@prologic @hijsi I'm an animal! 😜
@prologic Is this in response to Signal having problems? πŸ˜›
@prologic This is nice.
@sjkelleyjr I wonder if I can get one those also. πŸ˜›
@lyse \n> It took me quite long to wrap my head around on how to use this properly (maybe I was just too tired).\n\nNo sure if problem is my explanation or UNIX thingy. The content is pretty dense.\n\n> What does the β€œupp” in β€œupp{html,xml,css,…}” stand for? β€œpp” references the preprocessor, but the β€œu”?\n\nupp = unpreprocessed. Makes sense? 😁\n\n> Btw, the β€œman” directory in the File Hierarchy section misses the β€œβ€ in the tree.\n\nNice catch!\n\n> A little bit more complex example would certainly also help\n\nhttps://mkws.sh/mkws/HOWTO might add this page up again.=
@antonio Mine is also having difficulties.
@prologic @felixp7 Is there ANY democratic country?
@felixp7 The thread is long. tl;dr?
@niplav What kind of _thinking_?
@prologic Doesn't you body tell you when it feels tired? 😜
@prologic How about an app to remind you to go to the toilet?
Hello @superbil!
@prologic This guy created a repository https://github.com/rvalente/homebrew-mkws. πŸ˜› I have no idea how Homebrew works.
Don't have a Mac to compile on. Would really like, can I rent or get a free preferably Mac vm?
@prologic Still have some people on Facebook, I don't post there, just use the chat. I give Twitter another shot but it's not for me. I wonder why? I wonder why Facebook and Twitter didn't resonate with me. Maybe because it's a popularity contest? Maybe because it's an image thing?
@prologic If you kindnap me and hold me hostage here on https://twtxt.net/, how would I tell the rest of the world?
@sjkelleyjr Is that "Ethical Ads" banner on https://console.substack.com/ and "Ethical Ads" ad or some kind of sponsorship?
@sj
@prologic In order: Upwork, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Warframe, Reddit, Three dots?, Bluetooth, NFC, Vibrate?, Wi-Fi, GSM Signal, Battery.
@prologic Android Screenshot
@prologic Mine display properly.
@prologic Not sure about the others, but I personally was aware it! πŸ˜›
@lyse I believe I'll add a "Templates" section to the main Docs page, have a summary there and link to pp.
@lyse I was considering that also.
@vain I feel you man!
@vain Did you drink all of it today?
New static site generator website https://mkws.sh/ !
@vain I don't believe in "shoulds" or "should nots", I believe "is to be preferred" *is to be preferred* 😜. Or "it's a good idea", or "is recommended".
"Morning!"
@prologic Looks pretty cool! Really have to remember it! Starred!
@prologic I prefer using a combination of https://github.com/hyperhype/hyperscript and https://github.com/Matt-Esch/virtual-dom or something similar as I don't want to do any OOP. I define UI components as functions, renderForm, renderWidget, etc...
@adi @antonio And rather keep JavaScript on the frontend only as an *optional* layer.
@antonio @adi Also, I don't feel any attraction to Rust.
@antonio Last project I worked was frameworkless, small libs, virtual-dom, hyperscript, kinda hard to switch back to frameworks. I feel however attracted to Go, has a kind of a "raw" feeling, don't have much experience with it tho.
@prologic @sjkelleyjr What about this https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jan/06/john-dillermand-denmark-launches-childrens-tv-show-man-giant-penis?
@vain What language/stack are you using now?
@vain You have C, Go for that. Shell scripts are glue mostly.
@vain Haha, why do you say that? Did it happen to you?
Also, I realized Rob Pike stopped tweeting, his last tweet is from 8th of May 2019, https://twitter.com/rob_pike.
I initially found the sh syntax disgusting, with time I came to enjoy it to be honest.
Found this little a gem a while ago http://z3bra.org/pm/, a "simple (borderline stupid) pack manager".
@sjkelleyjr @prologic Well, glad to meet you! 😊
@prologic Vigorously!
@ionores Yeah, we've been blessed with cheap high speed Internet, monthly rent cost is pretty accurate. (Romanian here)
@sjkelleyjr @prologic Pretty cool and in a short amount of time? How much time since you launched?
@antonio I ment some people don't think Bucharest is a nice city to live in, I personally enjoy it. Why oh why do I have a problem with React, "everybody" seems to be doing it. I guess at some point I stopped trying to keep up with the latest and greatest in JavaScript land and haven't abandoned the idea of progressive enhancement. Am I insane? Go fits me pretty well from what I see.
@adi @antonio What tech is hot there at this time in terms of stacks?
