint? "I'd like to pay my compliments to the chef." Of course it has a saturating subtraction operator. Why wouldn't it. Why doesn't every language. It's the simplest thing in the world. Humans invented saturating subtraction hundreds of years before negative numbers. As for underflow, it was never invented, it just emerged fully formed from the silicon.

Edit 49: They're both so good at the game and Feinberg was like toxic before he knew that Hannah was going to end up as his teammate and now they're learning to work together. "Let me help you" Hannah's actually cracked at the game and obviously she couldn't have won with a worse teammate, but she holds her own perfectly well. It's actually really impressive. Like I'm used to Feinberg leading and his teammates kind of following behind.

was kind of live-blogging my decline. But now we've been roughly linear for the last couple of years. It's frustrating because I'm not where I want to be. I just slept for 5 hours and didn't eat dinner. But I am still alive and I'm not about to decline any more. I just miss where I was 8 years ago. But I don't see a path back there. Which is weird, it feels like it should be possible. In a lot of ways the constraints on my life are the same as they were then. I think I'm more ambitious then I was. Like I never would have done something like The Linoleum Club. I had personal projects, but they were personal. The votes or whatever that I got on Khan Academy really felt like a gift. I was able to start and finish and abandon KA projects without feeling like it was anything more than playing a game. (I wanted votes on Terra Magma or Mirgan, but their success didn't define me. I wanted Mirgan to win the KA contest in the way that you want to beat a level in a game, and so I was very happy when I did win. But I would have been proud of Mirgan, maybe not as proud, but pretty proud of it anyway.) I think that changed when I started OJSE. In a way OJSE is similar to a KA game in that it's just something that I did in my spare time because I thought it would be cool if it existed. But it's also hugely different in that I hoped that everyone on Khan Academy would move to OJSE. I wanted to lead a revolution. And The Linoleum Club isn't a revolution against the status quo in the way that OJSE was, but it is very much something that I feel like I'm doing for other people. Because of the nature of the project, I don't get to solve the puzzles. I don't get the experience. The experience is for other people. There's a part of me that still feels bad about not finishing OJSE and not delivering that experience (which is crazy because OJSE is so complete)—when I don't feel bad at all about not finishing Ortal or my Civilization-style game or Looper or any of the many other KA projects that I never finished.

MicroZig wants me to export a struct with a .interrupts field to store my interrupts. Right, fine. If I had to I could lay that struct out in memory with a Hex editor. But I can't an anonymous struct. It has to be struct of type Options. => https://github.com/ZigEmbeddedGroup/microzig/blob/540a52585f0b4448caa772f49e1664f3ad46f987/core/src/start.zig#L70 Or it doesn't compile. So I'm just screwed. I can't use the language. I can't use the library. There are zero examples, because is zero documentation for MicroZig. Zero auto generated docs. There's one example, which I had to ask the microzig maintainer for in the Discord, and it's wrong. It's just wrong. It doesn't compile. So I'm going to sit for the next 45 minutes, I'm going to start a timer and sit for 45 minutes and try to guess where how I can import the Options type.

have to fight the uphill battle of convincing someone else that I’m acting in good faith. It feels disrespectful and humiliating. This is simultaneously about the fact that I use JavaScript on this website and dating. And I’m not doing fingerprinting and I’m not a rapist but if you look at me and your default assumption is that I am or I could be, then I have to defend the fact that I’m not an evil person before I can even be myself. I don’t have to clarify this but I’m going to—this is largely my own problem and I don’t expect people to change to accommodate my sensibilities.

I hadn’t noticed this relationship between the weird and the unknown before. If you don’t understand something it’s weird but there are also things that are just weird despite you understanding them as fully as it is possible to. And so weirdness is great because there’s always the tantalizing feeling that maybe it’s only weird because you don’t understand it yet.

my brain is inventing them.

=> https://www.spacejam.com/1996/index2.html It hasn’t been true since JavaScript was invented. It hasn’t been true since Flash games. It makes me sad because people who believe the “web is for documents” are running around complaining about how bad the web is and how bad web developers are at their jobs and how bad the web standards teams are. And they’ve missed that we’re not trying to make documents anymore. And so people turn off JavaScript in their browser and then complain that websites don’t work. And I can’t even think of a metaphor because there’s no where else that computer users intentionally disable a subsystem that is present on 99% of devices and then complain that developers assume that it exists. And I love simplicity. I think it would be cool if a lot of webpages were just documents. I’ve been a proponent of Gemini, which is made for documents. But I shouldn’t let these people depress me because when someone does make a cool JavaScript game, none of the comments are about how it shouldn’t exist or how it should be a downloadable executable.

