I use Regolith Desktop packages to run Sway with Gnome. It's basically i3/Sway + Gnome settings, and works really well. I get the benefit of a sane DE (Sway) and somewhat easier settings and defaults

I highly recommend regolith as well, even though the Sway session has never worked without issues for me yet. X11 is very stable.

Have been using proto mail for a few years now and highly recommend it. You will ever have a cute @pm.me address!

Anna Karenina. Nothing mind-blowing. I didn't see a light in the sky.

I read a lot, fiction and non-fiction. When I read Tolstoy, I remember thinking "What sort of dark magic is this?" He drew characters in a way I haven't seen since. I _knew_ these people.

I remember this book, decades later. I remember a lot of what I've read, but Tolstoy was the man. I have no idea how or why his magic worked.

Anna Karenina is a masterpiece of a novel. I highly recommend it as well.

I often jokingly mention that this is the first book that ever made me want to get married. While many now that the novel describes the tragic life and relationships of Anna, only those that read it will now that here is another, as important and positive story, about the love between Kitty and Levin.

Not a Lisp, but also an interesting take on a functional programming language that transpiles to Python is Coconut (https://coconut-lang.org/).

I'd be seriously interested in hearing from people that have actually used any of these two and what their experience was.

Very cool! How does the optimized Pytoch code compare to the Jax implementation?

This lookes well made and based on the great beartype. I wonder if there are packages that use this and if one could imagine a similarity interfunctioning ecosystem for Python as Julia seems to have.

I highly recommend "mapy.cz", another free, ad free, offline map app. I used it for a longer hike in Slovenia this summer and was amazed that it included all of the hiking trails we encountered in the area.

We were hiking the Slovenian Mountain Trail. What a beauty!

Tried to get it to summarize this comment page on hacker news, but the output seems to refer to another document.

Any chance that the TeXmacs format could be supported by Pandoc?
