Does this use anything from the flash-moe project?

https://github.com/Alexintosh/flash-moe


Yes, this is a reference project, the main different is we don't use os swap ( it introduces latency, will add https://github.com/danveloper/flash-moe to the original reference as well ).


How can this be used with jj?


Could you comment here on the PR(https://github.com/jj-vcs/jj/pull/8833) if you want this integrated with jj


I had conversations with Martin, He just wants people asking for weave in their community, once people start doing it, we both can work on the integration then.


This is your chance! As a clean slate design, you can abandon the concept of a hierarchal file system and replace it with rdbms.


Yeah, an RDBMS would be nice, I still need to figure out the concrete implementation.



I would love to read a writeup when you do - I've been wanting to build a hobby OS with a database-like storage system and have been paralyzed about the design.


You're right, but aren't you forgetting that for each image, the encode cost needs to be paid just once, but the decode time must be paid many many times? Therefore, I think it's important to optimize size and decode time.


HALIC's decode speed is already much faster compared to other codecs. When you look at the compression ratios, they are almost the same. There doesn't seem to be a problem with this. There are also issues where encode speed is especially important. But I think there is no need to spend a lot more energy to make a few percent more compression and decode it.


If you're going to learn it, use at least a split columnar keyboard and a non qwerty layout. Learning to touch type on a regular keyboard will likely worsen your health compared to your four finger hunt and peck due to the bad uncomfortable qwerty touch typing enforces. Think about the awful pinky curls and reaches. Ouch!


I'm almost 40 and have no issues with this yet. Colemak is my favorite non-QWERTY and feels smooth, but sadly, programming was designed with QWERTY in mind. The 30% comfort improvement wasn't really worth it and there's a speed drop because I've been on QWERTY since 5 years old. I also use my laptop in well, laptop mode half the time, so eventually I went back to QWERTY.

But it's actually surprising on mobile how much easier a non-QWERTY keyboard is considering it's two thumbs and your thumbs are at the pinky areas most of the time.


spread dev pinky awareness whenever possible, we need a ribbon..the struggle is real and its a sign of excessive copy pasting. customized split keyboard is the cure so bring on the subsidized moonlanders for all


I think subsidized svalboards are far better. Moonlanders are an evolution to the standard keyboard design, but a svalboard is a step function improvement - a true keyboard revolution.


I'm mostly "stuck" to my company-provided QWERTY Macbook, but interesting thought.


Too bad this doesn't use the system keyboard on mobile


It has been 5 years and while it's getting better, I still regret every single day. I never wanted one since I believe I'm unsuitable to be a parent, yet everyone around me assured me it would be ok. It wasn't. I don't spend more than 10 consecutive minutes of quality time with my wife each day and I have lost all desire to do anything. That doesn't really matter though, because I can't do anything. I feel like my ability to execute has been reduced so much. My kid isn't even bad. I think they are quite good. I am the problem. This makes me feel even worse because my kid loves me and I can't return it.


Sorry to hear this. I urge you to seek some kind of help and support for this, because what you’re describing rings of depression, whatever the root cause (even if it feels obvious).


Really sorry you're going through this. I hope you're finding a few bright moments here and there. 5 was still a difficult, draining age in our house, but it gets easier. You'll find your kid playing more independently soon, maybe even just wanting to do their thing while you do yours, and that'll be a relief. It took me a long time to accept that life is different now, and to not obsess over the differences. Once I did, I suddenly found myself motivated to pick up old hobbies and felt more of a connection to my kiddo. Hang in there, and take care of yourself.


Sorry to hear you're going through that. It does sound like having someone to open up and talk to, even someone you pay (i.e. A therapist), could help. This is especially true if many crucial things around you sound to be positive.

All the best and don't forget that it can get better!


Having someone you pay is actually key here (at least for me.) Never do I want to fix something more then when there's money on the line. I'm sure that getting lucky in finding a therapist that can understand you and provide a hint as to change your approach or bolster you when you're correct but unsure. Free advice can be perfectly correct, but when you're paying maybe you take it more seriously.


>I believe I'm unsuitable to be a parent, yet everyone around me assured me it would be ok

They might just have said that not to sound alarming, and to close the subject.

You know yourself infinitely better than anyone else does, so if you have even the slightest doubt, you should never rely on others to decide what's best for you.

Be especially wary of people close to you, as proximity increases the belief of knowledge much more easily than actual knowledge.

Reminds me of a Philip Roth quote: "The fact remains that getting people right is not what living is all about anyway. It's getting them wrong that is living, getting them wrong and wrong and wrong and then, on careful reconsideration, getting them wrong again."


Kids need love and compassion. They don’t need perfect parents. You’ll have a ton more regret later if you raise a kid that becomes a broken adult.

Kids aren’t kids forever. They get older and become more autonomous. You want them to grow up and be successful in all things in life. Surprisingly, beyond some life skills, if kids have people in their life that care about them then they have a greater chance of loving themselves, which helps them face life’s challenges.


> Kids need love and compassion. They don’t need perfect parents.

Now you are just making him feel worse, since his problem is that he can't give his kids love and compassion.


By no means an I an expert, but in my experience, engaging with your family and learning to open up to them (even about your feelings of inadequacy) results in a much richer relationship. It’s like listening to a sad song when you’re sad. You may find that they are yearning to be closer to you, even if you don’t think you’re what they need.

Best of luck, friend. :)


There’s a RegretfulParents subreddit if you need to commiserate or vent.


Not monero. It is the only useful cryptocurrency in my opinion, and it is easy to understand that it is private digital cash.


You have to define what you mean by "useful"?

Monero's fungibility is excellent, but the transactions-per-second ain't that great right? Also Proof of stake is inherently more sustainable in a resource-constrained world: you don't want to replace banks by something more wasteful thank banks...

For my money's worth, and clearly talking my own book here, the decidedly zero-hype Algorand is the useful crypto at 20k TPS, this is the Visa/Mastercard territory where things get interesting. As for fungibility, it will have to be some democratically controlled thing I think...


You're right about how "useful" needs to be defined. Monero at 30tps and blockchain growth rate is useless for global adoption. Lack of fungibility also makes every other cryptocurrency useless for global adoption.

You're also right that PoS is more sustainable than PoW, but I think this will change your mind: https://old.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/lv5285/alt_take_on_... It did for me. Thankfully since the energy consumption does not scale with the transaction rate, it's not a long term problem I think. Currently, the high energy per transaction stats are only because the adoption is low.

I've been a software developer for 6 years but have been enamored by computers since I was a kid. I love analyzing problems and their current solutions and coming up with something better. I'm a strong believer in keeping things as simple as possible and eliminating abstraction layers. I think many web applications sadly treat the database as a dumb data store, leading to data inconsistencies and redundant code. I like to take my time to think things through and (hopefully) design it correctly from the get go.
