Started using Zed about a year ago and, besides Magit, it has managed to completely replace Emacs for me. I was missing a good debugger for a long time, but that also went GA a month ago or so. One thing that goes underappreciated is the in

The original motivation of CSS was the cascading aspect of it. During its development, the web was largely seen as a web of documents. Style sheets tried mimicking how traditional publishers style their documents, books, etc. There is als

I am not very experienced in async Rust, but it seems there are some pieces of async Rust that rely too much on tokio internals, so using an alternative runtime (like pollster) results in broken code. Searching for comments mentioning &quot

Nothing has been able to replace Magit for me, yet. Having a Zed UI for Git like Magit is my dream feature request. With that said, Zed has effectively replaced all of Emacs for me, besides Magit. Additionally, typing in other editors feels

By switching to e.g. musl, you can go down to a single megabyte ;) But in all seriousness, my example is quite cherrypicked, since nobody will actually statically link glibc. And even if they did, one can make use of link-time optimization

Automatic toolchain switching does not trigger compilation of later Go toolchains; it only attempts fetching a blob (if available) and using that to perform builds[1]. If a system supports Go 1.21 but not 1.23.1 (e.g. Windows 7, mentioned i

The README is likely AI-generated. The actual go.mod file lists 1.23.1 as the Go version[1], which implies a requirement of Go 1.23.1 or higher[2]. [1] https://github.com/piyushgupta53/go-torrent-client/blob/6

Initially attributed the unresponsiveness of `npm install` to npm (the CLI tool) in general. Tried using bun to install dependencies, saw the same result -- but with actual logs instead of a vague spinner -- and decided to check Hacker News

HTTPS is not necessary to encrypt DNS traffic. DNS-over-TLS exists, but it has much less traction compared to DNS-over-HTTPS. I am guessing the reason is that HTTPS traffic all goes through port 443, so "censorship" of DNS becomes
