Great! If you get a chance, I’d be interested to hear about your rtx complaints.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tool to manage CLI tools⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I’m not who you asked, and not a user of pkgx, but one of the reasons I prefer rtx (which supports asdf plugins) to asdf is that by default it doesn’t use shims, but updates the PATH instead.

So for example, running which python will show me a clearly versioned python executable path, rather than a mysterious shim that represents a different realpath at different times.

No Zsh support for now, and maybe no user fonts?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Community Programming stuck ?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Well I’m not experiencing the bug, so can’t provide proper information. If you are, it would be helpful to report it.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Show me a better text format for serializing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Ah, well I love that policy (types being in code, not configs). FWIW I sometimes use it as a hand-edited document, with a small type-specifying file, to generate json/yaml/toml for other programs to load.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Show me a better text format for serializing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Ever tried NestedText? It’s like basic YAML but everything is a string (types are up to the code that ingests it), and you never ever need to escape a character.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which language you wish would really grow and reach mainstream adoption?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Factor!

I mentioned it in a reply but it deserves its own top-level answer.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which language you wish would really grow and reach mainstream adoption?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Sorry I don’t know how to kbin yet. Maybe the link provided by the bot that replied to me is better?

Are there any concatenative/stack/Factor kbin magazines you know of?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which language you wish would really grow and reach mainstream adoption?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
There are some concatenative-related discord links in the sidebar of programming.dev/c/concatenative you may or may not be able to stand.

Anyway answering the main post: Factor (stack/concatenative), Nim, Roc, Zsh

Your example was probably not a real case, but I checked with my swiftkey and after “Roman” it suggested “reigns” “catholic” and “Empire”
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wrote hacky tampermonkey script to fix Lemmy instance links. Any advice?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I meant to communicate that the Redirector addon uses the given pattern to see if the entire URL string matches, not part of it. So the malicious URL does not match.

I’m wondering if there’s a real URL for which the Redirector approach will not work.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wrote hacky tampermonkey script to fix Lemmy instance links. Any advice?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I’m not trying to be combative, I’m trying to understand. I’d like to see the failure in action so I can appreciate and pursue the proposed solution.

But when I added the community bit to the first URL, the browser resolved it and stripped the credentials, so the resulting URL matched. But the example credentials weren’t real so it’s not a great test; if there’s an real example I can test, please share it. Though I don’t see why I’d auth to an instance just to view it from a different instance.

When I added the community bit to the second URL, it was not a match, as it shouldn’t be. The pattern must match the entire URL.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wrote hacky tampermonkey script to fix Lemmy instance links. Any advice?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
user:pw@lemdro.id:443 is a valid url to lemdro.id and should match but will not

Well that one:
- technically shouldn’t match, because it’s not a community URL
- is not the form I expect and want to be using for this case
- may actually work (if it were a real community link, which again, it’s not), because after authentication I think the browser strips the credentials
maliciouswebsite.to/?q=http://lemdro.id will match but should not

No, it does not match.

AFAICT, this solution is working properly, but if you can find a URL that breaks it, please let me know.

Can you provide an example URL that breaks this solution?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wrote hacky tampermonkey script to fix Lemmy instance links. Any advice?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I just posted this on the post you linked, but yeah I am hardcoding a list of instances into my solution. Here’s my comment, copied:

I’m using the Firefox addon Redirector, and one of my rules there redirects community links using regex. I keep adding to the pattern as I encounter more instances. Currently it’s:
```
Pattern: https://(lemdro\.id|lemmy\.run|beehaw\.org|lemmy\.ml|sh\.itjust\.works|lemmy\.fmhy\.ml|lemmy\.dbzer0\.com|lemmy\.world|sopuli\.xyz|lemmy\.kde\.social|lemmygrad\.ml|mander\.xyz|lemmy\.ca|zerobytes\.monster)/c/(.*)
```
```

nestedtext.org

It’s like yaml but simple, consistent, untyped, and you never need to escape any characters, ever.

Types and validation aren’t going to be great unless they’re in the actual code anyway.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Announcing August! An Emmet-like language that produces JSON, TOML, or YAML, written in Rust⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

I wanted to try using yamlpath (yaml-set in particular) to recreate the first example, even though the usage model doesn’t quite match up. It’s a bit tedious because I don’t think you can do unrelated replacements in a single command:

$ &lt;&lt;&lt;'{}' yaml-set -g ignored.hello -a world | yaml-set -g tabwidth -a 2 -F dquote | yaml-set -g trailingComma -a all | yaml-set -g singleQuote -a true -F dquote | yaml-set -g semi -a true -F dquote | yaml-set -g printwidth -a 120 -F dquote | yaml-get -p .

Trying to make it neater with Zsh and (forbidden) use of eval:

$ reps=(ignored.hello world tabwidth 2 trailingComma all singleQuote true semi true printwidth 120) cmd=()
$ for k v ( ${(kv)reps} )  cmd+=(yaml-set -g $k -a $v -F dquote \|)
$ &lt;&lt;&lt;'{}' eval $cmd yaml-get -p .
