2022-04-08 05:43:15 +0000 <Ether[m]> Does someone know how to do something like && in bash in haskell?
2022-04-08 05:43:46 +0000 <Ether[m]> Haskell cmd 1 >> Haskell cmd2
2022-04-08 05:44:01 +0000 <Ether[m]> But it doesn't work :(
2022-04-08 05:45:11 +0000 <abastro[m]> What does && do in bash?
2022-04-08 05:45:34 +0000 <abastro[m]> Btw I think you can always code scripts in bash and call using `spawn`

2022-04-08 05:52:58 +0000 <Ether[m]> && in bash allows you to use multiple commands at the same time
2022-04-08 05:53:04 +0000 <Ether[m]> Its an bash argument..

2022-04-08 06:01:47 +0000 <Ether[m]> Which is not an IO action?
2022-04-08 06:05:58 +0000 <Solid> Ether[m]: you gotta be a little bit more specific than that

2022-04-08 06:06:55 +0000 <abastro[m]> Well actually
2022-04-08 06:07:07 +0000 <abastro[m]> In xmonad's case, sth like X is also IO action

2022-04-08 09:14:12 +0000 <Ether[m]> defc0n kde has something called "konkite" which is for tilling
2022-04-08 09:14:25 +0000 <defc0n[m]> why none of these showed up when i searched for this
2022-04-08 09:14:36 +0000 <Ether[m]> Why use xmonad just for running a DE?
2022-04-08 09:14:43 +0000 <Ether[m]> defc0n[m]: What ?
2022-04-08 09:15:08 +0000 <Ether[m]> Its the first thing you get when you search "kde with xmonad"
2022-04-08 09:16:04 +0000 <defc0n[m]> im sooo blind, its literlly the frist page
2022-04-08 09:17:33 +0000 <Ether[m]> defc0n[m]: Exactly... :)
2022-04-08 09:20:48 +0000 <davve> i think its "krohnkite" and is what I used with plasma
2022-04-08 09:21:14 +0000 <davve> its tiling in xmonad/dwm-esque
2022-04-08 09:21:35 +0000 <davve> a plugin for kwin
2022-04-08 09:21:56 +0000 <davve> might have still used it if there were some way to save plasma configuration
2022-04-08 09:22:03 +0000 <davve> its just a dotfolder with a huge mess
2022-04-08 09:26:30 +0000 <davve> now just using xmonad with DE installed and a key bound to open its settings
2022-04-08 09:26:40 +0000 <davve> fits my case pretty well
2022-04-08 09:27:19 +0000 <davve> and its easily replicable and editable :) (if one considers haskell easy, tsk)
2022-04-08 09:27:57 +0000 <Ether[m]> But why plasma.desktop?
2022-04-08 09:28:17 +0000 <Ether[m]> Its kinda getting slower and slower šŸ˜’

2022-04-08 10:08:13 +0000 <pantsu> x11 has a lot of iritating cornercases etc
2022-04-08 10:08:30 +0000 <abastro[m]> Tedious in implementing widgets?
2022-04-08 10:08:31 +0000 <abastro[m]> Or is there more to.. oh
2022-04-08 10:08:45 +0000 <Drishal[m]> Ether[m]: soo uuh the real thing is I needed a dwm style floating layout
2022-04-08 10:08:45 +0000 <Drishal[m]> i.e newly spawned windows do not get pushed behind if I accidentally hover my mouse over the previous window
2022-04-08 10:08:47 +0000 <abastro[m]> Meh having to think about corner cases when just making a status bar is.. eh
2022-04-08 10:08:53 +0000 <pantsu> using gtk or similar do take some of the worst out of it though

2022-04-08 10:10:57 +0000 <abastro[m]> Well you can use this chat here, my topic likely ended here

2022-04-08 11:49:03 +0000 <geekosaur> meh. I use both
2022-04-08 11:49:28 +0000 <YusefAslam[m]> geekosaur: yeah same

