I love and use xfce, but it “just works” for me only ~98%. Window snapping dimensions are oft still wrong, i get visual artifacts sometimes , etc. minor issues. With gnome i may not love everything about it, but i change nothing and it does “just work” closer to 99.9+%

Seems like YMMV

Interesting parser, fun to read.

Oh I got the joke! (I'm pretty sure it was intended)

Yes a parser is a fun to read ;)

I liked it, mainly at 10x speed. The way it built a 3 was totally cheating! A brick just stopped falling without anything below!

Installed. Thanks for sharing

Id like to see a DIY variant! A couple of radios and homebase software. Could be a fun one to try an emulate.

Something something something built in airtag-like finder?

Definitely some interesting and fun properties. Pretty hard to consider them, in totality, anything close to 10x-ing from the herd.

Software is art. Maybe someone out there somehow gets 10xd from these traits, but highly unlikely

The 10x argument for lisp was more compelling when everyone was using C and Fortran instead of JS and python. The contrasts here do seem pretty small.

The real productivity benefit for me is that the ecosystem is so stable and well documented. You can learn it all and keep it in your head.

Guile is an embedded scripting and configuration language. Its competition is Lua. Which is unfortunate for Guile, because it's even less attractive there.

What are the pros and cons of Guile wrt Lua?

The only pro I can think of is you get a standard scheme set of batteries, which isn't even really a pro in this space. The biggest con is implementation size and complexity. IIRC the JITter alone is twice the size of LuaJIT's entire codebase, and not for being vastly better.

License problems too, if you're not making copyleft software. Guile is GPL, both Luas are MIT.

Tell us more about the web ad based trojan!

I am also really curious how GP was able to pinpoint the event. Or was it more, "Well this is the one weird thing I did on my machine this week."

Perhaps, given the target audience and the state of the world, “it goes without saying” applies, or is wrapped up implicitly already thru the mentioned checks and balances (human firmly in the loop, etc etc)
