> Added 20442 new packages > Updated 20641 existing packages > Removed 17532 outdated packages I’m surprised there’s such a big turnover for packages. Looks like the total number o…

Perhaps of interest: I came across this retrospective of the author of that site and how he moved it to static hosting a couple of years ago [1]. I would also say that this library…

If you are just creating a simple document with default styling, the main advantage you get from Typst is near-instant compilation speed. Pandoc to HTML is similar though, but if y…

It’s also what Thunderbird is using to build their paid email hosting. Seems like a very ambitious project mostly done by a single person – impressive!

The issue I have with this is that it deletes the whole message, not just the media. In WhatsApp, you can delete media from the images/video folders and the messages remain in the …

From what I can gather, they are not yet incorporated and they are working through organizational questions in [1] and the issues thereof. The `ACCOUNTS.md` file there gives an ide…

Technically the big O notation denotes an upper bound, i.e. it doesn’t mean “grows as fast as” but “grows at most as fast as”. This means that any algorithm that’s O(n²) is also O(…

That’s exciting! Is there a summary of what’s new in 1.0 somewhere? Usually the version announcements contain an overview of the most important changes, but this one is more of a r…

Does “no lost data” mean that all drives were wiped or simply that there were backups?

You could still move e.g. /nix to the BTRFS disks and only keep /boot on the thumb drive, no? That’s more or less how I have NixOS set up with ZFS. But your solution is of course m…

Phoronix has looked into some the financial information available from their filings: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Purism-75M I’d love for Purism to succeed and they appear to be …

I’m not sure about these stable packages, but for the nightly packages they introduced recently they explicitly mention on [1] that you can keep browsing: > Following community dis…

From what I can tell, the “Ubuntu Mozilla Team” does not consist of people from Mozilla but rather just people packaging Mozilla software for Ubuntu. The latest packages in that PP…

I’m continuously impressed by the care and effort that goes into the developer experience of Elixir. Those improvements of the (already pretty great) documentation and the error me…

Related: The podcast “On the Media” had a story recently about how infrasound may have affected pidgeon races – highly recommended! https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/segment…

Since this font is published under AGPL – is Times New Roman available under an open license? Or is this based on an open alternative?

The way I see it, the problem is the C in CSS. If you rely on `.author-bio > h2`, then every time you make a change to `.author-bio`, you have to consider all the contexts in which…

I would say there is one more problem it can solve, though less related to sustainability: Building up a modular system may make it easier to more offer customers a device close to…

One distinction that I had missed for a long time is that the en-dash is used instead of the hyphen to connect words in the “and” sense, such as “read–eval–print loop” or “Myers–Br…

I wish it was possible to add FIDO keys to an account without having physical access to the key. Without this, it is hard to balance the convenience of adding your keys to new acco…

I’ve always liked the idea of Netlify CMS, to have some (statically deployed) JS that talks directly to GitHub/GitLab and provides a clean interface to edit the content that’s stor…
