this is really interesting but as much as i want to agree with the author’s stance: > [..] no matter how hard these companies try to sell us on AGI or “research” models, you can ju…

That's right. The whole thing is open source -- just, since it's hard to make any money from open source, they made the online editor (which is pretty good BTW)

Yup. I use both LaTeX and Typst (although I prefer Typst when possible) and I haven't used anything other than tectonic for the past few years. It simply has everything you need in…

I love how I just downloaded this, and had the wireframe of my app's main screen built within 3 minutes of me knowing about this piece of software

To the people worried about their data being sent to google or whatever (I'm not sure what they're actually worried about) -- the extraction of your eyes is done client side, using…

If we're suggesting Greek poetry I would like to suggest a more recent poet from my city who passed a few years ago, his name was Dinos Christianopoulos -- ( https://en.wikipedia.o…

I started using xmake a few days ago. Not sure if I will use it for new projects (due to CMake being the standard) but I definitely want to. The workflow is amazing and super fast.…

Is this something like a superoptimizer? looks cool!

Anki!

I love suggesting the novel “A concise Chinese-English dictionary for Lovers” as it really shows how people from such different cultures such as the chinese perceive the western wo…

exactly. i don't understand why people feel the need to blame antirez. he wouldn't do that if he still ran the project anyway
