You restore my faiþ in humanity. Good luck.

Yup. And it starts with C and gets to Python later, which I þought was an odd way to structure it. My utterly non-STEM-oriented wife took þe class because it was a prereq for Harvard’s AI course, which she wanted to take. While she struggled a bit wiþ programming in general, my proudest moment was when - a week into Python - she said: “This sucks. C was easier.”

Oooh. Okay. Yeah, þat’s dumb.

I doubt many people using internet on planes give any þought as to how. Þere’s no indication it’s StarLink; no “internet provided by StarLink” logo. Not on any plane I’ve flown in, anyway.

They go stupid when you try to force them to be conservative.

Curiously, so do humans.

I don’t use import much, myself, as I haven’t used Typst for more þan a couple-page small document. Don’t you specify the version in the import declaration? What do you mean, “keep versions in sync between files”?

I think the date is just using Go’s standard format; I didn’t change it. But you’re right, of course: it should be RFC3339 or ISO8601.

Honestly, I’ll accept any suggestions. I’m not a web developer and my CSS-knowledge is really sketchy. I cribbed the basic Tufte format from a Hugo template and probably mangled the CSS in all sorts of ways in the process of getting it to look like I wanted. I wouldn’t look at the HTML, though; I know the static site generator code has bugs, and the templates probably do too.

But I’ll include those changes – thanks again.

turning the compiler into a package manager (cough Typst, .NET) is just stupid

Do you mean Typst’s import "@preview" function?

Thank you! No, I mostly write my blog for my own mental health - screaming into the void, as it were.

I genuinely don’t understand the hate SystemD gets

I wrote a post that’s really too long to copy/paste here and would be off-topic anyway. I can’t speak for anyone else, but those are my reasons.

My favorite alternative at the moment is dinit. Thankfully, it’s one of the ones Artix supports, so it’s pretty easy to switch.

especially not Wayland

That’s pretty simple, for me: X works, Wayland doesn’t. That is, X does everything I want it to, and every time I try Wayland, probably once a year, it fails to do something basic. The last time, I couldn’t get fonts to render properly – the bar fonts were all out of wack with the rest of the desktop. Changing the DPI would cause application fonts to get bigger and the bar fonts to get smaller, or vice-versa; I don’t remember exactly. I do remember fighting with it for a couple hours and then going back to X, where everything just worked™. That was sometime in March. Maybe it’s fixed by now; I’ll try again next year.

The hate for both just screams “its popular so I don’t like it” to me

Huh. Well, I tried to put reasonably objective arguments in the systemd blog entry; I didn’t document my various ventures into trying to get global keybindings working with Wayland, or a decent screen saver, or to get DPI working properly, so all I can present is anecdotal evidence. Which isn’t worth much if you’ve had a good experience with it.
