Coding chroot almost set up the way I like it. I'll tarball it and pop onto a usb drive once I have it set up the way I want.
Zsh, tmux, vim, emacs, dotfiles and solarized already mostly transferred over
Ghc, didn't bother with newest version of ruby, racket, guile, leiningan, still gotta add oCaml.
@Pookleblinky I'm not currently in a coding strong interest, so I'm just setting things up so that when I do return I won't be sucked into a massive yakshave
@Pookleblinky I am absolutely a yakshaver. I yakshave to such an inhuman degree that I am incapable of producing literally anything unless I ruthlessly clamp down on myself.
@Pookleblinky I can get anything to work, fix any problem I encounter, and I will be utterly unable to describe how I did so.
@Pookleblinky the result: an overwhelmingly powerful interest in, say, refactoring, but zero interest at all in producing code to be refactored. Or, in another cycle, intense interest in hidden markov models but zero interest in applications
@Pookleblinky it all averages out to being mostly completely unproductive unless the stars are aligned right. However, in whatever part of a domain I'm currently obsessed in, I am basically your god. You will bow before my uselessly vast knowledge of a single leaf.
@Pookleblinky this right here is basically the secret of my "success".
@Pookleblinky it's a blessing and a curse. As I said before on the birdsite, strong interests don't care about mapping the domain of a profitable job. Vast, important moving parts of a domain may be entirely neglected as uninteresting, no matter how fundamental they are to getting something actually done.
