Informal, casual, friendly

In a blog post it makes the author sound foreign at best and uneducated at worst, with sloppy being halfway in between.

For "something that is published" (which includes a comment like this) I clearly dislike it too, but for chatting / texting, I realize that I often use it more than my interlocutors, and I'm not sure why. There's a part of lazyness I guess, but also a vague sense of "conveying the impression of a never ending stream of communication", which is closer in my mind to the essence of the chat medium. In French, there is also the additional layer of "using the accents or not".

I always start my texts with a capital, but I don't put periods at the ends of my sentences when texting

that way I can continue the same sentence in the next message if necessary

And if I need to start a new sentence I start that message with a capital.

Hm, I'm not actually sure that this is better than Sonnet 4. It doesn't seem to actually perform any better? I'd like to know what other people think of the newer Sonnet.

Should be possible with optimised models, just drop all "generic" stuff and focus on coding performance.

There's no reason for a coding model to contain all of ao3 and wikipedia =)

But... but... I need my coding model to be able to write fanfiction in the comments...

I believe it's a ban on executing any runtime-generated or downloaded machine code, not just JIT in particular.

Then how is iSH allowed on the app store?

Termux is also an excellent solution for downloading videos from YouTube and similar sites, due to the fact that yt-dlp works really well (and using mobile data makes it easier to avoid IP bans, most of the time anyway).
MarsIronPI · 7 days ago
If you disable SELinux, I believe you can also set up the MPV app to use Termux's yt-dlp executable.

In iOS we can only use something like ish.app which emulates x86 and runs full Linux distro instead, with predictably much lower performance than Termux (due to JIT being banned in iOS apps), but without any restrictions Android has on the executables

Why does Apple ban JIT? It clearly doesn't ban emulation inherently, so why is emulation OK but not JIT?

Does anyone know of an X server or Wayland compositor app for Android that gives each window its own Android window (or whatever they're called on Android)? IMO that'd mix perfectly with Termux for GUI apps.

Yes, I know Termux-X11 exists but that app is a single Android window (again, I'm not sure if that's the right term) for all X windows. I'm wondering if there's an app that creates an Android window for each X window.

Mostly, the DSL in Guix has the syntax of (field value), I don't really see the problem with them. There are some more complex DSLs relating to service/package modification but those tend to take imperative code blocks. IMO the most difficult it gets are g-expressions, which are quasiquoting for the Guix daemon.

Eh, I think it's that with Nixlang one can write

  foo.bar = true;
as a shorthand for

  foo = { bar = true; };
which makes deeply-nested options much easier to write out. In general Nix looks a lot more like a config file to me.

Instead, put up with a flavor of Scheme that looks suspiciously like Nix with some extra parentheses...
MarsIronPI · 8 days ago
What? From what I've seen Nix configs and Guix configs look nothing alike in terms of structure. Guix uses Scheme modules whereas Nix modules are just fancy dicts merged together lazily. Which is sad because I like Lisps but I prefer the Nix way of structuring the config.
