FTR, I see one (two) issues with PyQt6, sadly:

1. The PyQt6 docs appear to be mostly auto-generated from the C++ docs. And they contain many errors or broken examples (due to the auto-conversion). I found this relatively unpleasent to work with.
2. (Until Python *finally* gets rid of the Global Interpreter Lock *properly*, it’s not really suited for GUI programs anyway – in my opinion. You can’t offload anything to a second thread, because the whole program is still single-threaded. This would have made my fractal rendering program impossible, for example.)

@prologic Hm, same startup delay. (Go is not an option for me anyway.)

It’s hard to tell why all this is so slow. Maybe in this particular case it has something to do with fonts: strace shows the program loading the fontconfig configs *several times*, and that takes up a bulk of the startup time. 🤔 (Qt6 or Java don’t do that, but they’re still slow to start up – for other reasons, apparently.)

To be fair, it’s “just” the initial program startup (with warm I/O caches). Once it’s running, it’s fine. All toolkits I’ve tried are. But I don’t want to accept such delays, not in the year 2025. 😅 Imagine every terminal window needing half a second to appear on the screen … nah, man.

Be it Java with Swing or PyQt6, it takes ~300 ms until a basic window with a treeview and a listbox appears. That is a very noticeable delay.

Is it unrealistic to expect faster startup times these days? 🤔

Once the program is running, a new *second* window (in the same process) appears very quickly. So it’s all just the initialization stuff that takes so long. I could, of course, do what “fat” programs have done for ages: Pre-launch the process during boot, windowless. But I was hoping that this wasn’t needed. 😞 (And it’s a bad model anyway. When the main process crashes, all windows crash with it.)~

#Menestrel é uma nova tag mensal para celebrar a música em suas formas mais conceituais: os álbuns. E para abrir com chave de ouro, estreia-se com o tema #debut - que mais?

É suposto ser sobre "os primeiros trabalhos de seus artistas favoritos", mas eu quis não só escolher isso, como também um album que, lá por ser o debut da banda, não deixa de mostrar o melhor que a banda tem para oferecer.

Não é que os álbums que se seguem na discografia de Ashram sejam menos excelentes que este "Ashram" (sim, é um self-titled - e quem sabe se #selftitled não é um tema de um próximo menestrel...), mas este, lá por ser o primeiro, não fica nada atrás em excelência... e é provavelmente o que eu ouço mais vezes, talvez por ser também o álbum com o qual conheci a banda - e o único que tinha para ouvir até sair o próximo...

Na foto mostro o album na sua re-edição em digipak (limitada a 1000 unidades), com a qual substitui a edição original em jewel case, porque esta tem uma faixa extra (Fourth).

Uma edição mais recente (de 2013) também com esta faixa ainda existe em stock na editora*, aproveitem!

Mas que é isso, Ashram? Bem, Ashram é um trio Italiano de música neoclássica, e em vez de os descrever... ouçam! O disco começa assim:

For those curious, the new Twtxt <-> ActivityPub bridge I'm building (_bidirectional_) simply requires three things:

1. You register your Twtxt feed to the bridge: https://bridge.twtxt.net
2. You verify that you in fact own/control the feed by putting the verification code somewhere on/in your feed (_doesn't matter where or how_)
3. You proxy/forward requests for /.well-known/webfinger to the Bridge bridge.twtxt.net.
