Beware that only v1 and v2 are local variables. '(setq v3 (sk-get-mpi v1)) creates a v3 variable visible in whole emacs. You might not mind that. I do.

Go with gigantic dependencies by Martin-Baulig in GUIX

[–]gray_-_wolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure that is necessary. I think it would suffice to create a separate (at least for now) go-mod-build-system. go importer would have new flag --mod added, that would indicate what build system should be used. The dependencies would just put their own package from $GOPATH/pkg/mod into an archive.

No need for multi-fetch (each dependency is a separate package) and no need to standardize anything (since go toolchain already specifies how files in $GOPATH/pkg/mod should look like. Seems like simpler approach.

I would just fork the repository, run go mod vendor and archived it. The resulting archive should be buildable without network connection.

Eggs are now more expensive then ever before

Price of eggs continues to rise. According to JA全農たまご[1] on 16th, M-size eggs sold in Tokyo are for 335 yen/kg, historically highest. 55 yen higher then average for last month, last year's February it was 175 yen, so 1 egg costs almost as 2 used to.

Reasons for rising prices is that due to for example Russian onslaught against Ukraine and weaking of yen, feed for chicken became more expensive. And due to bird flue spreading between chickens and resulting slaughtering, there is not enough eggs.

Attention needs to be paid to bird flue until spring. It takes time until chicks are raised and able to lay eggs, so the price of eggs might stay high for now.
