@CorioPsicologia No no, sin querer. Se metió en el baño a cambiarse.

@CorioPsicologia hace poco un amigo nuestro que lleva un bar nos contó que le vino una clienta habitual y él dijo:

"Perdóname, no te quiero incomodar pero creo que llevas el sujetador por encima de la camisa"

:)

@CorioPsicologia A mí también me han llamado mucho la atención.

Me gustaría saber a nivel de conexión eléctrica cómo interactúan con el resto de la instalación y en qué sitios pueden o no ponerse.

God damn making a text editor is harder than it looks!

@deshipu Yes, whatever but Protobuf was invented way after we all knew that was very bad.

@deshipu I doesn't have to be me...

that's like saying any arbitrary value can be considered an error, because there are almost no chances for that to happen.

The memory case is one of the reasons everybody complains about C. It's not a great argument, quite the contrary.

@deshipu well, of course you can try, but cannot access, that's why you get the segfault.
In the kernel, you surely can.

@deshipu yes but no. 0 is a valid address of the memory but in C, 0 is a memory address that you cannot actually use.
Same happens here with timestamps, and with many other things.

If it happens with these, it happens with ANY number, too.

Maybe it's me and I'm an idiot and all, but checking for Nulls in #protobuf is just crazy.

I have a Location (latitude, longitude) and if it has nulls it is considered Location (0,0) which I'm supposed to read as empty, but (0,0) is a real location in the planet.

This is just absurd.

@janneke idk, I have a similar interest to yours but I still feel quite comfortable in C because it's more or less simple.

Other languages like Zig feel super interesting and I had used them before but they have a lot of syntax. Rust has even more syntax and makes you think about too many things at the same time. I don't like that.

I prefer to have a few concepts in mind when I code, not hundreds.

@happyborg @janneke I'm starting to become picky and if your language needs four different kinds of brackets it feels suspicious to me:

(), [], {}, <>
Too much. haha

Is rust horrible or is it only the project I'm reading?

@janneke @zimoun I just started this because people in the Guix mailing list claimed it was because of Emacs.

Of course it isn't!
I never got used to it, but I see the value of it.

I'm just an idiot having fun. Don't take me so seriously here in the social media.

EDIT: I'm just having my revenge with all the people that is insisting that I should use emacs.

@zimoun @janneke I was just having a hot take in the social media and people got triggered, man. Emacs is just a cult, you react the same way a radical Catholic would.

"Actually Jesus didn't mean..."

😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

(forgive me, i'm a bad person LOL)

Emacs people loving the editor to death but also they have to add two spaces after the dot in the sentences because that helps emacs navigate.

I thought it was a matter of style or readability, but now it feels way more absurd.

Wtf dude.

Midnight C hacking in a Scheme interpreter!

Again in your screens!

So the GNU #Mes performance report just dropped:

https://ekaitz.elenq.tech/fasterMes1.html

It's not a serious or academic take, but I think it's enough to drive my future endeavor into the depths of the interpreter implementation.

Wish me luck, I never did this before and I'm struggling to focus.

should we write this GNU #Mes performance report blogpost together?

In... 15 minutes I'll start

@aral lol I just code in my laptop...

@crmsnbleyd @lynn I've been nerd sniped by @nlnet to rewrite a scheme interpreter as a bytecode interpreter and it happens to be a little bit harder than I thought LOL.
And also my newborn kid doesn't want to help me define the vm instructions...
