Hm, I haven’t thought about a Fandom replacement (a bunch of wikis covering mostly unrelated, niche subjects); for something like this, federation would indeed be nice as just a way to have a single user account, search, etc. I still stand by my opinion that a general-purpose encyclopedia should have a single article per subject, and thus not really suitable for federation.

Nah, the language itself should be as simple as possible. Bloating it with endless extensibility and features is exactly what makes Perl a write-only language in many cases and why it is becoming less and less relevant with time.

I agree, but then there’s also some other niceties that come from expression parsers in the language itself (as noted in the article): syntax highlighting, LSP, a more complete AST for editors like helix.

Is OrganicMaps using Nominatim? It seems that Nominatim’s reverse geocoding returns the correct results there: https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/ui/details.html?osmtype=N&osmid=1134851553&class=place

It would be awesome to have an extra external battery that fits in there (ideally it would be discharged before an internal ones, allowing for hotswaps T480-style).

Also, how come there’s still no trackpoint keyboard for either Framework laptop :( This is the last thing holding me back from finally getting one.

I honestly think it can be a lot more readable, especially when the regex would have been in the thousands of characters.

Any self-respecting language (that is, a functional one) has something like this. Here are some libraries: Haskell OCaml elisp

What is the point in federating a wiki this way? The point of an encyclopedia is to have structured and consistent information about everything in one place. This seems to propose a model where rules, formatting, notability/verifiability criteria, quality etc can only be consistent within a single server. Information is spread over multiple servers, creating a rife potential for duplicate articles, difficulties with search, and fracturing of the community (I can easily imagine a dozen articles about every even slightly politically contentious subject).

In other words, to me the point of federation is to allow multiple sets of rules (e.g. moderation rules) to exist within a single space, which seems to be contrary to the basic idea of an encyclopedia. IMHO the better implementation of an encyclopedia is a robust set of rules ensuring that every (notable) viewpoint is represented, and social norms that ensure everyone follows them regardless of their personal biases. Wikipedia is kind of like this, although I understand the frustration due to it often being biased towards a liberal viewpoint (but even then, a wide range of viewpoints is almost always represented).

Hey, in the future it’d be nicer to describe the project while posting something like this. Having to click through just to see what it is can be a bit annoying.

Looks neat, does its job.

If you’re a power-user looking at this, you can also look at https://github.com/rgwood/systemctl-tui which is somewhat similar but seems to be more useful (for now), also showing the service logs and being easily navigable with a keyboard.

Seconded. I’m coming from Emacs (+evil), so I’m still missing a few features (proper git integration a-la magit, collaborative editing a-la crdt.el, remote editing a-la tramp). However what is already there works way better/faster/more consistent than any other editor IMHO, and I’ve tried neovim with plugins too. I particularly enjoy the ability to traverse the AST rather than text (Alt+l/p/o/i by default, but I have it remapped to Alt+h/j/k/l). Really looking forward to https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/pull/8675, I’ll probably write a couple plugins if this ever lands.

I don’t think it’s a win for anyone (apart from Bibi). This just removed an avenue to put pressure on israel, question their genocidal tactics and try to bargain for humanitarian aid to Palestine. Embassies and diplomacy are in fact most important between vastly disagreeing countries.

TBH I think it goes back way further than that: US expansion started of as part of the British expansion, who were probably inspired by Romans. I’m sure there are examples further back in history as well. It’s a pretty easy general idea to come up with if you are unburdened by ethics, empathy or humanity and your only motivation is greed and/or religious zealotry. But yes, parallels with Lebensraum specifically are especially potent.

Looks like their long-term strategy for peace is to deport, imprison or exterminate the (uncivilized, jihadist, subhuman) locals and re-settle with (civilized, devoted, master-race) Israelis. Now, where have I heard this idea before…

This is why I’m kinda excited about WASM. With a WASM backend for GHC, you can now write almost the entire frontend logic in Haskell, with only some minor bindings on the JS side. I really wish that this happens at some point to eliminate the need for JS almost entirely, but I’m not that hopeful anymore.

The notion that prison is only for “housing criminals” is just wrong, and leads to the fucked up legal system you see in the US. Its primary purpose should be reforming someone to become a better person, drop their old ways and rejoin society. The percentage of people who can’t be reformed is vanishingly small if you do it right. And even in those cases, murdering someone just because they require resources to live is wrong. They are still human beings, however fucked up their actions, and deserve life and dignity simply because of that.

Capital punishment is state sanctioned, that is the only difference in my eyes.

No, the main difference is the active and actual threat the person poses. When they are isolated in prison already, they do not pose any further threat.

I don’t think capital punishment (murdering a helpless person in custody) is ever justified. It’s just cruelty for the sake of cruelty.

What we have here could be an act of societal self-defense, where the target was in the process of actively harming millions of people, and the legal system wasn’t doing anything to stop it. Whether or not it was self-defense or just a pre-paid hit for some other reason I can’t say, and neither can I judge whether it was justified or not. I just think it’s categorically different from capital punishment.

What other methods or tricks do you have to navigating build errors

TBH I typically just look through the stack trace (with --show-trace). It can take a while, but usually it leads me down the right path. (and let me tell you, today’s stack traces are a blessing compared to what we had just five-six years ago).

Phone? Nah. It’s only a tool, used for photography, maps/navigation, messaging while on the go, shopping lists and phone calls for that one time a month you need to make one. Maybe other stuff sometimes, like making a bank transfer when not at home or editing OSM.

I used to be indirectly addicted to it. It was actually doomscrolling Reddit, but now that I’m off it I don’t get the urge anymore.

My desktop is a different story, I’m kind of addicted to it while I’m at home; when outside I don’t really miss it.

After trying it out for a while, it is indeed quite awesome!