2022-04-08 12:26:23 +0000 <Solid> pgtk is only really needed when you're on wayland instead of xorg
2022-04-08 12:27:03 +0000 <Drishal[m]> Solid: its stable even on xorg
2022-04-08 12:27:21 +0000 <Solid> sure it's stable but it also doesn't buy you anything
2022-04-08 12:27:47 +0000 <Drishal[m]> Solid: well
2022-04-08 12:27:47 +0000 <Drishal[m]> it feels a bit more responsive lol
2022-04-08 12:28:55 +0000 <Solid> placebo, I reckon :P
2022-04-08 12:38:27 +0000 <YusefAslam[m]> <Drishal[m]> "emacs+gold linker+pgtk+jit" <- what is pgtk
2022-04-08 12:38:30 +0000 <YusefAslam[m]> and what is aot
2022-04-08 12:41:09 +0000 <Drishal[m]> YusefAslam[m]: pgtk means pure gtk
2022-04-08 12:41:10 +0000 <YusefAslam[m]> <abastro[m]> "What about notepad >.>" <- notepad++ is good aswell much better than plain notepad on Windows
2022-04-08 12:41:39 +0000 <abastro[m]> Well I meant plain notepad
2022-04-08 12:41:40 +0000 <Drishal[m]> btw whats the xmoand equivalent of
2022-04-08 12:41:40 +0000 <Drishal[m]> ```python
2022-04-08 12:41:40 +0000 <Drishal[m]> auto_minimize = False
2022-04-08 12:41:40 +0000 <Drishal[m]> ```
2022-04-08 12:42:08 +0000 <Solid> YusefAslam[m]: PGTK is essentially Wayland support for Emacs
2022-04-08 12:42:38 +0000 <YusefAslam[m]> Solid: I thought Emacs already supported Wayland?
2022-04-08 12:42:53 +0000 <Solid> Only through xwayland
2022-04-08 12:43:21 +0000 <YusefAslam[m]> ohk so like native Wayland support
2022-04-08 12:43:37 +0000 <Solid> yes
2022-04-08 12:43:48 +0000 <YusefAslam[m]> pretty decent
2022-04-08 12:44:00 +0000 <YusefAslam[m]> although I still use Xorg
2022-04-08 12:44:01 +0000 <Solid> by just going through GTK and side-stepping the whole "we need to do this ourselves" entirely
2022-04-08 12:44:16 +0000 <Drishal[m]> Solid: and also pure gtk means that the client has full gtk support
2022-04-08 12:44:16 +0000 <Drishal[m]> means that emacs should hang/stutter a little more less
2022-04-08 12:44:26 +0000 <Drishal[m]> even on Xorg
2022-04-08 12:45:03 +0000 <Solid> how would that follow?
2022-04-08 12:45:35 +0000 <YusefAslam[m]> > <@drishal:matrix.org> and also pure gtk means that the client has full gtk support
2022-04-08 12:45:35 +0000 <YusefAslam[m]> > means that emacs should hang/stutter a little more less
2022-04-08 12:45:35 +0000 <YusefAslam[m]> nice

2022-04-08 12:45:41 +0000 <geekosaur> you haven't seen how emacs does things
2022-04-08 12:45:45 +0000 <Solid> why would GTK be any more responsive than any of the other toolkits that Emacs ships with natively?
2022-04-08 12:46:16 +0000 <geekosaur> because they're all abused so emacs still keeps full control of the event loop, refreshes, etc.
2022-04-08 12:46:45 +0000 <geekosaur> "pure gtk" would mean they actually gave control to the toolkit instead of abusing it
2022-04-08 12:46:51 +0000 <pantsu> Solid: it has good hw acceleration

