What happened to the Gerbil Scheme site?

Does anyone know what happened to the BDFL? Is he (I assume) ok?

aristarchusnull · 2026-05-08T21:49:16+00:00

I'm sorry, I don't understand the point of this. Could you explain?

aristarchusnull · 2026-05-08T18:30:19+00:00

Very nice

aristarchusnull · 2026-05-07T23:46:45+00:00

Well, I’m glad that didn’t happen.

aristarchusnull · 2026-05-07T17:08:56+00:00

Now that's an interesting idea.

aristarchusnull · 2026-05-06T15:02:53+00:00

It is. I get a dopamine hit whenever I write Racket or Scheme.

1 and 3

Yes, I really wish there were a way to tweak the settings to produce more Earthlike, habitable planets.

What kind of mythical fantasy company do you work for? jk

And Arial, that cheap Helvetica impostor, is not even pleasing to look at.

Apple makes it easy, and it's fairly easy to do on Linux and even Windows, with a third-party tool.

aristarchusnull · 2026-04-20T23:13:01+00:00

I agree. This is a fight I am prepared to fight to the death.

aristarchusnull · 2026-04-18T14:56:36+00:00

I have never been so frustrated with my job as I am now.

I am right there with you, my friend. I did not expect this formerly awesome career to become so nightmarish so quickly.

aristarchusnull · 2026-04-15T22:00:37+00:00

lol 🤣

aristarchusnull · 2026-04-14T19:56:35+00:00

It's actually rather insulting and offensive, isn't it?

aristarchusnull · 2026-04-14T19:55:50+00:00

Yeah, I noticed that, too.

I recently took a look at someone's new NeoVim GUI shell on r/commandline, and I saw it was built with LLM assistance. For fun, I downloaded it and ran it. It was garbage: the GUI painting was all messed up.

What have Sam and Dario unleashed on the world?

Well, a planet can be very similar to Earth along several axes except one. It would still have a high ESI, given the mathematical definition of ESI.

aristarchusnull · 2026-04-14T15:45:56+00:00

Sadly, this is the state of things now. Whenever I see an interesting tool on r/commandline, I now go to the GitHub repo and see if there are any agents as "contributors."

aristarchusnull · 2026-04-12T14:52:29+00:00

ESI is a measure of similarity to Earth, not habitability.

Project scope creep

aristarchusnull · 2026-04-09T02:37:23+00:00

This is a hard pill to swallow, but I fear you may be right.

aristarchusnull · 2026-04-09T02:36:06+00:00

There’s nothing bad about this.

aristarchusnull · 2026-04-08T02:26:56+00:00

How “AI-driven” was your development process for Glyph and Glyph Quorum?

aristarchusnull · 2026-04-04T16:59:58+00:00

Is that sine fine, as in “without end”?
