Chris Oakman ported the parinfer algorithm to Lua [1]. I used this to write a parinfer plugin for Neovim [2]. I use Fennel (a Lisp that compiles to Lua) for all of my Neovim config…

Note the AUR package was removed because it's since been packaged in the official Arch repos. There is a ghostty-git AUR repo for tracking the main branch: https://aur.archlinux.or…

It's a macOS-only feature, for now.

Apple Terminal has a lot of problems. As others have mentioned, it lacks support for 24 bit color, enforces minimum contrast ratios without any ability to disable them (meaning you…

This gets brought up a lot, so I wrote about it here https://gpanders.com/blog/ghostty-is-native-so-what/

It's a macOS-only feature, for now.

Terminals do have a concept of a cursor (there are dedicated control sequences for cursor management). There's no fundamental reason a terminal emulator couldn't implement an anima…

>Zig gives buffer overflow safety and null pointer safety but not use after free, double free It can provide the latter two through the use of the `GeneralPurposeAllocator`, which …

As a long time Vim user I’m extremely thankful for Bram’s creation and stewardship of an incredible piece of software. He gave the world an amazing gift. I’ve interacted with Bram …

In contrast, for me this seems like the "killer feature" that differentiates it from the current generation of headsets. I've always been completely uninterested in anything AR/VR …

I mean to be fair, in that video he was recording a video using the headset. In that context, I don't think it's _that_ different from a parent pressing their eye into a camcorder …

“Atlasean task” sounds like a Jira ticket.

You can invoke Zig without build.zig: zig build-obj file.zig And then include the object file along with your other sources. How you do this will of course depend on your build sys…

Indeed. The combination of direnv and exrc is very potent.

Probably true, but the Pi4 is not up to the task of transcoding 4k video.

>I've really tried to move from vim to neovim for a long time and spent many hours trying to configure it to behave like vim Could you elaborate on this? Out of the box, Neovim and…

>E.g. when you are in a vim terminal and you go to normal mode to yank some stuff to put it in the other pane with the code, nvim defaults adds line numbers to the terminal that ne…

>I believe it was a mistake to fracture the ecosystem with plugins that can only be used with neovim. I hate to break this to you, but Vim itself is in the process of converting it…

One feature I'm personally excited about is the "undeprecation" of the 'exrc' option, which allows project-specific configuration. Vim (and thus Neovim) has had the 'exrc' option f…

Neovim uses LuaJIT on most distributions (or when building from source), which is substantially faster than Vimscript. Although this only really matters in computation-heavy plugin…

You can use Neovim without a framework. In fact, for the most part Neovim will work as-is with a .vimrc written for Vim (there are some options that are specific to Vim or Neovim, …
