I think I just found a bug in GNU coreutils tr and honestly I deserve it for not taking my own advice and trying to script something slightly nontrivial in coreutils.
And it's not even a complex tr invocation, I'm just trying to replace newlines with spaces.
Unix was a mistake, the Lisp machine people were right.

ps.: Just so I know I'm not making a complete fool of myself: `tr '\n' ' '` *is* the correct invocation, right? All sources say it is. It's like, the simplest tr use case

The creator also wrote about how the project came together and gosh I love reading artists' thought process. Also has some background on the #animation industry.

And this is why I tell people to just publish their crappy code, because that's still easier to learn from than no code.

Okay, after using it a bit, #Flatpak is pretty convenient for installing things that are hard to package in Guix or other distros, but "the future of packaging"? I very much hope it isn't.

Watching #TheWindRises and, heck, mood. This exchange about Achilles and the tortoise really captures the #smoltech mindset for me.

Re: #Clouflare and #Wildebeest:

Gmail did nothing to make the email ecosystem healthier.

Keep that in mind when allowing corporate players in the commons.

I for one recommend defederating from all non self-hostable instances.

Nip this in the bud before it spreads.

Another software supply chain attack.

An idea I can't get out of my brainmeats is that someone should combine multi-stage compilation (think Factor's compile word) with operations analysis solvers, so the system could adapt to available resources without manual intervention. Like, it could rebuild/relink itself to maximize battery life when unplugged. This also sounds like something enterprise database folks must have thought about, so maybe I should look into those.

@mathew Guix is a better implementation of that idea IMHO, see the "tune" flag and related package transform.
But what I'm talking about requires cooperation from the runtime, the compiler, and the type system. It's not a distro.

Regular reminder that if something is sold with DRM it is 100% ethical to pirate it.
