#WritingMonth check-in.
How is everyone doing?
I wrote a short prologue for my novel tonight. I have had this scene involving soda in my mind for a long time. After a bit of research, I found I can legally refer to Mountain Dew in the context of this vignette.

@nantucketlit @amin @bbbhltz @rl_dane @adhemara @roguefoam I've written a grand total of 71 words of my 10,000 word goal.
I need to sit down and write some more.
@orbitalmartian @nantucketlit @amin @bbbhltz @adhemara @roguefoam
PROGRESSSSS!!! XD
@rl_dane @nantucketlit @amin @bbbhltz @adhemara @roguefoam Any progress is good progress, I really need to sit down and spend some time writing.
Maybe I need to add a WritingMonth mode to my text editor (which is funnily enough what's been taking my attention from writing).
@orbitalmartian @nantucketlit @amin @bbbhltz @adhemara @roguefoam
Which editor, and what would the mode do? :)

Haven't tried it yet but I assume it's just running "python main.py" at this point, or something like that. There may be dependencies needed, I dunno.
A good long term goal for Orbital may be to use something like hatch to manage dependencies, building the package, etc. I've been moving most of my Python projects to it, including a bunch of Clew's stuff, and plan to move Writing Month to use it.

python main.py. I need to commit a quick change because I forgot that I changed a filename so it's trying to pull an old one through.@orbitalmartian @amin @nantucketlit @rl_dane @bbbhltz @adhemara @roguefoam
if you don't like that you have to manually call it with python, you could add a #! on the first line like
$ ./apollo
Hallo
$ cat apollo
#!/bin/env python
print("Hallo")

I think I've seen /usr/bin/env more often than /bin/env but they both appear to work on my system.

mirabilosenv is canonically in /usr/bin and you must use that pathname if you use it for pth searches in shebangs and the likes#!/bin/env python3 is actually worse than #!/usr/bin/python3 as the latter works on more systems. (#!/usr/bin/env python3 is preferrable, of course.)@mirabilos @bbbhltz @nantucketlit @kabel42 @amin @orbitalmartian @roguefoam
I know /sbin was typically for statically-compiled binaries (although this is not always the case anymore, even on OpenBSD, IIRC) vs /bin, and of course /usr/local/bin is for Ports on BSD or user-installed packages on Linux (lol sigh), but what was the distinction between /bin and /usr/bin?
man hier on Debian says that /bin is for binaries needed for single-user mode, although debian now just symlinks /bin to /usr/bin XD
@rl_dane @bbbhltz @nantucketlit @kabel42 @amin @orbitalmartian @roguefoam
/usr/local/bin is for Ports on BSD or user-installed packages on Linux
This is a bit of a bad decision on the OpenBSD side, but they almost certainly didnāt know it back then and /usr/local/include being on the default include path helped them back then.
/usr/local is for stuff the local admin puts there. Packages should use something else (e.g. /usr/pkg in pkgsrcĀ®, /usr/mpkg in MirPorts).
