Hello comrades and welcome to the third improvement megathread of August! 
This is a rare Monday edition since I was traveling yesterday.
Some discussion ideas:
- How was your week?
+ Do you have some plans for next week?

A brilliant new era
灿烂的新时期

I've been trying to get back into coding after more than a year on disability from my job due to burnout and some other mental health issues I've been trying to resolve. I switched my Linux window manager from MangoWC which still feels very alpha to Niri which is a lot more mature and polished. It feels like a good move and I've been updating my configs to make the move permanent.
I've also been exploring some live coding. I've always wished I could make music in one way or another and live coding to do so is taking advantage of a skill that I already have. I first tried to get TidalCycles working, but failed so I fell back to Strudel which runs in a browser. I don't love that you can't run it locally though so I took another swing at getting TidalCycles working yesterday and was successful this time!
