Big shoutout to @xeiaso.net for this. We sponsor her (not nearly enough for the huge effort developing this takes), and you can TOO at github.com/sponsors/xe

I’d love to write a blogpost but I have no idea about what to write about 😅

There is something a bit infuriating when you subscribe to a service, only for it to go offline minutes after your payment and their status page claims everything is fine(*) (*) Though, let me tell you, having a good status page is pretty hard, I’m well aware.

I like giving talks, and I often prepare them the same way: I make a first (very bad) deck of slides, and then I rehearse and refine the slides as many time as necessary to find my flow. It’s not necessarily ineffective, but I don’t know… I like the process.

Too many negativity on Twitter so I deleted the app on an impulse and here I am 😆

Allez ça part en préco

why not both? 🤔🐫

PSA! Please share around! Due to a limited number of submissions, we're extending the OCaml Workshop deadline by a week to July 10th AoE! Functional programmers! Heed my call! We need your submissions!!

Maybe my fix to cohttp-lwt connection cache will be merged some day.

Can we talk about K-Pop Demon Hunters? No i mean, really. Can we?? I’m kinda obsessed already

Omg OpenTelemetry is so cool I gonna die

I'm pleased to announce OxCaml! OxCaml is Jane Street's branch of OCaml. We've given it a new name and a snazzy logo, and done a bunch of work to make it easy for people to try.

The #OCaml library for tracing using OpenTelemetry is pretty good.

MPL is really my favorite license. Do whatever with my code, build a proprietary product if you want—I’d be flattered, even. But if you end up having to modify it, publish the changes!

cohttp-connpool-lwt-unix is now a thing :D

Step 1. Write tests to find bugs in my new library Step 2. Run into a bug in one dependency of my new library Took me a while, but I managed to pinpoint the issue

I think Cohttp_lwt_unix.Server does not close persistent connections when it’s stopped ):

I’ve started a Lwt_unix backend for cohttp-connpool. I have the perfect use case in mind for it 😄 but that’ll have to wait for the end of the week-end.

Embracing the future

My notes on a recent experiment: Peer-Programming in Modern #OCaml with ChatGPT and Gemini A devlog of sort. I wanted to share how it was, using LLMs to write a small tool in a more “niche” language.

The daemon has been running for 5 months without any issue \o/. (I find joy where it is)

Okay, so. I still expect a few hiccups, but so far, `dune pkg lock` seems already like a solid solution

Tried `dune pkg lock` this morning `dune exec examples/main.exe` took as much time as the `dune build` that came before it 🤔 need to dig that a little

Eio.Private.Trace.with_span is not reentrant ):

Okay, no I can make calls to Ollama with peace of mind, knowing I can reuse HTTP connections 🥸

I still need to pick a license (probably MPL) but here is cohttp-connpool-eio: github.com/lthms/cohttp... Feedback welcome!

Okay, eio-trace is pretty awesome

Btw, latest Eio’s commit is 4 month old?

Wonder why `Eio.Pool` does not have `get : sw:Switch.t -> 'a t -> 'a`

Where it started: I want to use ollama from OCaml Where it went: I can do two HTTP request from the same connection 🎉

Why does Eio.Net.E has a Connection_reset variant, and Cohttp_eio uses failwith "connection reset by peer" when the connection is reset?

How can I make sure cohttp-eio reuses already established connections? From what I’m seeing through tcpdump, it looks like it systematically closes connections to localhost at least.

Now that I can use Vosk to transcript a Youtube video, let's try to use Ollama to get a summary. Good use case to try cohttp-eio to make HTTP requests

Demo project to call Vosk (offline speech recognition) from OCaml. github.com/lthms/ocaml-... I tried it on a few Youtube video, it seems to work quite well. Eio is actually nice, although it’s way too easy to mess up and read from a closed file ): (but maybe because I like `Seq.t`)

Ah, forgot about this one. It’s not merged yet 🥲 I’ve mentioned this on Lobste.rs already—I am a little concerned with Dream’s future. Which is an issue for OCaml, because Dream remains a pretty awesome project the ecosystem needs, IMO.

It’s almost June and I haven’t published a single blogpost since my 2024 retrospective. Not great.

My plan for this week is to build a strong understanding of Irmin (irmin.org).

Any feedback about the CodeCompanion plugin (AI integration) for neovim? I think I’ll give it a try

this actually works way too well omg

TIL Packer is no longer maintained 🥲

Anubis is trusted by: * SourceHut * Gitea servers all over the world * kernel.org * freebsd.org * UNESCO It's probably good enough for your community too!

Can you tell what was the point where I 1. Manually blocked a few AI crawlers 2. Moved my nameserver to Cloudflare plus turned on AI crawler blocking My site w modest traffic (~1,000 visitors per day) went from serving ~1GB/hr (to tons of AI crawlers!) to ~50MB/hr in traffic

Read a blogpost where the code snippets where images. Who does that?

In case you didn’t know: Lwt_throttle is pretty cool when you need to interact with a rate-limited API.

I hope one day my brain will remember it’s “achieve” not “acheive.”

There is one game that will make me buy a PS5: The Last of Us Part 3. No question asked.

I’ve removed Slack from my personal phone yesterday. I keep unlocking my phone out of sheer reflex 😅 hopefully this will pass

You're gunna enjoy the next Gleam release

That wasn’t too bad.

Note to self: look for CONTRIBUTING.md before complaining
