I would prefer a single binary and skill over mcp.

yes exactly, pressing space bars to select them. I referred these selection as marks.

I love jj, but mostly I use jjui.

I would like more uniformity in the way jjui handles commands when you are viewing changes vs when you are viewing files within a single change.

Often I just make my changes and leave it there without `new`, as I am not sure which file should go in a single commit. I just leave it there and I interactively commit later.

For me to use `new` more, I would like the ability to also simply be able to get a tree view of all changes, which contains file which contains file changes, so I could can have marks that span multiple changes and then either `split` or `commit` or `squash` the change, idk if there is a good word for it. Right now I can only mark within a single change, and I lose it once I navigate up.

https://github.com/Swoorup/shadml I got tired of lack of functional features in wgsl.

So making a new language that is a mix of haskell and F# that transpiles to wgsl. It has traits, bitfields, adts, module/imports externs to bind to other wgsl. Was born from a fork called fwgsl.

Very early days though.

It will. But humans have eyes, observability, metrics will still need graphs or eye-candy for most people. Though the means of communication might be heavily be based on text.

This smells of regulatory capture.

I would like the native web UI when I am being too lazy, and terminal when I am in the zone..

Does anyone have nix flake for this? I am trying out several window managers after yabai. Aerospace is just laggy sometimes, not sure if it is to do with the events I emitted for it to display nice workspaces in sketchybar.

I might try this later.

A C# dev can't complain, because complexity creates job.

Same, and it's quite obvious. You will get the same government regardless of who you vote for, its controlled opposition design to cushion some of your grievances but policies are set in stone.

The world has been a sad state of affairs since Covid. People in power need more power for themselves, view the world as a zero sum game, use coercion, deceiving, propaganda to achieve their goals, in this case a territorial expansion. Anyone who opposes the means it's currently being carried out is a anti-.... whatever.

Does this always have to be p2p or does it also allow for client server architecture

Imho there are js libraries which goes through the traditional rendering based shader path to emulate general purpose computations on the GPU, gpu.js for example https://gpu.rocks/#/

swoorup — Tue, 27 May 2025 05:48:42 +0000

Nix is great but the user interface is ugly and cryptic. Debugging dependency issues (what depends on this package of particular hash), installing a particular version of a package is just more trouble than something you would get from the likes of npm or cargo.

Would I use nix for my servers? Yes. Would I also use nix personally to keep my systems in sync? Yes. Will I recommend nix to others? Absolutely not.

Unrelated question, but how was the process of getting backed by ycombinator like?

This feels like a pointless issue. At best perhaps establish a good trust model, than blaming the tooling.

How does garbage collection work here? Are they just set of PySM code?
