Happy french developer hacking some projects ;) Mainly playing with NixOS, neovim, and a bit of Rust!

GH	https://github.com/bew

We nicely landed some documentation generation in markdown & vimhelp from Lua annotations for the #Neovim LuaSnip plugin, the best snippet engine!
https://github.com/L3MON4D3/LuaSnip/pull/1353

This is the big step toward having better in-editor LSP docs and type checking for arbitrary complex snippets definitions 🚀

Absolutely loved the collaboration on the PR !

Generate `DOC.md` from annotations by L3MON4D3 · Pull Request #1353 · L3MON4D3/LuaSnip

Some preliminary progress to unifying annotations and information living currently in DOC.md. This uses luals-mdgen to read code for rendering markdown from lua-codeblocks. This PR will implement t...

delighted to announce that my new zine "The Secret Rules of the Terminal" is out today!!

You can get it for $12 USD here: https://wizardzines.com/zines/terminal

@jbz I'm so waiting for this, my OnePlus 5 is getting old 😄

@kde Thank you for not just pushing Wayland down our throat like some distros & another DE starting with G 😬

@wez So now you're in EU timezone 😃
Hope you're well, good luck with the move!

here's the final version of the "redirects cheat sheet" draft I posted a while back!

("The Secret Rules of the Terminal" is finished! 95 beta readers have read it! the copy editor is done! technical review is done! the illustrator has made the cover! It's going to be out on *****Tuesday June 24*****")

I have the domain probably-not-malware.lol, what is the most suspicious thing I can put on it?

@cpages Nice j'avais loupé l'info, jvais essayé de venir (1ere fois)

@madkiwi @brazel you are both of.course correct. Whatsapp very likely wants email addresses to improve.meta's tracking machine accuracy and reach, and sell it under "for your security" because it sounds much better.

@ariasuni saw the same today, was very puzzled for a minute ^^'

At least they made sure everyone knows they started their enshitification process for that

The reason this zine is called "The Secret Rules of the Terminal" is that I learned more useful things while writing this zine than when writing any other zine, even though I've been using the terminal every day for 20 years.

It really left me feeling like the terminal is full of hidden secrets -- because "the terminal" is made up of so many different pieces, there's no single terminal manual you can read!

Here's the table of contents (which as a bonus shows the components of the terminal!)

Daniel Landau 3d ago

@b0rk I've used the terminal for a long time too and know quite a few of its secrets, but back when you did the (a?) survey a while back I went to answer it fully expecting to learn some new secrets and was happy to indeed learn.

Paul Emerson 3d ago

@b0rk purchased. Thank you for your hard work on this!

@b0rk congrats on the zine. Can't wait to read!

@b0rk it looks so cool 😎

João S. O. Bueno 1d ago

@b0rk I plan in the next few months to resume working on my Terminedia ASCII art/ Terminal framework.

I feel confident the information in this zine will teach me a lot and allow me to include some nice features and behaviors there

@b0rk OMG this illustration is SO clever!

Julia Evans 3d ago

@mjd the illustrator (Vladimir) is SO good, often he puts in fun little touches that even I miss until much later

@b0rk @mjd out of curiosity, did you only "outsource" the cover or do you have all your drawings done by (other) professionals? Can you share details of Vladimir, is he available for other projects too? I like your work and this cover is also amazing.

Julia Evans 3d ago

@svenk @mjd yeah I draw everything except the cover (though often with a lot of help from Marie https://marieflanagan.com/)

this is Vladimir's instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_vlo3y_/

@b0rk It reminds me of Gary Overacre's “Unix Magic” poster. https://archive.org/details/unix-magic-poster-gary-overcare-1

The classic UNIX magic poster by Overacre was distributed at past USENIX conferences and featured a white bearded wizard with UNIX related things around him,...

@mjd that was definitely an inspiration

@mjd @b0rk oh I definitely worked with that guy in college (the one depicted I mean, not the illustrator)

P.J. Meisch 3d ago

@b0rk Bought it. Now I must find where I store the other (git) and put it alongside.

@b0rk congrats on launch! I love how many zines you've made. zines are the best (this is pam btw from cegep)

@b0rk instant buy decision! Amazing work!

@b0rk Cool cover! The middle woman looks a lot like Franka:

@b0rk just picked up my copy! I remembered excitedly that I actually own a color printer now, so I'll be printing this and other ones that I've picked up previously 😁

@b0rk we need more of this cover’s energy in the world

Parsnicketty 3d ago

@b0rk yesss I love your zines. I have debugging, bite size command line, and oh shit git. <3

@b0rk Does this solidly Canadian product have a bulk rate for meetups and conferences? Asking for a friend. 😃

Julia Evans 3d ago

@WordCampCanada very happy to set something up for you! just email support@wizardzines.com

Tony Papoušek 3d ago

@b0rk ordered - excited for the print!

Raven667 3d ago

@b0rk got it, thanks for all the hard work compiling all this info. I'm digging the cover art, trying to catch every piece of visual language, like the obvious fish in the bowl but also the glob in a globe, color pallete and other fun details.

Power_to_the_People (he/him)3d ago

@b0rk Wow, this looks great, & it's probably exactly what I need! I'm an old codger who's been using Linux for years, but limited to GUI. Now there's a program that I want mucho, but its package isn't in my distro's repositories. Tried "winging it" via the terminal, but no joy and I don't know why. I think you may just have saved the day! Ordering the zine asap! Many thanks!

@b0rk as a real nerd I prefer plain text documents …

@b0rk this looks so friggin’ cool, I had to buy it in print too.

@b0rk the table of contents is sort of short... how many pages is the publication actually?

@b0rk Just bought / discovered this zine, a delightful moment for me who is at best an occasional terminal user. It will help preventing me from procrastinating myself away from the terminal. An instant buy and a steal at $12.

@b0rk Just purchased a copy!

leberschnitzel 2d ago

@b0rk all of those Zines look great! Will order the printed ones once I moved :)

Matt Zagaja 2d ago

@b0rk this is the best $12 I've spent this month

@b0rk just bought this - looks excellent. Can't wait to have a thumb through this evening.

@b0rk aaand printed too! After debugging why my printer kept saying "Out of Memory". Love it!

@b0rk
Congratulations! Proud to be a small part of this as a beta reader. Will order a print for my collection.

Vaishali Thakkar 1d ago

@b0rk Wow, that illustration is amazing 🤩

@b0rk I don't know if this code is from you or from the platform, but it has made my day.

Sindarina, Edge Case Detective 1d ago

@b0rk I am a bit confused; why does the store demand that I supply a full billing address, including a valid phone number, when I am just buying a download link to a PDF, and you already get my email address 'in case you need to contact me about my order'?

Julia Evans 1d ago

@sindarina your email address is so you can get a confirmation email with a link to the PDF

but the phone number part is silly, i wish i could turn that off, you can just enter a fake phone number

Sindarina, Edge Case Detective 1d ago

@b0rk Yeah, I understand why you need the email, I guess the rest is just the shop SaaS, heh.
