#EmptyOctober Afterbirth In the bonfire's flame, you see a vision of someone else's life- A Daughter. A beautiful Daughter. Maybe it screams like a banshee, and ruins your sleep. But it makes you a Mother. Like you were meant to be. It's your little gift from God.

With Riff, you can cd into a Rust project, run `riff shell` to enter a shell with external dependencies available, and then run commands like `cargo build` without worrying about commonly missing dependencies like OpenSSL, Protobuf, and SystemConfiguration on macOS.

Symbolic function induction in #Picat: hakank.org/picat/symbolic_fu… It solves integer sequences puzzles such as: * "1,2,6,42,1806,?" * "1+4=5, 2+5=12, 3+6=21, 5+8=?" * "11x11=4, 22x22=16, 33x33=?" by enumerating all possible solutions (with infix functions). It's a lot of examples.

The more I use Nix the more I love it. It started with managing my macOS user environment with home-manager, then installed NixOS on a Raspberry Pi 4 that functions as my home server. Later started using it at work, to provide self-contained and reproducible dev environments.

Who called it BUILD_SHARED_LIBS and not CMAKE_IT_SO?

I want complex code to be portable between any compiler or tool even if one tool uses a more powerful prover for type checking and another sees a different version of third party libraries. I want to store along each source file a versioned cache of all this information.
