Is anyone using ocicl as a systems manager in Common Lisp? Have a look at https://github.com/ocicl/ocicl - I only discovered it now, but it seems to be slightly more modern than quicklisp and it is actively maintained.

Using https://crates.io/crates/clap to do CLI argument parsing in #rust is really a breeze. A very enjoyable experience.

I always forget that I have zellij installed. https://zellij.dev/
It is a real cool terminal workspace, very much like tmux, but usable.

Ich bin ja ein wenig spät dran, wenn ich jetzt das Buch "Antifragilität" von Nassim Nicholas Taleb lese, welches immerhin bereits 2012 erschienen ist. Aber das Thema - Systeme, die an Unordnung nicht zugrunde gehen, sondern sogar daran wachsen - ist natürlich auch für Informatiker interessant. Wenn im Buch dann ab und an auch das eigentliche Thema durchblitzt, ist es ja durchaus bemerkenswert, aber leider ist der ganze Schreibstil so ausschweifend, so von einer Nichtigkeit zur anderen hüpfend, so von Ego-Nachrichten durchzogen, dass der interessante Kern kaum durchdringen kann. Es ist beinahe so, wie wenn jemand 100 Wörter und mehr braucht, um zu sagen: Lohnt sich nicht.

When I use cargo component new to build a CLI component for Rust/Wasm/Wit, the cargo component build step will automatically translate a main function to .e.g. wasi:cli/run or println! statements to the according stream functions from the wasi world. With wasm-tools component wit I can even inspect a generated with world, though none was supplied. I would llike to know more about the magic involved. Is that documented somewhere, is this something carfgo component does, or is it coming from wit-bindgen? Any help or pointers appreciated.

Though I am german and live in Germany, I made it a habit to support @guardian@flipboard.social - having lived in the UK for around 6 years I always enjoyed the newspaper (then still on paper), and I admire that all the articles are kept free for everyone. Being able to gather information from various sources is important in a democracy. With the Guardian I have the hope that I get independent information.
