    By "it" do you mean landlock or fil-c? Also elaboration would be nice.

    I read somewhere that Hacker News should have been named Startup News, and sometimes interactions like the one upthread reminds me of that. I'm not saying it's wrong - if you're go…

    That's gross misrepresentation. He wrote _lots_ of helpful educational articles on zig that painted it in a good light. I would know because I learned a great deal from his posts w…

    A static site generator: https://hi.imnhan.com/s4g/ Not the most original of ideas, but I was really sold on djot [1] and wanted something less fussy than pelican [2], so it just h…

    Husky (android app) does support multi-account. I'm using it right now. I imagine there should be something equivalent for ios. It's not rocket science.

    Go's io/fs[0] design is one of the more successful ideas inspired by Plan 9 imho. If we can't have a 9p-centric OS, the next best thing is a 9p-like interface in a language's stand…
