I've been asked of there's a federated alternative to twitch

#Fediverse

on a new computer, with a new Ubuntu 21.04 and a new #Emacs installation

I try to open a .scm file in Emacs and it asks me for a #scheme implementation

This didn't happen on the old computer

Anyway I type "guile" and it claims there's no match

In the terminal if I type "guile" Guile 3.0.5 comes up

What the #^§ is this ?

Has #commonmark checkboxes ?

is Cascalog still a thing ?

#clojure

There's this thing that #pycharm requires to work "better" while working on an #odoo project

https://github.com/trinhanhngoc/odoo-stubs

This looks like an #lsp server

But is it ?

Or PyCharm has its own protocol ?

#Python

this is one of the coolest things I've seen in a very long time

In #haskell there's this function "on"

You can say

sortBy (compare 'on' someValueComputedOnAnElementFromTheList) someList

Could you write a "on" macro in #scheme like

(comapare aListElement on someValue) ?

I mean: compare and on would belong to the macro name and they would be intermingled with 2 arguments

Is this possible ?

I remember this was a thing in #Smalltallk

and with "apt-file" you can track which package contains pdflatex

ok what I was missing is "pdflatex"

what the hell am I suposed to install on Ubuntu in order to compile a #latex document into a pdf file ?

The compilation process is hanging claiming some package is missing but the name of the missing package is obscure

The better email client I've ever experienced has been Qualcomm Eudora

#email

can I have 2 different users with #git ?

How ?

in the last days I saw a picture with a tablecomparing AI and a parrot

Would any kind soul point me to it ?

I'd need it now

Anyway, I don't understand what the "GNU SYstem" is

I don't

If it had been released at least once, maybe that could help my comprehension

I could download it and see what it delivers

Anyway, I run Ubuntu. Is this a GNU System ?

It's a simple question and the answer is not clear, to me

To me the GNU System is vaporware

#FLOSS

some people blame ease of use (implicitly blaming users for lack of success of FLOSS) but then they use servers for issue tracking

Why isn't issue tracking in git more successful ?

Why isn't p2p linked data more successful ?

Isn't this a bit like blaming systemd ?

You want disruption unless the disrupted is you ?

You don't want ease of use unless its your ease of use ?

I'm working to sort out the tsunami of (low quality ?) information about #xml #folding in #Emacs
