> Do you mean isolating build scripts by using a VFS mapped to the real FS and masking away everything the build script should not have access to? Yes. Essentially the idea was to find the source control root (or something configurable)

by grayrest 28d ago
I had the idea of achieving build isolation by codemodding the Rust implementations of bash and the GNU coreutils (brush+uutils) to use a VFS (wasmtime's cap-std) backed by the real FS and then disabling anything that remained problema

For an even more niche language, Roc basically became usable in the new syntax about two months ago (still has compiler crashes, there's a good reason it hasn't had a real release) but Opus writes it just fine after a couple corre

I noticed this as well and the question caused me to go pretty deep into writing in general. Switched to a 36 key ergo split with a tweaked alpha-thumb layout (R is on my left thumb, Space is on the right, base layout is Hands Down Vibraniu

There isn't much in the way of libraries for Roc at the moment so the split is basically library vs application for my platform. I've been in the Zulip since well before the split but I've been waiting for the new version asi

One of the primary goals for the Roc project is compiler speed. I presume OCaml is out of the running because it's not a systems language.

The thing that interests me the most is that execution is deterministic. If the inputs to a WASM module are logged you get durable execution and rr style reverse debugging as part of the package.

I'm particularly delighted that the fold is unique; I've never seen anything similar. Thanks for sharing; this is the sort of thing I look for on the Internet.

This depends on the metro. NYC generally doesn't care for the trains/subways so they only make a difference on buses.

I ride a Reise & Mueller Birdy Mk3 mostly because I think folding bikes are neat and the Birdy has my favorite fold. The other rationale was that I wanted a nice bike I'd never have to lock up outside in NYC. The intention was to u

I map caps to ctrl and do ctrl-[ to get to normal mode. The main reason is using Vim bindings in other editors where Esc can get intercepted by other bindings but ctrl-[ has always worked everywhere.

Rich Hickey had nothing to do with it. He did put a lot of the initial work to get Clojurescript up and running but for many years the majority of cljs maintenance and shepherding was done by David Nolan. Not sure now; I've been out of

I have a Chocofi (36 key, 3x5 + 3 thumb per half). My complaint with the Cornes is that the keyboard doesn't have enough stagger for where they thumb cluster is positioned. Either the thumb cluster should move out like the ZSA voyager

As far as I can tell the formatting is standard `rustfmt`. Ships with the compiler.
