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 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.


There is a certain sense of "the leopards won't eat my face" that crosses my mind every time someone writes about skills in the age of AI but then inserts generated images.


For anyone like me who didn’t know what this "the leopards won't eat my face" refers to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkeys_voting_for_Christmas#:...


Which only goes to emphasise the point the author makes. Over-reliance on AI, in this case, for image generation.


Seems like AI was leaned on for the text as well…


Given that he's a published author and has been writing publicly for years, I'd love to hear if and how he uses AI for his writing.


But maybe the author manually reviewed every word :)


Where there is AI illustrations today, in the past would be clip art with little relevance to the work.


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.


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!


If you like this you may also be interested in Emmett Chapman's Offset Modal System:

My own take on relating scales geometrically: https://mlochbaum.github.io/BQN-Musician/theory/modulation.h...

It does seem that I include all Chapman's scales (while saying nothing about chords), although oddly enough he's chosen to use the modes of harmonic major but not those of its inversion, harmonic minor?

Edit: In fact I found the second link (first one's pretty vague and wasn't enough for me to follow the diagram) relevant enough that I added a paragraph to point out the connection!


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:

https://hpc.guix.info/blog/2017/10/using-guix-without-being-...

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


But can it pack the whole system? I've been trying to run Guix on my Android for a while without resorting to a full VM. Nix has a custom termux, and lots of distros run under proot under termux[0], but seemingly not Guix.

I think stating it this way gets the history backwards. The live bootstrap came about as a separate implementation of what had been done for Guix earlier. It then became a proving ground for new ideas, which then fed back into Guix.