6.8% of everyone who has ever lived is alive right now. 1/20th of human history is being written by people alive right now. It's like the opposite feeling from looking up at the stars and thinking how small you are. We have the ability to change things. We're so big.

case of source distributions. My pet peeve with the MIT license is the requirement to distribute a copy of the license text. (This has led to the MIT license becoming the piece of text with the most copies in existence, period.) Along a similar line, there's also the MIT-0 license adopted by AWS.

I’m reading the 990 and I have no idea what a 990 is supposed to look like but this feels crazy. $700,000 documentary.

This is a huge loss because they were a 501(c)(3). The Open Source Collective (OSC) still operates, but as a 501(c)(6). (I can't find a source for why the OSC is a 501(c)(6), from reading Wikipedia, this designation sounds incorrect.) (The Open Source Collective and Open Collective Foundation were both fiscal hosts on the Open Collective Inc (OCI) platform.) There is actually no information about why they're shutting down. In September they announced that they had decided to "pause on accepting new collectives through February 2024" in order to "to accommodate the exponential growth we have experienced" and "continue to provide our services to their highest standard". => https://opencollective.com/foundation/updates/ocf-slow-down-pausing-new-applications-through-feb-2024 In July 2020, the OCI waived its 5% platform fee for the OCF. So OCF was taking a 5% host fee and not paying the OCI—their expenses were only administrative. Granted, they were doing a lot of administrative work. For instance, filing taxes for all of the 600 organizations they hosted, not just themselves. But again, at 5% for each of them you would think it would make sense. Maybe they had too many collectives with low-to-no income that still resulted in paperwork overhead. It's still really weird that they shut down instead of increasing their host fee to 10% like other hosts, or kicking out organizations. Most recent 990, from 2021, so I don’t expect it to be too relevant => https://apps.irs.gov/pub/epostcard/cor/814004928_202112_990_2023051121205973.pdf

just chance or stress. Like I said though, I’ve been avoiding nuts, which was what I thought it was. Man it just hurts.

I might not be doing it well but that’s all I’m trying to do.

The reason for it is simple. As I imagine I've mentioned before, I don't believe in a "true self"—you are only who you are at any given time, and that is subject to change, either because you change yourself or your environment changes you. This means that it's very easy for me to imagine criticism towards someone else as being towards me. I guess this is technically high empathy, but it's more selfish than the way "empathy" is normally used—I may defend someone only because my overactive imagination imagines myself in their place. This is very closely related to another flaw of mine, although with a distinct cause. Namely, I take criticisms of groups that I am in very personally. This is probably the result of a huge ego.

Okay so there's such a thing as government bonds. Basically, you give the government $100 now, they give you $105 in a year. The percent increase is called the yield (5% in this example). The other variable is time. Is the government going to give you your money back in 1 year or 10 years. And other people can issue bonds, not just the government, but "the yield curve" refers to US treasury bonds. So what is it? Well, it's a graph of the yield versus the holding time. See, normally you want your money back sooner—this gives you more flexibility. (You'd rather have $105 in 1 year (5%) than $150 in 10 years (5%). (I'm assuming no compound interest, so this is wrong, but it means I can do the numbers in my head.)) To compensate for this, you normally get a better yield rate if investing for longer periods of time. So instead of getting $150 in ten years, you might get $155 (5.5%). So the yield curve has time on the X axis, and %-return on the Y axis. In 2022, the yield curve inverted. This means that instead of getting better rates for longer amounts of time, you get worse rates. As of writing, the best rates are 2-months (5.5%) and if you give your money away for 10 years, a longer period, you get a worse rate (4.39%). This is like they're playing hot potato with the money. 'yeah I'll take it for 2 years but I don't want to be stuck with your money for 10 years.' Like what; I'll take your money for 10 years and invest it in short term bonds and take the difference I don't know. I'm not an economist so I don't understand why this is happening. I thought it was a fluke resulting from high interest rates in 2022 and expected it to correct itself but it hasn't. I also have no idea what the implications of this are.

