Perhaps there is a balance to be struck? I have thought long and hard about this, and I have settled on taking notes by typing on my laptop. The benefits are far too many: I do not…

I share your wish. Emacs, as wonderful as it is, has accumulated a lot of cruft over the decades and would benefit immensely from a rewrite. A "Neo-Emacs" could be multithreaded fr…

I've been seeing this pattern of text crop up in many places. On LinkedIn, much of my feed is filled with posts of short sentences that follow this exact pattern. What's more, even…

One thing LLMs are surprisingly bad at is producing correct LaTeX diagram code. Very often I've tried to describe in detail an electric circuit, a graph (the data structure), or an…

Kinda similar—Raku is on my radar. I won't have time to take a look at it this year. Maybe it can become my next year's resolution. :)

I’m in the same boat. I’ve internalized Vim keybindings so much that there’s no friction between thinking and doing on the screen. If I want to place the cursor on the next line, m…

That's impressive! Would you mind sharing how you used Anki for your studies?

I’m sorry, but any non-trivial Zig code gives me PTSD flashbacks of C. I don’t understand who Zig is targeting: with pervasive mutability, manual allocation, and a lack of proper s…

There is something remarkably beautiful about minimal websites that use primarily text, perhaps with one or two images, and only styles that enhance readability. This is unbeatable…

I've been using Kokoro TTS with the CLI app, audiblez, mentioned in the "Similar Projects" section of the README. The model is fast and delivers impressive quality for its small si…

What can I do to minimize the effects of air pollution if I have to live in a city with high pollution levels? It seems completely out of my control.

I don’t own a car; I rely on public transportation.

Congratulations on the release! I don’t have much to add, but I wanted to express how much I love hearing about people with no formal software background who identify problems in t…

> Emacs is a powerful tool, but it also demands a lot from its user. Eventually I got tired of dealing with the host of plugins and customizations that I needed to keep my system r…

Congratulations to the Zod team on the new release. At the risk of sounding overtly negative, I can't help but shudder when I think about the number of breaking changes outlined in…

I have never used Roam before, but I've been happily using an Emacs package called org-roam [0] for the past couple of years. When paired with org-roam-ui [1], it provides everythi…

It took me a few tries to get comfortable with Rust—its ownership model, lifetimes, and pervasive use of enums and pattern matching were daunting at first. In my initial attempt, I…
