That was a fine, fine nap.

hackers.town: 2019-10-20 Sun 17:27

@thegibson Wishing good naps to you, and the time to enjoy them!

Something RT’d into my stream about a person I don’t follow, being awful. Checked. Yep, awful.

Once again validated in my bias against people whose header image is a glossy image of them and the product/book/course they sell.

Ah yes I may have found part of my syncthing issue:

@y0x3y That’s more my fault for not keeping the Pi up to date. Though Raspbian is back at .14 or so, the syncthing apt repo includes fresh builds for ARM.

Windows ate my Trident (BSD) USB stick, so I ended up settling on pop_os for the Linux drive.

Might try Trident or other BSD again later, but via VM first so I can learn my way around.

Could I be any more amused to see the mid-90s aesthetic resurface in kitsch?

@gizmomathboy Similar. It’s not awful. It’s not brew or AUR, but it’s not awful.

Desktop gets the important stickers, so I added mine.

Installed chocolatey to install git and gcc to build go-sqlite3 so I can try my Go thing direct on Windows rather than through WSL.

hackers.town: 2019-10-16 Wed 07:51

Though of course cgo needs gcc5, so ended up downloading and installing TDM-GCC

hackers.town: 2019-10-16 Wed 08:02

@thenomad I’m noticing.

At several spots I’ve been fighting the urge to just install Linux.

Grandpa would be — okay mostly he’d be amused. Excuse me while I clean the wax out from my mustache.

I like the Python 3.8 assignment operator. At the same time, I’ve been amused as Python gradually gains features whose absence was initially presented as a selling point.

Looking forward to sigils.

Ah nice. Apparently our choice in the WeWork office is open floor plan or formaldehyde.

Wait why are you closing the formaldehyde booths? I don’t want the open floor plan!

Got time down to 4.21 minutes with tips from @jankoekepan & @pnathan. Pretty proud.

Not particularly enjoying the need to run wsl --shutdown periodically as WSL forgets where the Windows files are.

hackers.town: 2019-10-13 Sun 00:40

@jankoekepan @pnathan I’m at 4.21 minutes now for indexing, which I’m quite pleased with.

Next is playing with the dupe recognition and preferential treatment logic.

Yeah I have the same impulse as well as the same concern about Briar Patch scenarios.

oh hey cool I knocked about six and a half minutes off by putting all the database stuff in one transaction. A 71,136 row transaction.

hackers.town: 2019-10-12 Sat 09:16

@pnathan ooh I’ll see if crc32 helps! That’s still by far the biggest chunk of CPU time.

“Single-file database” is a self-imposed (and admittedly arbitrary) constraint. Was also pondering bbolt, though I’d need to write my own query functions. Probably won’t worry, since the db stuff is around a minute now.

I haven’t been tracking #inktober close, but I had to do a #drawing for “pattern.” That’s kind of my thing.

Been playing with both Go and Perl 6 because apparently when I was asked “consistency or flexibility” my answer was “Yes. But not at the same time.”
