The third option is to install some Linux like Ubuntu or Linux Mint on it. It is nowadays actually easier to install Ubuntu Linux than a Windows. Just be sure to back up your data …

I came here to recommend AwesomeWM also. Here is my setup, written in Fennel Lisp: peterhil/awesome-ultraviolet: Awesome WM theme with dark violet colours https://github.com/peterh…

The bold point really resonates with me. Lately I’ve been writing a CLI application in Python to analyse and generally handle possibly megabytes of DNA data. At first I wrote the c…

I just compared and evaluated Hatch, Flit, Poetry and Pdm and found Pdm to be most robust and slimmest. Hatch was a good second option, and Poetry and Hatch are easy to use, but ha…

Numpy and Scipy are good reasons. Unfortunately Scipy does not even compile on FreeBSD lately, and I have opened three issues about it against Scipy and Pythran (and the fix was wi…

I strongly agree with this, and I have been actively using Python since 2009. Trying top keep a Pygame/Numpy/Scipy project working has been a real struggle. I started it with Pytho…

I used to think like this, but then I read this: Troy Hunt: Here's Why Your Static Website Needs HTTPS https://www.troyhunt.com/heres-why-your-static-website-needs...

On Firefox you can right click and then choose "Save audio as..."

I was going to suggest this. It's cool that you build a file based database (IIRC) and query language in the third chapter!

I have already made one browser extension for easily adding bookmarks into the category (folder) you want to, or create a new subcategory while adding a bookmark. Try it out! peter…

I have made this even easier with Rosegarden, so that you can just use a promisified browser object in both Firefox and Chrome! The library is tiny, under 5 kb. https://github.com/…

An Acer video projector I bought for 50€. I also got a few years old Thinkpad X230 for 100€.

Excellent collection of reasons for not using AWS.

Carp Lisp is one lisp that has Rust like memory management without garbage collection.

Writing web applications with Lisp is a joy, so this is aptly named. I wrote one app with Uncommon Web framework on Common Lisp around 2009, with it you could similarly render the …

These are my main reasons to avoid systemd as much as possible. And a bug in systemd-udev on 32-bit Linux systems that periodically halted the performance of the system into unusab…

My first reaction was to see if the project is made with Commnon Lisp's ASDF, and cool now it has plugins for different languages. Common Lisp ASDF is very well thought out, but no…

I just get black background on the letters in Firefox – I tried all the letters. Does this work in Firefox?
