On macOS, the correct thing to use is usually NSUserDefaults API, or - [NSFileManager URLsForDirectory:inDomains:] with NSApplicationSupportDirectory (gives a list of paths to find your config file in, like XDG_CONFIG_DIRS)

Yup. Gentoo people are working on it as well. This is only a problem on 32-bit Linux too, right?

L is real 0412

Since jujutsu is Git-compatible it has very much replaced Git for me and is what I’m using for everything now. Its workflow is so good and miles ahead of Git.

I was trying out Pijul for a while before that and while it has a lot of great ideas and has a lot of potential due to the way its foundations work its interface is way too janky right now and missing features and nothing I’ve reported or the many changes I’ve submitted have been fixed/pulled since March. I’d really like it to be good but alas…

Ooooh thanks! I’ll use that a lot.

They do actually, the iTunes store still exists. I haven’t used it though since while it’s DRM free at this point, it’s not lossless.

For iOS, Go Map!! (source) has a similar quests system. I don’t know how well they hold up to StreetComplete though, I’ve never used the latter.

Also, obligatory https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/How_to_contribute!

Ah, alright. Thanks for looking!

I wouldn’t even know how to hold a local music library on macOS these days. The app that used to be iTunes is now just called Music right?

Yeah. I have a local library consisting of some albums I bought, some which aren’t on streaming services, and some other stuff such as game soundtracks + also use Apple Music streaming. They complement each other really well.

The bingo one actually uses crossbeam channels instead of mutexes, so that’s nice. I haven’t looked too closely at it though.

I don’t think you can do too much about the Spectrum one if you want to keep the two threads, but here’s what I would change related to thread synchronization. Lemmy doesn’t seem to allow me to attach patch files for whatever reason so have an archive instead… https://dblsaiko.net/pub/tmp/patches.tar.bz2 (I wrote a few notes in the commit messages)

Just to give the reason for Rc<RefCell> in the current project. I’m reading in a M3U file and I’m going to be referencing it against an Excel file. So in the structure for the m3u file, I have two BtreeMaps, one for order by channel number and one by name. Each containing references to the same Channel object.

So basically it’s channels indexed by channel number and name? That one is actually one of the easy cases. Store indices instead:

struct Channels {
  data: Vec<Channel>,
  by_number: BTreeMap<u32 /* or whatever */, usize>,
  by_name: BTreeMap<String, usize>,
}

// untested but I think it should compile
fn get_channel_by_name(ch: &Channels, name: &str) -> Option<&Channel> {
  Some(&self.data[*ch.by_name.get(name)?])
}

Not for the built-in Eq derive macro. But you can write your own derive macros that do allow you to take options, yeah.

Do you have some public code you could link to that you’re having this issue with? There isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution for Rc/RefCell, I think.

Whoa nice, I need to keep this in mind.

Interesting. I can’t find anything about the FLAC licensing issues. Do you have a link?

(Also, correction — Wikipedia says macOS in general can play FLAC. I guess it’s just the Music app that can’t import them.)

Yep. Lack of format support is usually to blame on the one who doesn’t support the format. You can absolutely blame Apple for this too though, their apps can’t open e.g. Matroska video or FLAC.

And perplexingly, they don’t support uploading HEIC, their own image format of choice, on the web iCloud Photos. So there’s that too.

(At this point my music library is stored as ALAC because it’s well supported in both Linux and Apple’s OSes. Really wish it wouldn’t have to be that way though. Someone needs to tell them about ffmpeg.)

For example they used to have their own video container .mov

It’s always very very funny every time someone mentions MOV, because while it’s very similar to MP4, it’s actually an open format while MP4 isn’t (!). You actually have to pay for the MP4 standard document while Apple just gives you the MOV documentation.

Also at least taking a screen capture on macOS still gives you a MOV container, actually.

Yes, it even uses BitTorrent to distribute videos.

I think in this case I would translate “Lager” as “warehouse”
