What a twist, having textual window manager within a graphical user interface, and that textual window manager implementing bits of graphics. You'll soon may be able to implement overlapping graphics windows in TUI within GUI. This is

We do need to abandon the reality where we use the same few companies on a daily basis and get back to what's now hidden the under-the-surface: forums, blogs, personal websites. We need to re-discover the "free" internet we u

Turbo Vision library, which apparently inspired TRust, had a great object model, in which you could derive built-in classes implementing controls, windows, validators etc., extend them by adding custom functionalities and seamlessly plug th

I ignore sponsored posts and ads entirely, but Proton got my attention, as I used to trust it. Not anymore, sorry Proton.

I would replace "too big" with "too rich". Other than that, I agree.

Proton lost me after they started posting rage-bait ads on Facebook, targetting other tools and e-mail services, spreading total b.s. and lies.

This opens a possibility for a middle ground. A language which is not-too-verbose, and doesn't have too many symbols would perhaps reconcile some of them. As for storing sources as AST, that would effectively make them unreadable for m

I say the same about FreePascal, but not just for myself. I have deployed some CLI solutions that needed extreme Windows compatibility, from 95 through 98, NT, 2000, XP, ... until the very latest 11 / Server 2025. Only FreePascal compi

That actually is not analogy at all and it makes sense. When a low-paid Uber Eats delivery person just throws the box carelessly and brings damaged dish to the customer, that's a real issue. In digital services there's no such thi

If we can't get zero-days discovered and fixed in due time to protect our privacy, I certainly do hope one day AI will discover most of it and suggest how to fix it. I do hope it's going to be capable enough to be plugged into CI&

100 computers in 100 homes are way harder to find and get destroyed, unlike dropping one bomb on an AWS region. Also it's much easier to get rebuilt and running again than $1-5 bn data center.

I like it, and I hope it's soon going to be available in various Linux distributions, along with other modern tools such as fd instead of find, ripgrep instead of grep, and fzf, for instance.

Have you heard of automation? Cron? Certbot? You can schedule cert renewal and it happens automatically. It could be refreshed every 1 day, I don't care. The fact that it's so painful for you means you need to learn a bit more.