2022-04-08 12:47:33 +0000 <geekosaur> I didn't understand that question either. minimizing what?
2022-04-08 12:47:36 +0000 <pantsu> also have pretty efficient drawing
2022-04-08 12:47:40 +0000 <Solid> geekosaur: yeah it hacks its own event-loop, but that doesn't make it less responsive really
2022-04-08 12:47:58 +0000 <geekosaur> it's responsive most of the time
2022-04-08 12:48:08 +0000 <Solid> plus, there has been pretty good progress to support XInput 2.4 in master
2022-04-08 12:48:28 +0000 <Solid> allowing for things like pixel-scroll-precision-mode
2022-04-08 12:48:42 +0000 <YusefAslam[m]> pantsu: PGTK has better hardware acceleration? How
2022-04-08 12:48:53 +0000 <geekosaur> but if you go digging through emacs bug reports for the past two decades you'll find it causes lots of things from glitches to actual failures
2022-04-08 12:50:51 +0000 <abastro[m]> Emacs hacks event-loop? Wh
2022-04-08 12:51:10 +0000 <abastro[m]> I heard it is lightweight and editor-done-well, and now I am hearing this
2022-04-08 12:51:22 +0000 <abastro[m]> But then, I am using VSCode IRL soo
2022-04-08 12:51:55 +0000 <Solid> Emacs is older than X11 itself
2022-04-08 12:51:59 +0000 <geekosaur> oh, emacs is done well if you stick to a tty
2022-04-08 12:52:01 +0000 <Solid> so it's not really that surprising
2022-04-08 12:52:10 +0000 <geekosaur> GUI support is hacked in on top
2022-04-08 12:52:21 +0000 <abastro[m]> Oh.
2022-04-08 12:52:44 +0000 <abastro[m]> Why did I think emacs is essentially gui application
2022-04-08 12:52:44 +0000 <Solid> and yet it's still much superior to be able to embed pictures in org :P
2022-04-08 12:53:00 +0000 <YusefAslam[m]> Solid: lol
2022-04-08 12:53:00 +0000 <pantsu> YusefAslam[m]: gtk has better hw acceleration for drawing than using x11 primitives yes
2022-04-08 12:53:05 +0000 <Solid> really, you should be using Emacs as a GUI application
2022-04-08 12:53:39 +0000 <geekosaur> do remember that emacs started out as a set of macros for an older editor (hence its name: Editor MACroS)
2022-04-08 12:53:42 +0000 <YusefAslam[m]> pantsu: ohk, so all the gui stuff in Emacs is now using GTK?
2022-04-08 12:53:46 +0000 <abastro[m]> Well but emacs is done well for tty, not GUI
2022-04-08 12:54:22 +0000 <Solid> abastro[m]: it's a perfectely reasonable GUI program if you don't look into the source too much ;)
2022-04-08 12:54:38 +0000 <geekosaur> (I've actually used TECO, that older editor. it was ā€¦ freaky. but powerful enough that Gosling & co. could build emacs on top of it)
2022-04-08 12:54:39 +0000 <abastro[m]> XD
2022-04-08 12:54:52 +0000 <Solid> the chances that you're going to hit an actual bug due to its behaviour are very minimal
2022-04-08 12:54:54 +0000 <YusefAslam[m]> abastro[m]: I basically always use Emacs in GUI mode and Neovim for terminal editing
2022-04-08 12:55:08 +0000 <pantsu> YusefAslam[m]: and old version of gtk, but yes it does support gtk as the backend now
2022-04-08 12:55:11 +0000 <abastro[m]> Well tbh I feel GTK (and many other UI programs) are reasonable until source is looked into
2022-04-08 12:55:23 +0000 <pantsu> (it has a few gui backends)
2022-04-08 12:55:47 +0000Solidstill happily compiles Emacs with LUCID
2022-04-08 12:55:52 +0000 <geekosaur> GTK's not bad as UI toolkits go
2022-04-08 12:56:04 +0000 <abastro[m]> I guess emacs would be whope lot better than Eclipse at least, then
2022-04-08 12:56:05 +0000 <pantsu> they did finally port to gtk3 too which helped a bit
2022-04-08 12:56:21 +0000 <Solid> abastro[m]: of course, it's the best editor
2022-04-08 12:56:38 +0000 <abastro[m]> s/whope/whole/
2022-04-08 12:56:43 +0000 <YusefAslam[m]> pantsu: ohk
2022-04-08 12:56:46 +0000 <YusefAslam[m]> nice I guess
2022-04-08 12:56:51 +0000 <geekosaur> but they work very differently from tty-based frameworks, which means there's always been a noticeable impedance mismatch between GUI and emacs
2022-04-08 12:57:13 +0000 <abastro[m]> Hmmm
2022-04-08 12:57:27 +0000 <abastro[m]> Well it would still be better than VSCode tho
2022-04-08 12:57:44 +0000pantsuthink that the emacs gui is generally not really implemented well in general
2022-04-08 12:58:09 +0000 <abastro[m]> (The only reason I am using VSCode is basically since I don't know how to configure editors in general)
2022-04-08 12:58:28 +0000 <pantsu> lots of legacy/"deprecated" element used etc
2022-04-08 12:58:29 +0000 <abastro[m]> In the end, it is hard to be worse than Eclipse anyway
2022-04-08 12:58:53 +0000 <pantsu> no out of the box support for light/darkmode etc
2022-04-08 12:59:33 +0000 <Solid> the first step is to turn off all of the UI elements anyways :>
2022-04-08 12:59:36 +0000 <abastro[m]> Well whenever I look into gtk, I want to puke. Perhaps it is just my distaste towards C++, but ehh
