LLMs defacto seem resource guzzlers, and are continuously overloading websites.

This is great. Overdue if you consider the values they espouse. Quite feasible for a compiler project to ignore the network effects of Github. Is their Discord usage next :-)

There is https://tauri.app/ coming up to let Electron app developers debloat their offerings.

Thanks. I'd not want to add a 3rd thing, RSS, into the mix, so following from Mastodon might be a workaround. Ideally, I would "follow" in Lemmy itself!

True, I am looking for "get threads boosted by this account". If Mastodon did threads well, I would have stayed on it. I wouldn't care for it at all if I could also "follow" accounts on Lemmy (and the accounts that matter were on Lemmy).

BTW, I liked the idea on emacs-devel about PGO/FDO experiments. And, with a short PGO Emacs session and compiling Emacs with that profile, I see almost all the responsiveness issues disappear. What is left are slow indent-region and slow file opening, which seem unrelated to UI responsiveness.

Are there automated UI test runners? Just a matter of recording macros, or even writing out elisp, I guess. Having targeted tests and using them for PGO/FDO to do Emacs releases seems useful.

Do try Delta Chat, and Sourcehut if you have more time. They use e-mail as a transport very well.

I believe relying on Github for an account, rather than on a not-yet-existing code commons organization, is the trouble. E-mail accounts are used left and right, and Sourcehut apparently makes it easy to collaborate on code via e-mail. Delta Chat even makes chat and webapps work over e-mail!

India likely won't - we were all one entity for thousands of years and share a lot of culture - but it will want to counteract whatever China does.

My ₹1. It may depend on what you plan to write in it (for fun). The BEAM sounds great for long-running processes, but not as much for point tools; Erlang and co supposedly run slower than Python, which isn't fast either.

My other ₹ ;-) if you stick to the BEAM: OCaml sort of runs on it, as there is the Caramel project to replicate it (https://caramel.run/). One of the Erlang creators also ported Prolog to the BEAM (erlog), as well as Lua (erlua) and Lisp (LFE). Elixir is probably great, as it is inspired by Ruby (I found Ruby very pleasant, other languages have so much semantic noise).

Freebie! The BEAM inspired an inspirational design for parallel programming, the Pony language. I am somewhat sad development slowed down, it is a Rust killer.

Passively, as many sides as any other country. But nothing actively, like provoking or waging war on other countries.

Its all politicians blowing government winds in their own sails. The 2 companies minting money from ethanol blending are headed by sons of a minister.
