@futurile I'm in favor of people calling them whatever they feel comfortable using.

But the Guix manual says that

«“Guix” is pronounced like “geeks”, or “ɡiːks” using the international phonetic alphabet (IPA).»

So I personally use "guix" to refer to "Guix users", and "guik" for the singular. And it works for me because it reads naturally in Spanish.

Estoy empezando un proyecto de desarrollo de software en español y la cosa se siente rara.

La mente está acostumbrada a escribir todo en inglés y ahora no sabe si escribir todo en español o solo algunas partes. Por una parte porque recuerda cómo los sistemas informáticos fallaban (o fallan) al pasarles datos con tildes, eñes, etc., por otra parte pues porque API, formatos, etc., están en inglés.

La colonización de la mente por medio de la [in]conveniencia... 🙂

#programación #español

In Guile Scheme programming there's this convention of adding section headings as follows (it is used in Guix, for example):

;;;
;;; Section Heading Here
;;;

Is there a command to ask Emacs to show me those headings as a table of contents, hyperlinked, so that I can have an overview of a buffer and easily navigate to its sections?

📢 New Guix caps available in the store 🛒

Or download the design to use it as you wish:

(Purchases and donations greatly help me to keep contributing to libre cultural works.)

Now you can literally wear your Guix hats when doing Guix things.

Enjoy :)

P.S. Coming up soon: GNU Guile caps

I noticed slow interactions with the desktop today so I checked system resources usage. It turns out GNOME Shell is hording RAM again...

No good...

I'll dust off my sway configuration...
