Trying and learning different bug tracking and project management tools for the last few weeks (bugzilla, debbugs, track, redmine, gitlab, taiga, plane, forgejo, phabricator, gitea, sourcehut and a couple more) I have to admit that the most convinient, visually pleasant and functional enough is GitHub Projects :/

Ordered a new 2tb storage for my laptop. It means that we will test the reproducibilty of my rde config and overall installation experience of rde soon :)
For quite some time, I didn't have enough space to maintain VMs, gnu/store and couple of movies at the same time, so I had to cleanup and GC often. Soon it should become much more comfortable to work and live.

For people interested on how much storage you need for comfortable work on systems powerd by GNU Guix: I have around 300GB total on all btrfs subvolumes and while it's manageable, it feels quite tight for my everyday research and development duties.

I have half an hour trip to climbing gym and back 3 times a week. Not to waste this time I take my laptop with downloaded materials with me and watch courses.
Previously it was OCaml course, now it is Advanced Compilers course:

Modern Scheme REPL?
- Interruptible evaluation in remote Scheme process? ✔
- Immediately seeing stdout and stderr of remotely evaluated expression? ✔
- Readable exception messages? ✔
A couple things still bother me:
- How to intercept access to stdin (current-input-port)? Need to make custom ports?
- Evaluation happens in a fresh thread every time: 1. constantly creating new threads is not optimal 2. it doesn't allow to invoke previously saved continuations.

5 Concurrency Patterns for Guile Scheme I extracted during my recent work on asyncronous system for guile-nrepl.

Launching containers using shepherd, it's like docker-compose for your project, but on steroids!

Kudos for this cool work to rekado.

codepages, cyrillic alphabet, unicode, ligatures, emojis, history of all that stuff and funny real-life stories along the line in one video by Dylan Beattie:

My opinionated TLDR on that talk: Plain text is not a simple format.

Guix for MacOS users:

It uses qemu under the hood, but it's better than complete absense of the guix :)

@ac58cb3c Thank you for the link, yep, I watched it a couple of days ago one more time:

It's inspirational, but org-ref seems too cumbersome/overcomplicated. Trying to build a slimmer and more extensible setup for rde, so it's easier to maintain and troubleshoot it and other people can reuse it.
Bibliography in Emacs.
1. I found a Zotero guix package: https://github.com/guix-science/guix-science/pull/27/files
2. @2da88588 mentioned https://github.com/mpedramfar/zotra emacs package, which can use zotero translators without zotero client itself!
3. It's seems that a good solution will be to package zotra and zotero translation-server and setup org-protocol handler for capturing bib entries from browser.
#guix #zotero #emacs #orgmode
@2da88588 Capturing bibliography entries is the exactly what I'm puzzled with at the moment!
Thank you very much for the link, really promising.
I also found https://github.com/yantar92/org-capture-ref a few minutes ago, but IDK how good it is.
@8ff43f22 for editing capabilities it's possible to add --compose switch and/or combine git send-email with format, but yes, overall you aright, it's not very friendly MUA experience.
@e5b72764@6adcf666 having patches in emails gives an ability to apply them, write a review without having a network.
Probably pull requests are good for some use cases, but not very offline friendly :)
@6adcf666
> I've heard that plenty of people love applying mail-based patches, but the PR/MR system seems less open to user error, as you've mentioned.
That's right.
> So Codeberg or...?
IDK to be honest. I really like the offline friendlines of emails and it's a huge deal for me right now.
Overall, I'm good with sourcehut, but sometimes I have troubles with poorly formed patch series without cover letters or sent to a separate thread instead of reroll to the same one.
There are a lot of benefits in mailing list based development, but there are so many ways to do something wrong: send a patch to a wrong message/thread, forget cover letter or In-Reply-To header, attach instead of inline and so on.
Technically all the tools are available, but it takes a tangible amount of time and practice to configure them and start doing everything properly.
Resources like https://git-send-email.io/ helps, but still doesn't solve the issue completely.
@f21217c4 I'll just avoid using test-group inside fibers for now. I guess I'll need to revisit scheme's testing frameworks one more time later this year, but let's finish guile-nrepl first.
