Happy to see PEP 582 gaining traction, the last attempt I saw in this space was https://github.com/cs01/pythonloc .

> The only thing that matters is wall clock time so if cache layout is making a 300% difference to wall clock, focusing on instructions counts will mislead you on the most impactfu…

It isn't surprising to me that instruction counts as a performance metric would have less variance than wall time. Did you know that the environment size can actually affect wall t…

I suspect it might be something mentioned in https://github.com/masukomi/arc90-readability . I believe it's what powers "readability" view in modern browsers (firefox https://githu…

Have a look at https://github.com/zyedidia/micro , which has those keybindings by default. Mouse support too. Completely eliminated the text editing learning curve for me, and year…

Yeah, I was happy to see the switch away from C random/srandom or rand/srand. Not my area either, but a little surprised why a PCG-family non-CSPRNG algorithm wasn’t used: https://…

Love how my old Galaxy S6 is stuck on ancient Android 7. And it's the verizon version too, so I can't unlock the bootloader. Perfectly capable device, what a shame. Switched to iPh…

On my work laptop (macOS Catalina), I get a bunch of `in-addr.arpa` - seems to be reverse lookups. Is that the case for you, too?

go mod init github.com/your/project Then, go get -v will download your dependencies to GOPATH, and (re)generate go.mod, go.sum. For info on how to update dependencies, read `go hel…

I switched from pointing various things to cloudflare to simply using NextDNS a while ago, and it's just excellent. The onboarding flow was way faster and easier than I thought it …

> Even worse, iOS forces you to use a fake VPN to change DNS servers at all on cellular! This is a major pain point for me - I'm trying to use both NextDNS and Tailscale on my iPho…

Agree with all these points (also an iPhone SE 2016 user). One more point to consider is whether or not the iPhone SE 2016 will continue to get OS updates.

Yes. I've long been impressed with the single core performance and power efficiency of apple's mobile SoCs. Same-generation SoCs used on a variety of androids can't even compare. G…

This looks pretty clean! The enhanced readability reminds me of Wikiwand. If you're looking for a bit of feedback, the search doesn't seem to handle fast typing well. I tried searc…

Shameless plug: I rewrote the "dotfile-relevant" featureset of GNU stow in plain python as a PoC of a simpler batch symlinker: https://github.com/joshuarli/sym-prototype It's worke…

> the general public actually doesn’t care about privacy at all It's not that people don't care; privacy is probably undervalued in the context of making privacy vs. convenience/ut…

At least on linux, go's native resolver follows a sane subset of glibc conventions like parsing /etc/nsswitch.conf, /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/hosts [1]. As long as your dns configurat…

Hi Dima - I'm assuming you're aware of dnscrypt-proxy and wrote nss-tls because you wanted a lighter weight implementation of a subset of dnscrypt-proxy's features on a specific pl…

Very cool - thanks for sharing, and the shoutout (consider also replacing 38rem/2rem with 70ch/2ch)!

https://github.com/joshuarli/dotfiles/blob/master/misc/firef... Also have a bunch of umatrix rules, but not inclined on sharing those. Regarding gmail, keep a pinned tab open on ab…

I have never had any performance or memory related issues with firefox, on a modest xps 13 9343 with 4gb ram. In fact, with regular usage, firefox rarely exceeds 2gb usage, and cpu…
