> Greg Smith from ISIS as well as collaborators

Didn't know ISIS gave a hoot about gluten free.


It is unfortunate that at some point in midst of numerous renaming itself after a brief stint in mass media around 2014 the programming on both side was so successful that the latin string of "isis" to this day is basically reduced in many westerners minds as a pavlovian reflex to this meaning, ironic because most arabs in egypt and elsewhere lack the association

so kudos to the article/institute, leaving as it is

great band btw

> The name ISIS is not an acronym: it refers to the Ancient Egyptian goddess and the local name for the River Thames. The name was selected for the official opening of the facility in 1985, prior to this it was known as the SNS, or Spallation Neutron Source. The name was considered appropriate as Isis was a goddess who could restore life to the dead, and ISIS made use of equipment previously constructed for the Nimrod and Nina accelerators.[0]

I work there, and when we give tours and people raise the issue, I like to point out that we had the name first and so we're not changing it. Though we did once get an official reminder that, to avoid ambiguity, we had to always say 'ISIS Neutron Source' in full on immigration and customs paperwork, especially in anything that also uses the word 'nuclear'.

It doesn't have the (any?) diffing capabilities of magit, so it's not usable for me yet.


FWIW the lem editor (basically emacs in common lisp) has its own version of magit, called legit.

https://github.com/lem-project/lem/blob/main/extensions/legi...

But I guess if you're leaving GNU emacs, you're probably not eager to jump into another emacsen.


Thanks, I left due to rsi from the chords.


I mean, both have the ability to do modal or CUA combinations instead.


I know, I tried modal emacs for a while there.


I've never found a decent magit replacement since leaving emacs over to vim. There is a Vim attempt at a magit clone, but it is buggy as hell.


lazygit is too slow for me.


The author's writing style and overuse of parentheses is excruciating. True parenthetic material is rare, good technical writers use them sparely.


I see parenthetical expressions overused all over the internet, especially in HN comments. (Don't worry, I do it sometimes, too.) A browser extension to collapse or strike through parenthetical text nested beyond a configurable level might be handy.


I can read a person’s ADHD level by their parentheses usage. Unless they are lisp programmers.


Just Yoneda Lemma. In fact it feels like the theory just restates Yoneda Lemma over and over in different ways.


And the number of things you can prove using Yoneda lemma just proves how powerful category theory is.


How is this useful?


With its own package manager now, and LSP library, you really don't need a lot of config tweaking for a minimal vim setup these days.


Putting http in between all your components creates a madness machine. Why the cult following around Martin Fowler?


Does anyone have links on how to set up multi monitor on Sway?


I use a docked ThinkPad with the lid closed and two external monitors. Here are my config bits.

  set $laptop eDP-1
  set $landscape 'Hewlett Packard HP ZR24w CNT037144C'
  set $portrait 'Hewlett Packard HP ZR24w CNT03512JN'
  bindswitch --reload --locked lid:on output $laptop disable
  bindswitch --reload --locked lid:off output $laptop enable
  
  ### Output configuration
  output $laptop bg $HOME/pictures/wallpaper/1529004448340.jpg fill
  output $landscape bg $HOME/pictures/wallpaper/1529004448340.jpg fill
  output $portrait bg $HOME/pictures/wallpaper/portrait/DYabJ0FV4AACG69.jpg fill 
  # pos args are x coords and y coords, transform is degrees of rotation counter-clockwise
  # set $portrait as left monitor and rotate it counterclockwise
  output $portrait pos 0 1200 transform 270


The default config file explains some common things you might want to do. E.g. left or right side and scaling factor.


Is this a fork, or a change in direction?


Why don't you read the article?


literally the first paragraph:

> Duranium is an immutable variant of postmarketOS, built around the idea that your device should just work, and keep working. You shouldn't need to know what a terminal is to keep your device running.


“The package base for Duranium is shared with current versions of postmarketOS, and improvements flow into both. Think of it as a different deployment model on top, not a fork.”
