Telling people that they need to socialize for their health on hacker news and getting quite a bit of pushback

For the longest time I've had two partitions on my computer, a 500gb Windows and 500gb Linux. I'm thinking of just blowing away the windows partition and upgrading to 8tb all Linux. I don't really need Windows for anything these days and the desktop is pretty degraded

Hmm I'd like Lean 4 a bit more if the syntax was easier to understand - I know! I'll make it a LISP!

Becoming Lean4 pilled. This shit is soooo dope

Bringing a girlfriend home will make your family compliment you in ways they have literally never mentioned before in your entire life

yes, I contributed approximately $0.0001 to Jake Paul's net worth by watching a youtube video of him get punched in the face. I admit it. I'm not proud of it, but it was worth it

sigh... I got the scheme.rs domain name. Looks like I'm sticking with that name

What’s the state of the art for rendering in GTK applications? a while ago I tried using dmabuf and couldn’t get it working. I’m asking because it might finally be time to start working on my dream text editor

No judgement from me here. I’m just glad everyone is having a good time and is staying safe out there

There's nothing more satisfying than filling out all the doc comments you need and ending up with a super full and detailed rustdoc

Going through the long and arduous process of finishing and documenting (the language, the standard library API, and embedding API) for scheme-rs. Gonna take a while but it will be soooo satisfying when I'm done.

oooh yeah, that's the stuff

I have a feeling this next change is going to have some massive performance improvements... I'm pretty excited about it!

Really not sure why I built in interior mutability to my Gc smart pointer. Oh well, time for that to go. Should make stuff a lot faster

My text editor will be shocking and revolutionary by being a gui app and not terminal based

Hashtables!! hashbrown made this a lot easier than I thought it would be (dare I say it made it trivial)? github.com/maplant/sche...

Thank the lord for hashbrown's HashTable

I've fully become an NTS radio guy. No more youtube mixes they're DISGUSTING

I do not understand the point of asking CEOs of sports betting companies if they think what they do is moral. They either do or don’t care and it’s not particularly meaningful which answer they give (it will always be the first)

Another day, another problem solved with a macro

Strict provenance APIs are pretty dang sweet, and Miri kicks ass

Obviously most Rust programmers know that unwrap can panic but what about the one programmer whose sole understanding of Rust is through type signatures that went “wow this function takes an Option and returns a T? That’s exactly what I need!”

It really should have been called unwrap_or_panic

Update: I did

Somehow managed to implement R6RS ports... in both async and sync Rust github.com/maplant/sche...

scheme-rs now has delimited continuations github.com/maplant/sche...

Taking psychic damage discovering the with-input-from-file and with-output-from-file functions in the R6RS spec, which seemingly require another continuation mark to function

Was almost put off from buying some pants from a brand I really like because I made the mistake of googling the pants plus reddit and saw a scathing review on r/BuyItForLife, but then I realized you'd have to be pretty damn stupid to think pants are a thing you could "buy for life"

The secret to doing IO properly is to have a buffer which writes to a buffer which writes to a buffer which writes to another buffer which writes to a buffer

Wow, “Cool Girls for Capitalism” wasnt a winning campaign slogan?

Implementing the entire R6RS port system from scratch has been such a slog but I see the light at the end of the tunnel

Behold, my beautiful proc macros that let me avoid importing the maybe_async crate

Despite my best efforts, I've become fewer-dependency pilled

I think it’s about time scheme-rs no longer requires async

My next potentially biggest optimization relies on the following question: which is faster, a non blocking recv from a channel, or mallocing a value?

I just need to make my call/cc implementation about 8x faster and I'll be happy.

Aw yeah, that's the stuff

I have a feeling this next scheme-rs optimization is gonna be really big

Training Day… fire movie

I’m sure it’s purely a me thing/skill issue but I wasn't really taken by Singapore. Probably my least favorite big city in Asia so far.

Special preview of my talk on scheme-rs coming up this thursday

Pretty interested to find out if adding the concept of known functions improves perf in scheme-rs at all

Desperately trying to optimize scheme-rs now that I set up a decent benchmarking framework to compare against other implementations. On the plus side, the fibonacci benchmarks are really good! On the minus side, everything else is pretty bad 😬

I think I may have developed a version of concurrent cycle collection that removes the mutation buffer entirely, which ends up being muuuch faster

my girlfriend and I found a Tomato plant on the sidewalk someone was giving away for free at the beginning of summer, so we decided to plant it. It never bore any fruit but it did get pretty big

IMO there’s literally nothing better than a big pot of greens and beans

I really want to get an MNT Reform and install Guix on it. I feel like that would be fun
