This hit me at the worst time. I linked a friend a tutorial in a git repository hosted on Codeberg a few hours ago, only to find out that Codeberg is down. I also wanted to try setting up a Forgejo instance in Docker, but it seems that the

Clerk is nice, but I'd like to point out Nextjournal offers a free-tier service and makes sharing and collaboration pretty effortless. It behaves like Clerk except it's "contenteditable", so to speak, and you don't

Yup. I couldn't ever use Git without Magit. The nice part about Magit is that it's already a very discoverable interface and, like Gitless, it just runs git commands asynchronously, so you can inspect the exact things Magit is doi

For web apps on desktop you're not even restricted to Electron anymore. Thanks to Tauri, I feel a lot more comfortable shipping web apps beyond the browser (and React Native) since I don't have to pay the cost of bundling Chromium

> if there is any advantage to JPEG XL over WebP or [AVIF] Of course there is. Better compression than WebP, and unlike AVIF, it supports progressive decoding, which is super important for users on a slow network. Although AVIF can somet

Also tangential: I'm looking for this kind of solution too. I always rejected xmodmap on the basis of it being specific to X11 and not necessarily "working everywhere". I personally want to be able to use S-c and S-v to copy-

How does this compare to Carp? Is there any good support for SIMD? where "good" means "we have more than a thin wrapper over immintrin.h"

Yup. I used to use Clozure CL all the time, but since the code I write tends to involve lots of number crunching, SB-SIMD and Loopus are indispensible. Even before SB-SIMD, SBCL has always seemed like the best Common Lisp implementation for

I have no idea how I consistently miss all of the random advertisements Mozilla apparently does in Firefox. Then again, I have a heavily customized Firefox and I'm used to every 5 or so versions breaking something in my userChrome.css

Hardware and system software. Blue Reflection is a game that really pushes the hardware to its limits; when there are heavy particle effects in the game, you can discern a steep drop in frame rate. This game was released March 2017. There

I still have a Japan model PS Vita that was manufactured circa 2018. It is unfortunate the hardware is stuck in 2014 (including the bundled WebKit!!). Through a Vita->SD converter and a jailbreak, I have nearly 40 games in this device. I

Clojure is still technically owned by Rich Hickey. Changes to Clojure are ultimately on his time and approval. With that said, both Clojure and Datomic are both worked on daily by Cognitect employees. Nubank in particular has a lot of inter

It's also super frustrating as the copyright holder. IIRC the Software Freedom Conservancy is still fighting against Vizio's GPL violations in court. I have no idea if the case will ultimately go anywhere, and hiring laywers is ex

One of the cool things about CMUCL is how its code is almost entirely in the public domain, and the parts that aren't tend to be a simple 2-clause BSD license. That's how you know the contributors do it out of love for the languag

This is one of my biggest frustrations about online programming discussions. The vast majority of complaints about OOP I've seen online are really complaints about Java and C++, and many of the problems are simply not present in Common

Why is this being downvoted? I find it pretty clear that there is a trade off between startup time and performance. You can also observe this sort of behavior by tweaking -XX:TieredStopAtLevel when launching Java. You get marginally faster

Ink is amazing for quickly hacking together TUIs. I recently did so with Nbb (Node Babashka) and and enjoyed the experience overall. My only real complaint is how everything in your VDOM seems to re-render on a state change. IIRC this is

Tonsky is a great person and it's sad to see even niche languages like Clojure are susceptible to GPT spammers. Every time I use GPT-4, either via ChatGPT Plus or Phind, I am always disappointed in how inaccurate the answers can be and

First of all, if you want to compare actual growth, you'll need a logarithmic scale. Second, if you add in alternatives like Vue.js, you'll realize React dwarfs both Angular and Vue.js, yet I don't see anyone on HN claiming &
