Guix reduces bootstrap seed by 50% https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2019/guix-reduces-bootstrap-seed-by-50/

Go Guix and Mes! Go bootstrappability!

SocialCG meeting in 1.5 hours! https://www.w3.org/wiki/SocialCG/2019-10-09

@mala @masterofthetiger That sounds like it would be helpful!

@masterofthetiger Probably Racket, the Spritely tooling I'm building, occasionally Guile and Guix, GNU/Linux stuff, Emacs, etc.

And yes I was planning on using https://obsproject.com/ which is what @mala just said. It's packaged in Guix!

@mala That's totally valid!

I think if I did it, it would be more like: "Here's something I think you should use, and which I mostly already want to show off how you can use! Or here's how you can see my workflow live!"

In which case I probably would have things at a point where I was fairly confident *what* I was going to do and *how* I was going to do it before I jumped into it.

Should I be doing live coding streams?

It would probably be boring, unless I set up most of the scaffolding for a gamedev session, in which case it might be fun for people to see.

Or, if I do demonstrations of libraries / tech once they're ready for demonstration.

People have requested it in the past. Seeing @mala post about doing so made me think about it again https://mastodon.social/@mala/102906717933674682

@benhamill It's definitely some very visible maintainers.

Also we're approx $100/mo away from the terminal based space shooter now. Nice! https://www.patreon.com/cwebber

That program will actually be a demo of how interesting Spritely Goblins can be to use in even just pre-distributed programs. I know how to build it... would be fun to show it off if we can make it.

And of course, this is all working towards the distributed social game stuff I'm planning to build. The infrastructure is coming together.

If all goes well, a new release of #Spritely Goblins will be out this week, this one with (same-process) inter-vat communication and a revamp of promises.

If all continues to go well, in the next month I should have a demo of distributed programming across machines in the same system.

@trashheap Thanks... I mostly was a signatory on this one, though I agree with it; others did the work of coordinating (which I know isn't easy). I'm glad the statement is out.
