  1. dreamrealmill
  2. dreamrealamper
  3. dreamrealbld
  4. dreamrealmaven
  5. dreamrealgradle
  6. dreamrealoh, crap and croodle.
  7. dreamrealmaven is a build tool for many languages, but focusing particularly on JVM languages; it prefers convention over configuration and is horribly stable and the build files tend to be horribly verbose. If you need it to work, this is your tool.
  8. nevetok, dreamreal: updated maven.
  9. dreamrealmaven.url=https://maven.apache.org
  10. nevetok, dreamreal: updated maven.
  11. dreamrealmaven.tag=build tool,xml,jvm
  12. nevetok, dreamreal: updated maven.
  13. dreamrealgradle is a build tool for many languages; it uses a Groovy or Kotlin DSL, and provides a configurable as well as a conventional build model. It's very terse but can be absolutely maddening if you color outside the lines at all.
  14. nevetok, dreamreal: updated gradle.
  15. dreamrealgradle.url=https://gradle.org
  16. nevetok, dreamreal: updated gradle.
  17. dreamrealgradle.tag=build tool,groovy,kotlin,jvm
  18. nevetok, dreamreal: updated gradle.
  19. dreamrealant is one of the oldest Java build tools, generally supplanting make for Java; XML-based and fully imperative, it does exactly what you tell it and nothing more, which means dependency management is your problem (see: Ivy). New projects should use something else.
  20. nevetok, dreamreal: updated ant.
  21. dreamrealant.url=https://ant.apache.org
  22. nevetok, dreamreal: updated ant.
  23. dreamrealant.tag=build tool,xml,jvm,legacy,ivy
  24. nevetok, dreamreal: updated ant.
  25. dreamrealmill is a Scala-based build tool with a cleaner composability model than Gradle and genuine modularity baked in from the start. Requires comfort with Scala concepts, but rewards that investment with a build system that mostly behaves like it should. But then: Scala.
  26. nevetok, dreamreal: updated mill.
  27. dreamrealmill.url=https://mill-build.org
  28. nevetok, dreamreal: updated mill.
  29. dreamrealmill.tag=build tool,scala,jvm,kotlin
  30. nevetok, dreamreal: updated mill.
  31. dreamrealbld is a build tool where build logic is written in pure Java — no Groovy, no Kotlin, no Scala, no XML. If you already know Java, you already know how to write your build. Part of the RIFE2 ecosystem.
  32. nevetok, dreamreal: updated bld.
  33. dreamrealbld.url=https://rife2.com/bld
  34. nevetok, dreamreal: updated bld.
  35. dreamrealbld.tag=build tool,java,jvm
  36. nevetok, dreamreal: updated bld.
  37. dreamrealamper is JetBrains' experimental YAML-configured build tool, currently in preview and aimed primarily at Kotlin and Kotlin Multiplatform projects. Opinionated in ways that will either feel liberating or confining depending on whether your project fits the mold. Not yet ready for general production use.
  38. nevetok, dreamreal: updated amper.
  39. dreamrealamper.url=https://www.jetbrains.com/amper/
  40. nevetok, dreamreal: updated amper.
  41. dreamrealamper.tag=build tool,yaml,kotlin,experimental
  42. nevetok, dreamreal: updated amper.
  43. dreamrealsavant is a Groovy DSL build tool with a plugin-as-dependency model and explicit per-machine JDK configuration. New enough that its differentiating value over Gradle, Mill, Amper, and Bld is not yet clear. Documentation was incomplete at launch. Worth watching; too early to recommend.
  44. nevetok, dreamreal: updated savant.
  45. dreamrealsavant.url=https://savantbuild.org
  46. nevetok, dreamreal: updated savant.
  47. dreamrealsavant.tag=build tool,groovy,jvm,new
  48. nevetok, dreamreal: updated savant.
  49. dreamrealivy is Apache Ant's dependency manager, bolted on to give Ant what it was missing. If you're reaching for Ivy you're probably already committed to an Ant build that you can't escape. Consider this a sign.
  50. nevetok, dreamreal: updated ivy.
  51. dreamrealivy.url=https://ant.apache.org/ivy/
  52. nevetok, dreamreal: updated ivy.
  53. dreamrealivy.tag=dependency management,jvm,ant,legacy
  54. nevetok, dreamreal: updated ivy.
  55. dreamrealrife2 is a full-stack Java web framework descended from the original RIFE framework, built around minimizing boilerplate and keeping everything in plain Java. Also the home of bld. Opinionated, coherent, and focused on a continuations model.
  56. nevetok, dreamreal: updated rife2.
  57. dreamrealrife2.url=https://rife2.com
  58. nevetok, dreamreal: updated rife2.