2022-04-08 12:59:57 +0000 <pantsu> abastro[m]: funny since gtk is in C
2022-04-08 13:00:07 +0000 <pantsu> and the gtkmm bindings are not fantastic :p
2022-04-08 13:00:12 +0000 <abastro[m]> I should have said C
2022-04-08 13:00:28 +0000 <abastro[m]> But it does seem like gtk is built on inheritance
2022-04-08 13:00:36 +0000 <pantsu> it is
2022-04-08 13:00:42 +0000 <abastro[m]> * said C I guess
2022-04-08 13:00:55 +0000 <abastro[m]> I dislike whenever inheritance is actually used in C
2022-04-08 13:00:58 +0000 <abastro[m]> Like wja
2022-04-08 13:01:04 +0000 <abastro[m]> * Like wha
2022-04-08 13:01:07 +0000 <pantsu> partly anyway, its how they can do the memory management without driving the users insane
2022-04-08 13:01:13 +0000 <abastro[m]> Oh, that and gtk being singlethreaded
2022-04-08 13:01:35 +0000 <abastro[m]> Oh, memory management
2022-04-08 13:01:38 +0000 <pantsu> that isn't stricly true
2022-04-08 13:01:44 +0000 <abastro[m]> I guess one written in rust could be wildly different then
2022-04-08 13:01:54 +0000 <geekosaur> note that singlethreaded actually derives from X11
2022-04-08 13:02:08 +0000 <abastro[m]> Ouch
2022-04-08 13:02:23 +0000 <abastro[m]> So.. is Xmonad also singlethreaded?
2022-04-08 13:02:27 +0000 <geekosaur> you have one socket connecting to the server. multiple threads cannot meaningfully listen on that socket for responses from the X server
2022-04-08 13:02:30 +0000 <geekosaur> yes
2022-04-08 13:02:35 +0000 <pantsu> the mainloop does support threading etc, it uses callbacks for communication
2022-04-08 13:02:57 +0000 <geekosaur> well,there are parts that spawn temporary threads but they have to open their own distinct server connections
2022-04-08 13:03:07 +0000 <abastro[m]> I see, tho I heard that threading with gtk main loop is quite cumbersome
2022-04-08 13:03:08 +0000 <geekosaur> and can't share state
2022-04-08 13:03:28 +0000 <abastro[m]> But I see that with x11 it is even more severe
2022-04-08 13:03:59 +0000 <pantsu> its not that bad really
2022-04-08 13:04:36 +0000 <abastro[m]> Can you receive and handle inputs in other threads than main?
2022-04-08 13:04:55 +0000 <pantsu> but it is C after all :p (you can always use another language though, the introspection is pretty damn nice)
2022-04-08 13:05:21 +0000 <geekosaur> not without some forwarding mechanism, which is why gtk implementations come with such (postAsync and similar)
2022-04-08 13:05:44 +0000 <geekosaur> or openm your own connection, but again you can't share state in that case
2022-04-08 13:05:48 +0000 <abastro[m]> So you need forwarding mechanisms..
2022-04-08 13:06:02 +0000 <geekosaur> gtk comes with such mechanisms
2022-04-08 13:06:11 +0000 <abastro[m]> Oh so this limitation again comes from X11
2022-04-08 13:06:18 +0000 <abastro[m]> Meh
2022-04-08 13:06:19 +0000 <geekosaur> it's one reason it's so popular
2022-04-08 13:06:23 +0000 <abastro[m]> TIL X is bad
2022-04-08 13:06:33 +0000 <geekosaur> most alternatives will be no better
2022-04-08 13:06:40 +0000 <geekosaur> \multiplexed I/O is difficult at best
2022-04-08 13:07:08 +0000 <abastro[m]> Hm why do I feel so bad when programming with gtk then
2022-04-08 13:07:22 +0000 <geekosaur> and limits you to atomic transactions which often means size limitations, which makes e.g. uploading a pixmap to a server difficult
2022-04-08 13:07:36 +0000 <geekosaur> C's a lousy language for such things
2022-04-08 13:08:02 +0000 <abastro[m]> Eh it felt decent enough for making OS
2022-04-08 13:08:04 +0000 <geekosaur> I don't feel any worseprogramming GTK than programming anything else in C, but I'm kinda inured to it since C was my first language
2022-04-08 13:08:17 +0000 <geekosaur> but after something like Haskell, oh god does C feel klunky
2022-04-08 13:08:25 +0000 <abastro[m]> My first language is C as well
2022-04-08 13:08:54 +0000 <YusefAslam[m]> My first language is Bash LOL
2022-04-08 13:08:59 +0000 <abastro[m]> And tbh while I feel C to be klunky, it doesn't go that bad when I avoid resorting to inheritance
2022-04-08 13:09:14 +0000 <abastro[m]> Procedural programming has worked well for me
2022-04-08 13:10:16 +0000 <geekosaur> well, inheritance in C is just as klunky as the rest of it. but gtk didn't invent that either
2022-04-08 13:10:25 +0000 <geekosaur> go look at Xt/Xaw sometime
2022-04-08 13:10:42 +0000 <abastro[m]> Oh I don't even know about Xt soo
2022-04-08 13:11:04 +0000 <geekosaur> no, it's mostly well forgotten :)
2022-04-08 13:11:09 +0000 <abastro[m]> Plus, I did feel simulating inheritance in C more problematic than typical C programming
2022-04-08 13:11:19 +0000 <geekosaur> the poriginal X toolkit. ugly as sin
2022-04-08 13:12:22 +0000 <geekosaur> come to think of it, Motif was implemented on top of Xt too
2022-04-08 13:12:32 +0000 <geekosaur> so did the same kind of "inheritance"
