This sounds very close to my dream IDE, I've always wanted to build a smalltalk + emacs like editor/ide in Clojure but never got around to it. I wanted to try Easel but there were …

At work we've started switching to codeberg (which uses forgejo) and honestly it's a breath of fresh air compared to GitHub. It's blazing fast compared to GitHub and has feature pa…

I have clicked about ~20,000 photographs on a Sony camera in the last year and a half. And I have published exactly 0 of those photos on social media. Whenever I meet my friends an…

I left my Hetzner VPS open to password logins for over 3 years, no security updates, no firewalls, no kernel updates, no apt upgrades; only fail2ban and I survived: https://oxal.or…

I recently added the python-feedgen module for creating feeds in my blog generator: https://github.com/oxalorg/genox/commit/3a73013ffe82930b1a7e... I always love removing dependenc…

Seeing lots of emacs praise on HN since the last 2 days. In this blog post I walk through the process of how I go about extending emacs (specifically a 3rd party plugin) and tailor…

Creating signal backups for iPhone users is _really_ hard. The only way to do it is to get a backup from the Signal Desktop app, which is also non-trivial because in recent version…

Sorry but this is anything but simple to me. I consider my own static site generator [1] much simpler than this. Around 250 SLOC with 4 dependencies (markdown2, pyyaml, jinja2, Pyg…

Exactly this. My entire website is handcrafted, and not once but over the last decade almost ~10 times. It's fun and I almost end up revamping something every year. Everything hand…

Curious to learn more about your switch from Emacs to VSCode? I'm a super confused soul, and currently I use all of them: - Emacs (for clojure / lisps / big projects). - NeoVim (fo…

<3 Following you on twitter since years now! Been learning a lot from your tweets, thanks for sharing all the valuable insights!

Thanks, super glad you found a use case for it! :)

Thanks for mentioning Sakura.css! <3

Quick fix if you are seeing this: ssh-keygen -R github.com curl -L https://api.github.com/meta | jq -r '.ssh_keys | .[]' | sed -e 's/^/github.com /' >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts -or- if y…

1. re: the first part, many people want something plug and play. and even if they were plug and play, the problem is that the user experience (on windows at least) with online driv…

This is quite nice! Shameless plug for my version of this (sakura.css [1]) which is - much smaller (3.9kb / 1.9kb gzipped) - looks more in-line with the default browser styles (dem…

I agree. That is why I actually just decided to use different css files for different themes in sakura.css (it comes in at 3.8k / ~1.8k gzipped ) This also means that they can easi…

Shameless plug, but do check out [sakura.css]( https://github.com/oxalorg/sakura ). I've tried to keep it really simple so that folks without css knowledge are also able to hack on…

These were some refreshing ideas to solve UX problems in the clojure REPL driven development flow (especially the REPL panel which I always keep hidden). I've been frustrated a bit…

In windows I usually use enter to enter a folder and backspace to back out. It’s not exactly up/down semantic as backspace will go back to the place you entered from (eg. search) r…

Thank you I needed to read this, very well put and wonderful advice! Regarding your first point: I am still not sure if I'm cut out for startups / the hustle. But I've made some of…

Thank you for using sakura.css, really appreciate it and glad you enjoyed using it! ^_^ On the other hand, I really enjoy working with tailwind. Having html and css "together" work…

Haha thanks, you're being too humble ^_^ BTW loving the xz logo and the website. Overall super cool!
