IIUC, yes, all the kernels involved run directly on the hardware, in a "cooperative" way, i.e. they must agree on not touching others' memory regions. I think the architecture assu…

Yeah that part of the article put a big smile on my face. I did the same thing back in college, when I was in a lab. We wanted to do some research on Wi-Fi signals, and I happened …

Built on top of Owl Lisp[1]. TIL about this dialect, and it looks interesting! Instead of native threads, it has continuation-based threads[2], and it seems the whole VM architectu…

> An offset would be nice, though I'm sure it's not easy to define a heuristic that works in all places. I agree. I considered dynamic offsets, in an effort to declutter the labels…

It seems your right alt key is actually the AltGr key. I didn't explicitly support AltGr in Jwno, so it freaked out. Sorry for the confusion. I think switching to another leader ke…

Thanks! I created a tracking issue here: https://github.com/agent-kilo/jwno/issues/12 Meanwhile you can try to change leading `RAlt` to something else, like `Win + H`, and see if i…

> Having tiling options that fit within a smaller part of the screen (e.g. still allow side by side or top/bottom split, but in a smaller total region) would be great. Do you mean …

A fellow StumpWM user! My StumpWM is heavily customized though, and I mostly modeled Jwno's behavior after my own config, so it may not be what you expected at all. But that's one …

Sorry for the confusion. Multi-monitor support is only briefly mentioned in the docs[1] and the interactive tutorial[2]. Jwno's internal data structure has these levels (higher-lev…

TBH I dived right in when I decided I should build something with Janet, and didn't really consider any alternatives. Now you mentioned it, I think Janet's simplicity and concisene…

Thanks for posting the link! It's a quick-and-dirty PoC with lots of caveats and limitations though. E.g. it works only for a single monitor. I don't think we can clip windows to a…

I think these are the most obvious differences between the two: * By default, Komorebi uses dynamic tiling, while Jwno uses manual tiling. * Komorebi has workspaces, Jwno works wit…

I think Janet is quite...liberal? It's a practical language, but doesn't force a specific paradigm on you. There're "escape hatches" in different levels of the language, and I like…

I find the REPL and interactive development workflow invaluable. A window manager is a long-running background service by nature, and has a lot of accumulated runtime states. The a…

> I think it's inspired by Clojure and Lua, and somehow manages to be better than both This is exactly how I feel about Janet too. I don't think I have enough experience on Clojure…

Thanks for the kind words! It means a lot coming from you :)

Definitely! I got great inspirations from both of the Komorebi and GlazeWM communities. People who like tidy desktops are definitely nice people :)

Thanks :)

Hi HN! I read[1] about Janet[2] some time ago, then immediately got impressed by the enthusiasm of its community, and by the language itself, so I started playing with it. At the t…

Interesting. I didn't know about Nimony. I'm still not sure what a compiler plugin is though, after reading the scarce discussion in the forum thread. Erlang's parse transform come…

The article states that "pager daemons" that manage swap files runs in user space, and the kernel memory can also get swapped out, but never explained how a user space daemon swaps…

Reminds me of Phrack [0]. I learnt all the stuff I know about the ELF format and some low-level debugger shenanigans there, and implemented my own PLT hook back then, good times. […

Haha I had the exact same thought when I saw the title. That said, the new car looks very much like an "electrified" Golf, which is one of the first cars I drove, and I have fond m…