*pleading* I just want to feel something. If I ever try to tell you that I’m a good driver, I’m lying.

changing people's minds, you can't hope for that outcome. You have to make your argument as well as you can, and then give the person space. If you've made your arguments well, and if you're right, then the person will eventually change their mind—but they will insist you weren't the reason. They might go do some research themselves to confirm that what you're saying is true, and then the facts will convince them. Maybe the next time they talk to someone else about the issue they won't use a point that you've refuted. Maybe if you talk to them again in a year, they'll deny ever disagreeing with you. But people's minds don't change quickly.

So there would be a free tier, but hopefully 70-80% of MAU would be paying. The consequences to that seem pretty obvious to me. The site would be small and would stay small. So your costs would go down. You could afford to pay a couple of devs. You could look at decreasing the cost or increasing the number of free posts according to your actual costs. You could implement gifting subscriptions either to an individual or to the community like Twitch, or some other sort of "gleaning". Anyone can sign up, anyone can still read posts. This would put you in the "small amount of money from a large amount of people" area. And this has been proven to work because Are.na has been doing it for years (200 free posts, $7/month for unlimited posts, 4 full time employees, 15,000 paying users). (Cohost for contrast is seeing 30,000 monthly active users, <3,000 paying, and they're trying to support 4 full time employees.) The reason I don't foresee Cohost's current plans working out is this line: "the best way for us to make up for our deficit is to have more active users. the best way to have more active users is to make cohost better." I don't even know where to start with this because it's just wrong. 1. more active users will increase costs (on paper this isn't true, but in practice it is). 2. users don't move to a platform because it's better / users will use even a bad platform if there's a reason to. 3. Cohost's primary audience is gay Luddite furries, which is a limited number of potential users. 5. Cohost's UX is already better than every other social media site 6. Cohost's interface is a Tumblr clone which is extremely confusing if you've never used Tumblr before.

costs out of a moral disagreement with Cloudflare's executive team. They're losing 14k a month and their goal is to "bring the deficit down below $10k" (quote taken out of context I'm sorry) and they're spending 5k a month on CDN fees after moving off of a free Cloudflare plan. Someone help me budget this. The kicker is that it was a free Cloudflare plan. Like man you're really sticking it to Cloudflare by not not paying them anymore. Edit (9:08pm): I don't even know if this is up to date; it might not be true anymore. The H1 2023 report showed $10k in hosting/operations costs and expenses of $46k / month.

reference. I've spent a little bit of time trying to figure out what types my own variables should be, but I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out what standard library functions will give me the value with the correct type + ownership + mutability + lifetime semantics. You just end up in these absurd convoluted scenarios where you have an owned mutable `Option`. You want to unwrap it and mutate the value inside it. Well that's obviously `&a.as_mut().unwrap()`. You want to move the ownership of the contained object but not the optional, that's `.take().unwrap()`, you want ownership of the value and the option, that's `.unwrap()`. You want a non-mutable reference to the interior value that's `&a.as_ref().unwrap()`. And here's the thing—I'm not complaining about explicit move semantics or explicit mutability. I'm talking about poor implementation of those semantics. There should be some convention or language feature where I can go from `get()` to `get_mut` without having to go to the documentation and searching for all hashmap methods that return `&mut`, and having that possibility that there is no `get_mut` and it's impossible to do what I want.

limitation. I have a mutable reference to the HashMap—I can remove the entry, mutate it, and re-insert and I know that. But because the HashMap API designer decided that `.get` returns an immutable reference—nothing else matters. It's Java-level OOP. It's encapsulation. I can't mutate the HashMap except for how the HashMap API designer wanted me to. And that's where I think the promise of the "smart compiler" falls apart—the compiler isn't creating the API, it's not figuring out what's allowed. It's figuring out whether I'm following the rules that were set by the Rust standard library designers. And so all the Rust book examples make sense because they're working with integers. But as soon as you touch the standard library, you have to start rotating through 14 different ways to unwrap an optional. I guess what I'm saying is that the Rust compiler is a borrow-checker, not a borrow-solver.

idea how they want things to work.