  67. dreamrealtoday hebrew
  68. nevetToday is Monday, 5 Nissan, 5786 (Hebrew)
  69. ChronosToday is a Japanese car manufacturer
  70. ChronosWhere did blue go?
  71. dreamrealgot frustrated that I didn't fix factoid syntax the way he wanted
  72. dreamreal"foo is bar" -- YOU CAN'T DO THAT! IS IS EVERYWHERE!
  73. dreamrealdecided that was a breaking point for him, that the responses weren't conciliatory as he wanted
  74. dreamrealinfobots haven't existed for 40 years and a' that
  75. dreamrealblue is good people but has a relatively low open and agreeable personality from what I've seen
  76. dreamrealHe has good ideas and purposes, but he's easily frustrated when he doesn't get his way
  77. dreamrealso for factoids, he wants a prefix: !factoid foo etc., which is NOT a bad idea, honestly
  78. dreamrealbut the problem is that infobots HAVE existed since IRC was a thing
  79. ChronosOh, hmmm, that's too bad, he was interesting.
  80. dreamrealhe is, I'm trying to convince him the world doesn't have to dance to his tune
  81. dreamrealSo what do YOU think? How do YOU see working with the bot?
  82. ChronosI haven't really been paying too much attention; life keeping me too busy and distracted
  83. dreamrealcertainly understandable
  84. ChronosFrom what I see above, though, looks quite good
  85. dreamrealwell, there're two different possibilities: he wants operations to be scoped for clarity, but that's not how infobots typically work, since they're supposed to be human-ish
  86. dreamreallike, if you have to EXPLICITLY invoke karma, that's a lot; the "ideal infobot" doesn't use a trigger at all, it just infers proper usage, but that gets noisy FAST if it's populated well
  87. dreamrealso a light trigger with human-centric operation is the ideal, depending

  144. dreamrealpoem greeting
  145. neveta poem: Morning light spills through the door,/A smile, a wave, nothing more—/Yet in that simple, sweet hello,/Two souls meet and gently glow.
  146. dreamreala poem: Morning light spills through the door,/A smile, a wave, nothing more—/Yet in that simple, sweet hello,/Two souls meet and gently glow.
  147. nevetAnalysis: This poem follows an AABB rhyme scheme with iambic tetrameter (four iambic feet per line). It's a quatrain, a four-line stanza, exploring the intimate connection found in a brief greeting. The regular meter and rhyme create a gentle, harmonious tone matching the tender subject matter.
  148. dreamrealtamboui
  149. nevettamboui is a Java TUI framework inspired by Rust's ratatui; offers immediate-mode rendering, a managed event loop, and a declarative DSL. GraalVM native compatible. Snapshot only; APIs unstable. URL: https://tamboui.dev/ Tag: consoleio See also: lanterna, jexer, textio, and zircon

