Developer. I like functional programming, :lisp: lisp and :copyleft: free software movement. I extensively use :guix: Guix as OS and :emacs: Emacs in pair with :orgmode: orgmode. My personal computing is based mostly on libre software.

I do web backends at work and use proprietary software there on my :debian: / :gentoo: / :guix: systems. If you have libre or open software related work, you can pm me.

I have 2nd account for non-IT content:

@ Was waiting 2k EUR on https://opencollective.com/rde page to get virtual card we can use for covering infrastructure costs.

@ 51 EUR left.

@ Reading the 2 hours old message from OpenCollectiveEurope that they close virtual cards program ><

@abcdw I hope donated money are fine :)

Btw it would be nice to read or hear how opencollective works, what is your experience with this donating platform.

It is still a shame, that it looks like there is no similar donation service for crypto currencies, they would be much easier to control than fiat money, no 3rd party involved.

One of the most useful extensions for Firefox (actually LibreWolf) is Sidebery. Finally I can decrease a mess of tabs and make them structured.

There are a lot of features, but most useful are:

  • Rules for automatically moving tabs into "panels" (a grouping mechanism similiar to workspaces).
  • Foldeable tree view.
  • Rules for openning tabs in specific containers (combines well with container proxy and multi-account).
  • Integration with bookmarks.

@abcdw I've used something similar. Horizontal tab bar isn't useful at all.

Made 2nd account for posting stuff on different topics. Current mastodon account I will use for posting mostly Libre software and programming things.

I do this because I have a feeling that my followers might be annoyed by posts in another languages and not-related to IT topics. The instance is called fosstodon, so I guess it is a good idea to post stuff related to FOSS.

I encourage you to follow me here, if you are kinda interested in not only software, but my life:

@drewdevault that's why eu kinda sucks. I like when there is almost no bureaucracy, but it is very rare to find such a country I guess.

Russia plans to ban crypto entirely except approved mining pools and crypto-ruble I think. I dunno how, but government makes everything to not to return there.

@dettlaff Уже не первый раз вижу, что условные анархисты в федивёрсе частенько прибегают к силе, рандомным обвинениям, охоте на ведьм. А ведь основа всего наоборот солидарность, понимание, возможность придти к общему началу / консенсусу.

Чел тригернулся на какую-то мелочь. Судя по дискуссии проблема системная + банить весь инстанс из-за одного человека это не очень разумно.

Анархизм это чисто созидательная вещь, а не разрушительная, грустно видеть столько бесполезной ненависти на ровном месте.

@dettlaff Хотя возможно человека ты задел оскорблениями, переходами на личность. Часть дискуссии я так понял удалена.

По-моему там не так много правил, которые не были нарушены на его же инстансе

The only desktop environment where with gtk toolkit does not look strange.

It is NsCDE and I like it so far.

When I was using GNU for a long time I had many situation when I needed to install software as fast as it possible or I just wanted to try it out first before packaging. It is not easy task to do in Guix because it doesn't followed atm FHS standard.

For such situations I had several chroot environment with different distributions that I was logging in to use one application or another. And I think right now, is it a good idea to make something like guix chroot debian -- apt install

Пришёл мой Google Pixel 3a с Ebay. Доставка напрямую работает, никаких проблем с таможней не было, доставили прямо до квартиры. Буду пользоваться ещё наверное Ebay / Amazon.

Сравню с опытом доставки через сторонние сервисы. Там дешевле конечно, но ощущение такое, что там и гемора сильно больше может быть.

What are programming language in widespread use today that:

  1. have declared types, but
  2. types are only checked at runtime, no static type checking?

I believe you can make Racket do this, and it’s an idiom with old Scheme roots. I think? And don’t some dependently typed languages resort to runtime checks when static proofs aren’t possible?…but I’m looking for no static types, runtime checks only.

@Girgias php would be much nicer with strong typing by default and optional weak typing (dunno who would use, but whatever)

@itsjoshbruce @inthehands @ramsey @Crell

w96k,
@w96k@fosstodon.org avatar

@Girgias agree about last paragraph. All code I see uses declare strict types thing and writing that everytime is very annoying, just saying that it would be nice to have strict types turned on by default and weak types explicitly like strict types.

Speaking of engines and frameworks and whatever, something I've noticed with a lot of projects is that they love to advertise themselves as being:

  • simple
  • powerful
  • flexible
  • modern

The fun part about all of those words is that they mean absolutely nothing.

Finally built a Guix image for visionfive2. 1 Gbit eth0 doesn't work yet and only half of the memory is detected, but it's already possible to write it to a flash drive and get a working system.

@fd9a do you use visionfive as a daily driver? Is it possible to do all computing work on that machine? Does it has any cons?