"you can't be modifying things willy-nilly in safe rust." And then a couple minutes later he points out there's function to get a mutable reference to a HashMap value. The Rust API is just so huge I just can't wrap my brain around it. Like I'm not good at writing Zig. I'm not smarter at writing Zig code. But the way that Zig is designed, I as the programmer have control over what's going on, and so I figured out how to allocate on the stack and so all of my Zig code is 100% stack allocations—I don't allocate anything on the heap at any point. (Even the Zig functions that do allocations take an allocator, so I can allocate space on the stack and create a fixed buffer allocator for them to use.) But I can't do that in Rust because `HashMap` allocates on the heap and that makes the API more complicated. So instead of creating my own constrains, I need to satisfy all of the standard library API constrains.

To be clear, this has 0 end-user effect: the only people that care are Catppuccin port developers.

at it and notice.

to "take over" the SMASH command-input box in order to provide syntax highlighting and auto completion suggestions. Do you know what API already exists for providing syntax highlighting and auto completion? LSP. I hesitate to commit to supporting LSP because SMASH is not a editor. But if that protocol already exists...

just what programming is like all the time.

only support the most basic of commands, and take it as an opportunity to simplify and iron-out the shell interface. And I'll still do that in some ways. But generally, people know how to use POSIX shells, and solutions provided by POSIX are not bad. The question I'm asking myself is not "could it be better," because it can, but "is it possible to deliver the clean and easy to use terminal experience that I want SMASH to deliver, while still supporting these POSIXs features." And I think the answer is yes for a lot of things, like pipes (which I originally didn't intend on supporting). I think there are other places like some of the quoting rules which may get in the way of delivering an intuitive terminal experience, and so I may need to break compatibility in those areas. Bash is a shell scripting language. It's a whole scripting language. And I don't want the SMASH shell to ever support conditionals or turning complete logic or functions, because it detracts from the status quo of the terminal as a command-entry-screen.

You can trust someone without knowing them. If you have to know someone completely in order to trust them, that’s scicopathic like me.

Like I'm a little impressed it can find it. I'm shocked that it can point me to the right line of the multi-line-string. Again, something that is totally obviously possible, but that is non-trival—someone had to decide to make it work.

This is one of the things that's weird about software. For any piece of software, there's a whole class of features that are possible but are often omitted because they're not 100% necessary. And people will say they're "too difficult" but nothing in software is that much more difficult than anything else. What they mean is that these features aren't 100% necessary and aren't trivial, or aren't possible to implement 100% perfectly. And one of the reasons I'm excited about SMASH is because there are a lot of features I can imagine for a terminal that fall into this category today (using the mouse to move the cursor in the prompt or deleting selected text in the prompt or detecting whether to use control+c to copy or kill the program on Linux or automatically quoting paths with spaces or breaking the output for wrapping on spaces or updating aliases/the prompt without closing and restarting the shell or using command for keyboard shortcuts). But at the same time there are features that are completely possible to implement, like command+f, that I'm very hesitant to implement in SMASH because it doesn't fit with SMASH's UI paradigms, in same way that selecting and deleting text isn't in the paradigm of terminal emulators. But I think you have to make a distinction between "doesn't naturally fit into the existing UX paradigm" and "would compromise the UX paradigm." And so I think allowing command+f is the right call, even though it breaks the prompt-focused guarantee. (Where, for example, links being clickable in the output would compromise the text-only output paradigm.)

in your living room. It just doesn't belong. I was flicking through xkcd earlier today, as I do often, and I was thinking about how Randall has put out a lot of comics very consistently, and obviously thinking about this in the context of the Linoleum Club. A lot of the xkcd's are bad, and I think my realization was that, to use the same words as I was using earlier, a lot of the comics don't fit or didn't fit before they were published. And it's obviously easy to look back at XKCD and view it as a comprehensive work, and see that every comic fits because it's there. But some of them I could imagine myself refusing to publish if I was in Randell's shoes because they were too different from the 2,000 comic mean. There are a lot of repetitive sex jokes. #594 is just a single really bad pun. And there are some really good classic comics in that section of XKCD history but I think that's what makes it more brutal. My point is that I would have skipped a day in there. I would have said, "we can't publish #544" because what is it talking about. But Randall didn't, and I don't criticize him for that because on average XKCD is good. So I'm going to shove Alex's puzzle into the Club wholesale, and it's going to be fine, because we can't miss more days and big-picture I'm okay with other people writing puzzles that don't match the tone or difficulty that I would use.

anyone offers. Like you're describing iTunes Match which is a paid subscription, or you can do it with Apple Music, or with Spotify premium, but there's no world where the DOJ forces Apple to do it for free. And then of course the commenter yesterday who wanted to inspect and clean up the "System Storage" section of his phones storage. Like that is not going to happen here buddy. I get it, you want low-level access to your device. It was super cool for me to SSH into my phone when it was Jailbroken. But I think that's going to stay in the realm of Jailbreaking.

