@prologic Is this in response to Signal having problems? π
@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 βuppβ in βupp{html,xml,css,β¦}β stand for? βppβ references the preprocessor, but the βuβ?\n\nupp = unpreprocessed. Makes sense? π\n\n> Btw, the βmanβ directory in the File Hierarchy section misses the ββ 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 Doesn't you body tell you when it feels tired? π
@prologic How about an app to remind you to go to the toilet?
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 In order: Upwork, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Warframe, Reddit, Three dots?, Bluetooth, NFC, Vibrate?, Wi-Fi, GSM Signal, Battery.
@prologic Not sure about the others, but I personally was aware it! π
@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 Did you drink all of it today?
@vain I don't believe in "shoulds" or "should nots", I believe "is to be preferred" *is to be preferred* π. Or "it's a good idea", or "is recommended".
@prologic Looks pretty cool! Really have to remember it! Starred!
@adi @antonio And rather keep JavaScript on the frontend only as an *optional* layer.
@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.
@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?
I initially found the sh
syntax disgusting, with time I came to enjoy it to be honest.
@ionores Yeah, we've been blessed with cheap high speed Internet, monthly rent cost is pretty accurate. (Romanian here)
@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. π
@prologic It's just a reply, don't think a lot of people saw it π and that guy is great with links!
@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 Good thing I didn't say "You break it you buy it". π
@prologic I remember encountering an Eliza for the first time, fooled me a little bit at first!
@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.
@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.
@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.
@prologic "Consider using Alpine for a more feature rich system or any other βheavierβ / βfull featuredβ distro." π
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 β€οΈ with it if you install it.
@prologic π I'll surely change it when I'll get the chance.
@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.
@deadguy @prologic The Romanian Constitution explicitly forbids forced labor, but that's up to interpretation.
@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.
@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.
