lvass··on Rust in QEMU Roadmap
Clangd just works, and quite nicely, for me in Emacs, didn't even need to install any external package besides clang-tools from my distro's repository. I don't get this argument at all. The dependency management advantage is probably cool until you realize you can basically only trust distro maintainers to provide long term support for dependencies and crates makes it much harder for them, and makes programs less likely to remain secure in the long run. Who's going to fix a heap of Rust abandonware when an exploit is found in their transient dependencies?
lvass··on Furilabs Linux Phone
Is there prior art that includes a removable battery, headphone jack and IP68 at those "reasonable" bounds? I wonder how large the battery could be in that case.

What's the logic behind this?

lvass··on GQL: A New ISO Standard in Graph Query Language
This is the same organization that passed the absolute hack Microsoft lobbied for as an international digital document standard. Never assume anything ISO does has any value, at the risk of locking yourself into some large organization's grift.
lvass··on Endless Censorship Demands from Brazil
Well, it is already unflagged. I don't follow your logic here though, the owner of Twitter isn't an adequate source of judicial orders received by twitter? What's wrong with Greenwald? Are you implying they collided to report something that did not happen? Why would that make sense? If that was the case, that itself would be news, not something to just flag and ignore.
lvass··on Endless Censorship Demands from Brazil
@dang it looks like some political group are clicking on the flag button. Without moderation it's probably for the best, political divisiveness doesn't belong here, but I fail to see how this story is divisive except perhaps the fact it's related to a judge appointed by a president. Consider unflagging it and delete/warn/ban overly political divisive comments.
lvass··on Endless Censorship Demands from Brazil
Probably in order to officially leave the country without causing too much bewilderment. Brazil has very low CPM (~1/10 of US), specially in twitter, high bandwidth cost (~17x of US in 2016) and the laws and justice system imposes a lot of obligations and fines.

lvass··on Microsoft: Laptops with Snapdragon X Elite Will Be Faster Than M3 MacBook Air
I think it's much easier to do if you're abandoning video games entirely, something that would make no sense for windows. The only reason I'd buy a non-amd64 PC is if it's better at running amd64 software than amd64 processors.
lvass··on Ask HN: What does FB gain in making LLAMA free?
>companies with similarly performing models have to compete on price. It's ugly

Wait, why? Efficiency (and thus competition) is beautiful.

lvass··on Ask HN: What does FB gain in making LLAMA free?
>Having thousands of people working on

I get what you mean, but let's just clarify what happens with free software: thousands of people are eligible to contribute hassle-free if they want to, some people help by filing bugs and minor fixes, and maybe sometimes a few people actually contribute great things you wouldn't have managed to do and the software may thus become much better.

lvass··on Tips for linking shell companies to their secret owners
I hosted some online game server once and toxic isn't how I'd describe the issue. The people were all nice and gentle, except this one guy, after I banned him for targeted suicide encouragement, he spent months harassing everyone who ever joined the server until I shut it down. Thankfully we didn't know each other's identities.

So there is a plan.

lvass··on How to actually use the notes you take
Indeed. For Emacs users, there's consult-notes-search-in-all-notes which does that with file previews.
lvass··on Leaving Everything Behind For Elixir [video]
The audience is vastly different, the median computer person used to be far more passionate and got into computing earlier in their life, knowing better who created interesting things and therefore who to look up to. Today people are used to consuming highly image and audio doctored videos and tend to follow whoever spends their time doing that, favored by recommendation algorithms.
lvass··on Ledger
You can get this behavior with --sort d in argument or ledgerrc or setting LEDGER_SORT=d in your environment. Or merge files sorted by date with ledger -f file1 -f file2 --sort d print. I agree the default sorting is quite jarring, but practically every single time if some entry is out of place chronologically, for me it's because I input-ed the wrong date and the default sort makes more sense. The reason I have hledger installed is for check ordereddates.

lvass··on Ledger
I think all these tutorials and showcases showing CLI usage for plaintext accounting kinda miss the mark and ultimately hinders adoption. 99% of the times I interact with ledger is with the same 4 commands. The fact I have the ledger file open in emacs and use these commands from a keybind is what makes the experience great. Trust me, if you need to run some complicated analysis, (h)ledger has your back and you can find how to do it in the docs. Most of the time you don't so just go and start bookkeeping. You need your file populated to see any benefit, and they'll become obvious when you get there.
lvass··on Ledger
My ledger file works in both ledger and hledger, I tend to mostly use ledger as it's worked better within emacs for me. It's very rare that I even have to use the CLI. Ledger's docs are great.
lvass··on A response to "Erlang – overhyped or underestimated" (2010)
Nah, this take would be as bad in 2009 as it is today. I mean, it's evidently clear they can't wrap their head around functional programming, which is absolutely fine, until you jump to generalizing conclusions like this.
lvass··on Systemd by Example (2021)
I concede it's as easy if you're just reading one log from one machine, but what if you're harvesting and/or merging multiple logs from multiple machines? It's much easier to do with simple unix tools and plaintext logs.
lvass··on Managing mutable data in Elixir with Rust
But would it benefit from mutating the value of one reference? At the moment it does not do that, right?
lvass··on Managing mutable data in Elixir with Rust
Have you measured performance? If mutating from Elixir like this can bring serious benefits, maybe there's a place for mutable versions of libraries like Explorer and Nx.

If you're requesting proofs, don't make so many bold statements you cannot prove yourself.
lvass··on Rust wont save us, but its ideas will
Crash on memory issues is the ideal, far better than having to borrow check, if you also get remotely sane crash reports. Manual memory management often leads to faster and simpler programs than RAII/BC, they're just harder to debug on current hardware.

>Microsoft's love of backwards-compatibility

This is like, the primary reason to do this move. Wine has better compatibility for windows software than windows has now in my experience.

lvass··on ElixirNitpicks
I love how pins make it explicit you are not assigning something without having to look at the context. I prefer it being there even if you couldn't shadow a variable.
lvass··on Improving my Emacs experience with completion
You can always use ctags or EIEIO if you must. I've used many LSP servers and haven't come across one that isn't on nixpkgs, I'm curious what ancient system you're running intellij on.