> RIP lala.com, my first and favorite music streaming service - bought out by Apple...As if I needed a reason to further resent Apple. There was a comment that was really interesting about how Apple's issue is that it doesn't have good enough relationships with third-party companies, in particular App developers. And that's a big part of how I see Apple. This isn't about Apple vs. consumers, this is about Apple vs third party developers. The browser engine thing is a good example. You can argue all you want that more choice is inherently better for consumers, but I don't think end-users really care. I'm a web developer and I don't really care. So add on to that that I (as a self-admitted Apple fanboy) think that Apple's web browser is the best. And I don't understand what the angle for end-users is. You can make a similar argument for streaming music services or accessories. Garmin feels wronged because they can't make a watch that replies to texts on an iPhone, but I can reply to texts from my iPhone on my Apple Watch, so I don't feel wronged. And even if a Garmin could reply to texts, I would still buy an Apple Watch. And so Apple is causing harm, and it's causing harm to its competitors. (Whether it's anti-competitive or just hurting them by making better products will be decided by the court.) But a lot of the HN comments seem naive in thinking that this lawsuit is about allowing indie developers to access the file system API or something.

scrollback below it. If you have scrollback above and below it, it locks to the bottom. This is weird because how scrolling works is also weird. I think we allow scroll-past-end, and we do auto-scrolling—the big one is that if you enter a command, that input command won't scroll past the top of the screen. If you scroll-past-end, like when you first open a traditional terminal, the prompt is at the top of screen, but it doesn't lock there. If you enter a command with long output, the prompt gets locked to the bottom while you don't scroll down. If you enter a number of commands with short output, then you're auto-scrolled-down (like a normal terminal), while the prompt is locked to the bottom. The difference is that you can then choose to scroll-past-end, just like in an editor with scroll-past-end.

This is a way to implement/achieve one of the implicit goals of SMASH, which is to be such a good pager that you don't need a dedicated pager. Terminal + shell + pager replacement.

And I guess he was doing similar things, and I either didn't know about them or didn't care or dismissed him as looking for attention. It's easy to look at, Mr. Beast, for example, or a youtuber or influencer who's just gotten popular and starts promoting a charity or advertising their charitable donations as them just trying to continue and expand their publicity. Of course these types of people are donating in public because they're people who love attention and they think donating will get them more attention. But because of where Hank and John are, relative to what else is being done on Youtube and what they've done in the past, it looks more genuine to me today. They're not trying to make themselves look good to people that don't know them; they have an established audience. And they've decided to direct that audience to charitable giving rather than towards "hank and john" NFTs.

## Modern Minimalist Software Development Philosophy 1. Release quickly ("rolling release"). 2. Favor code maintainability, in service of 1. 3. Add only essential features, in service of 2. Features lead to complexity, complexity leads to lack of maintainability, lack of maintainability leads to inability to ship fixes, inability to ship fixes allows bugs to thrive.

or calls a read-only function on that variable can introduce a compiler error, by either moving the value out of the variable, or using the variable in a closure with a greater lifetime. It's 100% compile time, so it delivers on the Rust promise in that sense, but it's difficult to reason about the code.

