Dependency explosion is a problem and maybe the time is ripe to start thinking about how clever it is to rely on hundreds of tiny components you don't know, don't control and that keep changing.

Sudo-rs dependencies: when less is better - Blog - Tweede golf

When sudo-rs development started, we added several dependencies using Rust’s crates ecosystem to quickly ramp up development. During development we accrued approximately 135 transitive (direct and ...

But people use curl because it's tried and true tech which has stood the test of time.

What you're suggesting is that curl developers should stop using packages and libraries which have stood the test of time.

Reductio ad absurdum, if we go down that path, what you're proposing is that we should all stop using libcurl for the same reasons and reinvent it from scratch.

Point being, you can't disparage other tried and true packages without disparaging the tried and true curl package.

in the end, their approach to dependencies is actually quite a sensible one:

- when in prototype phase, use any dependencies that can simplify development

- when transitioning out of the prototype phase, evaluate your dependencies and whether they pose a problem (security, maintenance, etc)

- if it is a problem, work on eliminating them, beginning with ones used the least, and stop when the problem is solved

IMO this approach strikes a nice balance between the extremes of "write everything ourselves from scratch" and "ten thousand transitive dependencies"

We are happy to announce that DAVx5 4.3.15 is now available (also on #fdroid @fdroidorg).

* Great parts have been rewritten to Compose and (will be finalized in 4.3.16)
* We've changed how we use various sync types, resulting in much less used system sync quota. This means a much more reliable scheduled background sync. Hope you enjoy the new version! 😀

Actually I had (background)-synchronization issues since a long time. I think it is mainly related to the OS (ShiftOS) which is still based on Android 10 (also other accounts fail to sync in the background). I think there used to be an option in DAVx5 to force a foreground service or something like this. Enabling this option made synchronization reliable. I think this option was removed a few versions ago or I don't find it anymore. Now synchronization is bad again.

I see! Thanks for letting me know. 👍
BTW. Is it this commit?

For this device Android 13 is about to be released. Do you think this might improve things without the need of a foreground service?

Having a moment of appreciation for Activity Monitor after realizing you can double click on processes

you can view context about interactions with the OS (which I guess macOS is just tracking?), every open handle, and there's just a whole profiler (!) here that no one talks about? I think you can even load .dSYMs to get more detailed function information.

this is suddenly one of the coolest "task manager" programs I have used.

detailed process information for a simple program to find prime numbers, written in C++. It has 1 thread, 1 page in, and 11 ports open, 0 Mach messages in/out. The program has a CPU time of 13.50, the process has triggered 1185 context switches, has triggered 225 page faults, 67 Mach system calls, and 42748 Unix system calls.
A snapshot from the profiler for the primes calculator. It shows the program spends 99.741% of it's time in main(), with the other 0.215% of the time spent inside std::basic_ostream printing to the console. This is then further broken down into std::endl and other functions to output chars.
Open files for the primes program. The only files open are $HOME/Desktop, $HOME/Desktop/primes, and /dev/ttys003

What if *any* website could be turned into a canvas with a single click?

Rebuilt my website (orionreed.com) last night and added DOM<->Canvas translation allowing you to "break out" into a multiplayer @tldraw canvas at any point.

I am not ashamed to say, this brought tears to my eyes a little bit. Welcome to my elementary school years, all the way up until 2003 when I got a braille note, but then used a braille lite 2000, with an 18 cel display. i grew up with a Classic, never had a 640, but did play with an APH scholar with the ARtic/votrax chip. You know it'd be fun to have a piper voice, with the slightly more inflected votrax chip. @BorrisInABox what is the one in like the transbook/accent, which are similar but different.

Is there any chance we can encourage you to trend #NVIDIA when that's the company you mean, please? I know what their NASDAQ handle is, but #NVDA is much more widely known as the name of the screen reader we make and the #NVDA hashtag is very widely used for the screen reader. It will save both our communities polluting each other's feeds. If you'd like to find out more about the screen reader, our website is nvaccess.org/ - Thank you!

Hey folks.

As you know, development is in full swing for both #Fipamo and #TheBadSpace. Both are coming along well, and I’m glad I've put so much time into them because they are getting to a really good place.

I also started an org to house both projects because they have become more than personal endeavors, so they need to be treated as such, especially since they are about to open up to people who want to contribute.

Funding the org is a significant priority for me this year. I want to get both projects out as soon as possible, but I'm realizing I can't do it all myself. It's been a big learning curve for me, but it's coming along.

The challenge currently is having enough resources to maintain my current pace while the organization's funding process takes its course. Applying for grants is a time-consuming and long process, but it will ultimately pay off in the long run.

However, until that happens, I need some help getting through the next couple of months. Ideally, 4k would be enough to hold everything together to keep working, as I'm fortunate enough to have low overhead.

And always, don't feel bad if you can't give because every kind word and affirmation is also valuable. Just boost it and spread it around to get eyes on it.

Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Thanks in advance for your kindness and support. My work is challenging in many ways, but knowing that it helps people carve out space here makes it all worth it.

And the exciting part is that the best is still to come.
