"Part 2 is tricky. The first output value 'cdfgba' could be either a 0, 6, or 9. To figure out which one it is I could do some fancy constraint satisfaction. That sounds hard. Or I could exhaustively try all permutations of the 7 letters. That sounds easy! Here's my plan.."
Most apps use width poorly, with lots of empty space towards the right.
Long lines of text are also less readable.
So more apps should be using some sort of column layout when the window is wide.
However, narrow columns magnify a different problem: urls can't be clicked on if they span multiple lines.
One possible solution: an escape sequence to hyperlink to urls in shorter text. https://gist.github.com/egmontkob/eb114294efbcd5adb1944c9f3cb5feda lists terminals supporting it. Does your terminal?

Small change in text: https://github.com/akkartik/teliva/commit/b36927e35cd26
But a big step in a huge trajectory of maturing thinking.
2010: Dependencies are moving parts, introduce unreliability.
2015: Well, we have to depend on something. Ok, hardware only.
2021: Firmware, management engines, shit, I'll come again. Depend on a narrow waist. Posix, C, Lua.
2022: There's even more I can't do alone. Sqlite, Redis, etc. Reputation is a useful signal.

Open invitation: I'd be happy to tailor a private copy for your individual needs.

My talk at FOSDEM this morning: https://archive.org/details/akkartik-2022-01-16-fosdem
Apologies for the low volume of the recording :/ This copy seems slightly louder to me than the version on the official page. However the official page includes (high-quality and audible) Q&A at the end.

"Third, FOSS has become a religion for many. All things must be FOSS because it’s a holy conquest, and if just everything were FOSS all would be perfection because reasons."
If FOSS were actually a religion, the holy conquest you describe would be the most adorable and least bloody holy conquest in the history civilization.
If FOSS were actually a religion, then what is stopping you from joining the least bloody and most adorable religion in the history of civilization?
Come.
Join us.

https://github.com/drcode/zek is a neat program <3 and its demo at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4W_m176PIdU is inspiring me.. to build my own version 🤦
I think people have lost sight of the essence of Zettelkasten.
The tension: links tend to require names.
Any interest in collaborating on or use-testing something malleable but text-only in Teliva?
I just tracked down my umpteenth memory corruption bug in Teliva: https://github.com/antirez/kilo/pull/81
I'm pretty sure this was the one that got me to lose data on several days of Advent of Code 2021.
The number of such bugs found in this tiny codebase (https://github.com/antirez/kilo/search?q=memory is not comprehensive) is a huge case against C. I'm not out of practice, I'm just only able to manage memory reliably in C++, for all that I dislike it.
