Qawalli is great and thank you for spreading more of this and keeping it alive.
Farid Ayaz & Abu Mohammad Qawalls is one of the greatest qawalls of all time in his dedication to music, they never sold out to commercial terms while making quality music.
Farid Ayaz also carries an aura around him and the music he creates. If anyone is interested in getting to more into qawalli they should check out this documentary called "Had Anhad"[0], I'm linking a section where Farid Ayaz is interviewed below(cause I'm such a fanboy ;)
To OP,
Great work, for keeping the verbal poetry alive. PEACE
This is super cool. I also find it hard to the right fit for me so I usually end up at a tailor or wear baggy clothes(which are in trend) however the comfort of having the clothes fit you right and you feeling really good about is missing and fast fashion sucks too lot of poorly designed clothes and cheap materials that becomes generic quite fast.
Kudos for living this lifestyle, those pants look really sick..

Neat. I like the fact that it is opinionated providing a decent setup
to get things done.
Here are some of the things i was confused about, or thought could be improved.
1. The label of checkbox don't seem to respond to clicks.
2. On Font Input, There's no description or selections on what inputs are acceptable.
3. There is no mention of Javascript in programming language support section.
iirc typescript package can handle js mode apart from the default builtin support for js. A mention of js would have be nice.
As you might have noticed, I am not a web developer, but I will try and look into resolvi g the issues you brought up. I have an idea of how to solve the font issue (https://git.sr.ht/~pkal/ecg/tree/master/item/ecg.lisp#L342), but on my systems this never gives me all the fonts.
The programming language section is also difficult, content-wise, because I don't use most of those languages, and am thus not familiar with their options. My hope is to gather feedback from other users or the package maintainers on what would be interesting.
As an alternative solution,
you can ask if the user would like to setup their font on start of
emacs and invoke `menu-set-font`. But i think this won't work for people
who want to run their emacs in console, another problem i see with this
solution is, it would prompt every time emacs starts, which would lead to more confusion.
if i read it correctly `document.fonts` reads like "get all the fonts used on this web page" rather than "get me all the fonts installed on this computer".

Interesting idea. It might be possible to generate a snippet that will remove itself after the first initialization, but if that doesn't work at least a comment could be inserted.

i once did gui development in racket/gui.
The dependency between widgets and variables
is a pain to deal without something like that.
P.S: don't take this to mean i hate on racket, i'm just complaining about the default state of racket/gui, there have been attempts to improve it by 3rd party libraries(https://docs.racket-lang.org/gui-easy/index.html).
i can't seem to find the book by that title by that author.
I did find a book by that title but its 800 something pages long and don't think its the title you referred to.
do you mind providing a link?
I've red a short story that matches the description and the name. Took a while to remember but it was in A Science Fiction Omnibus [0], apparently it's by Bruce Sterling so could be a different story.
> Strangly, Neal Stephenson's " Cryptonomicon" ... The idea that something so profoundly good can exist for people like us, convinced me to read only very high quality literature of all kinds and sci-fi of only the highest kind. Also made me give up watching TV/web series to a large degree. I don’t compromise with the quality of entertainment that I consume anymore. I consume only the best and most desired things.
I have a hard time with this. Earlier i used stuff like imdb and goodreads to determine and then i realized i don't like more than half of what i consume. Later i started asking what my friends liked, and consumed as per their recommendations, had a similar experience but this time around whenever i didn't like something, i complained to my friend and we had long discussions about it sometimes spanning multiple days. i found this approach better even if it sometimes meant consuming the trend of the week.
After doing that for an year or two i started doing to consume/save-for-later anything that remotely looked interesting. These days I'm still following that approach. i still come across a lot of cheap makes but i think these
help me to judge what's good and what's not.
I mostly bring up this argument as i strongly believe "best" is subjective And going by all time classics or other people's recommendations you may miss out a chance to discover for yourself what is truly best for you.
This was a straw man argument.
Ignore it if it doesn't apply to you.
But i'm curious on how you determine what makes "highest kind" and "best" before consuming it.
To OP, Great work, for keeping the verbal poetry alive. PEACE
