I hate matrix so much. Why did we have to go for the worst implementation of chats?

Guix day 1:

I spent most of the day getting comfortable with Guile and the basics of Guix services.

Followed the "perfect hacking setup" manual section (I'm lucky, I'm using Emacs). Geiser is okay-ish, but fails a lot of times (can't jump to definition in g-expressions for instance). Overall, the builtin yasnippets, and paredit are good and useful, geiser fails to jump to definition too many times to be really useful.

I have a fully functional sway/pipewire/xdg-desktop-portal setup. Costed me quite some headaches.

Guix home is super nice and definitely more integrated than home-manager.

I migrated ~60% of my laptop NixOS configuration. The remaining 40% are going to be pretty painful to migrate, Guix is currently lacking some features to do so (writers, secret management). I'll probably have to write the missing features to continue the migration, but I'm not comfortable enough with Guile/Guix to do so yet.

I packaged my first package (power-profiles-daemon) and wrote a service for that.

I really like the Guix service system. A lot more than the NixOS module system.

Tomorrow, I'll have to face my nemesis: mailing-list-powered patches. I'm 6 commits ahead of my Guix channel, it's time to reduce the stack and start cleaning/upstreaming the changes.

I'm not in love with Guile yet. Part of it probably comes from my inexperience, using it is still painful and slows me down a lot.

I hit a massive roadblock at some point: the guile error message was lying to me. I had a module with an error in it, and instead of throwing an error message, Guile was lying to me and telling me I was not loading this module, and giving me a hint explaining me how to load the module. But, I was already loading the module!! Gazlighted by the interpreter :D

Took me a good 2h before realizing the interpreter was lying to me. I need to find a minimal reproducer to send to the email list.

Massive kudos to @ekaitz_zarraga who helped me in the process :)

Okay, so

After spending some time with #typescript, going back to #haskell is a real hard sell, ngl

Getting close to the end of Toki Tori 2 (just a small number of achievements still missing). I'm still very impressed. Fantastic puzzle game that basically came out of nowhere for me. I'm wondering what other great games I've never even heard of.

The only minor complaint I have with the game is that sometimes even if the plan to solve a puzzle becomes clear, the execution can still be tricky, and if that results in having to re-do a significant amount of work it can become frustrating. The checkpoint system is unfortunately done in a way that sometimes you get checkpoints you don't want, which means you can end up saving in a state that's already broken, so you have to go back relatively far.

this is one of those things where in theory it should be easy, but the ecosystem is messy enough that it ends up being difficult.

Take vorbis comments, for example. You can repeat almost any tag! So you can have multiple artists, album artists, and even sort artists. Great!

Except most players (esp. older ones) don't account for this, and will barf in various nasty ways if they see multiple artists.

It's obvious - at the individual level - that taking the train (rather than the plane or car) is the green choice

But something nags at me

How relevant are railways, really, to Europe's green transition?

Without a major increase in modal share (which we're not getting) I worry
