I appreciate this. It’s a good overview of what it means to be a productive part of a larger context.

I prefer the terms “throughput” for “worker productivity” and “latency” for “work-unit productivity” but I can see why they chose to use their terms.

I’ve always thought it was weird how there are two media properties involving genderless gem people.

(the other is Land of the Lustrous)

Great article, thank you for sharing.

Swift was developed by a lot of former C++ committee members, and in C++ circles they’ve been advocating for it as a “successor language” for quite some time.

This could definitely be confusing if you don’t have that context, but making Swift useful for this kind of project has been an explicit goal of the Swift developers for years.

I don’t know the details of the situation in Poland, but Poland does have an 87% home ownership rate.

There’s also a whole industry of ex-Googlers reimplementing Google tooling as SaaS services to sell to other ex-Googlers at other companies.

There’s even a lookup table: https://github.com/jhuangtw/xg2xg

(some of those are open source projects, some are SaaS services)

I haven’t tried this, but if you just need the parent to call waitpid on the child’s pid then you should be able to do that by attaching to the process via gdb, breaking, and then manually invoking waitpid and continuing.

Inbox for me. I still manage my email the way that Inbox taught me to do it, but it just isn’t the same.

Today, I wanted to make a module for my AwesomeWM status bar

It’s great when simple tools let you extend them like this. It may be kinda hacky sometimes but oftentimes a small, tightly-scoped extension that you develop for yourself can give you a lot of value.

No matter where you go, everyone’s connected.

I hope you’re on a long LTS release my friend

100% equals one full core. Higher numbers are possible for multithreaded processes.

My favorite has always been crunch bars. So good.

Coffee crisps and ketchup chips are the two things I always buy when I’m in Canada. I wish we had them in the States.

I never quite got over how the Aiel look Irish, have fantasy-Arab/Berber culture, and eat Native American food. And I read the entire series!

I can’t even think of a sadder drink than that.

I felt the same way about running until I started getting into triathlons. Watch out for that trap; races are at least $200 each, and road bikes ain’t cheap!

If Beehaw were to remove federation, then it would no longer be part of the Fediverse. I would be sad to see it go, but I am only interested in the Fediverse.

Does Nix have Guix-style grafts? I know that in theory that is how Guix lessens the minor-update-to-core dependency problem. But I only use Guix for dev environments so I don’t know how well it works in practice.
