quite happy with having come up with this recursive template trick to calculate the sum of a particular field of a struct array at compile time

@gsuberland one of the few good things about C++ is it does genuinely feel satisfying to come up with these things

instead of talking so much about what flakes are for, maybe we should talk more about what they do, because it's actually very little. flakes DO the following:

  • manage a single, top-level lockfile
  • force a specific entry point for a Nix expression
  • change the CLI syntax you use
  • turn on "pure eval" mode by default
  • make you git track your files (for git repo flakes)

those are the actual things that flakes effect to Nix code

Very glad that we can finally publicly share something we've been working on for a while: https://lix.systems/

It's still a pre-release and we're still setting things up, so this isn't an Official Announcement or anything, but it's public now ๐ŸŽ‰

blinkblinks there seems to not be any tool that can perform a 3-way diff on arbitrary files and display them in a side-by-side view??

there are complex merge tools certainly, but nothing to just make the output of diff3 (or even git diff A base B)??

is our search engine fu bork or is this really a missing niche??

How to install DXVK on Wine:

  1. Copy x64 DLLs to System32.
  2. Copy x32 DLLs to SysWOW64.

What. Why?!

If not https://chaos.social/@Qyriad/112267726747952634, does anyone have the sequence of words that translate LESS_TERMCAP highlighting into Neo/vim syntax highlighting?

@Qyriad@chaos.social avatar

I like the thing where starting a message with @example makes it ambiguous if you started the sentence with a capital letter or not

Qyriad, to vim
@Qyriad@chaos.social avatar

does anyone have the sequence of words that make <C-u> and <C-d> in less (or moar) and neo/vim jump up and down by a specific proportion of the viewport hight

I'm generally a fan of ${} for string interpolation in languages, just because it's easy to type, hard to miss, and rarely something you want to type literally in your strings

That is, unless you happen to be embedding bash scripts in your strings

The thing Nix does literally all the time

I feel like there was maybe a suboptimal choice here

It is done. 130 1/2 hours later. What an incredible adventure. I'm happy, relieved, and sad. Going to need a little space before even thinking about another long game. I've got about 2 months to play some palette cleansers until my pre-order for Shin Megami Tensai V: Vengeance arrives!

regular reminder that build system code is code and should be held to the same standards as other code in the repo

I honestly really approve of Meson basically just special casing everything. what is its type system? idk! but dependency() returns a "dependency object" that has X Y and Z methods. there are no fields, only methods

build options and only those can be a special "feature" type that can be set to "auto" which specifically when passed to dependency()'s "required" kwarg is schrรถdinger's boolean

These are Good aspects in a build system. Builds are fucking cursed. You need this shit to get by.

Qyriad,
@Qyriad@chaos.social avatar

range() returns an opaque object that has no methods at all, but specifically when used in a foreach loop, makes it loop that many times (like python's range())

it's only there to be able to write the specific syntax foreach i : range(start, stop, step)

that's great honestly

for build systems, general purpose programming tools aren't enough. don't waste your time on them.
