• Tags, links, subtrees: how to categorize my captures?

  Another option is to use something like ebuku.

• Is there anyway to extract the first page of an epub as image so I can use it in lf previewer

  i remember looking at that Google style guide a while back, and not being enthused about it. It's true my style across my POSIX scripts isn't yet entirely consistent, as i'm new to writing POSIX shell scripts, and am still working out what's best for me, as the person who's going to be the primary maintainer. Still, i believe my style to be basically consistent within a given script. Having been programming for a few decades now - although i only started coding-for-pay in the late 90s, starting with Perl - i've developed my own preferences regarding code layout (such as in my ELisp packages, e.g. Ebuku), and nowadays take the approach: I'll follow others' style in others' projects, and will generally try to follow common style standards in my own projects, but will modify them as needed when i find they're not conducive to my work.

• PSA: You can't build GCC 11 with mold
  7 projects | /r/Gentoo | 13 Sep 2022

  Well, indeed, i certainly wasn't expecting you to do so! But i already have more than enough volunteer FOSS stuff on my plate as it is (e.g. Ebuku, pulseaudio-control, s6-man-pages, execline-man-pages and guides, amongst various other things), and not using mold with gcc 11 is no problem for me at this point. So i've just noted the issue with the patch on the wiki page, and the patch will have to be updated by someone for whom it's more important.

• Unix legend, who owes us nothing, keeps fixing foundational AWK code. "'I have tested this a fair amount but clearly more tests are needed,' Kernighan wrote in the email ... 'I will try to submit a pull request. I wish I understood git better'"

  Fair point. Still, as a FOSS dev myself, i feel that the title might serve as a useful reminder to a number of their readers. Particularly when so many people use FOSS developed by large corporations, and see themselves as 'customers' entitled to 'responsive service'[a] that those of us who aren't a corporation aren't necessarily in a position to provide (even if we do try to provide 'best effort'). The contents of the screencap for one of my FOSS projects is not random. :-)

• How to organize bookmarks using emacs?
  6 projects | /r/emacs | 17 Jul 2022

  Based on your post headline, i was going to suggest my Ebuku package, an Emacs frontend to the buku Web bookmark manager - i use it myself, and it has support for both tags and comments on links. But it doesn't meet your requirement of capturing from the browser; i copy-and-paste the URL from the browser into an Emacs prompt.

• Compiling OpenBSD's Kernel with -O3 to spot bugs in code idea taken from Phoronix and Linux?
  1 project | /r/openbsd | 26 Jun 2022

  Me asking for actual data about the the extent to which various arguments to the -O flag is me "trying to argue with you" and "having a bad day"? Er, what? i'm saying your assertions might well be correct, but as a dev myself (here's some of the stuff i've been doing during our exchange), i want some concrete data in support of this, because "premature optimisation is the root of all evil" (cf. "Rob Pike's 5 Rules of Programming").

• Desktop setup

  Not beyond playing around a bit with Squeak. i like Smalltalk's message-passing approach to OO, and i like how thoroughly modifiable the environment is. i haven't spent enough time to know how easily it can interface with the system on which the image is running; one of the things i like about Emacs is that, in addition to being so modifiable itself, it provides lots of support for interacting with software outside of itself. (E.g. i wrote an Emacs package which provides an Emacs UI for the CLI-based buku Web bookmark manager: Ebuku.)
