tla2tools (TLA+ tools) for Guix has been merged! You can now enjoy model checking, typesetting, and more on your Guix system. If you're into that kinda thing.

Enjoy!

@liw There is no single measure, and I'd distinguish between "success" (end) and "successful" (ongoing). The goal posts are always moving.

What good are freedoms that most cannot enjoy? Many of us, including myself, are able to perform their day-to-day computing using entirely free software, but it's a position of privilege on many levels: technical, financial, societal, and much more. It's almost like freedom for the fringe. And it's a terrible feedback loop, as we cannot relate to others.

@mlemweb What wonderful news! Congrats!

@groovestomp In the *scratch* buffer, C-j does that. C-h k C-j shows that it's bound to `eval-print-last-sexp', which works in any buffer.

Maybe that'll work for you?

TLA+ Tools patch series submitted after ~17 hours of work:

I'll consider tackling TLAPS (the proof system) in the near future, if I have the energy and it's not too involved.

I'm pretty excited that I have a working #TLA+ Tools package for #guix working now (tla2tools.jar). But I have a lot of cleanup (for it and new dependencies) to do before offering a patch, and some more wrapper scripts to write. Also need to figure out why some pcal tests are failing.

This allows for model checking, simulation, and LaTeX output generation, among some other things as well.

Working on a TLC2 (TLA+ model checker) package for Guix, until I found that one of its dependencies is lsp4j (not yet packaged), which is built with Gradle, which is not currently packaged in Guix.

This escalated quickly. I should probably try to build without Gradle. My Java skills are weak, so I guess we'll see how this goes...

Just got my COVID-19 vaccine. This is not just important for myself and my family, but also to reduce the risk of spread to others.

@jxself :( I'm sorry for your loss.

@redstarfish This is not okay. Calling for the arrest of someone whose speech you do not agree with, even if you consider it libelous, is wrong. What example does this set?

@michel_slm @fsf I can relate with the diaper changing :)

My kids had a lot of fun playing on the #LibrePlanet2021 Minetest instance, and plan to hop back on tomorrow. Everyone was really kind, and it's been a great way for them to be involved in the conference.

I also like that they got to interact with others that have a passion for software freedom, since it shows that it's not just Dad that thinks about free software.

We have over 1000 registered #LibrePlanet2021 attendees this year from all around the world! As an activist, it's inspiring to see!

Still changing my talk in fairly substantial ways ~17h before I give it? Sounds about right.

I hope you'll join us at #LibrePlanet2021 tomorrow, regardless of whether you're interested in hearing me speak!
