I’ll open a PR to submit these changes upstream, but since my changes are so sweeping, I don’t expect they’ll be accepted any time soon. However, if you’d like to give this a try with asdf, you can use my changes to the asdf-php plugin by adding the plugin like this:
In a +1 score to #Perl's great back-compatibility, I've had a script called from procmail that's been 100% reliable for the past 15 years maintaining my email, over many years of regular Perl updates.
@pjakobs I mainly manage different #Perl versions with #asdf (https://asdf-vm.com) to test code that has to run in less upgradeable environments elsewhere. $work, for example, susbscribes to #Canonical's #Ubuntu Pro so we're on Perl v5.34.0 of their 22.04 LTS #Linux distribution (“#Jammy Jellyfish”).
But like @leonerd, personal stuff is on the latest.
@philsplace@b0rk I’m fancy so I have it in my #Powerlevel10k prompt and #iTerm2 status bar. Should probably omit some items from the former when it detects I'm using the latter.
(The other noise is from the #direnv environment loader and #asdf runtime version manager.)
My favourite dev tool, rtx, has been renamed to mise and now has plenty of documentation. If you're looking for an alternative to pyenv and asdf that doesn't ruin your environment with shims, and also one that can create virtualenvs automatically on the fly and manage environment variables, check it out!
#commonLisp#ASDF#ASDF3#Mastoquestions#programming hey so how am I meant to know what got :mix'ed into a package as by #'uiop:define-package programmatically?
I'm using :class :package-inferred-system anyway, so I'm referring to packages by identifying the file they are identified with in a given system: Am I meant to just open the file, and then #'ASSOC :mix in (cddr (read)) ?
@BrownianMotion@nixCraft@homebrew Another reason is if you have a project with #shell scripts and you use something like #asdf (https://asdf-vm.com) to specify its dependency on a particular version so you and your collaborators are all using the same tools.
Hello, the past few weeks i have been a little stressed. I tried to meditate but most generic techniques dont work for me, do you have any that worked?
Hi, late to this but like the heptapods say in Arrival there is no time, so if this helps :
tldr: try lots, repeat one you like, expect nothing
I tried many meditation things right before my adult diagnosis, I’d say they all helped
tldr most of them are : 1. quietly pay attention to your breath in your nose 2. notice you started paying attention to something else 3. return your attention to your breath (repeat 2,3,2,3…)
I’ve heard no meditation “works” right away or is easy to notice, like meds or a sugar soda, it’s quiet, you can’t tell it did anything
specifically: started w a very short guided one, any “3 minute meditation deepak chopra” is more or less the same, here is one : m.youtube.com/watch?v=Io5r7U6CR_o
tried several til found one I liked, it called it a simple meditative “procedure” so, like at a doctor’s, I just did what the calm nice expert said to do
I liked it so it was easy to repeat repeat repeat . If I didn’t like it, it would have been a chore :(
they say everyone’s always meditating “wrong” , when you lose focus you just suddenly realize you were off in a story, I’d used to get mad at myself for Doing It Wrong but slowwwwly got past the annoying extra chore of blaming myself, took foreeeever
not forever. after ~1y I tried a ten day silent meditation camp, “Vipassana”, key part SILENT. TEN DAYS OF NO ONE SPEAKING OR EXPECTING SOCIAL CONTACT FROM YOU, INCL EYE CONTACT. the teacher talks 3x/day to show you how but that’s it. nope not my crappy loud demanding phone either. ABSOLUTE BLISS.
I think for n-typicals Vipassana is extreme. I’d never call it easy, it’s WORK, it’s boring and stupid, irritating, cold, and lonely.
but it was not a waste of time. honestly as intense as LSD or shrooms I had years ago. You go so far out into this … place, and … it’s different for everyone. but for me instead of brain being the usual loud noise :
So. 2y later, do 3 min every day, no guru, no guide, just my brain who in the 80s they made take a short bus to a special class once a week, who never made friends, who always felt so ashamed, angry, cried over how weird I was. AND I have adhd (obv) and take meds and NO meditation is not a cure for anything and it’s ALWAYS boring and stupid and I can’t FEEL it or PROVE it and I’m always, always doing it wrong.
I am now finally looking at ASDF and the "package-inferred-system" extension ( thank you @screwtape )
Starting with release 3.1.2, ASDF supports a one-package-per-file style of programming, in which each file is its own system, and dependencies are deduced from the defpackage form or its variant, uiop:define-package.
I have a feeling that Quicklisp slowly fades away into an unmaintained state. While still being the CL library manager & the CL online package library.
I believe there is an incredible amount of manual work invovled to keep it barely going.
Should we try to reform and renovate #Quicklisp and move it to a point where it appears to be a modern package manager & repository like any other language offers?
I probably sound heretic. I just feel that Quicklisp is an unopened treasure trove and vital to #CommonLisp 's adoption.
I started my show and tell at work yesterday with: “Every company has a crazy person talking about #Nix. I never imagine that one day I would be that person but here we are.”
I gave a quick demo how I could nix develop into a controlled reproducible development environment for one of our projects. Not sure if any of it stuck, but people will have at least seen it once now.
Advice on mindfulness?
