The window shade problem is keeping me from Wayland. AFAIU there's currently no commitment to ever fix it on Wayland, it's only a maybe.

For anyone interested, it's being tracked here.

This link doesn't work for me. Do you have an alternative/original? I'd like to read some context and explanation.

Factor!

It's incredible and elegant and defies some common categorization.

I've put some of my favorite resources in the sidebar of https://programming.dev/c/concatenative and I'm happy to walk through any particular challenges/examples -- I've done about the first week of Advent of Code with it this year, and the most recent handful of Perl Weekly Challenges, and some basic Euler problems.

Plasma may not ever implement window shading for Wayland, but I'm hopeful. That's probably my last blocker.

FWIW, Alpine Linux has a nice world file, too. And I am continually impressed by the selection of up to date packages in their Edge repos.

Any thoughts on the alternative I mentioned, DYN, described here?

Factor on github (with comments and imports):

I didn't use any math smarts.

: input>data ( -- races )
  "vocab:aoc-2023/day06/input.txt" utf8 file-lines     
  [ ": " split harvest rest [ string>number ] map ] map
  first2 zip                                           
;

: go ( press-ms total-time -- distance )
  over - *
;

: beats-record? ( press-ms race -- ? )
  [ first go ] [ last ] bi >
;

: ways-to-beat ( race -- n )
  dup first [1..b)          
  [                         
    over beats-record?      
  ] map [ ] count nip       
;

: part1 ( -- )
  input>data [ ways-to-beat ] map-product .
;

: input>big-race ( -- race )
  "vocab:aoc-2023/day06/input.txt" utf8 file-lines             
  [ ":" split1 nip " " without string>number ] map
;

: part2 ( -- )
  input>big-race ways-to-beat .
;

Well I'm not experiencing the bug, so can't provide proper information. If you are, it would be helpful to report it.

Thank you!

meld really is my favorite, but there's also mcdiff from mc, in combination with your editor of choice (use_internal_edit=false). If you can like the internal editor, though, that's got to be a better experience.

I find a bunch of the themes are unreadable, so am rotating and eliminating with this Zsh function:

mcdiff () {
  emulate -L zsh

  local skins=(
    gotar
    gray-green-purple256
    modarin256-defbg
    modarin256
    modarin256root-defbg
    modarin256root
    sand256
    seasons-autumn16M
    seasons-spring16M
    seasons-summer16M
    seasons-winter16M
    xoria256
    yadt256-defbg
    yadt256
  )

  local skin=${skins[RANDOM % $#skins + 1]}

  print -rl -- "Using skin: $skin:t:r"
  =mcdiff -c -S $skin $@
}

For a non-interactive diff viewer I find riff's output pretty legible.

Other than that, I've used a combination of tools with a broot config to browse and manage the diffs...

Is anyone supporting my old Nexus 9 tablet? I'd love to flash anything supported there.

AFAIU, asdf uses pyenv for its Python plugin, but rtx does it all just a little better.
