Ah wayland. Many things changed since the time I've been using Linux in my professional work. However does Wayland support connectivity? I.e. can you display Wayland session on another computer via TCP/UDP? If not then Wayland won't work with wsl2 which is basically a VM
Cu3PO42 · 5 days ago
Not in the same way that X does. However, Microsoft specifically implemented an RDP backend into Weston, which ships with WSL2. So the Linux Windows you see are actually being sent over RDP transparently.

Can you not use the X11 server packaged with WSL as your display driver, and avoid piping this all into the web browser?

Seems very inefficient to have to render everything through the browser

Cu3PO42 · 5 days ago
WSL doesn't have an X Server, it has a Wayland compositor. That said, yes, you can use that. You can even run a different compositor nested so you get one single window with a desktop if you want.

I’m also doing WSL-centric development and I’m not even really gaming on that machine, I just appreciate the comforts that come with competent multi monitor support and reliable wake from sleep.

My biggest frustration with WSL at present is that 1Password won’t properly support proxying their ssh agent into it. (Though in googling it again just now, I see a suggestion to try something called npiperelay, so I’ll spend some time seeing again if I can get that working)

Cu3PO42 · 9 days ago
I can confirm npiperelay does the job just fine.

If you happen to use Nix, I have a quick and easy package at github:Cu3PO42/gleaming-glacier/next#wsl-ssh-agent. Simply install that and 'source $(which wsl-ssh-agent)' in your bashrc and you should be good to go. (There's also a HM module in the Flake.)

Clearly an LLM is not conscious, after all it's just glorified matrix multiplication, right?

Now let me play devil's advocate for just a second. Let's say humanity figures out how to do whole brain simulation. If we could run copies of people's consciousness on a cluster, I would have a hard time arguing that those 'programs' wouldn't process emotion the same way we do.

Now I'm not saying LLMs are there, but I am saying there may be a line and it seems impossible to see.

My dotfiles are public [0], but getting there was work. I went through everyhing to make sure I don't accidentally leak something, all secrets are managed separately, you don't accidentally distribute something violating its licence, etc.

I also feel the need to write docs for some things, that I never would if they were private (I haven't actually done that, I just feel that I should).

I get everyone who wants to keep them private, but I'm also thankful for everyone who made them public so others can learn from them.

Cu3PO42 commented on Why I'm Leaving NixOS After a Year?   rugu.dev/en/blog/leaving-... · Posted by u/kugurerdem
Cu3PO42 · 24 days ago
For me, my computer is a tool that I need to just work. Therefore I understand the frustration of occasionally fighting Nix to get things to work right.

For the same reason, I don't think I will ever move off of Nix again. Once something works, it works reproducibly. I can always go back to a known-good state if I break something. This gives me freedom to experiment that I would otherwise not permit myself for fear of breaking an important workflow.

> It is different from Prettier in that it is much more configurable

I only tried it briefly but found it was waaay to lenient with the amount of variance in style it left unchanged (eg line breaks for function parameters) - can it get configured to produce consistent formatting like prettier ?

Cu3PO42 · a month ago
It can be configured to be much more aggressive with formatting, but I'm not certain if you can force it to produce the exact same output for any possible whitespace in the input.

Since you mention great CLI - is there a CLI tool that is free/cross platform that works like prettier ? I found https://csharpier.com/ but have never heard of anyone using it.

Also not sure how it works with linters like roslynator or stylecop ?

This is something I miss very much when coming back from TS, other languages also have better formatters. C# is very tied to editors/IDEs which is a nightmare in teams where some people use vs/vs code/rider

Cu3PO42 · a month ago
dotnet format [0] exists and is maintained by the .NET team. It is different from Prettier in that it is much more configurable, but it gets the job done for us. It does integrate language services and can automatically apply code fixes for custom analyzers. I have not explicitly tried roslynator or stylecop, but I suspect this would work as expected.

You could take a look at guix [1], it's very much like nix, but is available as a package manager for other distros.

Cu3PO42 · a month ago
Guix is also a great project and I don't want to dissuade anyone from using it, but Nix can also be used as a package manager only.

> I was able to (manually) get it down to ~800LOC without losing any important functionality.

This is funny. Why would you a) care how many LOC it generated and b) bother injecting tedious, manual process into something otherwise fully automated?

Cu3PO42 · a month ago
I care about the complexity because I want/need to maintain the code down the line. I find it much easier to maintain shorter, simpler code than long, complex code.

Also because it was an experiment. I wanted to see how it would do and how reasonable the code it wrote was.
