Yeah this is one reason, or Emacs freezing for up to a minute when updating packages. Also when using an LSP I notice latency. I use Emacs GUI (outside of the terminal) and compari…

I really like all the blog posts and videos the Zed team has put out, thank you if you’re reading this! Unrelated to this specific post I’m such a fan of Zed. It’s the first featur…

I’ve refused to rent in a place that required a brokers fee, and that meant most decent apartments were not available to me. I for one am glad this is finally coming to an end (aft…

The law didn’t pass or was quietly killed, presumably due to pressure by lobbyists representing rental agencies.

Wasm components can talk to each other, you do not need the JS FFI boundary.

AFAIK it’s not spread through saliva, or maybe the probability of spread is just much lower? But yes, sloppy kisses from adult relatives are gross and spread other things like herp…

Alternatively: we have more vaccines available today than previous generations, they’ve gotten cheaper, and are (in some cases) more effective.

The vaccine is effective for several decades, and hep b can spread through bodily fluids not just needles. Exposure to another kid with hep b could spread to your brothers kid.

The problem isn’t people or colleagues asking for help, the problem is feeling entitled to your time exactly when they want it. No one would get any work done if no one had schedul…

This is a neat idea (and good looking product), but unfortunately the issue is the people who tend to interrupt you in the office ignore all explicit signals in my experience. Wear…

No, the plan is to build a simple general purpose language. Lots of folks already enjoy using Zig, and not every language has to be in direct competition with others.

Anthropic as well

Racket, Guile, Gambit, Chicken Scheme, chez are all pretty solid with different trade-offs. I think Racket has a fairly decent developer experience and others like chez and gambit …

I’d recommend the earlier book in the series, The Little Schemer, for what it’s worth! It’s more aimed towards beginners. Similar format to this book.

Long-term Emacs user here: I actually just switched entirely to Zed.

Yep, also an underrated path! I had RHEL with nix briefly, so you got the support and stability of RHEL with the latest tools and packages from nixpkgs if you needed them.

I tend to mostly agree with this, having spent years with Arch and Gentoo on my personal machines. I like Debian and usually default to it for containers, servers, and VMs. My desk…

I really hope so. I don’t trust OpenAI and I’d really rather not have any integrations with them on any of my devices.

Nvidia is obviously an exception. That’s like saying working at startups will lead to higher monetary rewards because “look at early Facebook employees”, whereas your expected pay …

The article is indeed very shallow, the tl;dr is “Sam said AI will enable 1 person unicorn companies and I agree”

I’m eager to get a Framework again (returned mine when it first came out) as soon as they add an option for a better haptic touchpad. The current one is unfortunately atrocious. Gl…

Some of it is in Hare, and there’s some C code in there as well. https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/bunnix His blog post on it, if you’re interested: https://drewdevault.com/2024/05/24/20…

Yeah this is my problem with windows. I’ll delete or disable things that were added to my machine only to have windows update restart my computer and those things show up again. I’…

I agree that they should explain and are most likely just dropping the hammer on something they don’t like. My point is school boards have no requirement to be transparent and gene…

The school can still kick the student out for cause and the lawyer will not prevent that.