by no means specific to it. You can imagine the same complexities with composing functions in a functional language). Imagine you've been tasked to build a dynamic menu / billing system / ordering system of some sort for a pizza restaurant. You create a Pizza class, which describes a Pizza that the customer might order. It has a size, a price, a list of toppings, methods to ensure that all of the ingredients are in stock, etc. When listing out the menu of available Pizzas, you notice that a huge portion of the menu entries share configuration code describing common dough and cheese options. You, taking the opportunity to DRY your code, create a subclass of Pizza called CheesePizza. This allows you to share the cheese methods and declarations between a large number of your Pizzas. But you can go a step further. A lot of Pizzas have Pepperoni; surely that's a subclass as well. So you can subclass PepperoniPizza from CheesePizza and subclass BBQPizza from Pizza and MeatLoversPizza from PepperoniPizza and so on for every pizza on the menu. A customer then comes in and orders a pepperoni pizza without cheese (as they are lactose intolerant). This isn't a hardcoded class, but your ordering system supports modifications; you can create a PepperoniPizza without cheese. But should you? PepperoniPizza subclasses CheesePizza—the defining feature of which is that it has cheese. Do the methods in CheesePizza work if the pizza doesn't have cheese? Or will they crash your system? What's interesting to me about the problem at this point is that it is totally artificial. It's very clear what the customer wants, and it's not fundamentally difficult to represent in computer memory. If you hadn't done any of your refactoring, it would be very clear how to express this request: a Pizza with pepperoni as its only topping. The solution is to not try to encode data in your type system or class structure or methods or functions or code. If you keep data about the pizza toppings at runtime (or as close to it as possible—you can still hard-code the menu), then your code becomes easier to maintain, despite the fact that it is less modular and uglier. You have every method in the one Pizza class and no method is able to make any assumptions about the underlying data. This is semantic programming. Let your code reflect the semantic complexity of the real-world problem that it is trying to solve. Iterate the options explicitly as data instead of encoding them implicitly as code. A pizza can have any toppings in the real world—it should be able to have any toppings in your code. It's important in modern minimalist software that you avoid this temptation to "simplify the equation" and that you avoid ending up with the most concise, modular, code possible. Many long-lived projects with attentive maintainers fall into this trap. They've been refactored so many times to support the current "menu" that when a customer walks in with a request for a "cheese-free pizza" (or analogous request that the maintainer didn't predict) there's no way to express it and the customer leaves disappointed.

but the language is just so complicated that it would take me hours to understand what's going on. You need to understand not just what a move is, but also whether every single data type in your code implements Copy or not. Optional. Result. Mutex. Cell. And all of them have different behaviors. Mutable reference, shared reference. And how do they interact with one another? I don't know.

perfect knowledge. I'm reading documentation on multi-threaded access of a variable but I don't need multi-threaded access.

jk My Docker container was killed because of tasks happening in a different docker container and Linux OOM Killer on the host is the prime suspect.

could try to convince me that 2 + 2 = 5 for as long as you want and it's not even stubbornness I'm just right. It doesn't mean I'm not miserable.

Python `import sys; sys.stdin.read()` Node: I honestly don't know.

The progression from putting his head down and crying after the 2:51 to "well that's a bit silly." "Like who cares" "I'm not crying bro" "This run sucks man" "I won't even submit it" "I'm kidding I'm kidding" "Season 3 boys" (with profanity in between the things I quoted obviously).

disagree with me I’m either being disingenuous or compromising my morals.

Catppuccin Discord server to a Catppuccin theme being merged into the Serenity OS theme repo was a little over 4 hours.

Edit (:46) we went from Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (GNU/Linux 5.13.4-x86_64-linode146 x86_64) to Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS (GNU/Linux 6.2.9-x86_64-linode160 x86_64)

and we've had several small jumps. And we're not 100% at intelligence, but we're not where we were either. Hofstadter thought that we would invent a method of modeling complex thought and that that computer would be the first computer to solve chess and the first computer to pass the Turing test and the first computer to be conscious. And we've solved chess; we have a computer better at chess than a human, which wasn't the case when GEB the written. And we have a computer (GTP-3 and other LLMs) that can generate text at a human-level (I'm being careful with my wording here, but text generated by GTP-4 is at an adult-human writing-level). And that wasn't the case when GEB was written. (That wasn't the case 3 years ago!) But Hofstadter thought that those problems and AGI (as we would now call it) were the same problems and it's very clear now that they are not.

support PWAs. Edit (Mar 2): I'm also misrepresenting the situation. Firefox requires a third-party extension to support PWAs on desktop.

The problem is that that I'm better at talking about coding than I am at coding.

One of the issues is that React comparison only works with primitive JS object types, which essentially means you have to work entirely with primitive types with React. Or *hard*-commit to something like Immer and never construct objects without it. Maybe Redux is better; I've never used it. It's just a nightmare.