2022-04-08 13:13:48 +0000 <abastro[m]> Like that one toy OS task where there was page "class" with uninitialized page, memory-backed page and file-backed page inheriting it
2022-04-08 13:13:49 +0000 <geekosaur> GTK's is actually cleaner and mostly safer than the original
2022-04-08 13:14:41 +0000 <geekosaur> at least you get an assert if you inherit fromthe wrong thing, instead of a core dump
2022-04-08 13:14:43 +0000 <abastro[m]> Many fields inside the page "class" which is used or not used depending on which "subclass" it resides on
2022-04-08 13:14:47 +0000 <abastro[m]> It was a nightmare to me
2022-04-08 13:15:15 +0000 <abastro[m]> Oh, so gtk's implementation of inheritance was at least slightly better
2022-04-08 13:17:01 +0000 <geekosaur> re pages, that's true even without subclassing
2022-04-08 13:17:28 +0000 <geekosaur> a zero page has very little associated state, but you still have to tell the MMU about it
2022-04-08 13:17:30 +0000 <abastro[m]> Well yeah but it got even worse with subclassinf
2022-04-08 13:17:51 +0000 <abastro[m]> s/subclassinf/subclassing/
2022-04-08 13:18:33 +0000 <abastro[m]> I forgot to mention that the "methods" implemented are quite limited, and somehow, general functionality has to go in each of those methods.
2022-04-08 13:19:24 +0000 <abastro[m]> I am fine with zero page, tho equating anonymous page and file page, then page cache was nightmare
2022-04-08 13:19:56 +0000 <geekosaur> it is anyway. sounds good in theory, painful to implement in practice
2022-04-08 13:21:51 +0000 <geekosaur> (was this minix btw? it's been a few years and my book is long gone, to say nothing of the disk that came with it)
2022-04-08 13:22:08 +0000 <abastro[m]> What is minix?
2022-04-08 13:23:16 +0000 <geekosaur> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_Systems:_Design_and_Implementation
2022-04-08 13:24:38 +0000 <geekosaur> quite a few of us bought that book just toget our hands on minix, back in the day. reportedly it also inspired linux torvalds to develop linux
2022-04-08 13:25:49 +0000 <abastro[m]> Oh, I was more talking about my uni assignment on toy OS dev
2022-04-08 13:25:59 +0000 <geekosaur> minix was a message-passing microkernel, so while a little slow it was easy to modify and easy to see how all the pieces fit together
2022-04-08 13:26:07 +0000 <geekosaur> right, minix was such a toy os
2022-04-08 13:26:19 +0000 <geekosaur> and the book was intended for such courses
2022-04-08 13:26:20 +0000 <abastro[m]> Took debugging of millions of multithreading bugs
2022-04-08 13:26:35 +0000 <abastro[m]> What I worked with was pintos
2022-04-08 13:28:28 +0000 <abastro[m]> I don't know how message-passing kernel would work, but it sounds like it would be easier to work with
2022-04-08 13:29:05 +0000 <geekosaur> they're mostly slower than traditional kernels but a lot more secure and easier to understand and work with
2022-04-08 13:29:28 +0000 <geekosaur> windows and macos are both based on message-passing systems
2022-04-08 13:29:45 +0000 <abastro[m]> Hmm perhaps pintos is also message-passing then? Idk
2022-04-08 13:29:48 +0000 <abastro[m]> https://pintos-os.org/
2022-04-08 13:29:54 +0000 <abastro[m]> ^ what I was talking about
2022-04-08 13:30:35 +0000 <abastro[m]> Could be smaller than minix, considering how I was able to implement some parts towards working OS in the end
2022-04-08 13:31:57 +0000 <abastro[m]> Wait, its VM part seems to be largely left out for students to flesh details out
2022-04-08 13:32:19 +0000 <geekosaur> from the slides it's a traditional architecture, not microkernel
2022-04-08 13:32:44 +0000 <abastro[m]> What is microkernel?
2022-04-08 13:33:08 +0000 <abastro[m]> Perhaps I simply read that as "kernel"
2022-04-08 13:33:13 +0000 <abastro[m]> Traditional architecture?
2022-04-08 13:33:29 +0000 <geekosaur> in essence you have a tiny fixed scheduler, then the kernel consists of independent processes that communicate with each other (typically via messages)
2022-04-08 13:33:52 +0000 <geekosaur> a traditional architecture has the kernel as a single large chunk, like linux
2022-04-08 13:34:02 +0000 <abastro[m]> Oh, I see
2022-04-08 13:34:27 +0000 <abastro[m]> Microkernel sounds nicer to code in with separation of concerns (tho I have no experience in them)
2022-04-08 13:34:44 +0000 <abastro[m]> Easier to hack stuff together randomly in traditional architecture
2022-04-08 13:35:35 +0000 <abastro[m]> Anyway it seems like, instead of letting students to write the virtual memory managenent, the prof decided to write down sh*tty, hard-to-extend code with many limitations and meh inheritance schemes
2022-04-08 13:36:07 +0000 <abastro[m]> The nicer parts of it seem to come from original pintos code
2022-04-08 13:43:29 +0000 <abastro[m]> (Sorry for the rant)

