#commonLisp #introductory #demo #programming with #systems of #packages using #asdf https://screwlisp.small-web.org/programming/completely-reasonable-common-lisp-asdf-system-with-eev-demo/

in my opinion, any other description of what to do describes special-purpose advanced convenience functions. It /really/ is this easy.

I include #emacs #eev support (which is transparent to the common lisp if you are not using it) since having a lisp environment at all is somewhat inevitable to using lisp, and pressing F8 over and over again is pretty easy to do.

Thoughts!?

Does anyone know if Fedex drivers are allowed to leave your package up outside stairs if your apartment is up the stairs in a 4-plex?

Having a panic attack he'll leave the 2 very large rolled up area rugs at the bottom of the stairs, or worse at the front of the house and I will have to drag them around back and upstairs by myself

As an Israeli living in the U.S., there are two things I will never fully get used to:

The cutest thing being silly everywhere you go, a.k.a squirrels.

And the fact that packages just… arrive at your door!

Like poof — magic.

No chasing slips, no trekking to the post office, no wondering if the package was rerouted to a secret underground facility guarded by dragons (hi Portugal ).

In Israel , getting a package is a mission.

And in Portugal, it was a full-blown treasure hunt.

But here?

I open the door and BAM.

It's there. Every time.

I joke with my Israeli friend that this whole system is reason enough to move

My dad sends me a care package from Israel every few months — think Bamba, hostage yellow ribbons, the local newspaper, and the latest trends packed into one box.

Today, I got one.

And yes, I filmed an unboxing (coming soon!)

It landed on my doorstep, and I’m still not over it.

I probably never will be

Migrating your #OpenProject installation?

From Docker to packages, older setups to the latest version, or even switching databases — it’s important to understand your options.

Our latest blog article outlines best practices and recommended paths to guide you through:

#openSUSE's feature review meetings are canceled from Dec 13 until Jan 6. As a #NewYear's resolution, submit more #packages to Leap 16.0; these packages require package updates on SLES side. Get more info at https://code.opensuse.org/leap/features/issues & https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/project@lists.opensuse.org/thread/LNGMV5YBIJDQO45XGRNBH2NO3OGM5ZIJ/

FreeBSD 14.2-RELEASE is officially recommended for new installations.

If you perform a new installation, I do recommend the switch to pkgbase – before exiting the installer for the operating system.

The switch is not difficult, now – and will become easier with future releases.

Your emphasis should be to minimise the traditional steps – in particular, do not rush to add a user. Things such as addition are, instead, easily performed after first boot of the installed system.

<https://old.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1gsjbm5/installing_freebsd_with_pkgbase_november_2024/>

An ultra-condensed explanation:

a) install the OS
b) install the OS

– and the second installation negates the need for future use of freebsd-update.

Yes – pictured here – will give you the so-called chroot environment, in which you can complete the switch. There's a traditional command prompt.

<https://www.freebsd.org/releases/14.2R/>

Packaging of the OS became official more than a year ago; packages are maintained by the Primary Release Engineering Team; freebsd-update is an axe candidate for 15.0; and so on.

> #Deno has taken a U-turn on #HTTPimports and #JSR does NOT allow them. JSR allows node:, npm:, and jsr: imports, but not http:.

>This is a big deal because every single pre-JSR Deno #package with dependencies used HTTP imports. That was the Deno way. Those #packages are now blocked from publishing on JSR until upstream packages do — if they do. Few are. Curiously, for an immutable registry, the package count is dropping.

Let's take a moment to relive the moments from our recent in-person gathering through these snapshots!

We had the pleasure of hosting María Paula Caldas, Data Scientist at OECD, and Julie Aubert, INRAE Research Engineer, who respectively delivered #inspiring talks on the development of #packages and statistical models using {#Tidymodels} in #R.

Are we the only ones who think it's annoying as hell that we get notified our order has shipped, only to learn three days later they only created a shipping label and the business hasn't even handed the package to a carrier yet? Can't we do better? Why not only send the notification when the package has been received by the carrier?

New checks in #namcap allow us to have an easier time adding #SPDX compliant #license identifiers for #packages!