@antonio I'm currently located in Bucharest, Romania, also lockdown here, might be over end of summer. I personally enjoy the city, others say it sucks.
@prologic It's 2:35 AM here, I usually wake up around 2 PM, we overlap a lot. Told you I was born to work from home. 😁
@prologic It's just a reply, don't think a lot of people saw it 😝 and that guy is great with links!
@sjkelleyjr @prologic How many pageviews/month do you have on https://console.substack.com/?
@antonio How's SF?
@prologic G’night!
@prologic Silly me, I thought the Conversation button and the hashtag were the same thing, yeah leave it like so.
@prologic Makes more sense to me to link to the Conversation view.
@vain Tuck? πŸ˜•
@prologic I'm asking because I usually find the search view to be incomplete not holding the full conversation when it would make sense that it would. See https://twtxt.net/search?tag=34qplea vs https://twtxt.net/conv/34qplea.
@prologic Why do conversation tags link to https://twtxt.net/search?tag= instead of https://twtxt.net/conv/ ?
@vain Good thing I didn't say "You break it you buy it". πŸ˜›
@prologic I remember encountering an Eliza for the first time, fooled me a little bit at first!
@prologic That's what all bots say! 😝
@prologic @lazarus Don't mind @prologic, he's a bot! πŸ˜›
@adi @prologic Oh, iTunes? πŸ˜€
I think Dua Lipa is really cool.
@prologic Do you go into a music shop and buy some CD-s or how? That's a little bit weird, I just Shazam songs mostly or search YouTube for new music.
Also, been listening and watching the video of Gwen Stefani's new song Let Me Reintroduce Myself.
@prologic I agree, it's very neat technically and very Plan9-ish, I *personally* don't think I'd mount my tabs like that, but I might change my mind.
@prologic I think I was born for work from home. As a side note the recent COVID-19 pandemic reminded me of this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GL9JoH4Sws.
@sjkelleyjr I can't imagine any security issue at this point, not that I'm an expert in security, I just don't want to script my tabs and I usually have few tabs open enough not to warrant scripting.
@vain You break it you fix it!
@sjkelleyjr Congratz! TabFS is pretty cool as a technical implementation, not sure if I'd use it tho.
What's up people?
@vain Cool song!
@prologic "Consider using Alpine for a more feature rich system or any other β€œheavier” / β€œfull featured” distro." πŸ‘… I guess it's a more "feature rich" system compared to ulinux. I run X on OpenBSD and cwm as a simple, clean desktop. I also use their webserver https://man.openbsd.org/httpd.8.
@prologic Simple,** no bloat, "less" but powerful features.
@prologic There's a high change you'll fall in ❀️ with it if you install it.
@prologic Did you play with OpenBSD ever?
@prologic What *other* movie?
@prologic Never used CRUX, looks cool!
@prologic Void Linux is my favorite *GNU* distro.
Considering rewatching Edge of tomorrow now.
Watched The Napoleonic Wars these days, and other history documentaries.
@prologic What distro?
@prologic 😜 I'll surely change it when I'll get the chance.
@prologic Yup, it's a pretty good quality free OpenBSD shell. https://tilde.institute/
@antonio I run https://adi.tilde.institute/. It's pretty cool, admins are friendly, answer package requests.
@prologic @lyxal Morning!
@ionores Yeah, this is the 2nd time for me. I'm surprised by how many things I forgot.
Restarted watching The Blacklist. It was another show I couldn't remember where I left of.
@adi @deadguy @prologic I interpret that as me forcing myself to go to work! πŸ˜„
@deadguy @prologic The Romanian Constitution explicitly forbids forced labor, but that's up to interpretation.
@deadguy @prologic I was under the impression that's dictatorship. πŸ˜›
@deadguy @prologic I'm wondering it that's really work. I'm starting to fall under the impression that *almost* all work is forced work in one way or another.
@vain @prologic I don't necessarily believe the bar is out of scope, believe it's a "soft" programmer decision there. If you prefer something even more stripped down you can take a look at https://github.com/wmutils.
@prologic @vain @adi @deadguy I switched to cwm tho.
@deadguy @prologic @vain But you don't necessarly have to apply the patches.
@vain @adi @prologic This is possible when developing for UNIX because of its philosophy, normally when you're not sure if something is in scope you would just create another program that interacts with the initial one, see dwm and dmenu for instance.
@prologic @vain Just keep the scope focused and refrain from adding features.
@vain @prologic I also read the same article. Very much agreed. It's weird that "done" when it comes to software is the exception and not the rule.
@lyxal @ionores Rewash?