2022-04-08 21:03:51 +0000 <liskin> Saw a tweet of someone getting train tickets for ZuriHac. Shall I start worrying about that as well? :-)
2022-04-08 21:20:53 +0000 <tdammers> depends where you're traveling from, and how hard you depend on those train tickets to be cheap
2022-04-08 21:22:37 +0000 <tdammers> fwiw, I booked mine a couple weeks ago
2022-04-08 22:13:09 +0000 <liskin> We intend to use the budget from donations for the travel, so being cheap is more of a PR thing than anything personal.
2022-04-08 22:13:34 +0000 <liskin> And I have no idea where I'll be traveling from :-)
2022-04-08 22:14:01 +0000geekosaurwonders if he should get in his claim now, then
2022-04-08 22:14:07 +0000 <liskin> But booking a place to stay might be a good idea anyway as the destination isn't going to change
2022-04-08 22:14:14 +0000 <geekosaur> not that I'm capable of going to zurihac or much of anything else :(
2022-04-08 22:15:46 +0000 <liskin> So where are people staying for ZuriHac? Random airbnbs/bookings nearby or some specific tips?
2022-04-08 22:15:55 +0000 <liskin> geekosaur: :-(
2022-04-08 22:19:03 +0000 <liskin> geekosaur: Speaking of the budget though, I don't think our European travels are going to make much of a dent in it, so you're probably not necessarily in a rush.
2022-04-08 22:20:36 +0000 <liskin> And I'm getting a proper job soon meaning someone's going to be paying for my mental health shit and I'll have way less uncertainty in my life and I don't think I'll be spending less time on the xmonad project than now so I'm somewhat optimistic about the future :-)