  163. jbosmansbotwise could be useful
  164. dreamrealwhat do you mean?
  165. jbosmansencouraging adoption
  166. jbosmanssorta like "cmd --help" etc
  167. dreamrealoh, yeah
  168. jbosmansmaybe response as PM ?
  169. jbosmansif feasible ^
  170. dreamrealwell, I have a parser in place, so adding such things is more doable than it was: PM is rough because IRC is easy to overwhelm
  171. jbosmansspring shell ?
  172. jbosmansalthough that's kinda .. not there yet i guess
  173. dreamrealthe bot is not really a shell application
  174. dreamrealit has a console but it's pretty simple, you wouldn't use it for more than bootstrapping
  175. jbosmanswell it kinda could be
  176. dreamrealyou wouldn't RUN THE SYSTEM to add a factoid, you'd run the system to set up ingress where you could set factoids
  177. jbosmansinput -> output
  178. dreamrealsure
  179. dreamrealbut it's a big system: you wouldn't ... well, what I just said
  180. dreamrealyou *could* but why
  181. jbosmansyeah no i understand
  182. dreamrealif it stopped once you added a factoid, why did you add a factoid: you'd want to provide access
  183. jbosmansthat'd depend on the command implementation i guess
  184. jbosmansi was just wondering how to get an overview of what i can do with nevet
  185. jbosmansirc-wise it's usually !help or a PM !help or ..
  186. dreamrealyeah, I know, it's a problem
  187. jbosmanslike ChanServ let's say
  188. jbosmansnah it's not a problem
  189. dreamrealI don't have a good solution yet. Chanserv has access a bot like nevet does not.
  190. jbosmansRome wasn't built in a day :)
  191. dreamrealChanserv *cannot flood itself* off of irc.
  192. dreamrealnevet can, and trivially so.
  193. jbosmans"a simple Stream.limit()"
  194. jbosmansfamous last words ^ :)
  195. dreamrealyeah.
  196. dreamrealIt's not been unthought of.
  197. jbosmansi don't doubt it
  198. jbosmansis there a webpage or alike?
  199. jbosmanspoem hamburger

  201. a poem: Sizzle and smoke, the patty sings,/Between soft buns, joy it brings./Lettuce crisp and pickles tart,/This simple stack—a work of art.
  202. nevetAnalysis: This poem is written in iambic tetrameter with an AABB rhyme scheme (couplets). It's a quatrain, a four-line stanza form. The regular meter and simple rhyme structure create a light, playful tone befitting its subject matter—a hamburger.

  245. jbosmans2 factoids about spring! https://bytecode.news/factoids?q=spring
  246. dreamrealyes, spring and spring boot are not the same thing
  247. jbosmansi'd consider showing them (maybe partially) in the search results (eventually)
  248. jbosmansoh, i thought they were
  249. dreamrealWhat do you mean?
  250. jbosmansi was just kidding :) well, depending on what you responded to
  251. jbosmansah
  252. jbosmanson the side
  253. jbosmansah
  254. jbosmans*site
  255. dreamrealWell, considering they're different selectors that actually represent different factoids, they shoudl be two entries
  256. jbosmansi'd suggest showing the result content up to certain degree in the search results
  257. dreamrealIdo have redirection
  258. dreamrealyou mean, include the factoid content as part of the display of the factoid?
  259. jbosmansno, of the search results like for https://bytecode.news/factoids?q=spring
  260. jbosmansonly the first 10 or 50 or 100 or ..
  261. jbosmansgiven it's static content
  262. dreamrealRight, that's what I'm talking about: like, if it has a url property, make the link active, and if it has a text property, maybe include some of it
  263. dreamrealit's not static, but yeah
  264. jbosmansit's not ?
  265. dreamrealALL of bytecode.news is generated

  268. jbosmanson every request ? :s
  269. jbosmansi mean
  270. dreamrealit's controlled by api.bytecode.news/features
  271. jbosmanslike, not by an llm i hope ?
  272. dreamrealit's not by an LLM, no
  273. dreamrealit's a REST backend
  274. jbosmansyeah so that's standard
  275. dreamrealthe front end queries the backend for what to render and how
  276. jbosmans(i'd say)
  277. dreamrealwell, there's also an SSR - reference.bytecode.news is an SSR representation
  278. jbosmansyou could put a caching thing in front of that
  279. dreamrealThat's sort of what happens
  280. dreamrealyou see how fast it renders
  281. dreamrealit actually tracks updates so the actual webapp has "live data" and it caches what is relatively constant
  282. jbosmansyeah it does
  283. jbosmansand i noticed because i (think i try to) make the same effort for same reasons in my projects
  284. jbosmansnicely done ^
