What language has a space preceding commas?

rekado · a month ago

Chinese. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_punctuation

Chinese uses different symbols for punctuation and the comma in particular is surrounded by padding.

I'm actually more interested in the Niri "A scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor". It never occurred to me that a valid desktop/windowing paradigm would be one with an infinite horizontal strip. Not sure if I want it, but it's pretty unique.

I'm using it on Guix via the Rosenthal channel: https://codeberg.org/hako/rosenthal.git

I quite like it because it's more predictable than automatic tiling window managers and generally less work than manual tilers. (I've used tilers since maybe 2010 with xmonad.)

I really dislike the cartoons, because they are carelessly generated images. On the first look they appear to be actual cartoons (you know, where details were deliberately placed to convey meaning), but the more you look the more confusing they get because it seems that most details here are accidental.

To me bad illustrations are worse than no illustrations. They also reflect poorly on the author, so I'm much less inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt, and probably end up dismissing their prose.

I tried Niri, but couldn't figure out how to get good enough support for X programs. Specifically I had issues with the clipboard, I couldn't copy passwords from 1Password (X) and paste them into Firefox (Wayland). Niri doesn't seem interested in having built-in first class support for X and I'm not interested in maintaining it for myself either.

It is documented here: https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/wiki/Xwayland I use xwayland-satellite (for Emacs) and I can copy text in Emacs to a terminal running on Wayland.

Guix has stripped away the biggest plus from NixOS: the module system and replaced it with a half assed system

rekado · a year ago

In all those years working on and playing with free software, I still cannot understand the incessant need for badmouthing other projects and calling things "half-assed". What a destructive habit!

I mean I also don't give my son caffeine (because he's 2) so this seems like a reasonable assumption.

Teenagers stay up too late anyway so I'd say this sort of thing would be a good way to hopefully reduce the effects of sleep deprivation.

rekado · a year ago

Teenagers have to get up too early. Teenagers experience a shift in their circadian rhythm and also require more sleep than before puberty. School schedules do not account for this shift.

`guix pack` can create bundles that use a static proot to make them relocatable:

It also supports other more performant ways, but in some situations proot is the best choice.
